Rodial BB Venom Skin Tint

  Have you heard?

There’s a new BB cream on the block from the innovative brand that is Rodial.

 

BB Venom Skin Tint is a new product designed to give you flawless skin and a glowing complexion.

Infused with SYN-AKE (a powerful dipeptide) the cream helps to plump skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and contains SPF 15.

As you know, I’ve tried many BB creams and I’m pleased to say that this ranks as one of my favourites.

Rodial BB Venom Skin Tint Swatched: Shade, Hamptons

I love its stylish packaging and its medium coverage, which leaves me feeling a little more concealed than other BB Creams which feel more like moisturisers.

Perfect for my oily skin, the BB Venom Skin Tint managed to keep my complexion matte and gorgeous all day without feeling cakey or drying on my skin.

At £35 it certainly isn’t the cheapest BB Cream on the market, but if your looking for a cream that feels light, gives great coverage and is suitable for oily/combination skin, your onto a winner.

Rodial’s BB Venom Skin Tint is available in 3 shades, Light: Capri, Medium: Hamptons and Dark: St Barts.

Witch Anti-Blemish BB Cream

I’ve been a fan of Witch products since my awkward teen years.

 Affordable and gentle enough to use on my sensitive skin, they were my go to brand when I suffered from breakouts.

 In recent years I’ve found myself bulk buying their cleansing and toning face wipes which get rid of all my make up and leave my skin feeling fresh and clean.

  While I must confess that I have never tried any of their anti-blemish cosmetics, what with all the BB cream hype that’s currently in full flow, I thought I’d start by trying out theirs.

 Firstly, Witch’s Anti-blemish Beauty Balm only comes in 1 shade. 

It’s multi-action formula is designed to cater for all skin tones, though I’m not convinced that it will suit everyone.

 It’s a little too dark to be classed as ‘light’ and yet too light to be classed as ‘medium’.

The cream is really quite thick, so a little really does go a long way.

Despite feeling quite thick and heavy in comparison to other BB creams I’ve tried, when applied to the skin it sinks in quickly and feels surprisingly light.

 I love its medium coverage and feel reassured that like all Witch products, it contains their Witch Hazel Extract to help clear and perfect your skin.

I did find that I needed to apply some finishing powder to keep my shine at bay, but then I’m an oily skinned chick, so that’s to be expected.

 All in all I rather like this cream and with its SPF 15, I feel I can face the world knowing it's working to help clear my skin and protect me from the suns rays.

Witch's BB Cream retails for £6.99 and is available from Boots and Superdrug.

The Body Shop All-In-One BB Cream

Ladies and gents, meet the latest BB Cream offering on the market from The Body Shop

The Body Shop’s All-In-One BB Cream possesses a lightweight formula that provides 24 hour hydration and colour adapts to your skin for a perfect match and smooth finish.

 The innovative formula features pigment filled capsules that burst when applied to the skin, releasing the colour inside.

Despite knowing about the ‘innovative formula’ I still found myself surprised when I squeezed some of the product out on my hand and saw that it was white in colour.

‘what the frick!’ I thought

‘I know I’m pale, but c’mon!’

It wasn’t until I began to rub the cream into my hand that I saw the transformation.

With each stroke of my fingers the cream gradually changed colour.

From a speckled white it turned into a pale flesh colour before finishing up as a gorgeously light, skin tones shade!

Non greasy yet moisturising, the cream felt light on my skin and offered a medium range of coverage.

Available from August the cream comes in 3 shades and retails at £12.

The Sanctuary Skin Perfecting BB Cream

The Sanctuary are the latest brand to jump on the BB cream bandwagon, and I'm rather glad they have.

The Sanctuary Skin Perfecting BB Cream costs £14.99 and is said to moisturise and conceal for a flawless finish.

 

 Oil absorbing silica in the formula balances and even out skin tone to help give a flawless, glowing finish to your complexion. 

This BB cream contains natural oils rich in antioxidants to defend skin from free radicals, includes SPF 15 and smells wonderfully decadent and fresh.

The cream feels rich and moisturising without being greasy or oily, which is perfect for my combination skin.

Available in two shades, light to medium or medium to dark, my only criticism is that the light to medium which i used, was still ever so slightly too dark for my skin. 

That said, the shade will be perfect when i have developed a little colour this spring/summer and light feeling formula with medium coverage is perfect for fresh looking skin this spring.

The Sanctuary Skin Perfecting BB Cream is available now from Boots or The Sanctuary’s website for £14.99 for a 50ml tube.

Boots 17 Bring out their own BB Cream

Boots 17 range is the latest brand to jump on the BB Cream bandwagon.

At £6.99 and available in two shades, Light & Medium, they are offering a cream which is slightly cheaper than the Garnier one (reviewed here)yet promises the same results.

Like other BB creams, 17’s version is said to conceal imperfections, brighten your complexion and help to control oil whilst providing you with a very respectable SPF of 25.

I got on this with cream far better than I did Garnier’s, perhaps because the formula felt much more light weight on my oily skin.

Don’t get me wrong it still had the lovely, creamy feeling, just without being too heavy.

One thing I would say is that I found this version slightly iridescent (though I’m not sure if you can tell this from the images) which whilst giving a lovely ‘glow’ to the skin, would probably be something I could do without as a fan of the matte look.

All in all I’m pretty impressed. It gave a lovely delicate coverage, was light and luxuriously creamy yet natural and created the illusion of flawless skin.

Boots 17 BB Cream is available to buy from November 2^nd. Will you be trying it or are you over the BB hype?
