Benefit Porefessional Powder Review


For those of you who haven't heard about it yet, the Porefessional Powder is the new sister product for Benefit's hugely popular Porefessional Primer. I have to say I love the Porefesional primer, so I was excited to see what the powder version had to offer. It's a loose powder that claims not only to minimise pores, but to eliminate shine and leave the skin with an invisible, lightweight matte finish.




 The Packaging is typical Benefit, fun and innovative. The built-in brush and compact dispenser makes it perfect for quick application but I can't help thinking the packaging looks and feels quite cheap, which is dissapointing considering the £23.50 price tag. The brush is soft but very small, so not something I would use in my day to day makeup routine.



Packaging aside the product itself is quite nice. The powders very light weight on the skin and doesnt have an overly matte finish. I can't say I'm sold on the poreminimising properties, it doesnt provide a dramatic minimising effect to the pores like the Porefessional but it does control shine for 5-6 hours.





Overall I think the Porefessional powder has some good benefits, it's relatively long lasting and blends well but I'm afraid im not sold. You get 7g for £23.50 so I was expecting the powder to be quite exceptional for the price.

If you're looking for a loose powder to keep in your bag for touchups and shine control, this product could well be for you. 

Have you tried this yet? What do you think of the quality and price point?

Benefit Majorette Review - Booster Blush to Amplify your Flush

Introducing Majorette!

Benefit Cosmetics kindly sent me the new, highly anticipated Majorette Blusher.

Not usually one for cream blusher, I was pretty sceptical about this being 'The best cream blusher on the market' as some reviews are stating.


The Majorette cream blusher is designed to be worn on its own or under one of Benefit's Box O' 
 Powders. The packaging is typical Benefit, fun and eyecatching and is built into a solid plastic compact that's very handbag friendly, especially if like me, you've shattered countless powder compacts in your bag!





Benefit Majorette Blusher is actually a ‘booster blush’ which is designed to enhance the natural colour of your cheeks. The consistency is a smooth cream which blends well using the warmth of your fingers. The pigment is good and easy to build upon meaning you can create a natural dewy effect with a light application or a stronger flush to the cheeks if you reapply.

The blusher retails at a pretty eyewatering £23.50 for 7g.  





I have to say, I'm very impressed with the Majorette blusher and would definitely recommend it.

8.5/10 possibly a 9/10 if there was more product for the price.

 Color Intensity: ✓
Long Lasting: ✓
 Massively nostalgic and seriously yummy: ✓

Exciting News!



...More nerve wracking than exciting actually!

For a long time I've been watching makeup tutorials on YouTube and wished I had the confidence to upload one.. For me one of the most interesting makeup videos to watch is the 'smokey eye'. 

People have all kinds of interpretations of a smokey eye, some natural, some dramatic, but everyone has their own way of getting the end result.


So here goes.. My first YouTube Video.. Click here to Watch
