Maybelline - BB cream

Until last week I was a loyal user of the La Mer foundation, but on a sunny lunch break the Maybelline BB cream caught my attention. Well, actually is was their product design - I love the packaging! What an eye catcher, so I had to take this fellow home with me. And guess what? I love the product too (understatement - I ordered several more online the same day and converted my mom too).

It's my first BB cream so I did some research. Appartantly this "BB cream" is not like the original asian BB creams. Let's say the big players on the western market smelled big bucks and gave tinted moisturizer a new trendy name. I hope they pay their marking guys big bucks as well because it certainly does the trick. I love this product, although it's not a real BB cream.

The texture of the product is very light. I apply it with a foundation brush just because it works for me. It's no foundation so don't expect the same coverage as you would have with a foundation but it's very natural. However, if you have a lot to cover (blemishes, dark spots, redness, ...) go for the original BB creams or a foundation. My skin looks better than ever and I'm happy so I have enough with this cream. But I still going to try some different brand, like the Philosophy one I ordered yesterday, and some original asian BB creams, like Dr Jart of Skin79. For now this does the trick.


With love,
La vie en blush.
