This week my friend, Jess (and fellow blogger on Glamonics) was kind enough to help me out when I had loads of questions about the fuss around BB Creams. I didn’t know where to start and figured some of you may have the same questions. So here it is, from the mouth a pro! With Jess’ recommendations, I went out and tried Clinique’s BB Cream and have fallen in love after two short days. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Thanks Jess!
BB Creams

Just what is all the fuss about? What makes it different from other products? What are its benefits? Do I need it? Which one should I purchase? Those were my questions too. Hi, I’m Jess!…
My list of products that I use is a long one to begin with (I’m a makeup artist and beauty blogger over at Polish and Pout)! I love it when something exciting comes out, but I also want to know whether this bb stuff everyone is talking about is good or just a gimmick before I jump on the bandwagon.
So here it is in a nutshell: BB cream (stands for Blemish Balm or Beauty Balm) is a multi-functional product. It provides coverage and evens out skin tone while actually helping your skin! Most BB creams provide built in skin care benefits such as anti aging, antiacne, or sun damage reversal. Add to that SPF, built in primer, hydration, and actual coverage! Plus, many are oil absorbing, unlike their older sister the tinted moisturizer, and give better coverage too!
Who needs it? Everyone! For the minimalist or short on time person, this one stop shop is the way to go. For those who like the natural-my-skin-just-looks-this-amazing-always-I-don’t-even-have-to-try look (umm, don’t we all want that?!), BB creams cover while looking like your own skin! And for the makeup junkie (like myself!) who really does not like to go anywhere without something on, even on quick trips to the store, this is the perfect weekend or gym makeup product! And for those who love their full face of makeup at all times, why not swap your current primer for one that’s good for your skin and gives you more coverage?
Sounds like a win-win to me! So, which ones to try and which ones to buy? Stop by my beauty blog Polish and Pout, to get the in’s and out’s of the ones on the market right now and which is right for you!
Cheers,
Jess
