Advent Door 18 - Boots 17 BB Cream

Morning lovelies, hope your well, can't believe that this time next week it will be Christmas day!

I've seen all the hype about BB creams, however I wanted to try it for myself before I actually believed it. So off I wandered to Boots and picked up a tube of the Boots 17 Blemish Balm in medium.

It comes in a really sleek black tube, and you get quite a lot of product for £6.99. Its a smooth creamy liquid that is light on the skin and easily blended. It feels more like a tinted moisturiser but with slightly more coverage, but not as much as a foundation.
 It wears well on the skin and helps me look slightly more awake in the mornings, but it doesnt give as much coverage as I would like for the days that I'm at work, but I live in it during the weekends. To build up the coverage I have been layering it under my Mac Face and Body to make both of these a bit thicker. It does even my skin tone out a lot, but I do still need to use a powder and it can settle into pores.




Sorry for the scare no make up picture!

I would repurchase, but it's more of a summer skin product for me. What do you think? Have you picked it up yet, or tried the other BB creams out at the moment?


Thanks for reading xx

  3. Thanks ladies, I'm not sure how it compares to the Garnier one but I find if I mix it with my Benefit You Rebel light it gives much better coverage! xx
