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…
As a self confessed makeup addict, I of course have a lot of make up. There was once upon a time where I used to be able to keep my collection under control, but since I redecorated and got a dressing table, my collection has grown. It grew so much that I found myself struggling…
Okay so I lied, I couldn’t stay away from buying more nail varnish. I was weak and visited a Boots counter, discovering there was a 3 for 2 offer, so this is what I came out with… From Left to right: Rimmel London ‘Disco Ball’, Rimmel London ‘Sky High’, and Rimmel London ‘Matte Finish’. …
LUSH is somewhat famous throughout the blogging world for their bath bombs and bubble bars it seems. Until recently I’d never tried them out. I know right, where have I been? One bubble bar I often hear good things about is The Comforter. So I decided to break my bubble bar virginity with this. “This…
I’ve always loved photography ever since I was a little girl. I just loved taking photos of things, and then learning how to edit them on Photoshop, and just generally looking a good photographs other people have taken. Back when I was at college I did an A level in photography, and whilst doing it…
I never really got around to growing out of my teenage skin, and spots and breakouts are something I’ve always struggled with. I’m always on the hunt for something that can heal them up and get rid of them quickly. Something I heard raved about in the beauty world was Origins Super Spot Remover. It…
