L'oreal Studio Secrets Professional smoothing resurfacing primer
Why I bought this?
We use face primers for various reasons and for me it is to make my foundation last longer,reduce the oilyness on my t-zone and redness on my cheeks and finally to have a good base for my foundation. Prior to trying this primer, I've been using the E.L.F mineral face primer(which I love) but I am always open to trying new products and couldn't resist to try this after reading a lot of good reviews.
Smell, Texture and Packaging
It might just be me but I couldn't really pin point what kind of smell it has but I know that it is very very faint if anything it's close to having no scent at all. When you first try the product it almost feels like a creamier version of hair mask but goes on smoothly on your skin. Comes in a 15 ML transparent round pot which is no bother to me but I would personally prefer a pump bottle. Bought it for £14.29 from Boots which I find to be quite dear for a drugstore primer.
Overall
Setting aside the packaging,colour etc this product goes on smoothly and doesn't feel cakey at all. I put it on after my face moisturizer and before my liquid foundation and leave it on my face for about 3 minutes before putting on my liquid foundation. I don't find that it reduces the redness on my cheeks though it doesn't really mention that it does that anyway(as per the product description on the boots website: The L'Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer has a beautifully smooth texture and is effective at disguising wrinkles and pores. It gives a matte look and a silky finish. Yes it does give a nice silky finish which I like and goes in smoothly however the only but BIG downside is I do not find that it disguises my pores as it says it does. As much as I love this product I find that it clogs my pores so when you apply the foundation, the foundation goes inside the pores making it more visible(which I never had while using my old primer). I will continue to use this pot as it does make my foundation last longer and have helped to reduce the oilyness on my t-zone however I will not be re-purchasing this. I really wanted this product to work and might not have worked for me overall but might do for you(especially if you are just after a primer for all the reasons mentioned above except minimizing pores).
