L'Oreal - Studio Secrets Magic Skin Beautifier B.B. Cream

Hello everyone !

First they came the AA creams, then BB creams and lately I've heard so many brands releasing their new CC creams, but what are all those letters about?

Here's the difference:

AA Cream - stands for Anti-Aging typically in a cream or moisturizer, are used in products that help reduce wrinkles, sagging, discoloration, blemishes, etc.
BB Cream - stands for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm, it's a combination of a moisturizer with the coverage of a foundation that usually helps with other concerns such as fine lines, oiliness, SPF protection, blemishes, primer, etc. I think this are the ones that I've heard about the most.
CC Cream - stands for Color and Care or Color and Correct, basically is an advanced BB cream, they are designed to offer more coverage and moisturize, plus they have anti-aging ingredients.

I've been using for 5 or 6 months the L'Oreal BB Cream, personally it's my favorite one, because I have an oily type skin, and this is perfect for that, I feel other BB creams make my skin even oilier so I was in love with this cream from the very first time I used it!

This is what I've experienced:

I apply it every morning after washing my face, since my skin is oily, immediately I feel that this cream takes away the shine, and creates a perfect base for my foundation.

It comes in 4 different shades: Fair, Light, Medium and Deep.

The cream comes out white and when you start to apply it in your face it blends and transforms into your perfect color! it's so easy to use, after that I apply my makeup as usual.

The main before/after difference is that my face has a flawless base and feels moisturized and protected all day long.

L'Oreal - True Match Super Blendable Crayon Concealer

I really like L'Oreal ! they offer a great variety of products, especially with makeup I can see what's new and what works for my face, I personally think that it's a brand that lets you try new things because they offer products at a good price ! they are not so low-priced but they aren't super expensive either like other brands, so I think it's a good price for the great quality they offer!

I been using the L'Oreal - True Match Super Blendable Crayon Concealer for a few weeks now and I really really like it!

This is what I experienced:

It comes in 6 different shades, I have the W123, blemishes are a BIG concern for me so I was amazed to discover that this crayon blends so smoothly in my skin and covers really well the small red areas, the texture is very soft! I didn't expected that at all because it comes in the form of a crayon but I was pleasantly surprised !

I use the sides of the crayon to cover the dark circles under my eyes so it's good to know that 1 product can do different things ! and it lasts all day !

The main before/after difference is that I can cover all my imperfections with one product ! I will definitely buy it again and again !
