My Makeup Chest: Miraculous BB Creams

Hello Ladies! All of you reading this will not deny, when I say that BB creams are our rescuers these days. The introduction of BB creams has definitely helped millions of women to attain that 'no make up' everyday look. BB creams can be used both as blemish balm or blemish base. If you are not interested in applying foundation daily, then this the perfect replacement. If you ask me, I use BB creams for day outs; to have even skin tone without creating any added layer on face.

There always arises a dilemma as to chose which one out of almost hundreds of available options. Every BB cream available in the market claims to have its USP. I have chosen to review three according to my preference out of those unlimited options available.

1. L'oreal True Match BB La Creme (Ivory)

L'oreal Paris is renowned globally for creating the best quality products, Their true match BB cream is one such creation. It is easily available for a price of £6 (INR 600 approx.) for 30 ml.It nearly equals any foundation in coverage and texture, cheaper in price. This is a high coverage BB cream with SPF 35. Although it does claims to provide 24 hours moisture, I still prefer to apply moisturizer/primer underneath.

2. Rimmel London BB Cream (Matte)

The cream is available in two color options fair and medium. I am reviewing the 'light' one because it blends into my skin. Ok, so this is available from starting range of £6.99 (INR 700 approx.) for 30ml. I say starting range because prices varies in countries. This cream is a beauty balm with a natural matte finish which comes with SPF 15. It claims to be 9-in-1 super make up cream. This oil free formula 1) minimizes the appearance of pores 2) evens skin tone 3) mattifies 4) controls shine all day 5) smoothes 6) soothes 7) conceals dark circles 8) helps prevent dark circles 9) gives all day coverage.

I use this cream quite often because it delivers what it says. Texture and blend-ability is good.

3. Garnier BB Skin Perfector Oil Free (Light)

Miracle Skin Perfector is a BB (Blemish Balm) which claims to combine the benefits or skincare with a light touch of make up. This is available in the market from a starting range of £6.65 (INR 665 approx.) for 40 ml. This oil free formula claims to be all in one solution for a perfect skin; it can mattify, blur pores and imperfections, evens tone and moisturizing. The coverage this cream offers is quite good. Since it is for combination to oily skin, I felt a great urge to apply moisturizer beneath. It just made my skin feel dry.
