BB Cream Review

Are all the ads and commotion about the new BB Cream or Blemish Balm cream worth it? 

Recently, one of my friends advised me of using the new BB cream that everyone is going on about and to be honest, I have not regretted buying and using it. BB cream, or Blemish Balm cream is a hybrid between a tinted moisturizer and foundation that is being produced by many make-up brands including Maybelline, MAC, Clinique, Dior, Garnier, Smashbox, Too Faced, L'Oreal and many other trusted make-up brands. The brand I bought and will be reviewing is Maybelline BB Cream which comes only in 3 shades. BB cream is promoted to tackle a handful of skin concerns for  softer and clearer skin. Apparently, this cream that seems like a miracle in a tube, promises to:

(This reveiw applies ONLY to Maybelline BB cream as  I have not tried the other brands  yet)

Blurs imperfections

Brightens

Evens skin-tone

Smooths

Hydrates

Enhances

Protects with SPF 30

0% oils and heavy ingredient

Blurs Imperfection

BB cream doesn't completely blurs the imperfection on my face. These imperfection include blackheads, pimples or scars. However it blurs pimple redness and after a week or so of using the cream, I noticed that some pimples and spots on my face began to lighten.

Brightens

Yes,this cream does brighten your face making your skin a bit lighter and brighter, looking fresh and healthy. This cream would be ideal to those people who usually look sickly yellow to use daily.

Evens Skin-Tone

Definitely! My skin tone goes light on my cheeks and dark around the edges of my face. however, when I started using this product, my skin tone began to even up. This cream also covers and reduces black circles around the eyes.

Smooths

Yes. This product does moisturize your skin, leaving it softer and smoother.

Hydrates and has 0% oils and heavy ingredients

Not really. BB cream is a quite oily and shiny on my face. I brush my face lightly with powder to cover the shininess. Its not a very hydrating product either.

Enhances

I'm not sure what it means by "enhances" but if it means making your face clearer and lighter than that's true.

Protects with SPF 30

This product does protect with SPF 30 which makes it ideal for summer uses.

Overall: This product is ideal to put on before putting on heavier make up as it also works as a primer. This product also saves you so much money as it works as a sun screen, primer, tinted moisturizer and skin toner. I would give this product a rate of 7.5/10.

Tip: Brush your face lightly with powder so your face wouldn't look oily and shiny later in the day.

Cute. Casual. Classy

Hey Everyone! This is the first outfit I have put together. Hope you like it <3 Don't forget to comment what you think.

Flaunt it while you got it..?

Who said flaunting your body and making yourself looking cheap to people's eyes is attractive? It seems like these days, walking around half naked is something more respectful and ladylike than covering yourself with a head scarf..and as a result people accuse you to take your head scarf off and dress more like a stripper. Not to mention the sympathy you get from some people thinking that you are being forced to cover yourself.  Yep, this is how stupid society is sometimes. If you have the right to walk around half naked, you also have all the right to walk around covered. I have experienced all that as a Muslim girl who covers and respects herself and body.

All my respect to the Muslim girls that respect their bodies and selves by covering their bodies from unworthy eyes. Stay tuned for my next post of how to dress modestly but in a stylish way.

My First Post

Hey everyone! I have always wanted to write my very own blog, but for lack of time, I never did until now. Let me introduce my self...my name will be ZoZa (which isn't my real name of course) an Arabic, Muslim school girl who  enjoys anything that involves expressing your self. I always had a passion for fashion, make up, modelling, and anything that involves beauty. Looking after the way you look and the way you dress is something very important in my opinion, and very fun! After all, you firstly get judged on your appearance. I have made this blog mainly to improve my writing skills and share my fashion and beauty tips. Well..that's about it! Quite a boring intro, but anyway its only the beginning :) I hope you enjoy my posts and dont forget to like and comment <3
