Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35

As some of you know the latest beauty craze to hit the selves is BB cream. BB cream was first created in Germany for healing laser skin surgery and other cosmetic procedures because of its characteristic soothing and skin-regenerating properties. It was first made popular in Asia and then spread worldwide as news of its amazing skin benefits spread.

BB creams come in a variety of different formulas and qualities. Some properties and qualaities that some BB creams possess are as follows:

1. Skin brightening
2. Anti-acne
3. Anti-wrinkle
4. Even out skin tone
5. Lighten blemish scars

These are just some of the properties that are available in different BB creams. BB creams also can act as a multitasking cream combining moisturizer, primer, concealer, foundation and sun protection all in one convenient bottle. 

This is where the Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 comes in, it hydrates, primes, perfects, controls oil, and protects for flawless skin when you are on the go and beyond. This is what Smashbox had to say about this product "Formulated with emollients and optical pearl pigments, this BB Cream gives skin a glowing, ethereal look and provides a hydrating veil for the complexion to maintain moisture on the surface of the skin. With its ultra-smoothing finish, it instantly re-texturizes to create a smooth canvas. Especially when worn under foundation, it enhances the wear of makeup for up to eight hours. Ideal even for oily complexions, this expert formula with UVA/UVB protection helps inhibit oil to prevent the complexion from getting shiny throughout the day without the typical chalky matte finish" - Smashbox

I did get my hands on a good sized sample from Sephora as the shade Light was sold out and I found that this product does everything that it says it does. I was very impressed, my skin looked radiant and dewy yet it didn't look or feel like I had makeup on. I still looked like myself (as you can see in the photos below), only better because the little skin imperfections and discolourations that I have were covered up. The cream itself is light and absorbs easily into the skin. The result was a nice, matte finish that lasted all day and the best part is I didn't have to apply multiple layers of different products to achieve the look I wanted.

 No Makeup - Kudos to me :)

 Finished look using Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream - As you can see it covered up my skin imperfections and discolouration perfectly and made my skin look more uniform.

Overall, I think this BB cream by Smashbox is a great product and I will defiantly be purchasing some when I can finally hunt it down, as it seems to be notoriously out of stock every time I go into Sephora.
