Ohh So Peachy

Too-Faced-Tinted-Beauty-Balm £24.50 Hellooo lovely ladies ! and maybe some gent's! today I'm doing a another review of a new addition to my 'Brown Girl's' beauty find's.  This is the latest BB cream purchased, which I'm really excited about and couldn't wait to share with you all.... The sun was shinning over the weekend and it made me feel like we are slowly creeping towards spring and needing  a bit of colour on our winter skin... Ohh la! la!! So this is my very 1st product review for the brand 'Too Faced'!  and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this Beauty Balm!  I ha d been eyeing this and the 'Smashbox BB Cream' at the larger Boot's store for a while and had tried  both on my face in store and actually liked the feel and consistency of the 'Too Faced' Beauty Balm as I found that the Smashbox BB Cream gave a more flat finish where as this gave a more natural luminous...

    Not so great BB! What does a woman do when her favourite tinted moisturiser's not available in the shade she loves?  She does the most obvious and looks for an answer in her other favourite brand  'Bobb i Brown'. But nooo what a disappointment !   Bobb i Brown let herself down in a big way with this and its going to upset some people that I'm saying this but for me this particular 'BB Cream' was a major flop.... boo hoo So what is a BB Cream I hear you say ?  Well for the people who don't know yet and I'm sure there aren't that many people left who haven't heard of this cult product which had taken over for some as an alternative to foundations/tinted moisturiser 's here in the UK .  BB Cream stands for Blemish Balm . Has its origins in German Pharma ceutica l (which is supposed to moisturise, heal, protect, give coverage with SPF) and ha s been a staple in Asia for a number of y ears and has been...

    Its funny how so many Magazines and Beauty Counter MUA's at Department store's will tell you that during winter you need to wear a foundation rather then a Tinted Moisturiser or BB Cream.  I would say that is completely untrue and everyone is different when it comes to their own skin care... I have spent more then a few days at b eauty counters being pushed and cajoled into making pricey purchases on f oundations that I don't need or want so here I have decided that I will gi ve a run down of alternatives to Foundations for everyday use. M ost will say that Foundations  give you choice of a more matt or no glow base which is more suited to the winter look as the Summer look is more suited to the natural and glowy skin... This is true to a certain point as most Foundation ranges do offer you the choice of Matt, Luminous or Natural Glow finish which Tinted Moisturiser's and BB Cream's do n' t . O n this occas ion I'm sitting on the wall ...
