Review - L'oreal Miracle Blur

Hello!

It's back to beauty blogging today with L'Oreal's Miracle Blur!  I received this sample in one of the magazine's I read:

 

 

L'Oreal's website describes it as: " What Is Miracle Blur? It’s NOT a moisturizer, NOT a foundation, MORE than a primer; it’s the first of-its-kind Instant Skin Smoother.

What Does It Do?
Miracle Blur instantly erases the look of lines, wrinkles, and pores. Skin instantly looks and feels smooth, leaving a velvet soft matte finish that lasts all day.

When Should I Use It?
Miracle Blur should be applied daily after moisturizing as the final step in every woman’s skincare routine. Wear alone for a matte finish, or wear under makeup for smoother application and wear."

 

As this is a "revitalift" product their target demographic is most likely 35-55 (I'm 34).  The before and after pictures they show are pretty impressive. 

 

 

The texture is very much like a thick primer with lots of silica in it.  It has that weird soft feel.  I used about the size of a dime on my face, and applied it as suggested after I washed my face and put on moisturizer.  Do I look like an amazing before and after?

 

 

NO!  I look Exactly the same.  Except on the right I have a dime size of primer like goo on my face.  It was 80 degrees and sunny on the day I tried this and I wore it while running errands.  It made my face feel so slimy I had to wash it off 3 hours after I put it on.  I can see it faring better in the winter.  I also can see how some one with a lot of fine lines might like this as a primer, but as you put your moisturizer underneath and I am assuming your foundation over - it's a lot to wear.  I was really hoping for results like they show in the pictures with just softened features, but I can definitely find a better way to spend $24.99!

 

Have you tried Miracle Blur?
