Estee Lauder Day Wear BB Cream Review

Hi All,
I hope you all had a great weekend, I went to Macy's on Saturday and there were sales going on and I think they started holiday season sales and gifts. Well I got something from Estee Lauder and that's day wear BB cream...

 It comes in only two shades, light and medium and it costs $40. Its a high end BB cream so I wanted it to really work and I expected to see flawless results.
Here are the claims this product states

• All at once, Moisture, Protection and flawless Perfection
• Plus the most effective anti-oxidant power ever.
• This lightweight BB creme creates and instant, even-toned, healthy look.
• Delivers high-performance, oil-free hydration and helps to control excess surface oil
• Powerfully protects with our proven super anti-oxidant complex and SPF 35.

So I tried it on, in the first it shows very light coverage but after 10 - 15 minutes it gave medium coverage. it didn't hide all of the blemishes or other spots completely so it wasn't a flawless look. I didn't feel my skin moisture through out the day, creme smells like sunscreen, it sure is lightweight, I mean I didn't feel heavy or wearing something on my face all day. it did even out the skin tone but it didn't do the wonder. My skin is not oily so I can't tell about oil control, but it didn't make my skin shiny. Overall I am not impressed, like why spend $40 on it when I can get these features easily from a drugstore BB creme. I don't know about that anti-oxidant thingy but I didn't feel any super duper change or miracle here.

Hope you find it helpful, Shine and Smile..

Allah bless us all!!

BB Cream - L'Oreal Youth Code, Revlon Photoready, Neutrogena Visibly Even

Hey People

Today I am going to talk about BB creams, I was using three different BB creams in past month and they were all drugstore BB creams. L'Oreal Youth Code, Revlon Photoready, Neutrogena Visibly Even.

Lets start from the worst experience and it is ..... Revlon

Revlon Photoready BB cream Claims:

- Hydrates, Smoothes, Conceal and Protects with SPF 30

- Gives skin a brightened, perfected look

May be it does hydrates but I couldn't see, DOES NOT smoothes my skin, definitely doesn't conceal, I mean I couldn't feel any difference before and after this BB cream, like my face looks exactly the same.. Yes it protects with SPF 30, DOES NOT brightened and DOES NOT give me perfect look... Conclusion a BIG NO! No coverage at all, not even light coverage.

On the second number its Neutrogena Visibly Even.
 Neutrogena Visibly Even Claims:

• Reduce the look of dark spots, blotchiness, and blemish marks in just 4 weeks

• Protect skin from future dark spots and sun damage

• Brighten and even skin tone

• Improve skin’s clarity and radiance

I does reduce dark spots but only when you apply it, yes it protects from sunlight because it have SPF 30, it does brighten and even the skin tone but only little bit, and same for last claim. It looks that its working when you apply the cream on your face but staying power is so not good, even in an hour you can see the BB cream is gone... So again NO from me! very light coverage

the final BB cream is L'Oreal Youth Code 

This is the one which works best them all, it claims

•  instantly evens
•  illuminates
•  perfects
•  moisturizes and protects skin. 
• In one week, tone and texture are improved and skin is healthier looking.
•  Contains Broad Spectrum SPF 15

Yes it evens the skin tone, it illuminates lil bit, doesn't perfects but does good job, yes it moisturizes and gives the moisturizing type of glow which I don't like so I use translucent powder and it works great, and it gives me healthy looking skin,

It is light to medium coverage and when you use translucent powder you enhance the coverage, it stays on your skin for 6-8 hours which is great.

That's all, hope you find it helpful.. shine and smile..

Allah bless us all!
