Hi! Well, this post has been a LONG time coming. I knew I wanted to share this information with you guys, so I've had these photos saved my computer for EVER just sitting here waiting to be used in my blog :)
About a month ago, I was online shopping at Sephora, and was extremely compelled to buy this one particular product. Mainly because of its enticing and smart title: Benefit Cosmetics "How To Look Good At Everything" makeup box. The name completely speaks for itself, and I am now 100% obsessed with all of its contents.
The first thing inside of the box is the PORE Fessional pro balm.
This is to minimize the appearance of pores, as well as to create this lovely silky base layer before applying your liquid foundation. I have to say that I have definitely tried other primers before, but this one definitely takes the cake. All of the other primers I've used seem to have this wet or oily type of consistency, the PORE fessional actually is quite the opposite. If you weren't paying attention, you would think it was a light foundation. Its a bit thicker in consistency, but not enough that you feel like you're caking on makeup. Its very light and absorbs so quickly into your skin. I absolutely LOVE this product. If you're looking for a primer that keeps your makeup in tact all day (even during this sweltering muggy weather) then you're in luck. Definitely get this primer.
Next is the Hello Flawless 'Oxygen Wow' brightening foundation.
Again, I have tried many MANY liquid foundations, and I am by far the happiest with this product. I've tried Armani, Estee Lauder, Tarte, etc, but Benefit runs circles around these brands in my honest opinion. I've never had something with such full coverage feel as light as air on my face. Normally, you think when trying to mask all blemishes and imperfections, that you will have to buy very thick foundation, which in turn will give you that dreaded "cake-y makeup" look. Well, you couldn't be further from that dilemma with this foundation. It is deceivingly light and airy, and feels like I have nothing on my face. All while completely knowing full well that my face looked absolutely NOTHING like it did before applying this foundation. Its incredible, long lasting, and makes me so very happy. Love it.
Then, we've got the boi-ing cream concealers.
I use this along with my foundation mainly because it gives me that final bit of coverage for the attention seeking blemishes on my face. Just a dab of this product with your makeup brush will do the trick. I also use this underneath my eyes to brighten them and cover up any dark circles. This makeup stays in place and although it looks thick, again, its totally not. Very light going onto the skin and provides that extra coverage we sometimes need.
Lastly, and quite possibly my favorite -- is the Hello Flawless in "I love me" Ivory matte finishing powder.
Hi -- everyone, please know that you will most likely NEVER find another finishing powder as fabulous as this. For real. Listen to me. Are you listening? Yes? Good. :) After using the porefessional primer, the flawless foundation, the boi-ing concealer, you will need some sort of finishing powder to set your face. This is the one to use. I feel like I'm repeating myself (which I actually am, but hey) but this powder is so airy that it feels like you're putting a cloud on your face. For real. It does its job, lasts all day, and feels so yummy on your skin. Yes, YUMMY.
Okay, so have I convinced you to go out and try this product? Hope so :) Really, I wouldn't rave about a product just for the fun of it -- I am deliriously happy with my purchase, and feel like I have found my long lost makeup friend that I've been searching for since I was thirteen and putting cake-y N.Y.C. makeup on my face. (Oh, the horror!) I have now found my makeup life partner, and I wanted share in my excitement with you all.
I realize that everyone has different faces, with different complexions and needs, but if you have a mixture of dry skin, random blemishes, and darker circles under your eyes like me -- try this. It was only $32.00! How can you beat that?! Now, these products are not full size, but they are certainly not sample size either. Like I said, I've had this stuff for over a month and its still not even close to being used up. Now that I've tried all of these, I will for sure be getting myself the full sized products.
Thats it for today! If you have any questions or requests please leave a comment below!
Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you next time.
