I live on the island of Newfoundland it takes 13 hrs to get from one side of her to the other and nowhere at this time can one find a tube of the second darkest is there to be found of this product. What is wrong ? In desperation I have thrown away me good pension money on more expensive products that don't measure up. I actually bought two tubes that were in rough shape and used as testers, thats how desperate I was to f<br />ind some?

I am above 40 so this bb cream works perfectly for me. Even if my brown spots still appear, I just set it with my channel double cake foundation and it's perfect.

I do like it, but I have naturally oily skin and wouldn't dream of wearing this in the summer, when you reviewed this. Now that it's drier out I don't get the sheen, but I know I would if it were summer. So if you have cold winters where you live, I recommend this product for sure for easy day wear (I am not a fan of too much coverage, I usually like products that just even the skin out a bit, like this one does). For evening I would probably put my Mac Studio Finish powder on top.introspective/hyperactivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139859304650588089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-50259875841534467522012-11-20T11:58:30.528-08:002012-11-20T11:58:30.528-08:00i just bought this today after eyeing it for like ...i just bought this today after eyeing it for like a month! finally, my cvs coupons worked in my favor! <br /><br />i've used missha 31, and it's pretty good, but it puts a weird texture on my skin. i really liked physician's formula's tinted moisturizer, but it's a tad light for me...it's november now, so i'm thinking in january or feb it might work?<br /><br />most of the other makeup i use and sometimes even tinted moisturizers put a grey cast on me. i always used to identify it with things that had spf in it. and my other makeups are still a BIT too light! just a bit! you can check my blogs here on blogspot to see my skin. i don't write about makeup, but my pictures are there ;o) i'm like a medium-dark olive...<br /><br />so, i've been trying to get it right. i got matched at sephora for tarte, i was h12, but that still was a bit too light, and nothing else from them matched. and i was trying to stay natural, at least paraben-free. <br /><br />i didn't want to try anything else drugstore, bc everything seemed to not match. but cvs is great at returns, and so i bought both the darkest, and the next darkest. i figured that the darkest would be WAY too dark, but man...after so much greyness i was like EFF IT! lol<br /><br />but #4 works great on me...i love how it actually feels like a moisturizer. that's another thing i found, is that with almost all of my makeups, and tinted moisturizers, even my missha 31, i was dry after a few hours. so along with ash, i would have dry, and grey. not a good thing on your face! and no matter how lightly i applied it, i would still have cakeface...and i'm talking about a LIGHT application! but i really don't need a LOT of coverage. not because my skin is so perfect, it's just really noticeable when my skin has something on it...hard to describe. it has a unique color and sheen to it, so a lot of makeups deaden that. i actually think it's not so unique, i think that happens to a lot of people.<br /><br />but this bb..i've only had it on 30 min..tried it for a fer hrs on my skin, and overall so far so good! i can take oiliness after a few hrs, bc that means i can use a blotting paper and reapply, and that's ok bc i'd probably need to refresh my spf anyways...so cool!<br /><br />thanks for the blog :o)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825441208797532717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-14282121622432636712012-08-02T13:46:43.189-07:002012-08-02T13:46:43.189-07:00I'm glad to hear I am not the only who has the...I'm glad to hear I am not the only who has the issue of shiny skin after wearing this stuff.

I wear CeraVe day moisturizer (spf 30), primer, Almay Smart Shade Concealer (the best concealer I've ever used but I don't really have dark circles, my problem is white circles actually because I never go outside without sunglasses, rain or shine),and then this. Sometimes I'll throw on PF Mineral Pressed Powder if I think I need it. Honestly I've never used something that actually makes my skin "glow" but this does it! I'm curious if this will work in the winter.AlRohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888481251339289301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-14210311030215075922012-08-01T18:28:29.532-07:002012-08-01T18:28:29.532-07:00What a great post G!!!

I never rely solely on my foundations for sun protection...but, many out there do. So, it is good to note that it might not fully protect. This BB Cream sounds amazing! Agreed...really, it is a tinted moisturizer; but, it just sounds exactly like what I am looking for. I have normal-dry skin (really, it is just "normal" in the summer) and I am a NC 15. So, if it was a tad to light for you, it will likely be just right for me. Fabulous review! Your blog is just amazing and I don't know if I tell you that enough!!! xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168533933587824766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-75259439609420587642012-08-01T18:03:53.351-07:002012-08-01T18:03:53.351-07:00Ok, how about we compare apples to apples?

I actually do know the difference between physical and chemical sunscreens (in fact I asked readers in a previous ”Wednesday Question” here on the blog whether they preferred chemical or physical sunscreens), but what concerned me about this one was that it only contained 1.15% titanium dioxide compared to the 3.5% zinc oxide in the CeraVe. As I said before, i'm definitely not a chemist but this just seemed low to me. <br /><br />Like you said, there are pros and cons to both chem and physical sunscreens and there's also the debate about how much product you actually need to apply to your face in order to have true protection (i've heard as high as a full teaspoon, which is a lot for makeup!). <br /><br />I personally feel more confident as a consumer when I see higher percentages of active ingredients...i'm looking at my Yes To Carrots moisturizer right now which is SPF15 and the one active ingredient in that product is zinc oxide 5%. <br /><br />I welcome your thoughts! :)G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-42170113314281462282012-08-01T11:26:17.401-07:002012-08-01T11:26:17.401-07:00As soon as I find the Palmers bb cream I will buy ...As soon as I find the Palmers bb cream I will buy it and test it for review! :)G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-3388574430801861672012-08-01T11:24:46.432-07:002012-08-01T11:24:46.432-07:00Good luck, hun!

I dont have wrinkles yet ( genetics thank god) and my skin is pretty good. i just started wearing makeup and doing skin care last year because my skin looked dull to me. tried foundation and it was too much. i bought this BB cream in dark tint and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I have normal to dry skin and have dark circles. I do use eve pearl salmon concealer. with this BB cream and my concealer I hit the jackpot. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I may have to use the medium deep in the fall when my tan fades. Medium deep is a tiny bit light for me. I can use NW 45 and NC50 concealers depending on the time of year. Your blog rocks.

I picked the Maybelline cream up (with a coupon -- woo-hoo!) and it's definitely affordable and it does a decent job, but no miracle work. Though in terms of benefits, I think I expect the same or more from the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer (with retinol) or the Aveeno Positively Radiant tinted moisturizer (with SPF 30, too), the latter seems to makes at least some of the BB cream promises, but it came out before the the trend took hold in the U.S. Still, the Maybelline is a nice tinted moisturizer, and I like the portability of it, for quick touch-ups on the go, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115562479179142865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-36286812620084326772012-08-01T06:14:54.659-07:002012-08-01T06:14:54.659-07:00I've been waiting patiently for this review!! ...I've been waiting patiently for this review!!

I find them to be slightly more than tinted moisturizers. Don't get me wrong I do like them-BUT I don't consider them a BB cream-perhaps a North Americanized BB?<br /><br />BTW, I agree with your comparison of the L'Oreal and Maybelline. I can appreciate the Maybelline finish but like you, it comes right off within hours. Color-match wise, the Maybelline is perfection for me.meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956589473746826455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-18468396480553869062012-08-01T05:39:49.517-07:002012-08-01T05:39:49.517-07:00What are some names of the Asian BB creams you lik...What are some names of the Asian BB creams you like?

(there's always one, right?) It makes my face shine in spots in a couple of hours, too. I have to set it with powder— plus blot. That's not a step I usually have to do with other foundations. I usually have to use a moisturizer with sunblock right before applying to keep the foundation from looking to dry on my face.<br /><br />Still, with that said, I still like this product enough that I am willing to blot throughout the day. I can skip the moisturizer step when I use this, so that is a win, too.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036429537496173363noreply@blogger.com
