Happy 2014! It's a new year and that means trying new things, especially new products! I decided I wanted a new foundation and something that will give my complexion a nice flawless look. I heard a few good things about Benefit's porefessional and wanted to give it a try, it's supposedly does the trick with smoothing away the pores and I could use a few smoothing away all the while looking and feeling natural for an every day look.
Went into Sephora with an open mind and browse through the benefit aisle, and spotted this adorable complexion kit complete with a porefessional primer, a foundation, two concealer and a setting powder for the price of one porefessional primer so I thought it was a better deal. Since I have never tried any of these product I went the safe route instead of purchasing the full sizes for a higher price.
The packaging is super cute, it opens up like a book and inside are the products all lined up perfectly, including some helpful and cute tips and tricks. The porefessional primer is amazing, it's easy to apply, doesn't leave any oily residue and really does smooth away those pores. The foundation was also very smooth and lightweight, it looked really natural and gave my complexion a glow. However, the concealers and powder was a bit too dark for me while the foundation was easier to work with, I am light but I figure the light shades would be too fair for me. Wrong. But overall I really like the porefessional primer and the foundation, I would definitely repurchase the full size and use it well.
Wore it for a concert and had it on for at least ten hours straight while waiting in the cold and also while dancing and sweating the night away inside the concert and it remain intact. A little really does go a long way, only con with this set is that there are only three shades, light, medium and dark, which never really works out with so many different ranges of skin tones and such. Love it nevertheless! Purchased at Sephora for $30.
