Camera Ready

I finally got my BB Cream in the mail from Sephora.  I actually decided to go with Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream instead of choosing other brands.  I found the color matched me quite well and it was decently priced at, $39.  According to the back of the tube, this product, "moisturizes, primes, perfects, protects and control oils in one step to create a flawless face in a flash."

Initially opening the package, I liked the sleek, simple appearance and was quite ecstatic about the fact that it had an SPF 35.  I'm a firm believer that we should protect our skin, regardless of what shade our skin is.  Everyone may be prone to getting skin cancer, so let's just reduce the effects of this and aging by using a sunscreen.  A BB Cream like this makes this easy for all of us.  If you are always in a hurry or never have enough time to do your makeup, I would highly recommend using a product such as this. The shade I used was a Medium, which matched my skin wonderfully. Anyways, what I didn't like about this was the consistency of the cream.  It was very thick! Being myself, I hate that feeling of caking my face, so all I used was literally less than a dime sized amount.  Since, I didn't like the consistency of the product, I just added a little bit of my moisturizer to thin it out.  I used my fingers and applied from the inner parts of my face (nose and cheeks) to the outer portions of my face (forehead and chin).  The coverage for this item was quite a bit.  I was expecting a light coverage, but I would say this was a medium coverage.  I finished up with my concealer and pressed powder over my T-Zone. Even better for those people on the run and no time to touch up during the day.  For the most of the day, the product stayed on and didn't melt off my face (I'm only saying this because I was wearing it while doing hot yoga). It did leave a flawless finish and did leave my skin feeling smooth.

Other BB Creams I have looked into:
-Dior HydraLife BB Cream
-Estee Lauder DayWear BB Cream

I hope that helps, if you're searching for BB Creams.  Let me know what you think of this product or any others that are similar.
