No more bb's for me

I've been told that CC creams are exactly the same as bb creams and should waste my money when I already have bb creams. Errrrr Wrong!

Firstly, I found the CC cream had much more substance than bb creams I have and secondly, provided much more coverage than I have gotten from bb creams.

This cream felt so luxurious on my face and I feel the nourishing effect on my skin while wearing it. I use it under mineral powder as I have acne and acne scaring so I need lots of coverage.

This cream really didnt feel like a makeup but like a skincare product that perfectly complimented my foundation. This is now a permanent feature in my handbag and will be until I find the next best cream ;)

Bree I have lots of dark acne spots thats why I have to use a mineral over it but my lighter acne spots seemed to have disappeared. So my verdict is yes, it does provide coverage as would a foundation if my acne scars are anything to go by :)

This sounds amazing! I am quite spotty so im interested to know how it looked without the mineral powder? Did it still provide some coverage alone?

Max Factor CC Cream

I was really looking forward to giving this product a go due to the fact that I had tried the BB creams.

Depending on what your needs/concerns are the differences aren't huge between the BB creams & CC creams, in my opinion.

I really like the CC cream, I choose Medium colour, which may have been a tad to dark for me (but still workable) just didnt go as heavy handed with the product next time I used it.

I found this gave more a light foundation coverage, which you could build on if you wanted a heavy coverage throughout the day. It definitely concealed the redness on my cheeks, which I was mainly wanting, lasting power was good & naturalness of the product great. It felt lovely & smooth on my skin.

Talk about a little goes a long way, this sure does. I was a little heavy handed at first, but have toned it down & really happy with how this product peforms. A whole lot of happiness with this product, would buy again & a great price bracket. Thanks BR for the opp to trial this :-)

Tips: If Max Factor could add some illuminator to this product, I reckon it would be the beauty MUST HAVE in you bathroom.

Bye bye BB, Hello CC

As a regular user of BB cream I was very interested in trying the next big thing - CC cream. I got the shade fair which was perfect for me. It glides on your skin really smoothly and leaves a silky finish. It provides enough coverage to wear when you don't want to put on a full face of makeup and foundation. I just set it with translucent power and it lasts well for the day. The only thing it's lacking for me is a higher SPF. Overall I will purchase this CC cream again and I definitely prefer it over BB cream.

Tips: You only need to use a small amount each time as it goes far.

CC Cream Freshness

This is the first CC Cream i have tried (or BB cream for that fact!) It is so light and refreshing, with the combination of cucumber water and rosehip extracts the moment you apply to your face you instantaneously feel refreshed and re-energised. there is a light fragrance of the cucumber water which i really enjoyed. it most definitely gave me great coverage and blended away my red cheeks. like all 'foundations' i squirt a little onto the back of my hand and then apply, what i was really impressed was, after doing this the back of my hand looked flawless and felt amazing!! although i really love this product i felt like i still needed a little more from it. For everyday use i give this a definite thumbs up but think that when i go out i will need a little more.

Tips: Rub it between your fingers before you apply, i read that it goes on a lot nicer when it is warm, and i found this to be true!!

I have tried having a look online to find out if it is oil free but have not had any luck, as my product didnt come with any packaging i cant look there either. It does have glycerin, which naturally absorbs water from the air, which is a major plus!

Max Factor CC cream

At a first glance i thought this is a tiny tube and would not last long at all BUT.. when i put a tiny bit in my hand and on to my face i couldn't believe the coverage i got from so little product, I always use my fingers to apply my foundation but this product looks so much better (for me) with the use of a foundation brush, Its a great day look so light to wear covered my redness and freckles perfectly i love the way it looks on my face and will continue to use and purchase again, Thank you BR for letting me trial i love it!!

Tips: only use a small amount it's crazy how a little goes a long way with this product :)

I have trouble with concealing my high check colour, and this product sounds like it may be just the thing to help minimise it. I will be defiantly giving this one a go.

A Love Hate Relationship

On hearing about Farmers' introductory special I ran out and bought the Max Factor CC Cream.

The lady at the beauty counter helped me to choose the right shade for my skin (there are only three shades to choose from but I didn't want to get the wrong one). The light shade (which I went with) is more of a pinky tone, where as the medium shade tends towards the orangey.

On application I was really quite worried that it was too pale on my skin but as time went on it began to look more natural. It has excellent coverage and covers my blemishes/redness well, in that regard it surpasses my beloved Garnier BB Cream. However I've found it to be quite drying on my skin, even when used with a moisturiser first and I really don't like the way it smells. (I'd love to explain the aroma but I just can't find the words, nana-ry but in a bad way?)

I'll continue to use it on the days when I require more coverage but I think that once it's run out I'll be trying another brand of CC Cream.

Good review - I especially like the bit about the smell - I don't like any creams you put on your face to smell so might give this brand a miss.

I would say CC Cream - because I like the coverage it gives.

better version of bb cream

The cc cream is a better version of the bb cream. I think it works great as a lught foundation during the day and also as a primer to go under foundation for a thicker/longer lasting coverage at night. Smooths imperfections without drying out the skin. Excellent product

IN LOVE! <3

I at first thought by picking the fair colouring I had gone too light (I put it on very early this morning) so I chucked a dusting of bronzer over the top, and a bit of lip balm and that was it.. I was very impressed when in natural light looking at my skin, and through out the day I was even happier. This is so nice and light to wear, its a dream on my dry/red skin, it covers just enough and makes your skin look bright and flawless. Honestly, for a barely there 'born with it' makeup look you need to try this product. For $20 on special at farmers its worth it. Im a light skinned tone with a bit of colour due to freckles and the fair colouring was good on me with bronzer.

Tips: Apply with fingers, a little goes a long way. I applied it to my entire face.

It's official...my MAC Foundation is retired!

Ok so i'm a sucker for hype so when I read about CC creams I was keen to try them out and was too impatient to wait for the reviews on BR to appear.

They appear to come in about 3-4 shades only from fair to dark. I've given shade "60" medium a whirl.

First thing that struck me was that the tube is not that big, 30ml. But to be fair i've been using powder foundation with a brush for the last few years so it's probably on parr with other liquid foundation sizes.

It contains SPF 10 which is probably better than nothing but I don't know why they bothered with it as it really doesn't add anything to the product and if you were spending time outside you'd certainly put on a specific sunscreen with a higher SPF.

BB creams to me were more like moisturiser with a hint of colour, but this is definitely more "foundation like" comes out the tube like a foundation, goes on like a foundation.

I've got to say I LOVE it. I really use foundation to even out my skin tone and this does it all, I thought my skin looked refreshed and glowing with it on and it lasted all day.

My MAC 65 has now been officially retired and it's CC for me all the way..until I guess DD cream comes up...

Tips: Apparently Farmers has it on an intro offer for $20 right now...if you didn't make the BR trial team get yourself down there and bag a tube now!

How did you find the colour? Was it a good match? I'm just unsure as to whether I am a 'fair' or a 'medium' in this brand...
