Recently I had a slight disaster with my skin and it seemed as if explosions had gone off on my face - not a look popular with many girls I'm sure. So with this in mind I, uncharacteristically, made the decision to invest in the hype surrounding some of L'Oreal's new Skin Perfection range along with their older but much raved about Nude Magique CC Cream hoping they would bring me skin salvation. So here are my thoughts on the three products I bought...
The Cleansing & Perfecting Milk
After a number of weeks of using this cleanser I really have no complaints. The formula is, as it says on the tin, of a milk consistency and removes my makeup very well. I was worried that since it had slight scent to it that the formula would irritate my eyes and sensitive skin however this was surprisingly soft and gentle around my eyes and on my face. After a couple of days I do have to say the abominations on my cheeks were clearing up and the redness was greatly reduced, my skin wasn't ''perfection'' but it was certainly getting there. I would definitely recommend!
The Magic Touch Instant Blur
This product is also a very nice one. I'm actually very surprised at how happy I am with the results of this range, considering I'm a great sceptic when it comes to ''miracle'' skin products. The idea with this is that you apply it to your face before applying makeup and it essentially is meant to perfect your complexion. I absolutely love how thick this product is because it really makes me feel like my craters of pores are being effectively eliminated and the texture gives your skin that fresh powdered feel, which I much prefer to sticky and shiny. The overall effect is shine free, crater filled soft supple skin...very nice. My only qualm with this is that I don't feel it lasts but that could be due to the way I use it or the makeup I wear on top, who knows. I have not tried the other products in the range however given the success of these two I would really love to give them a go at some point.

The Nude Magique CC Cream - Anti-Redness
So in short...this is basically my new favourite thing. It's not the best product I have ever tried but it definitely fills a niche in my foundation routine that desperately needed filled. I have redness concentrated on the lower sections of my cheek area and therefore I concentrate foundation coverage there, however, this method never looked as flawless as I would really wanted it to be but I just settled with it because I had no clue how to sort a problem like that. Initially I used this CC Cream alone, like you're supposed to however the redness on my cheeks still annoyingly shone through, so I tried using the cream on top of my foundation, only applying the foundation to my red areas. The result of this was skin that was one colour, finally!! And I thought it was such a simple ask of the world!
