What I think: Firstly the bottle needs a good shake, at first oily residue just cam out, not ideal! But after a good shake that soon went! The colour of the primer is lovely and perfect for my skin, but would suit a wide variety of skin tones as when applied it is only a tint and barely noticable. I applied with my fingers and you only need a very small amount for the whole face, so even the sample will last a fair while. ITS SO SILKY, like rubbing a scarf across your face, yum! It really does make the perfect foundation base, I can't deny my pores were minimised, I could barely see the open ones one my nose..score! My foundation stays put pretty well when set anyway so not sure it lasted any longer as thats never really an issue for me. Overall, it really is lovely and I completely understand all the hype surrounding it now. I can see what will happen..bye bye tester, hello full size bottle!
The Porefessional is free in the July 2012 Issue of Glamour (£2 for 7.5ml) and also available from Benefit (£23.50 for 22ml, so technically you could pick up a full size bottle for £6 if you bought 3 Glamours..bargain! Mathematics whizz here!)
Have you tried Porefessional? If not, whip one up whilst they're free in Glamour (its a good read too!)

I can't wait to finish my Pur Minerals Primer so I can try something different! This looks like something I would be interested in..does it keep the shine down??

Its lovely, I really would recommend it :)No shine whatsoever, would even suit oily skin without slipping! Benefit suggest you also apply over foundation, it gives a really lovely dewy look and healthy sheen to skin without looking oily too! :) xx

ReplyDelete:) I love waking up in the morning knowing you've got new products to try, makes getting out of bed easier! I wasn't overly impressed by that gal but going to give it another whirl! x
DeleteMan, I really wish they offered these freebies with magazines in the US! They look amazing and like such a good deal! I really want to try the porefessional because I really struggle with open pores in my t-zone. Great post! xoxo
