My thoughts on some of Benefits products

Just to throw this out there. I am not affiliated with Benefit in any way. I just went on a bit of a shopping craze with their products because I really wanted to try them. 
 
List of items:
The Porefessional
That Gal
Hello Flawless Foundation
Erase Paste
Benefit Nice Melon Eyeshadow
Cabana Glama Set

My thoughts on each item:
The Porefessional: Is a MUST have! If you are looking for a lightweight and silky primer this is definitely your best bet. I've tried Laura Merciers primer and I don't know I was not a fan. I'm not too sure what the hype is about. The Porefessional by Benefit is my go to primer

That Gal: This is an illuminating primer. What I do is mix the Porefessional and That Gal. It gives me an amazing glow on my face. Makes my foundation look a lot more flawless. That Gal is not an essential buy, if you are on a budget I say spend a bit on Porefessional!

Hello Flawless Foundation: This is a light coverage it is build-able but not to the point it is a full coverage foundation. It's a very watery consistency. It does have an spf of 25. I really do like this foundation. I've been using it for a month now. I only use it when I want to have a natural light face and I do not use this for going out at night.

Erase Paste:Ahhhh. I am NOT loving this product. It comes in a small glass container, the paste is at the bottom which makes it very hard to take out. I'm not to sure why but I started getting bumps on where I would apply the paste. I thought that maybe it was the foundation but I realized that I only got bumps in those certain areas. The bumps were not pimples...I think I might have been allergic to one of the ingredients? I'm not to sure. Either way I stopped using it and never got those bumps again.

Benefit Nice Melon Eyeshadow: The reason why I got this single eyeshadow is because it came with the Cabana set which you see in the picture (all the way to the right). I use this as a highlighter on top of my cheeks, on top of my nose, and right above my lip to give it that pop! I GUARANTEE YOU WILL LOVE HOW THIS EYESHADOW GIVES YOU A GLOW AS A HIGHLIGHTER!!! I would've never thought of using this as a highlight but the benefit employee used it on me and I fell in loveeeee. It gives you this beautiful shiny glow. Makes your face look so much alive!!! I definitely recommend this as a highlight and also a all over the lid color~

Cabana Glama set: Comes with 3 eyeshadows, Hoola Bronzer, Some kind a gorgeous foundation, two brushes, and a posie tint lip & cheek stain. I have honestly not tried the foundation that comes with this set (cream based). I really do like the Hoola Bronzer and will be purchasing this again once I run out!
