I wanted to type out a quick little bloggy blog post about something I've been currently obsessed with!
But before I get to that I wanted to share with you what I have been doing for the past couple of weeks...MOVING!!! I have been moving my stuff, packing, cleaning, trying to figure out my life.
These bins be full of makeup... #problems.
Although no excuse for my blogging absence, I am the definition of unmotivated of late... Moving will do that to you!
Alright alright, I'm moving on from my complaining to share the actual point of this post... MY OBSESSION! To preface, I love to use different kinds of makeup products all the time. I never stick to just one this or one that, but I have used the SAME foundation for the past 7 MONTHS every single day! This is saying something people! Also, while using it I get compliments on my skin. This. Never. Happens. So to finally introduce, I'm talking about this bad boy right here:
Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream (My shade is Medium)
I use a dime size amount applied with my hands over my Origins Vitazing moisturizer and I set with a light dusting of powder. It leaves the most beautiful finish, my skin truly looks "glowing" but not oily, which is a hard combination to achieve! This foundation stood up to the hot and humid climate in Puerto Rico and has been performing great back home in Texas!
I've experience no sensitivity or breakouts from consistent use which is a definite plus!! And the sunscreen is an added benefit of course!
Who would I recommend this foundation to?
This foundation is for someone who is looking for medium coverage and is not excessively oily. I would consider this a "day-time" foundation that is comfortable to wear but if you are looking for a "flawless"or "full-coverage" look this is not the foundation for you. It looks best when applied with hands so it is definitely a low maintenance foundation great for the on the go girl! (Like me!)
Is it long lasting?
I find the coverage to be a full 8 hours, but sometimes I experience some break down because of oil later in the day. It is necessary (in my opinion) to set this foundation with powder.
Is it full coverage?
It is a solid medium coverage and can be built up to a medium/full coverage due to the thin consistency of the formula.
Where can you buy it?
Sold anywhere Smashbox is carried! I purchased mine at Sephora. And it's a fantastic investment: my bottle is still going strong after 7 months!
I hope y'all found this helpful!
I want to know:
Have you hopped on the BB train? What are your feelings about switching up your foundations- do you stick with one or switch around?
Take care!
