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!
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
