Lipstick Question of the Week:
What’s your current favorite BB cream? If you don’t have one, what’s your current favorite foundation?
G's answer: My current favorite is Lumene Vitamin C Anti-Age Illuminating BB Cream. It's the one I keep going back to on "lazy days" (I'm wearing it now, actually). When I don't want to apply moisturizer and I just want something that gives me some decent coverage and lasts all day, this one is totally dependable for me. I just wish it came in more shade options so that everyone could try it.

I suppose mine would be the Garnier BB Cream... it's not my holy grail or anything... I really haven't tried many to compare it to. I yet to try the "real" bb creams, but this one is nice... like a nice tinted moisturizer. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Marcelle BB cream, a Canadian brand.
ReplyDeleteGarnier oil control BB in the summer, Covergirl tone rehab in the winter. The CGTR isn't "named" a BB, but they can't seem to make up their minds what it is.. first it was a foundation, then a CC cream... all I know is that it's the closest to what a BB is "supposed" to be like that I've found in the drugstore.
ReplyDeleteRimmel London BB cream and I've wondered about the Lumene one and the Say Yes To Grapefruit(?).... Just want to finish this one up before getting another.... No buy going on over here!
ReplyDeleteI like Skin79's Hot Pink Super Plus BB. it's the only BB cream I've used with good coverage and good oil control.
ReplyDeleteI know u said bb cream but, my favorite Is lumene cc cream. I was using their bb but the cc covers so much more!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I have both and almost always reach for the CC over the other. I still need to set it with a powder though, and for that I use Palladio Natural Rice Dual wet&dry foundation. That Lumene CC works great as an alternative to concealer. I also like Jackie Oates from Lush, it's actually not marketed as a BB or CC, but a "colour supplement". It has tons of skin loving natural ingredients and works the way a BB is intended to.
DeleteI like the Revlon BB cream on a "lighter" day (when I don't need as much spackle) but now that the weather's colder I've been using more of that Cover Girl 3-in-1 foundation or the Wet n Wild Coverall foundation. Once some things are used up I want to try a CC cream or one of the newer rollouts.
ReplyDeleteI bought a thick moisturizer for my face, I dab some of that and mix it with my L'Oreal True Match foundation and voila. It's really working for me... except on days when I have a really bad zit.
