As you all probably know right now. BB creams are massive in the make up industry. I've seen no end of blog posts about ones that have been popping up lately but to be honest, none of them have taken my fancy. Most reviews claim that they're just tinted moisturisers and if you read my blog then you'll know that I like my coverage. I love medium coverage and I love full coverage even more so for me, BB creams never caught my eye. That was until I was offered one of the original BB creams that I first saw back in 2011 on Ingrid's channel. After seeing Ingrid rave about it, I couldn't say no.
Although Ingrid raved about this BB cream, I wasn't expecting much. I wasn't expecting a lot of coverage and I was expecting it to be super shiny and make me look greasy just like tinted moisturisers. So you can imagine my shock when I first applied this and got this result..
So this is my bare skin. I must apologise for how disgusting it is and yes, I have enlarged pores, spots, acne scarring and redness. It's awful and this is the reason why I love my coverage.
And this is my skin after I had applied just one coat of the BB cream. I was in complete and utter shock. It's very blendable, suits my skin tone lovely, it's definitely full coverage yet it's extremely lightweight and I can't feel that it's on. Not a lot covers my scarring but this does. It even makes my pores look smaller which foundations don't tend to do. I don't know how it's done it but it has. I've also wore it all day for work and it's lasted without budging at all and also stayed matte. I actually shed a few tears when I first saw the finished result - my skin quite frankly looked as perfect as it could get. As soon as I get my student loan, I'm buying this in full sized. I have so many foundations but I have to say, I think this is better than them all!
So a bit more information on this product; it's a triple function blemish balm cream that helps shield the skin from premature ageing as it contains SPF 25. It whitens the skin and reduces any existing lines and wrinkles. The formula is very creamy and covers up skin imperfections so that a perfect base can be created for make up. The finish is matte and it stays matte all day long without even needing powder.
