    L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream

    I was thrilled to hear that SheSpeaks teamed up with L’Oréal and they were sending me a tube of their L’Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream to try!  It is available in four shades (Deep, Fair, Light, and Medium).  I received a tube of the light L’Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream.

    “L’Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream 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.”

    • Enhances skin’s 6 dimensions of flawless skin in 1 magic BB (BB stands for Beautifying Beads)
    • Encapsulated pigments self-adjust to skin to unify and blend perfectly
    • Ultra-light and hydrating for weightless, blends completely in with skin for an invisible coverage
    • Micro-infuses your skin with continuous and complete care

    To apply, simply dot on and blend with fingertips or a cosmetic sponge. L’Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream’s self-adjusting beads will instantly transform and blend to your skin tone.

    The first time I used L’Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream I was surprised when it came out white.  The little Beautifying Beads (BB) really do transform when you rub them onto your skin to match your skin tone.  It does seem to stay on better and moisturizes my skin while not making it oily.  The cream is very light weight (almost like your not wearing anything) and it didn’t take very much to do my entire face.  I have worn it alone and with a touch of my mineral powder foundation.

    I would like to see them add sunscreen to it (if possible).  If you are planning on being out in the sun you should probably put on sunscreen first and let it soak in before applying the L’Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream.  The other thing that could have been better for me was that the shade I received was slightly darker than the foundation I was wearing previously, but it wasn’t too dark I couldn’t wear it.
