Loved it

I got a sample of this in a magazine a while back and was very impressed with the effects of this cream. It is quite thick and clearly has a silicone base. It just disappears into your skin and does fill in fine lines and blur pores. The only problem is that it doesn't do it for very long, probably about 2 or 3 hrs later it wears off so to speak. I use it as a primer and I like it fir this. I would definitely buy this again.

What a shame that the effects aren't longer lasting.

Good blurring effect

I got this pretty much as soon as it came out and was on special, verdict - I like it, I like it a lot!

The packaging is nice, I like anything red! It states on the packaging it's for ages 40 to 50, I'm not 40 yet, but still feel it had an effect on my skin immediately.

First time I used it (after cleansing), I applied it to half my face to see if there was a difference and I'm pleased to confirm there was. It was slight but noticeable. I don't have a huge amount of wrinkles, other than around my eye area and these wrinkles just looked softer and smoother and that half of my face looked much improved, younger actually. Even the bags under my eyes didn't look so big.

When applying, I just use my fingers to smooth it into my skin and wait a minute before applying foundation. I prefer to use it as a primer as my skin is not that wonderful, it's very red and I don't do the bare skin look because of that, but, if your skin is not red like mine I would use it alone.

It feels like exactly like benefit porefessional to apply as it's got silicone in it, so if you don't like that feel best not to try it.

I think it's pretty good value for money as you don't use copious amounts of it and a little goes a long way.

I haven't tried any other blurring creams yet but once I've finished this tube I'll try another brand, just to compare.

I haven't gone 5/5 as it claims after 1 month of use lines and wrinkles appear reduced etc. It's true as far as after you've used it lines and wrinkles appear reduced but it doesn't actually change your skin if you don't have it on your face.

Tips: I wouldn't recommend this to those of you with young looking skin as you would just be wasting your money.

Don't expect a miraculous change or you will be disappointed. The change you will see is slight but definite.

I Like The Results

I have been using this for about a month now and I must say I like what it does.

I really only have one pesky wrinkle near my right eyebrow which I like/need to minimise and when I use this and then apply my foundation, it disappears into nothing!

Personally I find the results to be long lasting and I don't really need to use much to achieve a "blurring" of my wrinkles.

I am 37 so just sit outside of the age demographic. I use this as a primer underneath my foundation.

I am going to buy and try the Garnier 5 second perfect blur, just to see which one performs better!

Tips: You don't really need to use much to achieve the results you want.

Blurred pores, Not wrinkles

The thought of 'blured' wrinkles excited me, i mean, im 33ish, and am slowly showing the signs of age. First off, this feels SO soft!! I love the feel of it on my skin, it didnt make me anymore oilyer, and i just felt like my skin was young again. I instantly noticed my pores had dissapeared, but no wrinkles, maybe as i dont wear a day moisturiser, and you are meant to put it on after moisturising. I find this a GREAT primer!! i get so many amazing compliments when i use it as a primer. Totally reccomend people to try it out.

Tips: if you are worried about wrinkles, use it as suggested - over moisturiser - it will probably work a heap better than without.

Magic Blur

I really like this product. I got free samples with my online grocery order and decided to try and I loved it so much I went and bought the full size product. I have been using it as a primer and feel it gives me a more "polished" look. I love how it makes my skin look all smooth, it smooths over pores, and makes forehead look less lined. I put it on over my moisturiser and leave it a minute or two before applying my foundation or BB cream. In my opinion it doesn’t reduce wrinkles but it does reduce the appearance of them. I do sometimes tend to find with this product that my face does appear a little greasy at the end of the day, unlike another new blurring brand recently out on the market.

Not for me

This made my skin feel super smooth and soft, but it didn't really make it look any smoother, which I thought was the point. I noticed if I wore this under my foundation, it actually made it cake up quite a bit on my nose and forehead, which I really didn't like. It didn't look too different either.

I also tried this out with just a powder over top, but I didn't get enough coverage so it's not something I would wear regularly. The rest of what I have pretty much just sits there on my dresser. I'm not sure if it's just my skin type or foundation preferences, but this was definitely not for me.

Throw the primer out magic blur is all you need

I purchased this Revitalise Magic Blur after being recommended via our own BR forum, and couldn’t resist the temptation of the lure which Magic Blur supposedly offers.

The packaging is very standard for another product of the L’Oreal Revitalise range so it’s colour / theme blends in with the rest of the products. The red tube is quite large for the price, even though there are cheaper counterparts on the market. Inside the creamy formula is orange/peach colour and has little or no fragrance to it, rubbed between your fingers it has a soft silkiness that dries to a type of velvety rubberised feeling.

Once applied a small piece of the cream onto the back of my hand I used my fingertips to blend over my face as a primer after cleansing, toning and moisturising, pre makeup. The effects are pretty well instant, all the shiny patches of my skin have been transformed into a velvety matte, the whole surface of my skin has a matte look that feels super soft, all fine wrinkles get filled in to be plumped out along with small red areas being evened out, I didn’t really need much foundation after apply, which is great as foundation can be expensive and the reduction in amount needed by using magic blur as a primer is quite dramatic. I feel very confident on my no make up days that with just a thin layer of magic blur and a lip gloss I will need nothing else and yet my skin will still look flawless, this really is in my opinion the best blur cream on the market at this time.

Tips: Give it time, you need to let the formula settle into your skin before you rush off an start apply make up, I found this out after my first experience with it would see it not stay on my face after popping on make up, or foundation/powder caking up and generally looking messy. Just 5 seconds sitting back and letting it set makes a world of difference

Abracadabra!

Remember in the old days when you'd write with a pencil, then you'd make a mistake and have to rub it out with an eraser. More often than not (depending on the quality of the rubber) you'd still see the imprint or the faded words. This is what L'Oreal's Magic Blur reminds me of.

The moment I saw the first advertisement I knew I had to try it. A product that would blur imperfections!? Genius! So off to Farmers I went with a voucher burning a whole in my cyber pocket. It was easy to find - that fabulous red packaging, synonymous with the Revitalift range, is a total stand out amongst the more muted or classic tones of other ranges.

The next day I did my usual cleanse and moisturise then ripped into it. It's quite a large tube, although it doesn't feel full of product (perhaps the tube could be smaller?), I gave it a good squeeze and this is where I discovered the one thing about this product I don't like. It spurts and sputters all over the place! I swear my mirror often ends up with as much product on it as my face does! That aside, it comes out as quite thick and has the merest hint of pink to it and no discernible scent. Despite the thickness it applies rather easily and it was at this point that yes I noticed a difference in my skin. Smaller pores, more filled in wrinkles - it just looked better somehow. The pores and wrinkles were there, but they looked like they'd been rubbed out a bit. It also left my skin feeling velvety soft too and I must admit to doing the ultimate no-no and touching my face a fair bit throughout the day. When I used it under makeup it provided a gorgeous base and my foundation stuck around longer than usual, also there was no dryness as experienced with another 'blur' product.

L'Oreal have really pulled the rabbit out of the hat with this product and while there is a more affordable version out there (which I've tried and will review), I found that this product worked better with my combination/dry skin.

Abracadabra Alakazam! Of this product, I'm a five star fan!

Tips: Hold your hand over/around the nib as you squeeze the tube so you don't end up with product flying all over the place.

I do believe in magic

I received some samples of this in my weekly shopping so was after a couple of weeks decided I may as well give it a go. I had heard of the product but like so many other 'magic' products advertised, I was a bit dubious about the results.

Wow was I ever wrong!! You only need a small amount of product and it feels absolutely amazing going on. There was an immediate difference in my appearance, it was like I had one of those amazing Instagram filters permanently fixed in the mirror! In fact the first few times I used it, I didn't wear any more makeup, I felt confident enough without anything else.

On the days I have worn makeup over top, it's so much easier to apply and just seems to enhance everything I am definitely a believer in this magic

This is what I call a great product!!

I bought this when it first came out in stores after seeing it advertised so much. It's gotten to the stage where I need to apply this product everyday to feel fully confident in how my makeup looks! It just smooths everything out, hides Pores and any fine lines and actually feels nice on the skin unlike other primers. This keeps my makeup on all day and really does its job but at the same time keeps everything natural and feels light. I am definitely re purchasing! !!!

Tips: Only use a small amount to start- this product is very blend able and spreads easily without pulling on the skin.
