This BB cream contains 30mls of product at the rrp price of $12.99
I purchased this BB cream in a Medium/Dark which worked pretty well for my NC42 skin.
I was hesitant to try this because of my past experiences with a now discontinued Rimmel foundation, though after seeing that the colour was dark enough for my skin, I decided to give it a go.
For a BB cream, it actually gave decent coverage and as it states, it is also Matte, but not so much that my skin looked dry. Now I have pretty oily skin, so Unfortunately this didn't "control shine all day".
I usually use the Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation but decided to wear this one day instead. I asked my co-worker what she thought about my makeup and if she liked it (without telling her what I was wearing). She said that the coverage was quite good and it looked more natural to what I usually wore, which is exactly what I thought.
What I like about it:
- Colour is dark enough for Anyone who's around an NC42
- Decent Coverage
- Matte Coverage without looking dry
- Doesn't start separating on face after a few hours
- Controls shine for most of the day
- Easy to apply
- Evens out skin tone
- The consistency isn't too thick, but also isn't as runny as the Garnier bb cream
I can't really say much for if it really prevents blemishes or not, but that's what Rimmel claims.
Overall it is a pretty decent product especially for the price of. You can always fine it cheaper, I was lucky enough to get mine from a pharmacy for only $5.99.
Have you tried this yet? If so, what do you think about it?
