The whole gamut of L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets products launched in Europe last year but poor auld Ireland got forgotten about - or maybe it was a canny move: the brand here didn't take the line in (update: but Boots do stock it!), but waited to see what'd perform elsewhere. So, now that they know, they've decided to kick off the Irish experience with Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer.
Incoming in September, it'll cost €19.95 for a 15ml pot of pale pink, siliconey goodness. This is very similar to lots of silicone-based primers like Gosh and Smashbox's offerings, but the difference is it's more balm-like in texture as opposed to a thick liquid. So, you could easily compare this to Clarins Instant Smooth Perfect Touch.
The net result's the same - these sort of products are designed to give a nice smooth base for makeup, blurring out fine lines and pores and helping foundation to sit well and last all day. A pic of the texture of the product is after the cut, and I know we'll have a few commenters who've already tried it - what did you think? Leave us your thoughts!

Psst: we may also be getting some of the brush foundations from this line in short order too.
