Kiehls –

Micro Blur Skin Protector

It really seems that blur products are big business at the moment and the latest launch from Kiehl’s provides instant blurring and skin perfecting effects along with skincare benefits over time.

The line from Kiehl’s is that this is a lightweight, satin finish skin-perfecting formula that combines an instant blurring effect with long-lasting, visible skincare results. It contains: Lipo Hydroxy Acid, Lentil Extract and Bark Extract. These promise to refine the appearance of pores and improve the texture of skin over time, which I think it pretty interesting for an instant blur product. Kiehl’s advise using this as the last step in your skin care routine day and night (after sunscreen, or BB cream, should you use it, for day).

When applied it softly mattifies (?) and it greatly diminishes the appearance of pores and evens out skin texture. It works really nicely under foundation and the finish is very natural and not over made-up which is sometimes the case with primers.

It does contain silicone, which accounts for how beautifully it glides on to the skin, but it is incredibly lightweight and doesn’t have the heavy feel that some blurring products have at all. This is a big thumbs up from me – it’s a fabulous makeup primer and I love the fact that it can deliver skin improvement over time.

Overall, its really become my new favorite. However, The Body Shop have also just released a blur primer, which has also been receiving some amazing reviews, so I may have to take a look at that as well and compare the two.
