About Me

I'm a southern girl through & through,
I dress to impress & to my own style I stay true!
I have charm, wit, & character too,
but ballin' on a budget is hard to do!

Benefit Cosmetics & the POREfessional

 

I am a big fan of Benefit Cosmetics because I have used quite a few products of theirs and have been very pleased with each one.  The POREfessional is a balm that minimizes the appearance of any pores on your face, but from personal experience I know that it also reduces the visibility of sun marks, freckles, and blemishes to give you an airbrushed complexion.

The product is only $30 and can be purchased here or other make up retailers, like Sephora!! The first time I bought it I thought that was pretty pricey for such a small tube, but it goes a long way because it is only necessary to use a minimal amount each time.  Its an easy applied balm that has a silky and lightweight texture to it.  It is an oil-free formula with a Vitamin E derivative and helps your make up to stay in place.  You can put it on before or after you apply your make up, which is great for me because I like to do touch ups during the day, especially after long work hours.

I am wearing POREfessional in the picture below, and although its a bit fuzzy because it's a picture taken from my cell phone- it hasn't been fixed or edited in any type of way.  My sun spots and freckles aren't as visible and my complexion looks great with the cover of this product and a very light foundation!

Another quick product of theirs that I'm obsessed with and wearing in this picture is their World Famous Neutrals eye shadows and the set I have is the Most Glamorous Nudes Ever. It comes with two cream shadows that are great for a base coat and then four powder shadows that are ideal to contour with.  "Call my Bluff" is the lightest shade and great to put in the corner of your eyes to make them appear bigger and brighter.  "Kiss Me, I'm Tipsy" is the darker shade that really helps to accent the creases of your eyes and to place at the base of your eyelashes as a liner or to pair with your liner.  The gold and blush colors, "It's Complicated" and "Gilt-y Pleasure" are two colors great to play with and use to transition the lights and darks. 

With these six colors you can really change your look from a more casual day at work or shopping to a more dramatic eye for your date night or night on the town! The kit is $30, but I have been using mine for a solid three months now so it's definitely worth the money. You can find it here at Sephora! Sephora carries three different sets of the World Famous Neutrals with different colors to find one that better suits your eye color or preference.  The one I purchased is shown below. 





Hope this helps you get that flawless look you've been looking for! Let me know if you have any questions :)
