Beauty Review: Benefit "That Gal" Primer

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry - combination - sensitive type of skin.

Benefit "That Gal" Brightening Face Primer is one of the Benefit's top sellers products. It costs $28.00

Product Description (from Benefitcosmetics.com):

Product Description:
Go from dull to darling with "that gal." It's a silky pink primer that makes skin appear smoother & brighter. Wear alone for clear complexion radiance or apply before makeup for smooth, effortless application. Re-brighten during the day with "that gal." It's "that gal" perfection for a happy complexion.

Tips and tricks: Twist the base until the primer is distributed on the top. Apply with fingertips onto the face. Blend this silky pink primer in an even, upward motion. Wear alone, or under makeup for smoother makeup application. Gently pat on during the day to re-brighten your complexion.

Product details
  • Contains soothing raspberry & chamomile, combined with sweet almond & algae extracts to help skin retain its natural moisture, for a soft & silky finish.
  • Light-reflecting pigments brighten the complexion.
  • 11 ml / 0.37 US fl oz

PROS: It smells so good! It smells like raspberry. It really gives you that "glow" like its promise. Its not oily or anything on me (my skin type is dry). A little goes a long way so this will probably last you a lifetime. Its also small so you can just carry it in your purse so you can touch up after a long day at work/school. I use my fingertips to blend this so make sure your hands are clean! I also like the twist thing and it will only dispense what you need. It also has light reflecting pigments kinda like the MAC Vanilla Pigment which helps brightening the face. It also helps soothes the redness on my face. You can top it off with your favorite foundation and it helps glide the foundation smooth and makes it long lasting.

CONS
: It has very light coverage so you need a really good skin if you're just using this alone. Its also pricey. For me, $28.00 is a lot already! :/ That's all the cons I can think of.

OVERALL: I'm loving it! If you have not tried it, go to any Benefit counter or at Sephora and ask for a sample. I will probably buy this again if I run out :) In this picture, I am not wearing anything except for the Benefit "That Gal" Brightening Face Primer. Notice that I don't even need to use anymore concealer for the redness around my nose and dark circles on my undereye. Also on my post: OVERTIME, I only used this primer and notice how it brightened up my face even with only 4 hours of sleep. :)
