When the folks at O, The Oprah Magazine contacted me and asked if I'd like to test and review a beauty product, I was game but curious about what I'd be sent. I received a full-size sample of the product above a few weeks ago, and was immediately intrigued. As a multi-tasker myself, I'm always on the lookout for products that perform multiple functions to save steps in my skincare/beauty routines.
L'Oréal Revitalift Miracle Blur
claims to smooth wrinkles, lines and pores, and provide SPF protection. I'd classify its functions as filler, primer and sunscreen. I've been using this product regularly since receiving it, and have the following impressions.On its own: the silicone-based product is thick when it comes out of the tube, but glides on smoothly. I suspect that contact with warm skin softens it a bit. A small amount is all you need. It definitely smooths over pores and fine lines, and on it's own has a mattifying effect, which might be good for those with oily skin or areas. I don't find that it particularly evens out skin tone or blotchiness. It contains no tint.
Under foundation/makeup: Miracle Blur is brilliant here! I've mostly been unimpressed with expensive primers, but really do like how beautifully a tinted moisturizer or foundation goes on over this stuff. No settling in pores or lines, no streaks when applied with a brush. And makeup does tend to stay put and I notice less shine coming through on my nose after a few hours.
As a sunscreen: the SPF seems to be mostly chemical-based (avobenzone and other ingredients) rather than a barrier sunscreen such as titanium dioxide, so worn alone as a sunscreen it would need to be reapplied every couple of hours during extended sun exposure (as the package instructions indicate). But if you're planning an indoor day, and especially if you layer multiple products containing some SPF, this could probably take the place of your 30 SPF step.
Overall: I think this does a better job as a filler/primer than the more expensive products I've tried, and with the added bonus of 30 SPF.

I'd like to try it!
ReplyDeleteBeing A woman of a Certain Age..... L'Oréal Revitalift Miracle Blur sounds like it might just be something I could use!
ReplyDeleteThanks for trying the product, and for offering it to your readers!

I'd love to try this! I'm a fan of L'Oreal products, and I use a couple of their other primers, but this sounds particularly good for me because of my slightly oily skin and because of the sunscreen.
ReplyDeleteCount me in. Need to blur some things. Sounds like good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely like to try it!
ReplyDeleteLove to try it.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! I need all the help I can get! ;)
ReplyDeleteI've only recently begun trying makeup primers. I was given a sample of a Guerlain product and THINK I can see a difference when using it. I would love to try this one as well. Sunscreen is a product we ALL need to use daily.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to blur quite a lot but I bet it won't work on bad memories ;) I like L'Oreal as a brand and if you say this works, I'd love to give it a try. I'm especially impressed that it has SPF30 and can be used w/o having to use foundation. Great for everyday with a bit of mascara, brow grooming and some good lipstick!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try it as well, thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI've been searching for a nice primer and have been intrigued by this products claims. I’d love to try it out.
ReplyDeleteSunscreen and filling in lines and pores sounds great. Count me in.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try their new primer since I just sampled the LaRoche Posay primer (with SPF 50), and would like to compare the two to see which one I prefer. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have been hearing a lot about this product, and would love to give it a go. Need something to help with pore minimization and line filling. Thanks for the chance....Anna annagrammo at gmail
ReplyDeleteI would like to try it. I haven't seen it in stores and yesterday, ironically, I bought another L'Oreal product...night cream and I forget the name. So far, am not thrilled. I have oily skin which, at 61, serves me well. Never thought I'd say that but oily skin doesn't line as quickly and believe me, I spent the better part of my youth at the beach.
ReplyDeleteSo YES. Pick me! :)
I'd love to try it, I need a few things blurred. Just turned 43, and realizing soap, water and cheap moisturizer are just not cutting it anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'd be game to try this, too. My current primer is lovely but horribly expensive...
ReplyDeleteGood morning :)
ReplyDeleteI just saw this in stores and thought it looked really cool! I would love to try the L'Oréal Revitalift Miracle Blur because I am also a woman of a certain age (a proud 41!)and love the idea of a primer and sunscreen (spf 30! Yay!)in one easy step!
Thank you for the opportunity.
Cheers, Lisa
Lovely giveaway, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just saw this in store recently and thought it looked awesome! I would love to try the L'Oréal Revitalift Miracle Blur because as a women of a certain age (proud 41!), I love the idea of a primer/filler and sunscreen (spf 30! Yay!)in one convenient product! It would definitely make life for this working mom a lot easier.
Thanks for the opportunity.
Cheers, Lisa
I've spent too much money on expensive brands with little satisfaction. I would love to try this product!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love a multi-tasking product! I would love to test this product and receive one of your samples! Thanks for adding me to the list!
ReplyDeleteThis product intrigues me, too! I've noticed sample displays at various stores I have visited recently but they're always empty. After reading excellent reviews, including yours, by women with maturing skin I'm convinced I'd love to try it! Thank you for your assessment and for your lovely blog. Its a favorite! :-)
ReplyDeleteOoh sounds good. Sadly, I'm in the UK - maybe you could send it to my brother in NYC?
ReplyDeleteBlurring sounds good to me. I always like the way my face looks in the mirror after makeup but before I put on my glasses, softly blurred. With any luck that will be the effect this will have, would love to try it.
ReplyDeleteIt's all a blur... and I like it that way! Yes, please!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this product. I often like the items I have bought from the L'Oreal brand. I always appreciate your insights and recommendations, that is why I follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this product. I've been blessed (yes, blessed) with oily skin so even at age 55 the only wrinkles I'm seeing are around my eyes. Foundation or coverup just seems to fall right in and only emphasizes them. I think this product may be very helpful without drawing attention to my less appealing bits.
ReplyDeletewhy certainly I'd like to give this product a try, as I'm always willing to improve my skin care efforts.
ReplyDeleteI know I follow you on Facebook, not sure if this is what you mean by "follow the blog"?
I'm not a fan of heavy foundation, but a primer would be aces under my pressed powder!
ReplyDeleteMy skin could use a lift so I would like to try this product.
ReplyDeleteLove to try this product and thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteE.
Would love to try this product....thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeing a woman of un certain age ... I would love to try this. Anything beats surgery. Thank you for the draw.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this stuff in the wild at CVS yesterday -- $25 a pop! Wowzers.
ReplyDeleteJust converted from Boots No. 7 to L'Oreal skin care products and saw my first TV commercial for Blur last night. After reading your comment about how nice this is under tinted moisturizer I am always happy to replace a more expensive product with a lower cost one that is just as good!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed just by your review. I would love to try this product. I have terribly oily skin and large pores, and finding any product that would help reduce shine or result in less settling of my light foundation in my pores would be lovely. I wonder what L'Oreal says about this product for people with adult acne or acne rosacea? We're a tough skin crowd!
ReplyDeleteLove that just a smidge is needed. I NEED to find a less expensive alternative to the primer I'm currently using. And this has spf as well. Superb!
ReplyDeleteI almost bought Laura Mercier's Foundation Primer, but walked away (such willpower!) when I saw the price. This sounds even better - plaese enter me for a try
ReplyDeleteSeems that this would be ideal for aging skin, freckles...me, in other words! Would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have been using a tinted moisturizer for years and love it. Would love to try Bur. PLease enter my name. Merci!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for something new, and this sounds pretty darn good!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the perfect item for my 46 year old skin!
ReplyDeleteI'm following (Wanda)
Ooh me me me! I was intrigued when you said it mattifies on its own, and then really interested when you said it prevents breakthrough shine!
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for a great primer and have not found one yet. Your comments make this new Loreal product definitely worth trying.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being contacted by the magazine. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds ideal. I haven't found a primer/filler that I really like, and I've tried lots, with various degrees of success. I wonder if putting a sunblock UNDER this would work? Please enter me!

At 63, I have found primers invaluable, but have only used Laura Mercier ( not thick enough), a product called Spackle by Laura Geller and Smashbox, which I currently use and love. I recently bought a drug store serum and was pleasantly surprised by the quality which rivaled my previous Trish McEvoy serum and cost umpteen dollars less. Would love to be surprised by a new, less expensive primer that would work for me.
ReplyDeleteI recently started using L'Oreal shampoo & conditioner after years of spending a fortune on other more expensive brands,and really like them.I would love to try the face product. The blurring effect sounds perfect :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a product that would reduce the appearance of pores. I would love to try this product from L'Oréal Paris!
ReplyDeleteI am going to look for this tomorrow Susan... sounds pretty good... :) xv
ReplyDeleteI've never had much luck with primer and would love to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI always use Lóreal and I love it.
ReplyDeleteI tried the Olay version and it is also very good; although I have to compare prices.
Happy Valentine´s day, dear friend
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Would really like to try this product. Thanks, Laura
ReplyDeleteI'd like this (I need this?) because... "on it's own has a mattifying effect, which might be good for those with oily skin..."
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
I would love to try this product. As an ice dancer of a certain age I try not to be the granny on the ice and as a mother of the bride in May a little smoothing for the photos would be lovely
ReplyDeletePamela

ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear your review . . . when you are ::ahem:: a certain age, it's hard to know what products actually WORK. I'd love to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteGood to read the review. My son recently told me that I'm "aging". Oy, not what I wanted to hear!...am now looking at products that might help with that appearance. Please enter me!
ReplyDeleteI don't like to fuss with foundation, so I'd like to give this a try to fill in my pores and mattify my skin!
ReplyDeleteI would love to give this a try. Thanks for your review.
ReplyDeleteCount me in, please. I follow your blog. Love the product name-makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this, based on your comments about how well it works under foundation. Thanks!
