Review: Benefit: The Porefessional






First off, I'd like to say that I've never really used a face primer of any sort. I've never felt the need to I guess. I've used them, but not for long periods of time. So I had no expectations for this product. All I knew was when I tried it on my hand in Ulta it smelled good, it make the little patch of skin look pretty good and the reviews I read online were mostly good.

Having used it a few times now, here is my list of Pros and Cons:

Pros:
-I love the way it makes my skin feel (at first)
-My makeup doesn't start sliding as fast.
-I do notice a bit of a difference in the appearance of my pores.
-Goes on smoothly/easy to apply/doesn't clump up.
-I like that it's translucent

Cons:
-This is a ridiculously tiny tube for the price.
-Towards to middle of the day, even if I touch up with powder, my skin starts to feel heavy. I feel like I'm wearing overly caked-on makeup and I can't wait to get home and wash it off.
-The effect it has on more pores is noticeable, but not enough to really impress me, and certainly not worth $30. There are so many better things I could do with that money.

So in the end, I do like the product but I probably won't buy it again after finishing this tube. The price is ridiculous for a broke ass girl like me. I'll find something cheaper, or just go back to not using primer at all!
