This week I received some goodies from PUPA at home and I got very excited…one of the things I received is this BB Cream & Primer which really excited me. I’ve been hearing all about BB creams for what two years now? But for some reason I never jumped onto the bandwagon and never ended up buying one, maybe it was just a case of sticking to what I knew – my moisturiser and foundation which after all were serving me well and being reluctant to change. BB cream stands for beauty balm and is basically touted as being an all-in-one mosituriser & corrector, this product from PUPA is also a primer.
After receiving one in the post it meant I was now FORCED to try one out, sooo without wasting any time, I immediately set about using it. I did not apply any moisturiser underneath..I simply applied the product onto my face using my fingers and made sure to spread it around evenly. I was given the nude colour, which might be slightly too light for my darker skin tone, they do however have a darker shade and truth be told once I made sure to blend it in correctly, it looked fine.
Next step was the coverage inspection, I’m not one to suffer from spots but that day I did have a couple of bumps on my face and was sure I would still need foundation/concealer to hide these…WRONG…the BB cream perfectly concealed them and other blemishes on my face and what’s more my face did not look in the least dry or cakey…I simply put some bronzer on my face and I was ready to be on my way….
Next step was to inspect throughout the day for longevity….so as to be able to really judge I did not spray my usually fixer onto my face…again this product came out trumps…11 hours later and my makeup was still there looking exactly like it had looked that morning. I normally only get that result from my foundation if I use a fixer so this really impressed me.
I give this product a 10/10 ..it’s easy to use…has a lovely formula…..an SPF of 20 and great longevity–brilliant!
