Benefit's Porefessional Vs Loreal Blur Cream

So I have heard of a few dupes for the porefessional by Benefit and decided to try this one; the Nude Magique Blur Cream by Loreal Paris. 

Both of these primers suggest that they do the same thing, minimise the look of pores! 

I have been using the Porefessional for a few months now and I love it, it does exactly what it says it does. But at €34 for a 22ml tube it can be very expensive to be using it a couple times a week like I do. So when I heard that the Loreal blur cream is a dupe I just had to test it out ;-) The Loreal blur cream is €12.99 for a 25ml tube which is significantly cheaper, but how does it compare? 

First off I compared the textures of the product... 

The Porefessional is a slightly thicker consistency than the blur cream, also the blur cream can be difficult to get out of the tube. The blur cream comes in 2 shades which are light to medium and medium to dark, however I did not notice any colour payoff from the product. The Porefessional is only available in the one colour as far as I know but again, there is no real colour payoff. 

Also, the Porefessional has a faint make up smell (which is nice!) whereas there is no noticeable smell off of the blur cream. 

As for application, I did need twice as much of the blur cream to do the same job as the Porefessional. Both products felt the same once applied to the face, and both did a good job at covering my pores! I also tested the longevity of the products and after 4 hours they are both still intact and still concealing them pores!! :-D

The above picture is the Loreal Blur Cream after 4 hours of wear, the picture below is the Porefessional... Pretty similar if you ask me!

My overall opinion is that the Porefessional is slightly better at covering larger pores than the blur cream, but on smaller pores there is no difference between the 2 products! 

Hope you guys enjoyed my little head to head review! 

Love and hugs, Lora xo
