Benefit Porefessional Review

Hiya

Here's my review of the bestselling Benefit primer, the Porefessional Pro Balm, which (no spoilers) is one of the primers I like to use, and claims to minimize the appearance of pores.

This balm comes in one shade but appears to match all tones. I have only ever had one bad experience with this product, which claims to be oil free, and I hadn't used it in a while. Upon opening, a whole load of what appeared to be oil spurted out which was gross. However the product after that seemed fine...?

Packaging- Nice, typical Benefit  and clearly says what it does, how to apply etc.

10/10

Dispenser- Very small hole in tube, squeeze to dispense. Has a tendency when running low to squirt out at once, and must be careful when travelling not to dispense

8/10

Texture- Matte, oil free balm: feels great on the skin.

10/10

Fragrance- Lovely skincare cosmetic-y, Benefit smell that I personally love.

10/10

Application- Easy, with fingers is best, I wouldn't advise using a brush to be honest. 

10/10

Longevity- Lasts all day as a natural, matte-ish pore minimiser. I like to use under foundation rather than on top, due to the glitter, and it does stop my makeup from sliding off my face as much.

9/10

Coverage- Fairly natural but definitely is a great minimiser.

10/10

Pigmentation- Not exactly pigmented but does have a tint that seems to work with any skin colour. Does have glitter, which I would remove, but it isn't noticeable, especially under foundation

8/10

75/80! I think we need to take a moment to worship how good this is.

This is a truly great product and I can see why so many people love it (I think it's one of Benefit's best selling products). And the fact that it is oil free and doesn't clog pores means that it can basically suit any skintone.

Look: New Years Party

Hi guys!

Christmas is over, and with New Years here, I thought it was appropriate to do a New Years Party/meal out look!

My family and I are going to Birmingham for a fancy meal and to watch the fireworks! (I also recommend the London shows - they're fab!)

So, I guess this is sort of a 'Get ready with me' post, but not too detailed! :D

Review: Miss Sporty Lash the Miaoww Eyeliner

Hi Guys!

I've decided to do another review for you!

This time I will be talking about the liquid eyeliner from Miss Sporty. 

I have never used products from Miss Sporty, so this was a new experience for me. 

The reason behind this purchase was purely because I needed a new Liner! 

I have been using this product for around 2 weeks now, so have got a general feel of  the product.

   Price - £2.99

Review: Collections contour kit

Hi guys!
It's high time I do a review on here, so I thought I would go ahead and write about collections contour kit.

This is my first contour kit, and I went into Boots, set to buy one - and came out with this. I have been using it for a while now, perhaps 2 weeks.  

Price - £3.99

3) Stay at home (only going out for shopping, a walk...)

Beginners makeup bag ideas!

Hi guys,

This post is going to be what i think a beginner/newcomer to makeup should own and
have in their makeup. Amber and I are both 14 and we are both into makeup and I don't see a problem with that. I don't think there should be an age limit to when you can start wearing makeup,
as long as your parents are happy with it.

Beauty and Christmassy Haul

Natural Collection Review

Ok, so as I said in the introduction, I am interested in experimenting with low cost makeup because well a) It's low cost so it doesn't leave you broke b) I am a teen on a budget, who has expensive hobbies (shopping..) c) surprisingly not all cheap brands are bad!
