And here we go again with the BB

I have been wanting to try this BB cream ever since I have heard that Estée Lauder will be launching one. But somehow I never managed to get my hands on it or rather was avoiding it due to the price (not to forget that everything is more expensive anyways). However one day I saw that there was an offer in one of the cosmetic stores and decided to finally give it a go.

The product comes in an elegant packaging with the printed textured Estée Lauder logo on the top. Contrary to the other BB products it does not list all the benefits which I like because I am still not sold that one product can be quite so multitasking. The cream is water based and comes in only 2 shades, light and dark. I was worried that it would be too dark for me since I have a very fair complexion but after I blended it out on the back of my hand I decided I will make it work. 

This BB cream provides an SPF of 35 which in my opinion is great, especially since I live in Israel where where sun shines for the most part of the year. It smells very fresh. When just out of the tube it appears like a thick paste and is quite a bit darker that it actually looks blended out on the face. The content is 30ml so it is the same size like a regular foundation. 

All in all I am very pleased with this product. It has a good coverage, better than my tinted moisturised, and a good lasting power. I was worried that it will make my face as shiny as a disco ball as it happened with other BB creams but the so much dreaded shine stayed away. My skin is quite sensitive but it does not seem to break me out.

The downside for me is the price. Due to its thick consistency it can be a bit harder to blend.

I do not think I will repurchase this BB cream purely because although I liked it it did not wow me and I would not call it a holy grail product but I will definitely use up the tube and enjoy the process.
