the POREfessional, benefit cosmetic review.

the POREfessional

"You have to try POREfessional" is literally all i heard for weeks from friends and family who have tried the product, so i went ahead and tried it. There always seems to be a big hype about this product and everyone i ask seems to love it so i thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a go. I got a small sample size tube in one of the makeup sets that benefit sell, although the standard bottle retails for £24.50. They come in a 'squeezy tube' and a little bit definitely goes a long way!

POREfessional is a primer so it is applied to the face before any other makeup. You squeeze a small amount onto the hand and rub around to 'warm it up' it is then applied to the face. This product is designed to keep makeup on for a longer period of time and to reduce the visibility of pores on the face. Reluctantly, I'd have to say that when i used it my makeup did stay on for a little while longer. I say 'reluctantly' because as a whole i don't really like the product.

Personally, i don't really understand the hype about this primer because i don't think it is really all that good. Yes, it does keep on our makeup for longer, but i experienced quite a few break out of spots whilst using the product. Even though i was breaking out in spots i carried on using the product as i didn't know if it was just my skin having a bad few days (this was definitely not the case, haha!) My face wasn't covered in spots or anything (a few spots would appear as the others were going) but it still made me feel, well, ugly! After this i stopped using the product and just started to apply some powder if my makeup was starting to come off, this did the trick perfectly! (and didn't give me bad skin!)

A couple of weeks later i decided i would try to use the primer again, because after all maybe i was just having a 'bad skin week'. So i began to use the product once again, and not to my surprise i started to break out again(aarrgh so annoying!) After this i instantly stopped using the product and just used powder (you cant complain when its a cheaper alternative and doesn't give you bad skin, can you!)
After my experience with the POREfessional i defiantly would not recommend the product, to anyone! I find that a nice powder is better for me and works the same, if not better!

What is your favourite primer?

My first blog!

Hey guys, welcome to my very first blog!

Hi guys! As you could probably tell from the title this is my very first blog. Ive been wanting to start a blog for a while now, but I suppose I never really had the courage (I still don't really, but here goes!) 

This blog at the moment isn't particularly themed as I've only just started blogging and I don't know which theme I'd like to talk about the most, as of yet. So you're probably wondering what this blog could be about if it isn't themed yet; well I have answers!:) I thought it would be a good idea seen as though I have only just started to blog about my life and everything that goes with it! It could mean I blog about certain restaurants I went to or maybe reviews on different products, but because I am brand new to blogging I though firstly I would introduce my life to you so you can just see me and who I am (not that I'm exactly interesting, but who knows hopefully you'll be entertained reading what I like and where I go, haha!)

So give me a follow if you'd like to hear more from me and it will also give me a chance to check out new bloggers that I haven't yet seen!:) Thank you.
