INNISFREE No-Sebum Blur Primer, Mineral Powder, and Mineral Pact [REVIEW]

Perhaps, for the sake of a shorter title, I should make reviews for separate products at a time . But sometimes I find myself overwhelmed at the amount of products I've been meaning to review, but never get the chance to . To be honest I don't think I'll ever be able to catch up on that list, however I'll most definitely do my best to try ! haha . Plus since these all come from the same brand and line, it could sort of mould these products into one category . So here it is, a review on the INNISFREE No-Sebum Blur Primer, INNISFREE No-Sebum Mineral Powder, and INNISFREE No-Sebum Mineral Pact !


INNISFREE No-Sebum Blur Primer

This product is around $8 USD, and has around 25mL . When I first saw it I thought that it was very little product, but don't let that fool you ! Using very little of this definitely goes a long way, so much so that you'd be pretty surprised with how long this product will last for . And actually, if you use too much of this product it won't work properly-so remember to be weary of that when you're putting it on . This product is also pretty obtainable and can be found online quite easily . It has a matte finish .

This product claims to achieve a smooth skin texture by covering pores and wrinkles . In addition it also claims to cover bumpy pores, is not oily, and is long lasting . And of course, as the line suggests, it should help to regulate sebum control . First and foremost, I do agree that it most definitely helps to give your skin a smoother texture, and it is an excellent base for foundation . It also does a fantastic job of getting rid of fine lines . For the most part this is pretty long lasting, however in humid conditions this will not be able to last for a very long time, unfortunately . It will also make your skin feel a little uncomfortable, unless you use a really good powder finish if you use it in humid weather . And since this line is targeted for oily skin, I'd definitely avoid using this product if you have problems with dry patches since it will definitely accentuate them . 

Though I ended the results on a bad note, I am actually really rather fond of this product and it's one of my holy grails . Since it's colourless, or well it's skin toned, I don't have to worry about it leaving some weird cast . It also does a really fantastic job of smoothening the skin for a photo finish and for getting rid of smile lines . For more humid conditions I use a finishing powder that I know will try and compensate for what this primer lacks . But all in all, for its price I think it does a rather excellent job .

INNISFREE No-Sebum Mineral Powder

This product is around $5 USD, is around 5g, so it's quite small and petite ! It's honestly very cute haha . It comes with a puff, and even though that's probably more for applying the product on the face, I think it's much more suitable for just making sure the powder doesn't go everywhere . I am not a great fan of the packaging . That aside, this product will also last a long time if you use very little of it, and should only be used scarcely in order to get the best results as well . If not, you may look as white as a ghost ! (unless that's your thing, of course)

This product claims to regulate sebum as well and to control oil . And while I do agree that it does so, I think it only really works for climates that aren't so humid . When it's Winter in Japan or when I'm in Australia, this product works really well and will last for 5+ hours . In humid weather though, and I mean Japanese Summer humid, this product will only really last 1 hour, unfortunately . So though it's sebum regulation claim is not exactly true, I really love this product for the fact that the finish looks soooo good . I'm really not joking . It is wondrous how good this product makes you look in videos, photos, and real life for the price of $5 . It is also really excellent for dry shampoo, and mattifying your lipstick . 

My general impression of this ? I really love this product as well . The only gripe I have with this is the fact that it doesn't help so well in humidity though, even with the use of the blur primer . Because of this I tend to avoid using this product during humid conditions (which is Japan's summer) and I tend to go for something else during that time . Also, the packaging is terrible for travel and the puff that comes with it doesn't do the product justice . To fix that though I just use a kabuki brush and really make sure to put very little on this product when I put it on . And by very little I mean, to tap the kabuki brush 3-5 times before applying it on my face, making sure that a faint white cast is on my brush instead of just straight up powder .  Apart from that though, I love using this product, and is worth all the secret hassles to try and use it to the best of its abilities . Because at the end of the day, it's $5 . And the finish that you can get from it ? Priceless . 


INNISFREE No-Sebum Mineral Pact

This product is the most expensive of the line, and is approximately $10 . Perhaps it's because this is around 8.5g, compared to the No-Sebum Mineral Powder, which has less product . Surprisingly this product is pretty travel friendly compared to the Mineral Powder, and it also comes with a mirror which makes it super handy on the go . 

This product sounds really great right ?

But here's the thing . I hate this product . And sure, perhaps I should focus on its claims which is also just to control sebum, but at what cost ? You'd think that the Mineral Pact would have the same sort of finishing qualities of the No-Sebum Mineral Powder, but for some reason, it just doesn't . It doesn't make your face look any smoother and it just doesn't give that flawless complexion finish that the Mineral Powder gives (even when you use it with a kabuki brush) . 

I'm sorry but because I generally don't like the finish of this product, I don't see why you'd want to spend $10 on it when you could spend less for putting powder on your face . 

But on a better note

Even though I am definitely not a hype beast for the Mineral Pact, I do definitely love the No-Sebum Mineral Powder and the No-Sebum Blur Primer . The Mineral Powder isn't my no.1 product in its category, but if I lived somewhere that did not have a humid climate, I know that would probably be a completely different story . The overall price of this line is extremely good for the quality that you will receive .

So how about you, what's your go to powder finish and primer ? I'd love to know !
