‘Two B’ or not to B! No.7 BB cream review!!

If you have been in Boots over the last few weeks it would be hard not to notice No.7’s new yummy ranges! Not only has the packaging been given an uplift, they also have some great new products with a fresh twist, My favourite being their Beautiful Skin BB Cream.

BB cream or ‘blemish balm’ has been around for years and is current a craze throughout the beauty industry, with everyone from Garnier to Estee Lauder offering their version of the beauty classic. No.7’s BB cream comes for all different skin types that can be seen above ensuring that you have just the right consistency! The product gives a light to medium coverage with an SPF 15.

I am currently using the normal/ dry and find it great for every day wear providing a fresh faced dewy finish. The bad points of this product and like all BB creams is its lasting power! To increase its staying power i use a medium to full coverage powder. By the time i get home after a long day however I do look like I have no make-up on at all! My verdict is its a great product for people that like tinted moisturisers or are running to the shops and don’t want to chance bumping into a hottie with no make-up on, but I wouldn’t be wearing it anywhere important and would not recommend it for those wanting to cover blemishes!

I have heard on the beauty grapevine that the Estee Lauder BB cream does offer good coverage and lasting power, I haven’t tried it yet but it’s next on the list! I will be sure to report back 😉
