Hello lovelies!
Hope 2013 is treating you well. As most of you know I'm a die hard fan of Benefit Cosmetics, hence I was delighted when I was sent this product of review purposes. Now this product was on my wishlist from a year, but somehow I never got it.
What Benefit has to say about the product:
Why we love it
Quickly minimize the appearance of pores & fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin! Apply this silky, lightweight balm alone, under or over makeup. Translucent, oil-free formula complements all skintones and helps makeup stay put. Contains a Vitamin E derivative, known to protect skin from free radicals.How to Apply
To use under makeup: Apply to clean, lightly moisturized skin. Pat on problem areas & blend with fingertips.To use over makeup: Pat on lightly over makeup & blend.
My Verdict:Now this product really works. I wouldn't say that it hides pores 100%, but it helps in hiding them a great deal. I love how this balm ends up non-oily/sticky and adjusts to the skin tone like you're wearing nothing! I noticed that foundation applies smoothly after the application of this balm. Prior to using a primer (this being my first), I never really understood the fuss behind it, but now I can't seem to be missing the priming stage during makeup application. Overall a satisfactory product.
Ps: The packaging now comes with a new muse, The Spy Gal (Benefit's own version of 007). The Spy Gal comic book is also out which is a fun read! I love how they combined her gadgets with makeup products.
