                                                         REVIEW:

THE POREFESSIONAL PORE MINIMIZING BALM 0.25us fl oz/7.5ml:







I had read so many positive review about this balm, that I was really excited to try it on my large pores.It does appear tinted, but after blending the color disappears.It has a silky texture and gives a silky feel to skin, preparing it for makeup.

However,I was really disappointed to see that it didn't reduce the size of my pores visibly.I mean it does even out the skin a little, like any other primer,but nothing extraordinary.For the record I have large pores on cheek area.This product does work for some,I know,but didn't do anything miraculous for me...even in winters. 


[UPDATE: Porefessional totally works.I didn't observe the difference, because I was taking too little and blending it.The correct way of use is to take a  pea size and pat on the area with large pores.No rubbing.Just pat pat and pat.The pores will be minimized,but ice pick scars(that look like pores will not).The shrinking effect will remain for a good three hours.So,now you can flaunt pore less skin :).]


NOTE:The effect also depend little  upon light angles.


To see how it looks on me see this post.I have compared the photo without porefessional to the photo where I am wearing porefessional.

HELLO FLAWLESS OXYGEN WOW BRIGHTENING MAKEUP 0.23oz/7.0ml:

Hello Flawless Brightening Makeup 0.23oz/7.0ml








This one comes in a smart pump bottle.I find it real cute ^_^ .This foundation is very very moisturizing and very easy to blend,whether using foundation brush or finger or sponge.Best result is achieved with a foundation brush.

The coverage is sheer,but can be build up to medium.If you have uneven skin or scars or dark circle,this foundation will not help you much and concealer is a must.

Well here comes the dreaded part,**drum roll**...This foundation is not for oilies.People with dry skin willl love it(moisture content high),but people with oily skin can easily skip it and they wont miss anything.

It made my pores look huge.There I said it.So, my dislike increased a bit.This is not long-wear type.After an hour I could see shi
ne on my face which no amount of re-touching with powder would hide for long.

It looked good on application,but after a few hours My complexion was back to i-am-not-wearing-foundation look.Also, Its  not just me... most of the reviewers agree that it doesn't stay for long.

RATING:

                         



BOI-ING CONCEALER 02,AND 03      2x0.05oz/1.5g :



















From right: BOI-ing 02 and 03




These two come in a concealer palette with two pans. Sufficient amount of product in each.It flips open to reveal two totally different shades. Boi-ing 02 is a pink toned shade.Beige will be accurate word for it. Boi-ing 03 is a yellow toned shade. 
I love love love both the concealer.They work like magic.Make the dark circles and spots and marks and pimples disappear in a wink of eye.
The texture is creamy.Actually a little harder than that.However,it blends so easily,that it is amazing.It covers every teeny bit of blemish which ever tried to mar your complexion.
The two colors give you the ability to blend and mix and match according to your need(red pimple or brown under eyes).This concealer is a must have in full-size.(Added it to my wishlist already).
These concealers stay for a long time (6-7 hours was my experience).

HELLO FLAWLESS 

POWDER In "I'm Cute As a Bunny HONEY" 0.14oz/4g:

Hello Flawless Powder In "I'm cute as a bunny HONEY"
Hello Flawless Powder In "I'm cute as a bunny HONEY"



The powder comes in a palette in the box,along with a brush which I didn't use,because it was small.It has a satin feel and a silky finish.This one is used to set the makeup.
I find it fine.Nothing bad, but nothing extraordinary as well.It does keep the face shine free for an hour or so.

    1. Basically its silicones so must be synthetic.However, I am not sure about vegan status.This post is from those days when I was unaware of use of animal ingredients in cosmetics. :) I started researching this in 2013.
