I picked up the L’Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer (what is it with these products and long names?!) quite a while a go, I think maybe December or something but never really got on well with it. However, I tried it again a few weeks ago and instantly loved it, funny how that happens, eh?

It is quite a small pot for the price, but you do tend to only need a small amount for your face as it spreads thinly quite easily. The primer is a strange texture, quite hard to describe, but from what I can tell it’s your typical primer texture.

As I said, this goes on nicely and doesn’t make your skin feel too oily or slippery which were my initial concerns and it works. It most definitely works. In this recent hot weather, this primer has been a god-send, helping my makeup last all day, helping me feel confident and not having to worry about dashing to the loo to top up my face! I did notice that it evened out my skintone a little bit but as that’s not my main use, I wasn’t too fussed about whether it intiallys makes much difference or not.
