We Love Fridays: BB Cream Round Up

Posted by Alexandra C. | Friday April 13, 2012

We first spoke about BB creams last summer, and since then these all-in-one wonders have gone from cult fave to a must-have in any chick's makeup bag. BB creams originated in Asia and have been popular there for a while, but they've only recently come to North America.

We did a bit of BB beauty research and we've got to say, we're liking this trend! We love that BB creams are a lighter alternative to a foundation. They're tone correcting, brightening and give nice, even coverage on your face. In fact, for a day when you'll be out and about and don't want anything weighing you down, may we suggest skipping the foundation and concealer routine and going for a natural, bright, BB cream look?

1. Estee Lauder DayWear BB Cream (US$38.00)
2. Clinique Age Defense BB Cream (C$37.00)
3. The Face Shop Face It Shimmering BB Cream (US$13.50)
4. Skin79 Super+ BB Cream Triple Function (US$8.99)
5. Marcelle BB Cream (C$22.95)

One of the best features of BB creams is that most contain either an SPF, serum or are specially formulated for a specific skin type. Got combination, dry, acne prone or mature skin? They've got you covered!

1. Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream (C$50.00)
2. Vichy NeoVadiol Lumiere BB Cream (C$44.00)
3. Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream (US$9.99)
4. Stila Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Beauty Balm (C$49.00)
5. Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream (US$19.79)
6. SkinFood Red Bean BB Cream (US$14.99)

Have you tried BB creams yet? Which is your favourite?

I got a sample first, light, which was a little too light for me, but at least it gave me an idea of what the product is like. You get amazing coverage with just a little product and it really does seem to diminish the look of flaws. I have rosacea and on a recent trip to my doctor he said it looked like it was clearing up. I was surprised because I'd just had a few bumps break out on my cheek and then I realized it was because of the BB cream! LOL Other than the rosacea, I also have combination skin and also have to use a little translucent powder on my oily spots. I also blot my whole face with a tissue (just lay it over my face and press gently) to pick up any excess product, before the powder. I will definitely be buying this again, and may forget about using foundation altogether. Although, they do say you can use it as a primer if you like. :)

I recieved a free sample but have not yet try it. Perhaps this weekend. I love the idea that its all-in-one. Definitely going to give one of these a try.
	on April 13, 2012 takoda 28,648 said: Yes I have the Garnier BB Cream and I love it. I already did a review for it. There is one thing I have noticed more since I've bin using longer. I have combo skin and after applying this cream I seem to have a bit of a shine. So I just lightly brush on some translucent power where I need it and I'm good to go. I've bin using it as my foundation because with it on you really don't need a foundation on top of it. Any of these BB Creams would be great for any woman especially for summer.
