Hello Everyone!!!
One of my most popular blog posts is the "No7 Foundation Review" so I thought I would create another blog post about the new 'All-In-One' BB cream from The Body Shop.
I recently splurged out on a huge amount of products from The Body Shop as they had a 50% sale on and I thought I would get all my Christmas shopping done in there (I spent £50 but everything I got altogether was worth £100!). Anyways, I got loads of presents for family and friends from there Christmas range (which will be coming up soon in a YouTube video) but I also got a couple of bits for myself.
I decided to buy this BB Cream because loads of people on YouTube have been using it and they say it's amazing and my skin isn't that bad at the moment so I felt I didn't really need to be using a foundation for my every day college makeup. Also, it was 50% off so I think I only paid £6 for it which is a really good price.
I got mine in the shade 00 (the lightest one) but what is great about this BB Cream is that it comes out white and as you blend it in, it adapts to your skin tone. This is because it is full of Pigment-filled capsules burst when applied to the skin which releases the colour inside.
I really recommend this to people who are just starting out wearing makeup because it's a very light coverage for school/college and I feel like when you start wearing makeup, it's really hard to find the right colour foundation or BB cream to suit your skin tone. When I started wearing makeup, I wore too dark foundation which made me look orange and when I was tanned one Summer, I wore it too light. But for people who haven't experimented with makeup before, you can depend on this product to be the exact right shade for you.
Obviously, this BB Cream does need to suit everyone as some people might have dark skin and some may have lighter skin, so there are 5 different shades but it is quite easy to see which one is for you and it will adapt to your exact colour anyway so you can't really go wrong.
As you can see, I have applied a tiny blob to my hand which appeared white but as I blended it in, it changed to match my skin colour and it worked very quickly.
Although it's relatively light, as you can see from the photo it has created a really natural but flawless coverage which I think is the perfect extra bit of coverage over my concealer, which I then lock into place with a little powder.
Overall, I think the price was amazing (even without the big discount), it has a nice and natural coverage but it is still breathable to the skin, it is long lasting (although I do like to top up with a bit of extra powder on top throughout the day) and it's very intelligent with the way it works.
I have also noticed a HUGE difference to the amount of spots I have by using this everyday through college and work. I think because it's light and natural, it keeps my skin breathable and doesn't clog up my pores as much as my everyday foundation did.
I also have very dry skin and BB cream is great for extra moisture to the skin, particularly in the winter when my skin gets even dryer!
I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I know it was a lot to read (Lets be honest, we usually skim read and look at the pictures) but I wanted to give my full and honest opinion and supply you with as much information as I could possibly give so that it may help you decide before you go out and buy one yourself. I'm also sorry I don't blog as much as I used to but my laptop broke which meant I had to get a new one which is an Apple Macbook so I had to work out how to use it and it was all a bit confusing. BUT I promise there will be more posts coming more regularly now I know how to use my laptop and it's all set up properly.
I also really want to start doing proper videos on YouTube like fashion/beauty and lifestyle related topics (like my blog) rather then vlogs because thats what I have originally always wanted to do. I have quite a few video ideas which I will be filming on my vlogging camera until I have enough money to get the Cannon 600D which means my future videos will be super good quality. I know filming on my vlogging camera will mean less good quality but I am desperate to do my Body Shop Haul and some other Christmas videos before I get my big camera. I really want to do well with YouTube and blogging as I enjoy it so much and in the new year I am going to try so much harder to make it more successful.
Please follow me on all my social media (on the right hand side bar at the top of this page) and give this blogpost a +1 if you enjoyed it!
Bye!!
