The BB Cream To Brighten You Up

The Search for the Perfect

I have an oily and pimple prone skin. I am always on a lookout for the products which can suit my skin type perfectly. I don't apply foundation except once or twice in a year and that too when I need to use heavy makeup. It is my experience that Foundation, most of the time, clogs our pores and supports  in the pimple breakout. So for day to day coverage of uneven skin tone, I needed something which does not cause breakouts and does not make my skin look oily or shiny. After using BB creams from various brands I came across body shop BB cream and I thought of giving it a try. surprisingly it suited me a lot and met most of my desired expectations.

                       

About the product 

The product is launched by The Body Shop. It mentions that the product contains fair trade organic tea tree oil from Kenya. This particular product comes in three shades 1,2 and 3. All these comes in a tube with a sturdy lid. You can match the color according to your complexion. YES. It has a faint fragrance of tea tree oil also.

My take

• People with oily and pimple prone skin should definitely give it a try. 
• It does not clog pores and does not make the skin look shiny. 
• In addition to it it gives a very good coverage for uneven skin tone 
• Maintains the same fresh feeling for a longer time here                               

Finally..

Below is the picture of my friend's hand where I have applied 01 BB cream on half part of her hand. This was done to test the cream. As you can clearly see the good coverage and the smooth look after applying this BB cream.
