L’Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream Review

L’Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream - 4 Beautifying Actions in 1:  Hydrates, Primes, Perfects, Corrects.

I had the opportunity to try Magic BB Cream made by  L’Oréal Paris.  I received a full sized sample of the BB Cream in Medium 814. This was my first experience using a BB Cream and I was pleasantly surprised. By nature, I am a skeptic when it comes to product claims.  It's one of the reasons that makes product reviews fun for me.  I love when my skepticism is silenced.  This product works.  I like the effect.  The product dispenses as an ultra light lotion which is white in color and has barely visible "beatifying beads". After application the product adjusts to your coloration.

I like that the end result it is a light finish because for day to day use I prefer not to look (or feel) overly made up.  The bare skin finish is perfect.  If I could change anything about the product I would only request MORE hydrating properties.  Since I am  41 years old young, my skin now requires a touch more moisturization than what this product offered to me.

I will likely purchase this product in the future.  I did scope out 2 of my local retailers just to make sure that I can get more should the need arise.  I didn't stock up because I am on a self imposed spending hiatus until after Easter.

Do you use BB cream? I'd love to know what's in your makeup bag!

Found! Available at Walgreen's $11.49

Found! Available at Target $7.99

I'd like to share a few words from L’Oréal Paris about their product:

L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream: This product gives the sheer coverage needed to create a natural bare skin finish, while delivering built-in skincare benefits. With four beautifying actions, this all-in-one innovation primes and smoothes, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all-day, and corrects and evens skin. The product is infused with skincare ingredients like Panthenol, Vitamin E and Glycerin for 24-hour moisturization.

To apply, simply dot on and blend with fingertips. Self-adjusting beads will instantly transform and blend to your skin tone.

L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream retails for $10.95 for 1 fl oz. It is available in four shades and is sold at mass food and drug retailers nationwide.

Influenster Holiday VoxBox Shipping December 7

Photo credit: Influenster on Facebook

It will just be a matter of DAYS now until I get my Holiday VoxBox full of goodies.  A shipment will be made TOMORROW!  Many of my Influenster "sisters" and I have been EAGERLY awaiting some fun products to try out.  Some may be receiving theirs sooner than others. My travel distance may be a little further than some. So being the first one on the block is not likely.  Which is OK with me. The items are being shipped from New York, NY to Chicago, IL, then to my destination - San Diego, CA.  Since this is my 2nd VoxBox, I know that they usually are sent via USPS.  I'll be on the lookout in the next couple of days.  I am hoping for a sneak peak from those Influensters that reside closer to Illinois & will get their packages first!
