I was filled with hope leading into trying this product. I'd seen a couple of good reviews online so when I found it on special, I eagerly pounced and bought it.
Now I wish I hadn't wasted my money. To start with, it comes out of the tube like frothy whipped cream, splattering and generally looking fairly unappealing. It's as if the product has been overwhipped and it doesn't make it easy to carefully press out only a small amount.
I have to admit that it does feel nice on my skin. It's a slippery silicon-based product so my skin did feel smoother after using it, but no more so than when I use my cheap ELF primer. And unlike the ELF primer, which provides a nice smooth base for my makeup, I found that the L'Oreal product frequently balled up as I applied my usual makeup over the top and I was left with small 'shavings' of foundation or BB cream across my face. This was definitely not what I wanted.
I also failed to see any difference between my skin with the Revitalift applied and without. I definitely didn't notice any blurring or smoothing, despite trying it on half my face at a time and also asking the opinions of several trusted friends.
I'm sorry, but it did nothing for me and I certainly won't be purchasing it again.
This was $20 on sale from Countdown,and they have sales like this frequently for beauty products so would be good to keep an eye out. I love that this primer comes in a slim red tube. The packaging is sleek and I really like the amount of primer you get for the price. Below I have listed the pros and cons of this product.
Pro's -Creamy, smoothly consistency -Actually does blur my lines and pores. -Evens out skin tone. -Only a small amount needed, when I first applied this I used too much and it made my skin feel quite oily!
Cons: -I found this came out quite chunky after using a few times, so I like to shake the primer a bit before using. -I only apply over nose, cheeks and chin as I found that my eye makeup would slide a bit if I applied this all over my face. - This primer has a weird chemical like smell to it. This smell goes away once you have applied the product to your face.
Overall, this is a great primer. I have 3 primers at the moment and this is my second favourite. I really like that this primer provides a smooth base for foundation and makes application so much easier! Will definitely repurchase this.
Tips: Apply a tiny amount, this product can make you skin feel Quite oily/slippery if you use too much.
