I never thought I would see the day that I would give up foundation to go with a BB cream! Shock horror I know!!! I got this little ray of sunshine from the last beauty vault as a spur of the moment decision.
I was intrigued by the fact that it appears as a cream but once rubbed in to my skin it matches my skin tone perfectly. In its wake it leaves a subtle glow that makes my skin look radiant and fresh without looking overdone. I have to admit I love the fact that it feels effortless to apply and that it feels like I am wearing no makeup at all. I just dab on a small amount at each cheek and on my forehead and rub it in with my fingers. It is actually that easy with no fuss or having to blend. I half expected it to leave my skin greasy and slightly shiny or streaky. But it did neither of these. My skin drank it in gratefully and just left me with a very soft glow.
The amount you get for the small price you pay is great. I have had mine for at least 3 months now and am only just getting to the point of where I need to purchase a new tube. That is value for money in abundance right there. This is even after using it everyday. If that were not enough I have noticed a difference in my skin quality too. I used to suffer from dry cheeks, especially during the milking season when my face was exposed to wind and rain along with cow poop. My skin is now feeling super hydrated and less dull.
If you are a person who likes to wear lightweight makeup without the fuss and without the big budget; I highly recommend this BB cream. Like I said above it has converted me from being a foundation wearer everyday to being only a BB cream wearer and still feeling confident. You won't be disappointed.
I got this BB cream in a BBBE (I think) but didn't take any notice of it until I happened to notice the advert on TV and thought, "hmmm, so that's what it does?". So then I dug it out and started using it.
The product comes in a simple plastic tube. It is a thick white cream, which is surprising in itself. Once applied to skin, it changes colour to look like a normal BB cream or foundation. So it does this quite well, except that is looks streaky and needs a close up mirror and a lot of blending to make sure it's even. That's still fine, but I notice it's quite orange which is odd on my very pale skin. It comes off looking a bit like fake tan in the end. My friends did comment that it looks fresh and bright though. I did notice it doesn't cover imperfections, so works better with a CC cream underneath.
I has a nice subtle scent, which doesn't really matter in a BB cream, but better that than a horrid smell!
I don't think I'll purchase it again, mainly because of the streaking and the orange glow.
Tips: Use a CC cream under it.
