Hello! I hope you are all having a wonderful day and enjoying the little bit of sun we finally have in the UK! You may have seen my recent review on the Deborah Milano Mascara* which I absolutely love. I was also kindly sent the BB Cream 5 in 1* to try and I am going to be reviewing that for you today!
If you have read my latest review then you will know that on a daily basis I tend to go for foundations which I can build up to a higher coverage, so I wasn't really sure when I would use the BB Cream. It took me a little while to get round to using it as I always wanted something with a higher coverage. I finally tried it though and have been wearing it a lot since!
I use my Real Techniques Buffing brush to apply this! The texture is extremely light and it almost feels like water is being buffed into my skin. The consistency isn't too runny or watery at all though, it's just quite thin and feels very hydrating.
As I'm buffing it in, it really doesn't look as though it is providing my skin with much coverage. It just disappears into the skin leaving it looking extremely evened out, flawless and radiant. The coverage is definitely slightly buildable though, but not very much.
This is called a 5 in 1 product as it claims to prime skin, conceal, even out skin tone, moisturise and protect skin. As for priming skin, I actually still use my Laura Mercier primer because I know that just works for me. I can honestly say it does everything else though. I have never used a product before that evens out my skin tone so much whilst still looking so natural as if I don't have any makeup on. My skin definitely feels hydrated when I use this as the texture is so light and moisturising. The cherry on top of the cake is that this contains an SPF 20 so will protect my skin!
Overall I am in love with this BB Cream! I have been using it a lot since I first tried it as it just leaves my skin looking flawless but incredibly natural. I never thought I would enjoy using a BB Cream so much as I do tend to go for full coverage foundations, however this is a fantastic product! I have the colour 00, Fair Rose which is a perfect match for me. I have never found something that matches my skin tone absolutely perfectly - it is basically my skin tone in a bottle, however strange that sounds! :)
This BB Cream is available here for £9.95.
Have you tried any BB creams? I would love to know if there are any you like!

That sounds absolutely brilliant! I'm glad to hear about a BB Cream that matches fair skin tones, as I'm very pale and never find anything suitable. The price is reasonable, as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the super helpful review! xx
