I bought this BB cream a while ago at the beginning of summer and was so excited after doing my research and looking up reviews, swatches you name it. So when I was finally ready to purchase my very own BB cream, I just had to get the Smashbox one because it sounded amazing and all the reviews were pretty fantastic.
To say the least, I only have one thing that bothers me about it. I hate the color range or I just simply hate the color I have. The product itself is fantastic and I believe everything it says on the bottle is correct. It says it is a 5-in-1 BB Cream that primes, perfects, protects, hydrates and controls oil. The last part is amazing because I have quite oily skin and every other BB cream that has been reviewed has been said to be quite oily and more for dryer skins because of the hydrating qualities. Needless to say, I did not want to try them.
Now, my problem with this particular BB Cream is that it is so orange on my face!! I am of a medium skin tone with yellow undertones, I do not like products that make me look orange because I am not that dark. I have that problem with a lot of foundations actually, it's just something I have to deal with. Either they are too light or too orange.
This particualrt product makes me look very orange which is disapointing because I do not want to look like an oompa loompa!! And when I got it I thought this was the closest match because the shade in Light was way too light and Medium was too dark so I thought, YES! Finally my perfect shade but sadly I was dissapointed.
Every now and then I pull it out of my drawer and think maybe it will work today but I am disapointed each time.
So my final thoughts are:
It's a great product
Good coverage for those days you dont want heavy foundation
Light-weight and non-greasy
Poor color range
Makes me look orange
Great sleek packaging
Let me know if you guys have tried it and what you think or what your favorite light weight foundation, BB Cream or CC Creams are.
