Hello Sugar Critters, I'm back with my review of L’Oréal Paris Magic BB cream. I received this product compliments of Shespeaks in exchange for my honest opinion, and blog review. I'd say that was more than a fair exchange. I apologize in advance if the pictures I provide aren't of the best quality. I'm having a bit of a lighting issue in candy land this week. Honestly due to being sick this was the first day I haven't been green around the gills in a while. So no judging the bad hair, I look like I was hit by the same twister that took out Dorthy. All this aside I'll start my review.
Included within the package were:
- One information card. This explained the product, and sharing instructions.
- One full size 1.0fl oz L’Oréal paris Magic BB cream in the shade light
- All-in-one product - Prime, perfect, hydrate, and correct skin tone
- Apply by dotting on and blending with fingertips.
- Products self-adjusting beads transform your skin tone instantly.
My take on the product, and tips are as follows:
I was excited to try this product. I love L’Oréal products so I had high expectations for this BB cream. I have to admit I'm not as thrilled with this product as I had hoped I'd be. I will say that it is still a good product however. There are a few things that stand out about this BB cream to me. It has a decent wear time. It does seem to match to your skin tone within reason. Though I believe that it has better coverage, and color when applied with a foundation brush instead of your fingertips. In my video I pointed out problem I found with applying with fingertips. I had the infamous orange ring of doom appear. Not a happy camper when that happens. I feel that you end up applying far too much of the product this way. I'm also a big "Don't put your fingers all over your face!" sort of gal.
As far as hydration goes I'm not very certain how true I would say this claim is. When I don't moisturize before using I have "snake skin" spots as I call them. The little dry patches that are noticeable under your makeup. Not a big fan of that at all. I'd recommend using your favorite skin moisturizer beforehand.
I could see this product being used as a primer or concealer. It does mask the small imperfections well. I noticed my eye shadow wore very well when I applied the BB cream to my lids. It also made my under eye seem brighter, which made me look less tired. That's always a plus.
Truth be told I think you could find a better BB cream. My biggest "really?" moment came when I realized this BB cream didn't contain a sun screen. That was a bit of a let down. You do get a decent bang for your buck with this product though. It retails for $10.95, and is widely available. L’Oréal also tends to have great rebates, and offers. I'll link you below to a $10 mail in rebate for more of their great BB cream products.
I'd recommend this product to people with oily, to slightly dry skin. If you have acne related blemishes I may recommend you use a BB cream designed for fuller coverage from the same brand.
