Smashbox BB Cream Review

I have been wanting to try a BB cream FOREVER now but they all have been way to light for me so when I saw Smashbox Camera Ready BB cream at my local Sephora I had to get it!

Like most BB creams, this one also is a multitasking product, it serves as a primer for foundation, if you choose to use foundation with it, it is an oil controller, moisturizer and has an SPF of 35.

I have been using this product everyday for the last two weeks and I LOVE it. I squeeze about a pea size amount of the product onto a clean hand and then dot it all over my face, I then use a stippling brush to stipple it on and then buff it all in.It lasts all day, controls the oil on my face and doesn't feel heavy at all!   The consistency is in between a foundation and a tinted moisturizer, so basically it gives more coverage than a regular tinted moisturizer and less coverage than a regular foundation. I have been using it alone without foundation and it does give me the right amount of coverage. The great thing about this BB cream is that it comes in 4 shade choices so you will be able to find the right one for your skin tone. If you have problem skin than this would be a great primer to use before applying foundation because

1.It will control all the extra oil on your face

and

2. It will make your foundation go on super smooth. Plus you wont have to use as much foundation because the BB cream will help cover problem spots. 

Blended into the left side of my hand.

Im in shade light, just in case anyone cares :)

This product retails for $39 US Dollars for 1oz of product

HAVE YOU TRIED THIS PRODUCT YET? IF SO, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF IT? 

What was I thinking Wednesday

I have a few photos Ill show from High School this first one is of some braids I had put in my hair. I thought it was cool at the time. Looking back at it now, I look stupid, especially with those two little pieces of hair hanging down in my face. Those pieces almost every girl I went to school with had them. I have no idea why?

DO YOU HAVE ANY WHAT WAS I THINKING MOMENTS? FEEL FREE TO SHARE THEM IN THE COMMENTS. :)

Valentines Day Nails



                                               HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!



Image from roseannapiter

Just want to show you guys my nail of the day. Its nothing special but I just got these 2 essie colors today from their 2 of their latest collections.



This pretty fuchsia shade has a hint of pink shimmer to it and is from the essie spring collection



This opaque pastel purple shade is from the Go overboard collection it is slightly darker than most pastel colors and is a perfect spring color to wear!

 


Valentines Day look

I came up with a very subtle look for Valentines Day. Ive never been big on extremely heavy makeup on special days like this because you want your date to see you and how pretty you can be. Not every situation calls for a smokey black club look ya know, plus some guys HATE all of that eye makeup! All you need to complete this makeup is a cute little white dress with a pink blazer or cardigan on top and some nude,pink or white pumps :). If its a more casual date a pair of skinnys, brown or tan boots and a cream sweater with a pastel floral scarf around your neck would be cute too :) The third photo down shows how I would wear my hair with both of those outfits I just mentioned.



Slight bronze to the skin and Bright berry lips




shimmery pink eye and winged out liner



Soft flippy and flirty hair :) Glasses optional...I ran out of contacts so I have to wear them for now
