I have never had an interest in BB creams as I don’t have a skin problem.  I didn’t feel that I needed a blemish balm, but I educated myself anyway and was very surprised to find out the BB creams are treatments.

I received a sample tube of a well known brand and tried it.  It was very runny, I didn’t like the smell and it was gray toned??!!.  It was not a good start and not something I would purchase.  I next tried a drugstore brand and the texture and smell were better, but  it changed the color of my makeup.  Back it went.

When I received my GlossyBox last month there was a travel size tube of M Perfect Cover BB Cream in #23, natural beige, in the box.  I had never heard of Missha, which is a Korean company, before so I was excited to give it a try.  I discovered that I liked everything about it.

From the website –

Blemish Balm, also called BB Cream, is known to have been formulated as an after-treatment cream to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery to soothe and regenerate the skin.

The M Perfect Cover BB Cream gives an even and natural-looking coverage with the soothing, moisturising properties of a cream. It is suitable for all skin types including acne-prone skin, and can be used as a makeup base or foundation.

Whitening + Anti-Wrinkle + UV Protection (SPF 42 PA+++)

In addition to the big pluses above, I found that I liked the texture, almost like a whipped mousse.  I liked that there is only a slight scent and I was lucky that the product I received was perfect for my skin tone.  It did not change the color of my make up and best of all it hid the sun damage on my face.  NOTHING has ever covered the sun damage without looking like I had a pound of concealer or foundation on.

Missha makes three different BB Creams and I liked this one so well that I may be trying the other two.

Live and learn:-))

I have really fallen in love with tarte as it is a line of product that for me, so far, delivers as advertised.  I especially like the Amazonian Clay products which are great for the skin and eco-conscious as well.

These Amazonian Clay liners provide nourishment to the lids, are an easy application and have long wear.  The pencils have a soft texture and pure pigments for a bold look.  Use them along the upper and lower lash lines for a bold look or use the smudger for  a softer look.  The liners wear well and stay put – don’t migrate, smear or wear away.  They absolutely are waterproof.  As I have mentioned several times in past posts, I have allergies all year round so I am always searching for products that do not cry off.  This stays put.

When I saw the new trio of SmolderEYES eyeliners, I had to purchase to add to my growing collection.  The colors in this collection are copper, palm green and fig.

These liners will bring you many compliments.  Enjoy!

Peace
