Sorry for the delay folks... BB Creams--- WHERE to start?!?
I guess I will start by saything that they do NOT cover like primier/foundation/concealer. BUT they act more like a tinted moisturizer. I think on 16 year old skin, a BB cream is more than enough... on 31 year old skin... you need a little more help!
I do wear a BB cream when I am just "running out for milk" and don't want a bare face, but don't want to do my make-up either.
I have used Garnier, Maybelline, L'Oreal, Clinique and Avon. To me, they all smell funny. But, if I had to chose a favorite it would be the L'Oreal(product + price). If you can afford to splurge, go with the Clinque :)
A friendly tip: A LITTLE goes a Loooooong way. Too much, and you end up looking like an oragne cake. LOL!!
Hope this helps couponandoff :)

Re: what bb creme??
I am soooo pumped for the Olay CC cream they're releasing soon! I'm an Olay gal all the way.... Although if I could afford it I'd probably use the brands my mommy and Grandma use: Clinique and Lancome. Classy ladies :)

I bought the Marcelle BB cream in medium-dark in August. I would say it's similar to a tinted moisturizer with slightly more coverage. My skin is combination (slightly oily t-zone, dry cheeks) and sensitive. It doesn't have an offensive smell. However I do have some broken capillaries and redness due to sensitivity. So I usually need to apply a concealer over top. It is quite moisturizing so even my dry areas feel somewhat dewy. Usually I apply powder to my tzone only but with this I need to lightly apply powder all over, otherwise it can be quite dewy. When winter approaches, and my skin becomes more dry, I may not need to powder the other areas as much. The color is on the neutral side which I like. I hate tinted moisturizers or foundations that have pink, peach or strong yellow tones. I like this product, however if I'm in a hurry, I would rather have a light weight foundation that covers everything at once. Instead of taking the extra time to apply concealer to areas. I have experienced zero problems with regards to breaking out.

I've tried the loreal and garnier bbcreams and to be honest they're a bit oily and the perfume smell is really strong...a true bb cream in the Asian sense has a high SPF usually 30+ and comes with a lot of supposed benefits but they're all white and leave a greyish cast on skin that isn't porcelain...I feel the drugstore sheeer foundations are better competitors to these Bb creams and I think if anyone is in the market for a bb/tinted moisturizer from high end then the lise watier 3D hydration tinted veil is amazing! It is sheer but gives my skin enough natural coverage and lasts pretty long...I couldn't stop staring at my skin it made it look so healthy and glowy...I'm waiting for a sale of some sort but I'm so tempted to just give in and buy its cheaper than most high end tints...$35 for 40 ml

what bb creme??
I've used the Marcelle BB cream. It was a full size freebie from the company. Can't remember what the promo was, this was probably like a year ago?
