So I decided to grab a tube of the 'miraculous' BB (or Blemish Balm) cream whilst in Topshop the other day and have actually been very impressed by it! I have previously tried the L'oreal BB cream too which I really liked, but I thought the Topshop version suited my skin tone more. It comes in 3 shades: 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 and I bought the shade 2.0 (medium).
BB cream is basically a tinted moisturizer which is designed to conceal any blemishes, colour imperfections, moisturize and prime the face before applying make-up. I really like to use this product on days when I'm not going out anywhere important or am not bothered about wearing a full face of make-up, so I just am looking for a quick even coverage ..and this is perfect! It's so easy to apply with or without a brush and it gives a very natural finish unlike some foundations. Also it smells REALLY good.. like lavendary (that's not even a word..)
Overall I am very happy with the Topshop BB cream, however I would say that for the £10 I payed (the retail price) the bottle is fairly small. Despite this, little is needed for an even coverage :) I do know that there is also a Rimmel BB cream on offer for the retail price of £6.99 which is slightly cheaper, but I think the Topshop version is well worth the price! :)
Love, Lottie xo
