I've been using BB creams more recently and I like how much better my skin feels vs wearing foundation. I got a sample of smashbox BB cream in my Ipsy bag this month and I do really like it. I'm on Ultas website now and debating on what to pick. What is your favorite BB or CC cream?
My favorites are the Korean brands. Skin 79 Pink is my favorite. It has a grey tone and is very similar to the Dr Jart one only way cheaper. I find them on Amazon.
I am curious about la Roche posay BB blur, UD one and done, bareminerals complexion rescue, and so many more. I really wish more companies sold travel size products.
I have tried a lot but the one I always come back to is Pacifica CC. It can be tricky to find now for some reason.. my Whole Foods and Target stopped carrying it but Sprouts still has it. I like their BB too but prefer the CC.

Tarte BB primer - which i wear as foundation not primer. Though I tried it as primer one and it was nice but way too much under something else.
Also IT Cosmetics CC cream. LOVE THE STUFF. I'm patiently waiting for QVC to sell the jumbo size again while I work through some of the other foundations I have.

Another vote for the IT Cosmetics CC cream. It has very good coverage, but my skin looks like skin when I wear it. The only issue I have is its staying power, but for quick makeup looks its perfect.

I like IT Cosmetics CC Cream the best of the ones I've tried.
Bare Minerals Complexion Correction is nice, but there is minimal coverage (at least for me) and the staying power is not great. I can only use it in winter as it doesn't work at all with my oily skin in the summer; it runs right off my face.

I tried the Maybelline Dream BB Cream today. It's nice, but doesn't offer much coverage and didn't cover my redness well. I'll probably save it for summer.
So I grabbed a mini It CC cream last night at ulta. I also put the la Roche posay bb blur on my hand. The texture was amazing, very mousse like. They only had one shade light/medium and it came out of the bottle looking like bronzer. I thought it was ridiculous. It did somehow manage to blend perfectly into my pasty white winter skin after a second. It was really weird honestly. I would like to try the lighter shade, but I am definitely interested in grabbing it on sale when I get a chance. Too cheap to spend 30 on "drugstore" brands. Lol

Erborian BB cream as well. Their shade range is basically non-existent (2 shades, both on the lighter side), but if one of the 2 work for you, I love the formula, coverage and wear time. It is the only BB cream I have ever repurchased.
I'm on my 4th tube of Dr. Jart BB Dis-A-Pore Beauty Balm. That and the one in the champagne tube are my favorites. I like the Tarte one, too, though it's really thick, more like a foundation but more forgiving to apply, IMO.
So I wore the It CC cream today for the first time and got multiple compliments from coworkers on how great my skin looked today. Not my makeup, my skin. I am sold. Though I do want to try erborian everything.
If you wear the Tarte primer CC cream do you notice that it kind of dulls your skin? I love how the coverage is so natural but I lose some of the glow my skin naturally has.
Well not naturally, after a lot of work with skin care! LOl
