I never really caught on to the BB Cream hype when it first came around. I was a high coverage foundation type of girl. I ended up trying a sample of the Garnier one everyone raved about, but found there wasn’t enough coverage for me and didn’t like how my skin looked. I also found it look a bit ‘greasy’ on my skin. I was then sworn off BB creams, deciding that they just weren’t right for my skin. These days I’ve learnt a lot more about skin care, and I’ve got a proper skin care routine, which has definitely seen an improvement in my skin. Now I’m feeling a bit more confident about my skin, I decided to try out a BB cream again.
The Body Shop Vitamin E has always been a favourite of mine so when I saw that they were doing a BB cream I knew I had to have it. I never really understood BB creams, to me they always seemed like a tinted moisturiser. It’s only when I was in The Body Shop and got a chance to try out a tester of this BB cream that I discovered how well the coverage actually was. It gives my skin the right sort of coverage, without being too thick to clog up my skin.
As I’m currently unemployed I’ve been using this most days as I’m not leaving the house so much, but I don’t feel confident enough to be make up free. It works well for me coverage wise, but I can see why some people don’t like it in comparison to foundations. If you’re not confident with how your skin looks, then this probably isn’t for you.
I’m glad I got around to trying out another BB cream and didn’t let my past BB cream experiences put me off. I’ve been using this religiously for a while now, and who knows, maybe next I’ll venture into the world of CC creams…

Hi there girlies! As many of you know I am a self confessed nail varnish addict. I love the stuff, I now have 56 bottles in my collection so I’m just ever so slightly addicted. Well lately I’ve started a job where I can’t wear nail varnish – absolute horror for someone who’s addicted….
In my dressing table I have three compartments, one for face products, one for eye products, and one for lip products. Recently I noticed the one for lip products was getting a little full, so decided to give it bit of a clear out when I realised why it seemed so full, I own far…
Recently I’ve been toying with the idea of using fake tan. I’m a complete fake tan virgin – I’ve never ever touched the stuff. I’m very pale and try desperately at every chance of sunlight to get a tan, but alas I just turn a bit pink or burn. So because of this I have…
