All hail the BB Cream

Skeptical as I was about introducing something new into my daily beauty routine there was something about BB cream that made me want to try it out. Whether it was the great ads or it's boastful claims I was eager to try it out. It really hasn't disappointed me. I used to wear foundation every day but have swapped it over to BB cream instead. It covers, it's smooth, it makes my skin appear flawless whilst still looking natural. Somewhat like a tinted moisturiser however it boasts beneficial 

Although BB cream seems like quite a recent thing in the cosmetic department it was actually formulated in the 1960's and has been very popular in the Korean and East Asian markets especially because BB creams targeted in those regions contain skin whitening elements. Fast forward a couple of decades and now every brand has its own BB cream leaving you wondering which one you should invest in.

That's where I come in. I've become a little obsessed with it that I have tried and tested quite a few. Save yourself the hassle and try these brands out first. You won't regret it!

Loreal Nude Magique 

This was the first BB cream I tried. When it comes out you'll be sitting there going.....wth? Coming out in a blue bead like texture it quickly turns into a skin colour which conforms to your colour as soon as you start rubbing it in. It did leave my skin a little shiny but add some powder and you're good to go! 
$26.95 AUD from Priceline

Rimmel 9 in 1

With this one a little goes a long way! You only need to apply a very small amount. It has great coverage and really makes my skin feel and look amazing. It also lasts a really long time! For extra coverage I usually apply with some undereye concealer and red reducing concealer around my nose with some extra powder to set it in.  $12.95AUD from Priceline.

Maybelline Dream Fresh

Leaves your skin glowing, feeling great and looking even better! Covers like a foundation without feeling like one. It's like and feels more like a moisturizer. I'm in love...

$15.95 AUD from Priceline.

There are so many others I can't wait to try and as soon as you do, you'll know about it!

For now give one of these ago and let me know how you feel and what you think!
