Today I am going to review BB Cream by Bourjois Paris. Since there is over 20 degrees of Celzius, I am using BB creams, because they are much more lighter than foundation. If I use foundation when it is hot outside, I always get breakouts and clogged pores. So I switched my favourite foundation for this BB cream.
I have tried a lot of BB creams of different brands, so I can say that this one belongs to the "better" ones.
I am going to review it another way than I am used to, it is supposed to have 8 functions so I am going to comment on each of them and in the end sum up my impressions:
1. perfecting - I wouldn't say it hides perfectly blemishes, because it has very light and creamy structure, you'll definitely need to use more concealer than the amount you use on blemishes if you have foundation.
But it is natural as BB creams aren't supposed to provide full coverage :)
If you don't have any blemishes, this BB cream really perfects your skin, evens out all the discolourations and dark spots.
2. smoothing - I can definitely say it smoothens the skin, leaving a very matt finish
3. targeted correction - see perfecting, I would not say it corrects that much
4. anti - fatigue - definitely agree :)
after application the skin lightens up, this BB cream gives it such a healthy glow
5. anti - aging - can't prove or deny,hehe...but if it acts so, I am very grateful :D
6. anti - shine - this BB cream definitely has some anti - shine effects, but only for approximately half a day. Unfortunately, it gets worn off easily mainly on the more oily areas (in my case on the forehead, nose and chin) so after a certain amount of time I noticed that my skin looks oily as if I haven't applied anything.
You can't wear it whole day without touching it up throughout the day.
7. long-lasting hydratation - after winter I had some dry patches on my nose and cheeks and since I am using this BB cream, they have disappeared
8. SPF 20 - I am so thankful it has SPF, because I am very bad in putting on sunscreen - I always forget it...
1. packaging and texture
2. the finish on the skin
3. nice,fresh scent
4. SPF 20
5. lightens up the skin
Cons:
1. available only in 4 colours, which are more dark so suitable for women with darker skin tone
2. price - approx. 16€, for me it is ok for BB cream, but drugstore BB creams are much more cheaper
3. doesn't last all day
(my baby in 23 Rose Beige)
So overall, I am very satisfied with this product. I loooove its packaging, it is so elegant, comes with a mirror and a little sponge. I also love the light, creamy texture, which can be applied so easily without putting a lot of effort it blends so easily. As I've mentioned, leaves very matt finish and not that awkward dewy look.
I definitely don't regret buying this product and I am sure I will re - purchase it again! :)
That's all for today :)
Wishing you a nice weekend!
Kisses,
Carina...
