Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Hydrate Primer Review & Swatches
I picked up a mini of the new Benefit Cosmetics The Porefessional Hydrate Primer at Ulta. How much do you love that all new makeup and beauty is available in a mini? It’s just such a great and easy way to try something before indulging in a larger size. I paid $13 for the 0.5 oz size. The larger size is 0.75 oz for $32. You’re getting quite a generous amount in the smaller size and plenty to try out before you commit to that larger $32 dollar tube.
I have a love hate relationship with the original the Porefessional formula. It isn’t a formula that’s best for my skin type which is why I was excited about the launch of Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Hydrate Primer as that sounded perfect for my drier skin. Jeez! It sure did take a long time to get here though didn’t it? You’d think at this point in time Benefit would have already gotten on board creating a hydrating primer of some sort. But I do remember a time when hydrating primers were a rarity. 10 plus years ago when Korres introduced their Silicon-Free Primer I was shocked, delighted, and absolutely excited to finally have a primer on the market that would work great on drier skin.
Nowadays hydrating primers are plentiful and not terribly innovative but it doesn’t make the launch of Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Hydrate Primer any less exciting.
