Hi girls, I have finally pushed myself to switch up my daily full coverage foundation for something a little more natural for the summer months. All who know me well enough will know that this is a "dun dun dunnn!" moment at its best!
Since returning from my holiday in Spain I realised that exposing my skin to the sun had really taken it's toll on the way my skin looked and felt. My holy grail mac studio fix started to apply really cakey even after a light application & I've been getting these small raised bumps under my skin on my temples (not the slightest bit attractive) and My attempt to cover them over with foundation only resulted in them standing out more.
I have always passed up BB creams in the past being a more full coverage kind of girl. But I was helpless and my skin needed a break! I had a little scout around boots and came across Maybelline dream pure 8-in-1 BB Cream a blemish fighting BB that claims to..
1. Conceal imperfections
2. Helps protect against appearance of blemishes.
3. Oil-free, non-greasy.
4. Minimises the appearance of pores.
5. Clarifies the skins appearance.
6. Reduces redness.
7. Smoothes & hydrates.
8. Complements skin tone
This product contains 2% Salicylic Acid, the highest percent of blemish fighter used in a BB Cream. Yet the formula is gentle enough to use everyday. I would reccomend using a moisturiser before application as this product is oil free and can be quite drying when used alone.
Overall I feel a BB Cream is a perfect pick for summer and may have been converted to a more natural everyday look, I'm shocked at how lightweight it feels on my skin and don't feel as though my face will melt off when out in the sun! contains SPF 15 just like my mac studio fix and I'm in the shade Medium.

There's also one for skin less prone to acne which I believe is a little less drying:)

I love this BB cream, I've been using it for the past year. That lip colour looks stunning on you, I might have to go buy it myself.
