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 other day I was wondering around Boots looking at the makeup like I usually do, when something caught my eye. The new 17 Peepshow Mascara stood out to me with its cute pink packaging, and then I saw you got a free Eye Palette with the purchase as well as £1 off, and well…
On the 23rd April my little space on the internet will turn 4! To celebrate my little blog growing up I wanted to run a little giveaway. As I started my blog based on my love of makeup, I thought it would be fitting to giveaway a box of makeup goodies! I’ve been picking up…
Hi Lovelies! It’s that time again to share my monthly favourites with you! And for once were not too late into the month (I swear one day I will get one of these filmed and up actually at the beginning of the month!) It’s been a busy month back at uni, but I think I’m…
Today’s been a pretty simple day, especially as I’m still on the job hunt. So I didn’t really do much for today’s FOTD post as I’ve just been around the house cleaning on the promise of a little money from the parents! I redyed my hair red last night, so its a little bright than…
I’ve always loved looking at other bloggers ‘perfume collection’ type posts, and I’d love to do one myself but truth be told I only ever have one or two bottles on the go. I seem to have a eye (or nose) for expensive types of perfume, so I can never afford to have a collection….
