Aloha!
It's time for another beauty product review! This week I am reviewing Benefit's Pore-fessional balm primer. I will admit, I was super excited to try this product; I have heard nothing but good things about it. Unfortunately, my hopes were crushed to oblivion as I was very disappointed with the outcome.
To begin, I was a little weary of the texture of this primer. Because it's a balm, it has a thicker texture, yet it felt lightweight, which I liked. I liked the feel of the balm when I sampled it on my hand in Sephora, but not so much when it was smeared all over my face. This product is aimed at minimizing pores, but all I felt like it did was clog them. I only wore this primer for a few days, but it made me feel like a hot, oily, clogged mess! Moreover, it didn't even help to perfect my appearance. To me, it's a primers job to create a perfected canvas for the foundation. This primer just left me feeling and looking gross. I would not recommend this product for anyone who has oily or combination skin; it will only cause more oil.
Watch: Fossil
But most importantly, this primer did not do what a primer is supposed to do: keep your makeup on! It was completely useless; I felt like my foundation was just melting off my face (and it's winter.... Imagine wearing this in the hot, sweaty summer!) Whenever I would get hot, this primer made my foundation bead up and fall out of place, which, as you can imagine, did not make me very happy. By 3 o'clock all of my foundation had moved and my makeup looked disheveled.
I was less than impressed with this product. For the price, I would have expected much better quality. Needless to say, I am not jumping on the Pore-fessional band wagon.
