Benefit Porefessional or Garnier 5sec Blur?

Saturday, 3 January 2015
Hi lovelies:) Today I'm here with a much better alternative of the infamous Benefit Porefessional primer. This primer is always talked about in the beauty world, it's considered to be one of the beauty items that you should have in your collection. I am going to be comparing it with the Garnier perfect blur 5 sec smoothing base perfector and showing you the difference between the two which I have observed.


- Garnier perfect blur 5 sec smoothing base perfector: 




This was the very first primer I ever used. It retails for $16.99 here in Australia. With this one, you can actually see all your fine lines and pores disappearing within seconds. I was amazed the first time I used it and it made my foundation look great. It's also a mattifying primer which is a bonus if you have oily skin. It makes my foundation stay on for a long time without my pores and fine lines appearing through the foundation. I ran out of this in about 2 months because I was using it every single day as it's results were truly amazing.

-Benefit Porefessional: 




In my opinion this product is so overhyped. First of all, it retails for $53 which is super expensive. I did not feel the need that I needed to purchase it however I got a mini sample from a benefit counter and another sample from a benefit kit which I purchased. I had high hopes for this product, but it did not live up to it's expectations. It did not make much of a difference at all. I find that my T-zone still gets oily even after I apply this primer. My pores did become a little bit smaller after applying it but that was really it.

To me personally the garnier is a much better primer as you can't beat the price and it's quality is heavenly. Hope you guys enjoy this post:)
