This crazy little invention from L'Oreal looks just like a miniature paint roller, and that's essentially what it is. A block of foundation comes with its own applicator which rolls over the face to provide a 'smooth finish'.
I was a little sceptical about this one, because it's such an obvious gimmick. Also, I worry that I'll lose the 'roller'. But in need of something to replace my trust body shop foundation (I just love the consistency of it) I decided to give this one a fair trial.
Read on over the jump for my verdict
Using the roller turned out to be a fun, if slightly fiddly, experience. I found that once I'd covered it in enough of the foundation to start 'painting' it was a quicker way to apply foundation than most other methods, and the finish was nice and even since the pressure and coverage remains the same wherever it rolls.
However, I did find that I gave up on the roller when I got close to the less smooth parts of my face - notably my eyes, nose, hairline and around the mouth.
In terms of coverage, this is a good product as it keeps everything lovely and even. But I found the foundation itself to be a little thin and in general, I'd suggest sticking to your favourite brand and applying it via the traditional method.
