WORTH THE HYPE? | BENEFIT POREFESSIONAL

Sunday 22 December 2013

If you read lots of blogs like I do you won't have missed the hype about Benefit's POREfessional primer ever since its release (I don't actually know when it was released). In the first of a new series, I will be deciding whether this primer is really worth the hype.

Pros
  • Soft on the skin - doesn't clog pores
  • Not pigmented
  • Adds a fresh glow to areas with bigger pores
Cons
  • Expensive (about £24)
  • The difference it makes to your skin isn't massively noticeable
I couldn't actually think of that many cons to the product. I have big pores and terrible skin, originating from when I was a teenager. I'm incredibly sensitive to new make-up or any kind of product. I've been using this primer for a good few months, and it makes my skin look clearer once I've slapped all my make-up on. Now, I feel naked if I don't have it on - I just always know there's something missing.

I've heard that Benefit are releasing a POREfessional Agent Zero Shine on the 26th Dec. As someone with really oily skin, the product is on my wish list.

much love,
Cally

  1. I really like this product but it is expensive for a primer, I found a great alternative to it and reviewed it here, much more purse friendly > http://www.emsmixedbag.com/2012/10/a-cheaper-alternative-to-benefits.html

  2. Yes their oily skin one is definitely on my list too! I think that it prepares the skin so well for make-up too, although it isn't a massive difference it's like a necessity now haha xx

  3. I've never tried..! I just reviewed the NYX pore filler on my blog and it's great so far.. I do want to try the porefessional just to see.. Nice review.

  4. I'd like to try it, but I agree on the fact that it's a bit too expensive for a small result... I have this a lot with Benefit products actually, although their packaging is so wonderful :D
