L'Oréal Magic Retouch Review

l'oreal magic retouch review

I have been looking for this root concealer for absolutely ages! They never had it in stock in several of my local Boots stores and they never had my colour in stock online either. So, when I recently went to London, I kept an eye out for it and I finally got my hands on it! To be honest, I was fairly disappointed when I saw the size of this product, it's quite a small can for £8.99. I bought it anyway as I had been wanting to try it out for ages and you never know, a little could go a super long way. 

My hair always grows extremely quickly which means I get those dreaded roots quickly too. I am naturally ginger and I have a full head of loads of blonde highlights. Luckily, the blonde and the ginger blend quite nicely when it grows out but I always leave my hair so long before I get my roots touched up again and that's when I need a miracle product to hide the contrast.

Magic retouch has a decent smell, it's very similar to the smell of hairsprays. Due to the size of the nozzle and the huge amount of product that sprays out, it is extremely hard to apply and see where you've been. Although, it is very quick at drying so you can then spray more product on once it's dry. I think it's just my ginger roots, but this didn't work for me at all. It lightened my hair a little bit but it never camouflaged my roots to blend in with the blonde. I have seen people with darker hair using it and it works amazingly for them and it also covers up their grey hairs. 

I had been using dry shampoo before I got my hands on this, not only for when it needed washing but to blend my roots in and that worked an absolute treat! And, it was also cheaper. For now, I'm sticking to using my dry shampoo as a root concealer.
Have you tried L'Oréal's magic retouch?

  1. I haven't tried this - I don't think it would work for me either as I am naturally ginger too! xx

  2. This sounds like a great product, definitely good if you can’t afford to get your roots redone all the time!

    1. I have heard mixed reviews on it. Apparently the darker ones work a lot better x

  4. That's so unfortunate that it didn't work for you. I can't say it's a product I'd be too keen to check out!

  5. Ooo this sounds intriguing but if you're sticking to dry shampoo it's probably not worth it!

    1. Aw, you have to be honest don't you. I just felt like I had to write this post up because I had been looking forward to trying it out for so long, and in the end it just disapppointed me x
