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…
I recently posted about my new nail varnish purchases, one of which was Rimmel London’s ‘Disco Ball’. I was eager to try this one out! And this was the outcome of my new polish (please excuse my messy nails! I was in a rush!). I think the name ‘Disco Ball’ definitely suits this nail varnish, as it…
I was so gutted when I missed out on the British Beauty Blogger Edit Box made by none other than Jane the British Beauty Blogger herself. I was so annoyed at myself for not staying up to date with blogging world as this is something that I would have loved to get my hands on….
You may have seen lately that I’m on bit of a weightloss mission. After years of being unhappy about how I looked I decided it was time to do something about it, and work towards getting the body I wanted. Of course I’m going about it all the right way, with diet and exercise, but sometimes…

Lee Stafford is a brand I’ve loved over the past couple of years. The products smell amazing, they work wonders, and the packaging is pink – what is there not to love? I’m normally loyal and stick to my Hair Growth Treatment range, but on a recent trip to boots I decided to check out the…
Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year, I just love everything about it, minus the Christmas shopping. It’s not that I hate Christmas shopping, I just never know what to get people. I particularly struggle with the men in my life. Having to shop for my dad, brother and other half, all of…
