I bought this BB cream after hearing raving reviews regarding it on youtube. My skin is combination and pretty acne prone around the Tzone. The BB cream comes in different sized tubes, I got the smaller one for roughly £7 on ebay. When it arrived I was suprised by how small the tube was ( However it was purchased roughly 8 months ago I still have loads left and I use it basically every day)
The consistancy of the foundation itself is quite oily, however its very pigmented and is the ONLY product so far that actually covers up the redness of my acne. I use a pea sized amount and it covers redness on my whole face which is brilliant. It is quite oily- however when properly blended and set with a powder this isn't a problem whatsoever. To be honest I'd say this is the only product I turn to when my skin's gone to crap. It actually covers redness and spots well and i've been told that my skin looks improved when i'm wearing it.
HOWEVER, it does have some drawbacks. The product claims to improve your skin over time, i've been using it for 8 months and I can honestly say it hasn't done this. I still have acne and it hasn't lightened my skin at all ( like it claims to ) but this personally isn't a problem for me-- i'm happy as long as it covers and the pigmentation is excellent. The only other drawback with the product is how it looks after a days wear. The product doesn't stick to my skin, especially on my forehead, leaving a sort of greasy, cakey mess. It doesn't last all day without re applying and can feel quite heavy and thick on your skin.
DESPITE THIS I will still 100% continue to use the product. The colour ( I am pale and use shade 21) is PERFECT for me, a little of this product goes a long way and it lasts AGES, it has great coverage and its reasonably inexpensive. Another added bonus is the SPF which has proved really useful during the recent heat spell and stopped my skin from burning which is fab.
if you are acne prone and want a product that will COVER without using huge amounts then this is for you. Its probably a must have for me right now and I use it every day

OOTD
(please exuse the duck face...ahah)
so as the weather's been really bloody beautiful recently, i decided today that i was going to wear my long skirt pleated skirt (as purchased from a charity shop £3!!!) i love long skirts but i just don't have the courage to wear them out in public as I feel like I can't really pull it off- but yeah, this is todays outfit :~) the material of the skirt is gorgeous, really tight pleats and the belt is tiny, it will only fit around my waist (sadly as i've wanted to wear it with shorts around my hips many times) but its chunky and i like it
hopefully later i'm going to go and buy MAC 'prolong wear' concealer as with exams and my terrible diet, my skins gone a bit acne prone. I've read that this concealer has got great coverage, and although its expensive I think i'm going to go for it + give it a try, fingers crossed i'm not dissapointed eh!? i'll do a review tommorow, ciao xox

a little introduction!
well, i'm quite new to this, so I havent really got a clue what i'm doing. I decided yesterday evening that I want to start blogging. I do have a tumblr, but its not really the right sort of place for me to talk about fashion/beauty/art and all the things i'm interested in without being judged ect!
so this is my first post, i'll say hello. My name's Lauren and I'm seventeen years old. I am in sixth form at the moment studying art, english lit and history, hopefully on this blog i'll post my every day outfits, review beauty products and just generally vlog about ma life!
have a lovely day
