Benefit POREfessional Review

Many of you were asking me , how to get a flawless skin? What kind of method , foundation brand or product that I used to get a smooth and flawless skin? How to cover the pores especially at the nose area? How to smooth out the skin without using heavy thick foundation?

Well, I am not saying that I am a professional doctor or makeup artist anyhow I am a consumer. I have trying out a lot of products in the market and this is one of the best products I've tried. So, there's no wrong to share the secret with you. Bear in your mind that this is not a sponsored post, therefore I would have my own words and opinions into the product mentioned.
I know there's a lot of techniques including Photoshop, 360 phone application and specialist skin care products that could help to shrink and minimize the pores, however, in this post I would introduce you one of the techniques and products that would help you to cover the appearance of the big pores. The answer is... 

POREfessional from BENEFIT. 

Where to get this product?
Frequent question: Why I never heard of it before? Well, this is one of high end makeup brands that is only available at SEPHORA, BENEFIT counters (pink theme counters at selected malls) and some are in PARKSON. You may find the store list here.

My Advise: 
Better go to the counter and try it yourself! Wear it in a day and experience the difference!

Benefit Porefessional claims;

“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.”

The function of POREfessional

This product can be used as a face primer , underneath foundation to hold and make your makeup last longer and stay all day long or to smooth-en out the appearance of pores and lines. Another bright side of it is, it makes the foundation blends easier and silkier. To be honest this product is great for oily and combination skin. This is because most of oily and combination skin face typed would have bigger pores appearance problem compared to dry skin. Moreover, I realized that it helps to matt-ify and smooth out the skin .  So, my advise is to get a well pampered moisturized skin before using this product to avoid flake-y skin.

Application

There's two way-application to use this product as pre-makeup (before) and touch up (after).

1)  Pre-makeup , Pat and blend it gently using your fingers before applying foundation, and it would acts as a primer. You may use it on all over your face or only focusing on T-zone area.

2) Touch up,  After you have done with the makeup, you may apply this primer on top of foundation and pat it on the area that you want to cover it up. It's kinda like "photoshop" method in real life. You may use this primer as  "touch up" at the middle of the day as it would helps you to matt-ify the skin. 

The texture 

It is a translucent balm product with a tinted brown color to it. It has silicone texture to it and makes the application glides smoothly and easier. There's no color for the balm and suits with all complexion.

Packaging

It comes in a tube with a small nozzle which is a good thing about it, no waste and over-squeezed product.
You would get the right amount needed for one time makeup application.

Yay or Nay?
All depends on your budget.

Have you tried it? What do you think?

Unboxing: February VanityTrove Beauty Surprise!

Assalamualaikum and Hi to all~

I just got a parcel from Vanity Trove to be reviewed and I will tell the truth from my heart; whats special in this box and what should they improve in order to compete with other competitors in the market. All these are my honest opinions and I'm not judging anyone. I'm so lucky to be selected to do a review on products although I'm not a popular blogger but it is an honor. Okay, we will see the first impressions when I get it and overall view of it. Besides that, I did my first video for this product since the box seems so special and attractive, so I decided to do a video by asking help from my friend a.k.a my official photographer, FadhliAnas. He's also good in 3D and all of design works ; (I'm totally opposite of him) haha. Check him out! 

Anyway, lets move to the VanityTrove box, a box full of beauty surprise!! :)

The minute I hold the box, I feel satisfied enough because the box is sealed and confirmed everything inside are in position. You know sometimes people would open it and steal during the delivery process. We can't trust anyone, meaning 100% trust. haha.

Okay, what I know, the box is really pretty, sturdy, tough, durable and elegant. It must be cost a lot. The packaging almost similar to ipad mini packaging. :) hahaha. Seriously, I really in love with this box, gonna store all of my accessories/makeup stuffs in it.

The reason why the box is special is , it is not open like a normal box with cover on top and so on. There's a ribbon on the side of the box and to open it, you need to pull the ribbon. Kinda practical cause we can reuse the box and put stuffs in it (the function is almost similar to drawer-interesting ya?).. So, the box is not a waste. If you want to DIY, you can collect 3 of this box and stick then together (eg: 3 stack of drawers), and wrap out the external box. It will be a nice makeup drawer for you :)

First Impression Rate: 5/5

I really like the box so I give it 5/5 too ^_^

When I unboxing it, the first thing I saw was, 4 pieces of blue paper cover it and has absoultely nice smell/ sweet/ soft scent. Reminds me of "hotel/high-class restaurant" smell. hahaha. Whatever it is, I conclude a pleasant smell ok? haha.

This is how the box looks like , the minute I opened it you can see all these are facing us. There are 8 items in it. Lets see them in details. Jom!

I rate this because I like the new items introduced to me and overall they are high end products that we never think to try with and know. Who are willing to spend their money to buy an expensive product without trying it out first? Malaysian love to hear review first or recommendation from someone they closed with before purchasing something. So, this box is really helps us to try out new things but there is something lack from this box. This is because , the box costs RM 60 per month but most of the items they get are in sample sizes. Just take example from this box, all are in sample/ travel size. :( Really hope VanityTrove can improve their products in it. The packaging is absolutely AWESOME, but the products is quite disppointing and not meet with people's expectation. At least give one full size product cause RM 60 is quite a lot of money. Eventhough I didn't pay for this box, but still, if I pay RM 60, I will feel a bit frustrated. Yet, still, the packaging and products choice are good. I can't wait to try Oriks BB cream, essence and B.LIV sebum gel. wiii~~~

Another one I like from them is their Public Relationship , the person that I contacted. She's really friendly, nice and cool. 

Even when they send out the boxes, they would inform you through email.  :) Good, we can keep track on it/ assume when would we get it.

The theme of this month is LOVE.

Its written " It's All about Love, indulge in our specially hand-picked beauty products to pamper yourself and your loved one!"
