I get the Clicks magazine for Gold Clubcard holders which is nothing special, just that you spend a lot at Clicks, and saw a product in there which I went to check out.
It wasn't worth the bother BUT... BUT.... I saw this new thing, BB cream, and decided to try it.
I don't like the cheapest of anything so I took something middle-of-the-range (Garnier) and since I'd had good success with their hair colour, I was confident this would be a good product too.
It was... but not good enough coverage for a work day.
On a work day, one (me) needs to be more put together than on a weekend. So I'd use normal foundation during the week and the Garnier on the weekend.
Perfect.
And then one day I popped into Clicks again (I do lots of aimless popping into Clicks which has got to stop) and Sorbet had just launched their BB cream.
How could I resist?!
(this is how it starts with me!)
I bought the Sorbet and I LOVE IT!
It has much better coverage than the Garnier and I've been using it to wear to work.
I saw an ad somewhere for a matte BB cream and now I'm hooked on finding that. This will be IT, I know it will :)
So off I went to Clicks again :)
The sales assistant and I had a lovely long chat about BB creams. She gave me some samples of a Ponds one and they also make an anti-ageing one (not that I need it *ahem*) but alas, didn't know what I was talking about with the matte one.
But did you see Yardley also makes CC cream?!
Come on! Now I've got to try that too.
BB cream is a tinted moisturiser and CC cream is a colour corrector. Here's a post from a beauty blog.
The reason I like them so much is the flat-out convenience. I'm really lazy with my skin and have a super-fast "routine". So in the mornings, it's wash, BB cream, eyeliner, eyeshadow on my eyebrows only, lipliner and lipstick.
5 minutes and I'm done.
In May, I'm going to have SO MUCH time to do more fun posts like actually take photos of my routines and such :)
I now have to give away some unopened "proper" foundation - anyone with my skin colour want them? Because seriously, I can't go back :)
Have you tried BB or CC cream?
Which is your favourite?
