Smashbox BB Cream Review

I promised last week that I'd review the new 

Smashbox BB Cream for y'all so here we go.

I like to do some research before I go out and invest in a 

new product...especially one that I put on my skin.

I started hearing about these BB creams on a few

blogs and online so I decided I should check them out. 

My first question was, 

What the heck is a BB cream?

Here's what I found.

A BB cream is 'an all-in-one product that combines the function

of a primer, anti-aging serum, moisturizer, and light foundation- plus many contain

added benefits like SPF.' 

Then I went on to search for the best ones. 

These popped up on numerous sites so I figured they were legit -

Dr. Jart + Water Fuse Beauty Balm

Boscia B.B. Cream

Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream

Clinique Age Defense BB Cream

If you wanna compare more, this is a good site to check out. 

I know it's a lot of information but I love knowing everything

there is to know before I make a switch. So maybe you're like me :)

Ok so onto the review. 

Pro's-

- I love the way it goes on and makes my skin feel.

It's a matte foundation with a moisturizer in it so it doesn't leave your 

face all dry or greasy. I have sensitive, combination skin and this works great for me.

My face feels really smooth and it stays on all day.

- SPF 35. 

I love a foundation that contains SPF. That way you don't

have to worry about putting on sunscreen when you go to the pool or beach. 

- The price. At $38, it's still cheaper than the foundation and the primer that I use.

Here's what my previous routine looked like-

Primer/Foundation/Setting Powder

I'll be saving an average of $116 on makeup because the BB cream is supposed to take the place 

all 3 of these. Who doesn't love saving moolah?! 

Con's-

- I don't really have anything bad to say about this product yet because 

I've only been using it for about a week. 

I don't notice too big of a difference in coverage, but I don't like to 

wear my makeup really heavy anyway. But if you're one that does

like to wear it a little heavier, you can always layer foundation on top.

Overall, I'm a fan of using a BB cream because of the benefits it offers. 

I'm interested to see what some of the others are like so if you've

tried them before let me know what you think.

Would you consider switching to a BB cream?

If you have, which one do you use?

Do you like it?
