I am excited to post my first ever BB Cream review.. yeah! the very first but hey! better late than never.
Under the spotlight is The Body Shop all ine one BB cream.
I am the kind of person who tends to form the first impression on packaging and general sheen and shine of the packaging andlick silver here, I was expecting too much from this sleek silver tube!
Isn't it beautiful?!
It smells of rose when applied and the smell is too strong but it doesn't linger on and dies within half an hour of applying. The consistency is neither thick nor thin. Upon opening you find this mud colored cream with tiny buds which look like exfoliating beads but these are infact color adjusting particles. This cream adjusts itself flawlessly on your skin. My hands skin is a lil darker than my face skin and I tried it on both. It passed the test of color adjustment..
Coming to coverage: Its very low coverage. Its not even sheer rather its zero coverage. It would give you the kinda dewy finished look which you can get with any good tinted moisturizer. It claims to be moisturizing which it is but that's not what you apply a BB cream for! I applied it on my face during the days when my face was an oil rig and it neither made it oilier not had any mattifying effect. After applying it for over 8 hours, I didn't get any breakouts.
Coming to my biggest turn-off it DOES NOT have SPF! Yes! this is the department where I would fail it as a BB cream!
Over all.. it's a fairly good tinted moisturizer and not a BB cream for sure with no coverage and no SPF. I would not go for spending PKR 2100 or so for a cream where I can get a way better one in way less money, my sister bought it from PBBC (Pakistani Beauty Bloggers Community) Blog Sale for PKR 1000 from the lovely blogger Anila Faruk and I am so glad we didn't get it off the rack! ;)
Pros: moisturizing, color adjusting
Cons:: Doesn't have SPF, Zero Coverage, you have to apply foundation, concealer separately
Did you try this BB Cream? What was your experience? Which BB Cream is your favorite one?

Lolzzzz, love your comments, if we need to apply old foundation routine than whats the purpose of this???? :P
Deletelol Jadirah :P
DeleteThe Body Shop makeup products never appeals to me. They are quite pricey and are not worth the price. Great review x
ReplyDeleteAgreed, but truly their coca butters and lip pencils are worthy, but again those products came from Canada 5 years back. Now they are lacking their quality department :(
Deleteagree with Rabiyah!
Deletewell no coverage no spf?it should be called a "moisturizer only" cream.I got the physician formula blush from sale by sarah Ali.It was brand new and i loved it :) i think the sale at the official page rockssss :)
ReplyDeleteyou are very right.. The community does rock. xoxo
DeleteGreat review!
ReplyDeletei know it has no spf and it comes with a light coverage but somehow i like this product :)
ReplyDeleteNice review:) yes-no spf with no coverage with few shades my first drawback was oh its not my shade, so i Neva touched it; i don't know about how it works on skin but now glad to know it did nothing i was really thinking to get the new shade 0 for me but not now am also a person who goes for packaging.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anila. I am so glad the review helped you. :)
DeleteI am glad I did not buy it. *Scratches it off her wishlist*

Glad u paid only 1000PKR. I paid 89 riyals(2500+) for this and I was extremely disappointed. No coverage at all. I dnt like its smell. And it feels wet and tacky on face. Bodyshop makeup products have aleays proved to be a total waste of money for me but I had heard so many good things about this one so wanted to give it a try. And I am glad I did coz thsi was my last purchase of any makeup stuff from them.
ReplyDeleteNice review, I'd say it's a fail of a BB cream if it doesn't have any color especially since the tube claims it is tinted!
