REVIEW: SAMPLE OF BENEFIT THE PORE FESSIONAL

Glamour Magazine, July 2012

It's that time of year again when women's bible - Glamour Magazine team up with the lovely Benefit Cosmetics to provide us with some scrummy freebees (a students best friend). With a choice of cult favourites "Bad Gal Lash", "That Gal, Brightening Face Primer" or "The Pore Fessional"- My large-pored-self naturally went for the "The Pore Fessional".

Having been battling against large pores for a good couple of years now (Me 0 - Pores 100000) I have been searching for anything that can fill in the little craters on my face... I think I have finally found it. The sample of the pore minimising balm you get free with the £2 July addition with the magazine is actually a fair size, considering it looks teeny weeny placed on my make-up table. It's 7ml, and after a week of using it, I'm still going strong - This may well be due to the fact that you need the tiniest blob to cover the areas needed to fill in those cheeky pores. 

The consistency is almost like a primer, it feel extremely silky on the skin, disappearing as soon as you apply and blend it, leaving the skin smooth as a babies bot and ready to rock. I've used the minimising balm with both a my Laura Mercier Mineral Powder and my Estee Lauder Double Wear Light - It works a treat with both types of foundation, challenging the eye to a game of "Spot My Pores". 

So kudos to Benefit and Glamour you've made a girl very happy and tomorrow I will be popping to my local counter (an hour away, living in the countryside is NOT helpful) to purchase a full size of the marvellous miracle cream "Pore Fessional" and might even have a peak at some other Benefit products, anyone recommend me some to try out? Would love to know your favourites... 

Lots of Love,
