BB creams were a big thing a few months back, and I tried one out that I received in my birchbox. I loved it! But my little sample is far past gone so I decided to try out a new one. The one in my birchbox was $24 for the full size . . . I decided to try and find a drug store one that worked just as well. I started with my go to cheapo drugstore makeup . . . elf. All of elf products are $1 to $5, and so far I have no complaints with what I’ve used so it was a good place to start. And it had spf in it so that took out a step in my routine . . . even better! Just in case you have been in a whole or forgot or dont’ care, bb creams are there to prime, hydrate, smooth and perfect your skin all while providing a little tint. So it’s like a tinted moisturizer, primer, age fighter all in one.

so far, so good with the elf cream. I really like it and can tell my skin is getting smoother since my little break when my sample ran out. I can however tell a difference in the consistency in the cream, but there’s a $20 difference here between the two. And it’s not clumpy or runny just not as smooth and consistence as the more expensive. no biggie to me.

What about you . . . do you use a bb cream? or maybe a cc or dd cream (those are real things)?
