B.B. Cream wave is going to be big in the UK so 'Take Care'

What is BB Cream?
In one of my old posts, I've talked a little bit about BB Cream already but I'm going to talk more about it this time. BB Cream stands for Blemish Balm Cream. It has been very popular with Oriental Women.
Why? Because it's a cream that does everything. First like it says, it blemishes your skin. Most importantly, it has a sun block effect and whitening which is what all Oriental women are obsessed with.(Oriental women are obsessed with having clear and white skin. Freckles and dark spot are their enemies!) It can act also as as a primer/ base, foundation, concealer, keeps your skin moist for a very long time, evens your skin tone out. Basically, gives you a flawless looking skin! It even feels flawless, makes your skin really soft & silky.

BB Cream from other cosmetic brands
About 3 months ago, when my mum came back from Hong Kong she brought back some Hong Kong fashion and beauty magazines for me. Inside I saw cosmetic brands like MAC, Dior, Clinique, Estée Lauder, Biotherm, Bobbi Brown, Neutrogena, Lancome and many more have introduced BB Cream for their Asian customers. (Above and below) The magazine explained that some these brands have added new functions like; oil control, whitening and anti-ageing effect.

I don't think you can buy all these in the UK, only some countries do them. Most probably countries in the east; China, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, etc as they are popular with Oriental women. I went to Debenham's the other day to see if I could find any of these. I just went to the Dior section and they didn't have it. But I', sure they will be available in the UK very soon. Because Garnier has just launched its first B.B. Cream - Miracle Skin Perfector (now you know why I said 'Take Care' in the title because that's Garnier's slogan). Some of you may have already seen it in the stores, magazines, TV or posters.

Like other B.B. Cream it can be used as a foundation, concealer and primer and has UV protection SPF 15 (I personally think that's not enough, at least SPF 25). It keeps the skin hydrated up to 24 hours and illuminates the skin. Garnier describes it as a daily all-in-one B.B. Cream.


I haven't tried it yet, because I still got 2 BB Creams from Missha. If anyone is using it please let me know if its good or not. lol. The B.B. Cream is definitely going to be the next big thing.
