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…
The Ojon Rare Blend Oil is something I’ve heard about in the blogosphere for the longest time. It’s been on my wishlist for well over a year now but even though I’m a self confessed hair oil lover, I just couldn’t see myself parting with £30 for one. It wasn’t until my boyfriend’s parents gave…
This year I’m making the most of the bank holiday weekend and getting the chance to go away for a few days to visit my partners parents up north. I’m pretty excited as this is the first Easter weekend in years that I’m not working (stupid working in retail) or have 100’s of uni deadlines…
Once upon a time I had really long hair, and then for some strange reason I decided to cut it short one day. Since then I’ve spent years trying to grow my hair, and then giving up and getting it cut short again. I get so bored with how I want my hair, I’ve changed…
It’s probably been forever since I’ve posted a NOTD post. In fact since May I’ve hardly worn nail varnish. I had the worlds most boring summer, where I spent the whole time at work, where I can’t wear nail varnish. The first few weeks of not being able to wear nail varnish was horrible. I…
Betrousse’s beauty boxes are something I’ve seen I’ve seen floating around in the blogosphere world, and have always looked to me like more than your average beauty box. Instead of your usual monthly box subscription, you have the option to buy a box with full sized samples in. Yes you heard me correctly, full sized…
I am forever buying new hair care products, or new shampoos to try out on my hair. It drives my poor boyfriend mad with the amount of bottles I have in our shower, all of which I need of course. I have quite dry hair, mostly because I’m a terrible person and use heat on…
