During the christmas sales I was on the hunt to try some new products I hadn't used before or something I wanted to use again that I hadn't in a long time. So while I was browsing I came across some Benefit bargains at John Lewis I couldn't ignore. In their sale I came across a gift set called Benefit Join the Porefessionals Trio Gift Set , £19.50 (worth £37). This gift set gives you all the products to set and keep your makeup in place so let's chat about the products.
In this giftset you get 3 travel sized products from the Porefessional collection including 2 mini primers and a setting spray. Products that minimise the appearance the pores is what Benefit is most known for. A giftset like this is perfect to try out a selection of products without breaking the bank.
Let's start off with the Super Setting Spray. This spray is designed to be a weightless formula that can help blur pores and make your makeup last up to 16 hours. I always wanted to try out this spray because a lot of people have said how much they love the mist applicator and it's less intense then other setting sprays that drench your face. This spray sets really quickly on your face so you aren't waiting ages for it to set. I find it mad because when I apply the spray I do notice my face looks smoother which is so surprising that a spray can have that effect. I'm so glad I got this spray and I'll definetly get a full size one when I run out.
As I mentioned earlier you also get 2 mini primers in this giftset so I got mini The Porefessional Hydrate Face Primer and Porefessional Pore Minimising Face Primer. Both of these primers are designed to smooth and reduce the appearance of pores on your complexion. Everyone knows and loves the original primer including myself, I used to use the primer all the time and it worked wonders on smoothing my skin. After the success of the original primer Benefit then released a upgraded version that not only blurred your complexion but could also hydrate your skin at the same time. It's perfect for anyone would dry skin especially. Both primers feel amazing on the skin and really do help to smooth your complexion without drying your skin out but I would say the hydrating version is my fav out of the two.
I love sets like these because like I said it's a great way to try out a few products in one go without breaking the bank. It's one of the things I love about Benefit they have a massive range of mini / travel size makeup products so you get the chance to try out their products at a more affordable price point. So check out your local Benefit counters or stores to see what products they have to offer.
