BB (Beauty Balm) cream is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturiser, primer, foundation, and sunblock. It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturiser, over serum and moisturiser or as a regular foundation depending on the desired amount of coverage. Sounds like a "miracle" cream! But to find the perfect one, aah that's a different story... ;)
Variety of BB Creams
The only
BB cream I've used so far is the one from
Garnier... And I find it a bit too
oily for my
combination skin, I always have to use pressed powder with it, throughout the day to reduce shine on my T-zone. However with the winter nearing, my skin tends to get dryer, meaning
Garnier might do the trick after all, being my bestie this winter. ;) But with that being said, I will not buy it again, I'm actually opting for the
9-in-1 BB cream from
Rimmel. Hoping it's a keeper!
The latest from
Rimmel R99.95
Lusting after the,
All-in-one BB cream from
The Body Shop R180.00
With so much on the market it can be a bit difficult finding the perfect one. I guess I need something that's less oily or better yet, maybe I should ask myself: Do I need a
BB cream or should I stick to good old, long-wear foundation? ;)What
BB cream are you using and will you repurchase it? Please share.

I am using the Garnier BB cream and I too am finding it to be a bit too oily. I also have an oily T panel and it gets a bit icky sometimes. I'll keep using it during winter months to see the difference. That Rimmel one looks good though.
ReplyDeleteYes Emma, let's see how it goes this winter. Let me know how you find the other's when you try them out. Thanx for commenting. Lots of love. xoxo

ReplyDeleteSuch a great review . I've heard bb cream is pretty oily , so you right perhaps in winter it will be the perfect solution to the dry air.

Thanx Meghan, just yesterday I saw on Twitter that PONDS will launch their own BB cream especially made for SA skin in May for about R89.99 at Clicks, Dischem and Foshini... They have a SPF of 30+ and they claim it's non-oily and will improve even skin-tone. Love the pink glam packaging too, kinda impressive.
DeleteI used the Garnier one and my skin broke out from it so Im not a fan of it :/ keen to try the Body Shop one though!
ReplyDeleteOh no! :( I love the Garnier one.
DeleteWow a break out, that's bad... I was told not to use any moisturiser before I use Garnier, a bit difficult because I cant live without sunscreen, as I burn easily. But I will try this out for the rest of the month starting tomorrow. I'm giving my still full Garnier BB cream one last try. Really looking forward to try out the new PONDS BB cream though.
ReplyDeleteI find the Garnier one to be super moisturizing and you definitely don't need moisturizer as well as the BB cream.
DeleteGreat post :)
Thanx Chicara. xoxo
