Best BB Creams in India!

IMG_2620-001

Hello My Lovelies!

For the past couple of months I found myself getting sucked into the world of BB creams! Whenever I spotted a new BB cream I used to get a “ding!” in my head followed by, “gotta have that!” 

Now, after having tried my share of BB Creams I have come to the conclusion that there are 3 BB Creams that clearly stand out than the rest in terms of quality, coverage, longevity and texture!

1. Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector

3. Pond’s White Beauty All in One BB + Fairness Cream

(A little info ~ Normally my skin tone is NC 30 but due to tanning and other little skin issues I fluctuate between NC 30 and NC 35)

1. Colorbar Perfect Match BB Cream

Price ~ Rs. 550 for 29 gm

Shades Available ~ 3 (Vanilla Creme, Honey Glaze & Cinnamon Swirl)

Where to Buy ~ Here!

Colorbar Perfect Match Beauty Balm in Vanilla Creme is one BB cream that was really hard to find! I searched online then I searched at Shoppers’ Stop but, alas, I couldn’t find the shade ” vanilla creme “ anywhere! Then finally one day I chanced upon a NewU store and lo and behold they had the Colorbar Perfect Match BB Cream in Vanilla Creme! Ha! I metaphorically wept with tears of joy!

Coming to the BB cream the texture of the BB cream is a little like a mousse/cream combo. This BB cream really makes my skin glow and look radiant! It last easily for upto 4-5 hours on my skin.

The only little minor bump that I have experienced with this BB cream is that since I have dry skin it has a tendency to look a tad patchy on my skin.

My Rating ~ 3/5

2. Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector

Price ~ Rs. 99 for 18 gm and Rs. 199 for 40 gm

Shades Available ~ 1

Where to Buy ~ Here!

Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector ~ Okay, I’ll be honest, I didn’t have very (read : any) high hopes with this BB cream! And I say this only because I didn’t really have a good experience in the past with Garnier products. But, oh boy! This BB cream knocked it out of the park and then some!

Garnier BB cream does not have either too runny or too thick texture and it doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin. It is quite emollient and blends like a dream! It gives me great coverage and really evens out my skin tone making it look presentable! It wears for about 4-5 hours on me.

It is a great everyday BB cream, and it gives a soft glow to my face!

The only drawback is that it only comes in one shade, so dusky beauties might find it too ashy and pale skinned beauties might find it too dark!

My Rating ~ 3.5/5

3. Pond’s White Beauty All in One BB + Fairness Cream

IMG_2634

Price ~ Rs.69 for 6 gm, Rs. 125 for 18 gm and Rs. 325 for 50 gm

Shades Available ~ 1

Where to Buy ~ Here!

Pond’s White Beauty BB + Fairness Cream ~ Wow! That name is a mouthful! Phew! First things first, I LOVE THIS BB CREAM! I cannot rave enough about it! This has been to-date my most used/ most loved BB cream, this was my core everyday base makeup product this past summer!

This BB cream gives me excellent coverage! It is almost like a medium coverage foundation. This BB cream really even out and brightens my skin tone and makes me look radiant!

Since, I have really dry skin I really need to moisturize my skin before I use this BB cream. This BB cream lasts around 9-10 hours on me, so it is really long wearing.

Only con is that it comes in one shade, which is suitable for medium skin toned people which is a bummer since it is really an awesome product!

My Rating ~ 4.5/5

Phew!

That’s it for now!

As always send me some love!

Lippies I Regret Buying!

image

Hello My Lovelies!
I am back with another post! And in today’s post I am going to tell you guys all the lip products I regretted purchasing!

Ready? Lets go!

1. Lakmé Enrich Satin Lipstick in shade 354

image

I had for a long time wanted to buy a lipstick from the Lakmé Enrich Satin range, so naturally when the SA swatched this lipstick on my hand I thought that since it looks nice on my hand it would naturally translate into looking nice on my lips…
WRONG! WRONG! SO WRONG!
image

The taste of this lipstick is like inhaling lipstick and perfumed chemicals in!
It makes my lips look Aunty Types! Actually come to think of it, this is an Aunty No 1 lipstick! ( No offence to all the aunties! I am sure you would love this lipstick )

This lipstick for me was a major fail of epic proportion!

Moving on!

2. Colorbar Lip Gloss in Just Bitten

Lovely Swatch Right? WRONG!
God! I had so much hope for this lip gloss!
I thought I would look like a femme fatale with blood red glistening lips!
Yeah, that didn’t happen! I just need to stop envisioning my self as Catwoman the next time I think of buying such horrendous lippies!

image

I might be smiling in the picture ( why wouldn’t I? I am getting clicked! ) but god! This lip gloss stains like hell , my lips start getting super warm as soon as I apply this and taking this lip gloss off is just such a task when you don’t have wet wipes!

3. The Body Shop Born Lippie in Strawberry

Okay, long story short I bought it beacuse it looked cute. Period. Its sticky, too bubblegum-y and too strawberry for my liking!

Ugh!

Well, thats it for now 🙂
