Review || The Porefessional by Benefit

 Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Sorry my blog seems to have taken a bit of a back seat at the moment, I seem to be having exam after controlled assessment after exam and I guess school work comes first. The ol' camera seems to have decided to go on it's own adventure and may not return for a few days so I'm digging out photos I took weeks ago. Anyway, today I thought I'd talk about one of my favourite primers, the Porefessional. It's obviously not a new release but as I love it so much I felt it needed it's own little spot on my blog!

Before I bought this in the summer I had my eye on it for about a year and finally made the purchase when I was up in Manchester. I have combination oily skin which also means I have larger pores and makes makeup application and wearability a nightmare. Cue Benefit the Porefessional. Benefit describe it as a 'PRO balm to minimize the appearance of pores,' which I couldn't agree with more. The silky finish is unlike anything else I've tried and definitely makes my skin appear smoother. The Porefessional doesn't claim to allow my makeup to last for longer (and doesn't) which is something I do look for in a primer and the only let down. However with a good foundation, think Bourjois Healthy Mix, and powder this works well. For the price (£24.50) I'm not sure if it'll be a repurchase though. Thus the quest for the perfect primer continues...

 

What is you favourite primer? Any recommendations?

Currently Lusting || Beauty Expert Picks

 

1.Pixi Blush in Healthiest Honey 2.Parsley Seed Cleansing Mask 3.Korres Lip Butter in Pomegaranate 4.Alpha-H 5 Piece Skin Perfecting Essentials 5.Real Techniques Travel Essentials Kit 

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! As a big fan of the website Beauty Expert I thought I'd make a little wish list of all the many products I'm currently lusting after. Lately I've been a lot more into my skincare and Beauty Expert offers a huge range of cleansers, face masks, serums, gift sets... you get the jist. They also have a beauty guide so if you have any specific problems, such as oily skin or redness, there is plenty of information. Not only is there great skincare but plenty of makeup as well. Pixi is brand I've been meaning to try for a while and I've only heard positive reviews about their blushers. The Real Techniques travel essentials kit is also something I've had my eye on but struggled to find.

 

I feel that online Beauty has progressed a lot in the past few years and sites like Beauty Expert are spot on with the customer needs!

What's In My Handbag?

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Recently it struck me that in the six months that I've been writing this little blog I've never done a 'What's In My Handbag' style post. I absolutely love being nosey and seeing the bits and bobs people carry around with them and have read countless posts of this kind. So I thought, 'Hey, why not?' It's not often you can have a peek around inside someone else's bag without them thinking you're trying to steal something!

First things first, my bag is from Primark and was super cheap at the price of £10. Whilst not the sturdiest of its kind, it does the job well and with it being black, goes with most outfits. Inside my bag I carry my Disaster Designs purse, which is great as it has loads of different compartments. Soap and Glory's Hand Food is amazing and great for dry, winter mitts. I also take my Ted Baker makeup bag which I fill with all my makeup essentials (full post). Next up are some random hair bands and a cute Accessorize packet of tissues. My house key is also something I put in my bag. I use my MAC Creme Cup lipstick so often that I always carry it around with me and of course I bring my phone.

What are in your handbags?
