Beauty Product Reviews

Favorite. Primer. Ever.

I've tried dozens of primers, from drugstore to high end. I could never find the one for me, until my coworker recommended The Porefessional. I love the way it feels-so smooth and soft on the skin, and it definitely has an amazing effect on my foundation. As far as pores go, I know that you can't physically shrink a pore, but you can make them appear smaller, which Porefessional does well. My foundation doesn't feel like is oozing in to my pores and gunking my skin up when I wear it with this primer. I only wish it was mattifying! I also tried applying it on top of foundation, which added a bit more primer magic, but not by much.

Can't Live Without...

I stopped using Modern Friction for quite a number of years, after using it for several. I finally went back to using it, and by george, I wonder how I could have gone without it for so long! Makes your skin super soft, and smooth, helps your moisturizers and serums absorb better, brightens your skin, evens out skin tone and texture. And one tube lasts around 6 months! (You only need a pea sized amount, twice a week!)

Alcohol free, amazing smell, LOVE!

Although this toner is normally recommended for normal to dry skin types, I use it on my combination skin. It is alcohol free (to which my skin is sensitive), and has a lovely smell of orange blossom, bergamot, and white tea! It seals up the pores, and evens out your skin tone, and it even protects your skin from environmental damage! My make up didn't melt off, and my face stayed dewey-not greasy-throughout the day, like it normally does if I skip toner or use a toner with alcohol.
