There has been a lot of buzz about B.B. Cream lately and lucky for me that L’Oreal Paris and She Speaks has given me the opportunity to try it for myself. First, let me tell about the Magic Skin Beautifier B.B. Cream. B.B. stands for Beautifying Beads. These are pigments infused in an ultra-light lotion with antioxidants Vitamin C & E. The claim is that it contains 4 beautifying actions all in 1 cream.
Here it is:
1. Primes to help smooth skin’s texture
2. Perfects to hide imperfections
3. Hydrates for all day moisture.
4. Corrects to help skin look more healthy
Basically, B.B. cream should transform your skin for perfect flawless skin and with extended use make your skin more beautiful.
How did it hold up?
Flawless bare skin finish? Yes, it does work. It goes on smooth and decreases the appearance of pores. It evened out my skin tone. It was absorbed quickly into my skin which I like. I also love how it takes the shininess out of my T-zone, which alleviates the need for the powder that I usually use. Does it hydrate? Well, the first day I used the cream I found that it actually drew attention to some dry patches on my face. I didn’t like it. I continued using the product and that problem began to decrease. So, I’m going to say, yes it does hydrate and nourish the skin.
I made the mistake of trying to apply foundation over this product because I loved the matte look, but that was a mistake. It is meant to be used alone. I am over 40 and I think this product is best for younger skin. I think It will be a big hit in Summer when foundation is too heavy.
L’Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream retails for $10.95 for 1 fl oz. It is available in four shades and is sold at mass food and drug retailers nationwide.
Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for an honest review from L’Oreal and SheSpeaks.com All thoughts are my own.

How was the L’oreal BB scent? I had to quit using the Garner one because the fragrance gave me a headache!

My face was horribly red and really blotchy and dry. I applied layers of moisturizer and no results. I stopped by my local drug store and found L’Oreal magic skin beautified bb cream anti redness and wow, amazing results. The redness was instantly gone. Highly recommended to anyone with red blotchy skin. Thank you L’Oreal.
