It is light as a feather, with a smooth texture, and the various pigments do their job. I found mine at a sale at Dischem, but wondering where else I can buy in future as Clicks no longer stock it. If I do find more will buy as many as possible. ]]> Wed, 06 Feb 2019 05:33:20 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/revlon-age-defying-cc-cream-color-corrector-medium/discussions/35252/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/revlon-age-defying-cc-cream-color-corrector-medium/discussions/35252/ This product has been around for some time but I only just decided to give it a try because I really love revlon products.. A big plus is the spf of 30. Also the shades available make sure that every women finds one suitable for her skin tone. The cream itself is not thick yet not runny so that would make it of a medium consistency. It applies very well but I find for me it takes a while to settle it, it also feels a little tacky on my skin.. Don't much care for that feeling. I still give it a thumbs up because it gives a nice glow to my face and also it has a bit of coverage so you can use it on its own if you want to skip foundation. I use it then apply some powder and voila, good to go! About its anti aging properties, well its early days yet but fingers crossed.. I will do a follow up on whether I see any difference in this respect. One more aspect I remembered is that it's not heavily scented which recently I've been appreciating alot with products.. I've developed a sensitivity to heavily fragranced creams etc so I'm happy that this is just mildly scented. xoxo ]]> Fri, 26 Jan 2018 06:22:25 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/34617/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/34617/ This product works well when you dont want to use foundation on a daily use. It's perfect when you looking for that clear fresh look but not in the mood for foundation. The addition of SPF was a great idea. Love this stuff. ]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2017 08:57:14 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/woolworths-cc-cream-spf20/discussions/32279/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/woolworths-cc-cream-spf20/discussions/32279/ I bought this product for my mother, and when she tried it on the outcome was truly amazing that I went to woolworths and ended up buying the same one for myself the following day, It doesn't leave my skin dry and it hydrates it well.

Neutrogena claims that their CC cream instantly covers spots and breakout marks while helping to correct them and I absolutely agree with them! I have been one who has suffered from breakouts since puberty, although not to the point where it would be considered acne. When I first came across this product I was both scared and excited by the claims, but I thought what the heck let's give it a try. I purchased mine at clicks for R99,95 in the shade light. Let's just say this product definitely doesn't win on first impressions. The consistency is quiet thin at first but thickens very quickly, it's quiet a hard product to work with if you aren't used to it. Easily covers small, light spots and pigmentation but won't cover big, red spots and very dark pigmentation. After using this product for little over a month I am obsessed. Every morning after I washed my face and applied toner, I would apply a little primer to my nose because I do have dry skin on my nose, then I would go on to apply the CC cream I found the best way was to warm it up in between your fingers and apply it on as you would with moisturizer. After all is done then I would apply a small amount of powder to my forehead and chin. At first, I didn't notice any results, but I fell in love with it, therefore I started wearing the CC cream nearly every single day. After about a week I decided to get the Neutrogena visibly clear complexion scrub and this is when I started noticing results, after the 3rd week I noticed my skin was clearing up and my breakout were becoming much lighter and even better people were commenting on how amazing my skin is looking. This product saved my skin! Definitely worth the buy. ]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2017 10:08:53 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/eucerin-sun-cc-creme/discussions/31651/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/eucerin-sun-cc-creme/discussions/31651/ This product has left me speechless. I LOVE IT! And it really makes me think how was I living without it all along. If you're anything like me, wearing makeup in summer is a nightmare, your face feels like it's melting and all you want to do is take a wipe and remove it all in a swift move. Well not this summer! The consistency is thin and lightweight with a creamy texture that provides a full coverage! The CC cream is tinted and makes your skin look dewy and gives it a natural glow -this is what you want, did I hear a YASSS. And the best part is that it has an SPF 50 +! Thus there is no need to use an additional Sun Cream as a base before applying your makeup. This product has become a must have for me! I've replaced all my Foundations and BB Creams with it and this is what I'll be using during the unbearable heat. I'm pretty sure this product is magical and unicorns probably use it in a fantasy world, but lucky you, you can find it at my favorite stores Clicks or Dischem for R189.99 ]]> Mon, 21 Nov 2016 13:54:00 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/31472/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/31472/ I have used the Neutrogena visibly clear CC cream in Medium a few times now and this CC cream is a really great every day product for lightweight coverage. I save the heavier makeup for special occasions so this CC cream is perfect to create an even skin tone and tone down any skin flare ups! The consistency is just right and the packaging is user friendly too. ]]> Thu, 10 Nov 2016 09:09:07 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/31106/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/31106/ This is a must have.

After a quick and easy application of the product, my initial feelings are that it is light and simple to use. This product however is not meant to fully cover every blemish but does offer lightweight coverage and healing in the process. It is a pity that the product is only available in two shades, light and medium but maybe they'll consider expanding the colour spectrum. I am currently using another brand of CC Cream but I can say with full confidence that Visibly Clear® Correct & Perfect CC Cream knocks it out the park! I'm planning on switching immediately and have to purchase the Complexion Scrub to use in conjunction with this beautiful product. I can only imagine what the total outcome of my newly treated skin would be. I am eager to see the results! ]]> Mon, 31 Oct 2016 07:01:02 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/smashbox-camera-ready-cc-cream/discussions/30460/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/smashbox-camera-ready-cc-cream/discussions/30460/ Another great product. This provides coverage, but blends into the skin so well and is therefore virtually undetectable. It also feels very lightweight on the skin. It is neither matte nor dewy, but rather a hybrid of both. It does have a sunscreen scent and a rather thick consistency, but you can blend this for days. It does not leave any streaks and you do not need to blend it down the neck as it really just takes on the tone of your skin and is very forgiving. I use it in conjunction with the Photo Filter Powder Foundation and Photo Finish Primer. The combination of these 3 products is fantastic! I will definitely purchase this BB again. ]]> Thu, 01 Sep 2016 15:07:24 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/revlon-age-defying-cc-cream-color-corrector-medium/discussions/30369/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/revlon-age-defying-cc-cream-color-corrector-medium/discussions/30369/ This Revlon age defying CC cream contains SPF30 which protects your skin from sun damage. Based on research it also minimises the appearance of dark spots and fine lines. This product has been defined as “a powerhouse against the first signs of aging” if you have used this product how would you define it? ]]> Mon, 22 Aug 2016 09:53:43 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30042/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30042/ I honestly have never been a fan of CC creams, I have always preferred a full on foundation, none the less there are days where I want something on my face, but lightweight. I have never found the perfect product for this until now. Neutrogena Visibly Clear Correct & Perfect CC Cream is definitely worth the purchase, it does make the skin look healthy and dewy, it won't cover every spot but that's also not the products purpose. If you are looking for a lightweight product that will make your skin healthier in the process then this is the perfect product for you! Absolutely love it!! ]]> Sun, 24 Jul 2016 22:31:59 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30031/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30031/ I've always been a fan of BB creams,so when the CC cream came through I was beyond excited. The neutrogena CC cream definitely delivers when it comes to correcting spots and breakout marks.I just always had to add a bit of make-up to it so that my face doesn't look grey and ashy. I just wish there was one that was just one shade darker than medium.But overall I do use it on a daily basis and have no problem with it. ]]> Thu, 21 Jul 2016 11:10:14 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30030/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30030/ I did a review on this previously and I'm doing another because you ladies have to know how good this product really is! If you're like me and you love make-up but wearing foundation is sometimes just too heavy on your skin during the day then this is the product to use. This product works with the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Correct and Perfect Complexion Scrub and you have to use both hand in hand to achieve the best possible results. Whilst making my skin look soft and natural, it helped renew my skin from uneven skin tone and improved my complexion after my skin was damaged by chlorine (from the pool) and sun exposure. This product was very consistent unlike other products that works one day and then makes your skin worst the very next day. I've been using it ever since I've received it from Beauty Bulletin and I'm honestly happy with the product. It just works perfectly for my skin and it was the first time that I've used a CC cream. Try it out if you have uneven skin tone, it doesn't even make your skin look oily neither does it make your skin dry. It also helps to improve your perfect complexion, your "real" complexion. There's other products on the market that aims to whiten your skin and then destroy your skin cells. Honestly, you cannot whiten your skin if you wasn't born with that specific skin tone and with this product, it helps you achieve the skin tone you was born with by correcting the blemishes and uneven tone by making it even and beautiful. I love my skin now and if you use this product, you'd love it too. ]]> Thu, 21 Jul 2016 10:39:05 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30022/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30022/ Hey loves, I go by the name of Nanilethu a 24 year old who suffers from skin breakouts. Like most woman, who suffer from skin problems I am always on a mission to find the best skin products to help prevent/heal my spots and pimples. So I was so excited when I got the chance to review this product. The Neutrogena CC cream promises to instantly cover spots and marks,while helping to correct them. I totally agree with their promise. This product has saved my skin, I am inlove with it. The CC cream is available in two shades Medium and Light, I received the shade medium and it matched my skin tone. It took about three weeks for me to notice a complete change. What I love most about the CC cream is that after I've applied it on it gives me a glow and I don't use makeup during the day now. The spots that I suffer from have also started to fade away. It is available at Clicks, Foschini,Dischem and selected pharmacies. The CC cream sells for R99.95 and the complexion scrub also sells for R99.95. #Seewhatspossible ]]> Wed, 20 Jul 2016 16:40:16 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30019/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/30019/ This product comes in a medium and light shade and the one I received was in medium. I however was quite disappointed in this product to the point where I could no longer use it as it went on very uneven and didn't blend well at all. It left me with orange patches on my face and made my skin feel quite oily. Perhaps it would work for a darker skin tone and a different skin type but definitely not something I'll use again. ]]> Tue, 19 Jul 2016 14:13:40 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29990/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29990/ The CC cream that I received was in the shade medium. This CC cream was created to give you a light coverage whilst actively working on your complexion. The formula is super light weight and makes me feel as if I am not wearing anything on my face which is wonderful! I think this would be perfect for summer when you don’t want to over do your foundation because it might melt or look and feel too heavy. Because the CC cream was a little too dark for my skin and when I needed more coverage I paired it with a foundation that I have which is in a lighter shad and is also very lightweight – this just helped me to get the coverage that I needed. I found that this product dries extremely fast and doesn’t apply well with a beauty blender so as soon as I apply the CC cream I immediately use a flat kabuki brush and buff it in, which works perfectly. These products are very impressive and have become one of my all time favourites! I will definitely continue using this because it is clearly working for me and it is so affordable too. All products in the range is R99,95 each at selected Clicks, Dis-Chem, Foschini, Pick ‘n Pay and Checkers. Also available on Takealot.com. ]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2016 15:12:40 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29977/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29977/ The CC Cream is available in Light and Medium. When used in combination with the Complexion Scrub, it aids the process of better and healthier looking skin. The CC cream helps to instantly cover imperfections and it is oil free, lightweight and acts as a concealer. The best character trait about the CC cream is that is blends beautifully with my skin. The CC cream is also made with patented micro-clear technology. What this means is that it helps to repair your skin from the inside out, leaving your skin better looking day by day. The CC Cream is designed to cover imperfections, helps to correct spots as well as cover fade marks. The Neutrogena Visibly Clear Correct and Perfect CC Cream is available in the 50 ml at Clicks for a low price of R99.95.

The price is slightly steeper from my normal CC cream but I figured Ii should be worth it? Anyway, I found the application with my fingers very easy and smooth but coverage was not soo great and every time I apply I ended up wiping off what was previously applied. Little bit of a mess but anyway...... The cream is not very heavy and it's probably best not to wear this for the entire day because you might end up having to re-apply. It is a good product but can never be compared with a good quality longwear foundation. I am keeping this for those not so busy days when I need a make up touch up! ]]> Thu, 14 Jul 2016 07:30:21 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29942/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29942/ I really was expecting more from this CC Cream. It did cover some of my spots and imperfections but I feel that a concealer would do a better job. I was also dissapointed that there isn't a darker shade for African ladies. I will not be able to use this CC Cream on it's own unless I am at home over a weekend. It just doesn't cover enough for me. However I would suggest this product to ladies who like a lightweight product and don't like to wear lots of foundation. It blended well with my skin but I had to apply quite a lot for it to be effective. Overall I was not impressed at all and I was expecting much more from a leading brand. ]]> Wed, 13 Jul 2016 11:51:32 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29925/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29925/ My favourite product of the month, the CC Cream! I'm currently using the medium shade. This cream has a dual action in that: It instantly covers spots and acne scarring and It helps to fade away and correct dark marks. I no long use foundation every day, just sunblock and then I apply the CC cream. I've found that it instantly brightens my complexion and that my skin is looking much clearer than when I first started using the product. The cream is super easy to apply, it's like putting on a moisturiser and it blends perfectly to match my skin tone. It may look a little dark but once applied to the skin it does blend in well and matches my face and neck perfectly. It's oil free which works perfectly for my skin type as I have a very oily T zone. I don't have to apply powder to remove shine at all now. This is a really convenient product, especially for ladies who travel a lot, instead of carrying a moisturiser AND foundation, you'll have 1 product that does the job of 2 in your makeup bag. I feel much more confident every day now that I don't have to wear tons of foundation and concealer to hide dark spots and breakouts. ]]> Tue, 12 Jul 2016 15:07:11 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29909/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29909/ I love this CC cream. It is velvety smooth and it doesn't dry too quickly for me. It blends very well into my skin and gives my skin a matte look. It also gives my face a more even skin tone and doesn't start to "melt" off my face as the day progresses. It is very sheer so it doesn't completely conceal pimples but it does reduce the redness of them. The cc cream is very light, breathable and doesn't make my skin feel heavy. ]]> Mon, 11 Jul 2016 11:38:18 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29903/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29903/ I enjoyed using the product, it has revealed an even skin tone.My skin looks brighter and I have a clear complexion.My skin is more prone to oiliness and acne,and using the product,all those problems have been reduced. I would recommend this product. ]]> Mon, 11 Jul 2016 09:29:30 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29873/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29873/ I really enjoy this product. The lightweight formula offers sheer, natural coverage and the ingredients promise not to further exacerbate break outs or cause new ones. I found the coverage perfect for "no-makeup" days. The main downside of this product is the limited shade range - to launch an item in South Africa where only two shades (light & medium) are available is poor planning. I'm lucky that I am fair so the shade 'light' worked very well for me and I'm wearing it today as I sit typing this, but I wish the shade range would widen. ]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2016 09:57:14 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29867/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29867/ I enjoyed using the CC cream as it helped to even out my complexion and give light coverage to the marks I have after breaking out a few days ago. I do, however, feel that it is quite limited. The CC cream only comes in two shades (light and medium) and I think there should be a dark shade to cater for all the melanin beauties. I also feel that it is a bit pricey for the size but overall, it is a great product especially if you have oily or combination skin. ]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2016 06:09:17 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29865/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29865/ Okay. I was 50/50 about the product. It did perfect and even my skin tone, however it made me look ashy as the shade was not for me (medium) this is disappointing as it is not the darkest shade yet in the scheme of things I am not even that dark. I doubt anyone my shade and darker and probably two shades lighter would be able to use this product. Does its job, but not for me. ]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 19:11:54 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29858/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29858/ Starting off with the shade, it was slightly too dark for my current skin colour - I am not nearly as tanned now that it is winter. It did have the right undertones for my skin, which meant I could blend it out nicely. Whilst it was extremely bendable, I found it became patchy quickly. I also found that it had minimal coverage when compared to other CC creams I have used. I had to use a few layers of the product before I achieved the desired affect. I did like the fact that it wasn't oily or drying - I have a combination skin and it's usually hard to find products that work nicely. I probably won't buy this products again, but I would recommend it for beginners and people who don't like wearing lots of makeup. ]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 14:26:23 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/eucerin-sun-cc-creme/discussions/29856/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/eucerin-sun-cc-creme/discussions/29856/ If you're an avid beauty lover, sometimes summer is not your best friend. The heat means foundation melts, lipstick smears and mascara streaks which can be quite disheartening when you're trying to enjoy the sunshine. I particularly have a hard time when friends suggest beach days as the sun + swimming mean that minimal makeup is the most convenient, but not always the most flattering. Enter the Eucerin CC Creme! This is SPF 50, which is perfect for my paler than pale skin and it ensures I won't have any sun damage to contend with as I age. This product is also tinted to offer some coverage for those of us who want it. The formula is quite thick and applies like a sun screen, this means it can sometimes cling to drier areas - I've found the best way to combat this is to apply the CC creme with a brush or a sponge, the way you would a normal foundation. Unfortunately the shade range is not very wide and I've only ever seen the shade fair. I am very pale and this does add more of a bronze tint to my face which means I have to bring it quite far down my neck, but I don't mind this. I would definitely recommend picking this up if you need an essential for the outdoors that offers natural coverage AND intense sun protection! ]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:18:35 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29852/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29852/ When I didn't have the desired effect from the face scrub, I was very skeptical to try out the CC Cream. I had to bite the bullet and apply the product when I filmed and I was really impressed. I loved the consistency, did not have any trouble with application and when I set it, I loved how lightweight it felt because I'm not a fan of very heavy foundation. I would love to use this again in a video for future reference so make sure you're subscribed to my YouTube channel to see that. Once again, thanks to Beauty Bulletin for the product. ]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 10:20:02 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29843/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29843/ I have very olive skin and found that the medium had a perfect undertone for my complexion. I did find that for me, the consistency was quiet thick as I do not wear any other makeup. When using it, I apply it in small dots around my face and rub it in. I find thats the best way to achieve an even, thin layer without looking washed out. I personally wouldn't buy this product again but I would recommend it to something with oily or combination skin. ]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 08:14:06 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29841/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29841/ I have dry skin and i felt that the product when i applied it to my face would make my skin look dry and patchy. I felt that it would be better suited on a person with oily skin because it has a matte finish. I also didn't like that it only came in two shades being the light and medium , it definitely should be available to every skin tone. I would suggest that the CC Cream would cater to every skin type ( Dry, Oily and Combination) ]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2016 06:20:16 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29838/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29838/ I have got a little bit of a dry skin. Product was realy difficult to apply and would dry patchy on my skin. Also feel that this is very limited as there is only light and medium, no dark for ethnic beauties out there. R99,95 for a 50ml is a bit steep I would say. Although it did blur out imperfections. Was just not the right product for my skin ]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2016 22:25:25 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29785/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29785/ This was my first experience with a CC Cream and was glad I tried it . This Cc has repairing properties so not only covers imperfections but leaves your skin in a better condition. My favourite part of this cream is the fact that you have perfect coverage without a greasy finish as this is 100% oil free. The coverage is amazing and not heavy on ones skin. A necessity! ]]> Fri, 01 Jul 2016 20:13:13 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29715/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/neutrogena-visibly-clear-correct-and-perfect-cc-cream/discussions/29715/ Over the weekend I had pinched my pimples due to the continuous annoyance of blackheads. If you have oily skin then I'm sure you can relate. However, I received the Neutrogena CC creams and it instantly had a beautiful effect on my skin. I'm not one to exaggerate but this combo is amaaazing! If it worked from day one then I'm sure it's going to work always. If I'm not here to submit another review then please note that these products really worked if not then I'll do another review to share my disappointment. I will be posting pictures in a few days where you can see my skin.

The product is not greasy at all and provides the light coverage o need for daily wear. And best of all it has an spf of 50!!! Which means I don't have to worry about layering sunscreen before! It comes in a purse size tube which is very convenient as well. Only need a pea sized amount of the product so it lasts very long too! ]]> Fri, 08 Apr 2016 16:17:48 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-all-in-one-cc-cream/discussions/27872/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-all-in-one-cc-cream/discussions/27872/ A little while ago I was sent this CC cream to try. I am rather partial to another brand and didn't think I would want to use a different one. When I opened the tube the colour looked really dark, too dark for me, but when I actually applied it, it blended perfectly into my natural skintone. This particular product is slightly drying for me and it doesn't apply as smoothly as the other brand I am used to so you really need to use a primer or makeup base, but it gives very good coverage without feeling cakey. It corrects dark spots and redness very well and is enough to give me a fresh look without applying concealer or foundation. I wear it to work daily and my makeup looks beautifully finished off but still very natural and barely there. It allows my freckles to peek through which I like, but that may not be everybodies cup of tea. The biggest thing for me with this is the price and that it goes a long way. Also of course the fact that it does what it says. It clears and correct uneveness on my skin but keeps it looking natural and smooth. I also really like the fact that it has an SPF of 30 so no need to add a sunscreen. I am sure I will buy this product again. ]]> Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:09:18 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/27256/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/27256/ At first blush Yardley seems to offer quite a lot with this product they claim it - covers, actively improves your skin by treating imperfections. Helps minimize appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, brightens & enhances complexion, fights & covers up blemishes and imperfections, nourishes & rejuvenates with Advanced Vitamin Technology. The proof is in the product! Firstly Love,Love,Love the easy to use packaging very high end looking. It goes on ultra smoothly, Perfect for dry skin types. It comes in 6 shades (Light, Fair, Medium, Warm Tan, Deep and Dark) so there's a shade for everyone. After several uses i find it does nourish the skin well, However its light to medium coverage so if your'e like me you might have to use a layer of foundation over to get the coverage you need. over all a great product. you could and you probably would find a better product at a more expensive cosmetic brand but for the price you pay I doubt you'd complain Yardley CC Cream is available at all leading cosmetic outlets ]]> Wed, 06 Jan 2016 07:44:02 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/max-factor-cc-instant-complexion-enhancer-cream/discussions/27047/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/max-factor-cc-instant-complexion-enhancer-cream/discussions/27047/ The fairy godmother’s over at beauty bulletin sent me the Max Factor CC cream to review. I hadn’t received a package from them in a while so I was very excited when I saw the courier at my door. When I opened up the package,I was a little disappointed, as I took the cc cream out of the package the colour stated tan. Now ,as you know I am very far from tan so I was just so scared that the colour wouldn’t match my skin(I purchased a essencefoundation about a month ago and it just didn’t match at all so it made me look like an oompa loompa – review coming soon) I have very blotchy (red patches on my pale face) skin and never thought I would purchase a bb cream as,I never believed that it would give me the coverage, I needed to achieve my desired effect and thanks to beauty bulletin I was an advanced learner and skipped right pass the bb and headed straight for the cc cream  Prior to receiving the cc cream,I was sent some travel sized products from Isabella Garcia Skincare range(see my reviewhere). So I had been walking bare faced for about two weeks and thought I would give the cc cream a try.I normally wear foundation to have a clear complexion and require heavy coverage. So I opened up the cc cream and was pleasantly surprised that this”tan” actually matched my skintone. So off I went to work and my colleagues could immediately see the difference.Another plus,never thought I would be so happy with my face with such light coverage but I was,this is awesome as it is now especially now that’s it’s summer,instead of a full face of foundation to the beach,now you can just put on some CC Cream and Bob’s your uncle.I will most definitely recommend this product to anyone that is keen on trying out a bb/cc cream. ]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2015 07:16:43 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/clinique-moisture-surge-cc-cream-spf-30-hydrating-colour-corrector/discussions/26988/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/clinique-moisture-surge-cc-cream-spf-30-hydrating-colour-corrector/discussions/26988/ Clinique Moisture Surge CC cream is amazing. I have used the medium deep variation and unlike many other cc or bb creams the Clinique CC cream leaves my skin moisturised, glowing and looking natural from day one. The formulae is non- greasy and the coverage is really good despite the light feel formulae. You will never go wrong in giving this a try, it also has SPF 15 for sun protection and comes in a nifty size that can fit right into your handbag . ]]> Mon, 07 Dec 2015 10:41:25 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/26961/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/26961/ I must admit that I bought this CC Cream because it was the cheapest, as well as on special, at Dischem. However, it was a happy chance that I did, because this is quite a lovely CC Cream. It is not perfect, by any means, but for what I paid, I did not expect to hear cherubs singing while I applied it to my face. It does what it claims, though, and it applies very nicely. The only criticism I have is that the Fair shade is not quite fair enough for me, although I am rather pale. ]]> Sun, 06 Dec 2015 06:25:21 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/26714/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/26714/ Now that i can't get the original Avon BB cream, I decided to give the CC cream a whirl. It does make my eyes burn when I put on too much or too close to my eyes, but I still love using this product, which stays on all day. Perfect for ladies that only need light coverage. ]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2015 12:58:41 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/26621/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/26621/ I received the cream in "Sable" from Beauty Bulletin! :) Thanks BB! I was really excited to try this, as there are not a lot of CC creams on the market that are made for women of colour. So I was anxious to know how this would be on me! Lets commend it first by saying, it has an SPF of 50! As someone who loves to take care of my skin, I take such things very seriously, so I was impressed with that! However, I found the formula of the product to be a little too watery "runny", and found it took some time to see the results in supposed to be seeing on my skin. Because it was too watery, that made proper coverage slightly a tough task too. It has a light feel on the skin, it almost feels like you're applying your daily moisturizer. This made it not too heavy on the skin, which was good, i liked that! It does give off a healthy "glow" to the skin. This is especially important in the warm summer months! I think with time, I'll be able to see the difference in terms of whether it corrects pigmentation on my skin, but for now, I'm slightly on the fence regarding this product... only time will tell. ]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2015 11:25:46 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/25832/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/25832/ ?I haven't used any Yardley products before so when Beauty Bulletin sent me this Yardley CC Cream to review I was a bit sceptic, a college of mine told me about an allergic reaction she had from a Yardley eyeliner so it got me a bit scared. From first glance the colour didn't look like it would match my skin tone, but I was definitely mistaken the shade warm tan 03 was a perfect match. This colour corrector moisturizer contains SPF30 which makes it perfect for Summer time to help protect my skin from those harsh summer days. I found that this cc cream is perfect for a light to medium coverage, I love the fact that it is, because during Summer I don't like to use much makeup. The Yardley cc cream covered my blemishes and uneven skin tone really well,I was really surprised it how well it covered up everything without making my face feel like or can't breath. This cc cream retails for R99.99 which makes it a great budget friendly option. I am really impressed with this cc cream and find that I will be reaching for this a lot instead of my foundation this Summer. Have you used the Yardley cc cream before? ]]> Tue, 29 Sep 2015 07:45:41 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-cc-cream-nude/discussions/25808/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-cc-cream-nude/discussions/25808/ I've been using this for ages now ,only it use to be in the nude shade. Whilst I had no qualms about that shade I decided to try the natural beige, and am I loving it ! Not only does it look much better on my skin it also gives me the look a lightweight foundation would. I sometimes use only this with a dab of powder and I'm good to go. It makes my skin look naturally radiant ! Over a period of use I can say that it has evened out and brightened my complexion somewhat. What's especially amazing is the hight spf of 50 ! I'm also crazy about the scent. ]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2015 09:56:34 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-all-in-one-cc-cream/discussions/25716/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-all-in-one-cc-cream/discussions/25716/ This is my favourite Essence product of all time! Straight off the bat, it is an amazing product. The only negative thing I can say is that, if you so not use a primer, it will probably crease into any fine lines you may have on your face. However, if you use a primer you are good to go. The formula is so so super lightweight and blendable. It is not very buildable but that is to be expected as it is a CC Cream and NOT a foundation. It is definitely perfect for a day when you don't need to cover up a lot of spots or when you aren't wearing such a heavy face - maybe a beach day seeing as Summer is fast approaching! All in all this is my favourite Essence product out of their entire range, I adore it and I was so pleased when Beauty Bulletin sent me one as I already purchased one of my own and it was almost finished ;) If you are wanting to use it as a foundation you can apply more product that usual and then add some concealer and powder on top - you will still be able to achieve a similar "foundation" effect even though it is a CC cream. An overall winner for me!!! ]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2015 10:08:23 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/25559/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/25559/ This Yardley CC Cream is great for all skin types. It's super light-weight, absorbent and does not feel 'cakey' at all when applying. Although it did improve my overall skin tone and reduce some redness, I found that I would still have to apply a layer of foundation over it to hide any skin imperfections as there is very limited coverage with this cream. So if you're having a good skin day, and don't want to wear tons of foundation, I'd recommend that you reach for this product. ]]> Thu, 17 Sep 2015 18:54:25 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/woolworths-cc-cream-spf20/discussions/25558/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/woolworths-cc-cream-spf20/discussions/25558/ Meet the underdog of CC Creams! I am still flabbergasted at how amazing this product is! This "Woolworths Face CC Cream" is super pigmented and it does cover redness by evening out your skin tone. I found the texture to be thick and creamy, while still being able to be quickly absorbed into my skin leaving it feel well moisturized and hydrated. Furthermore, it did not stick to any of my dry patches! The downside of this product is that it does not come in a variety of shades! I have the "LIGHT" shade and it sadly has too much of a strong orange undertone to it, so I can honestly only wear a light coverage of this instead of being able to build it up: which you can with this product. Although having said this, I did notice that after a while, when this cream began to settle into my skin, that it did start to blend in quite nicely. Lastly, I cannot emphasize how amazing the finish is! Your skin looks killer wearing this! And for R160, I'd definitely would recommend this product. After all, it's your skin, just better. ]]> Thu, 17 Sep 2015 18:51:44 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/almay-smart-shade-cc-cream/discussions/24916/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/almay-smart-shade-cc-cream/discussions/24916/ Not a tremendously wide range for skin of colour.but its a fabulous product with sunscreen making it perfect for a weekend away or a gym bag when you need a single product thst will moisturise add colur protect n conceal.

It also promised to TREAT skin while providing enough coverage - I just didn't find any improvement in my skin. The scent was a little off putting too, and the formula too running.

This gives medium coverage and diffuses imperfections brightening with natural looking coverage. Its comfortable to wear with a high SPF. This is all in one perfector with coverage and protection. Its more pricey than others but truthfully the Avon range to me is better having had tried both. The second deepest colour in this range was a match for me but lacked significant yellow. Avon wins here with a more comprehensive range cheaper higher spf and just as good with comfort and coverage ]]> Sat, 30 May 2015 03:18:57 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/clinique-moisture-surge-cc-cream-spf-30-hydrating-colour-corrector/discussions/22537/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/clinique-moisture-surge-cc-cream-spf-30-hydrating-colour-corrector/discussions/22537/ This product wins on three levels. Like the original Moisture Surge it smells amazing, despite all Clinique products being fragrance free. It feels silky smooth on your skin and thirdly and probably most importantly it actually works! Giving light to medium coverage (add concealer and powder for extra cover) it also gives the skin a healthy glow, and who doesn't want that? ]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2015 14:57:56 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/clinique-moisture-surge-cc-cream-spf-30-hydrating-colour-corrector/discussions/22524/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/clinique-moisture-surge-cc-cream-spf-30-hydrating-colour-corrector/discussions/22524/ I tried my sisters out and i love it! Clinique is in a class of its own for me. I'm still using my CC cream from Avon and it works well for me but the look that I got from Clinique just is so much better. My skin just lapped it up and immediately looked healthier and luminous.. Applying foundation over it just took it to another level of awsomeness.. Gives the right amount of hydration and so perfect as a make up base. Great in all aspects except the price,as always Clinique comes with a hefty price tag..so I'm just going to stick to Avon ,it does have a higher Spf than Clinique or I could just sponge of my sis lol.. ]]> Thu, 16 Apr 2015 09:59:14 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/22482/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/22482/ I was not happy with this product at all. First of all, I struggle to find my shade. Even the lightest shades are still to dark for me. Secondly, I find this to be a very oily product. It's not comfortable on my skin at all. I can feel it even if I don't apply a lot. Also, instead of treating imperfections and improving my skin, like they advertise, my skin ends up looking horrible. Whenever I use this, i have break outs. I wouldn't buy this again. ]]> Mon, 13 Apr 2015 19:41:58 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/21885/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/21885/ I am an Avon rep and i have been using avon cc cream caramel for the past 8 months, it is so light and has brought a glow on my skin and perfectly hides and improves my skin imperfections. ]]> Thu, 12 Mar 2015 07:58:46 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/21564/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/21564/ Today someone introduced me to the Avon Ideal Flawless CC Cream, I must admit that at first I thought "oh well another BB cream!"...But as sceptical as I was at first I started to like it more and more as the day went by. It has a nice fresh, slick packaging and is also small enough to fit into any purse without taking up too much space. The best part about this cream is that it is kind to the skin. It is easy to apply and is as easily absorbed. It has a nice light feel to it, like a normal moisturizer, with a somewhat mattifying effect but without that tight feeling most mattifying creams leave you with. When you find the right shade for your skin tone, it blends wonderfully and doesn't have a strong smell to it. I must add that the other thing I love about this cream is that it gives your skin a nice glorious, subtle, shimmery glow in the sun and also offers a SPF of 50 to ensure that your skin is not only flawless but protected as well. It surely seems like it will be a worthwhile addition to my beauty routine. Its still early days but I'm sold on it, none the less. I hope you too will have positive results with this beauty. ]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2015 14:32:52 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/chanel-cc-cream-complete-correction/discussions/21521/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/chanel-cc-cream-complete-correction/discussions/21521/ Luxe, luxe, luxe...This CC cream does everything it promises and more. One of my favourite features is the SPF 50, perfect for sunny South Africa. As for the complete correction it promises, the velvety texture smoothes and evens skin. The coverage is medium, so it conceals blemishes perfectly. The product is lightly scently: a beautiful floral scent. Although the fragrance may bother some people, I LOVE it. Best of all, this product is really moisturizing and suitable for putting on straight over a serum. What more could you want from a CC cream? Totally worth the splurge. ]]> Fri, 20 Feb 2015 09:33:34 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-all-in-one-cc-cream/discussions/21376/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-all-in-one-cc-cream/discussions/21376/ I asked my sister what she thought of this and she gave it to me to try. Smells a little funny/ plasticky, but it blends in very well on my skin. You still need concealer to cover up the odd spots, but it really does help even out blemishes. Plus, it feels very light on the skin and it looks so matte! Love this! I will definitely be using this again! ]]> Wed, 11 Feb 2015 20:59:09 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-all-in-one-cc-cream/discussions/20972/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-all-in-one-cc-cream/discussions/20972/ I bought this to test out, but the lightest shade seemed a bit too orangey for my light complexion. Luckily it blended so well that it didn't look bad on my face at all! The coverage is not as full as I would have liked, and I did still have some redness showing up underneath it. The SPF 30 is awesome though, so I wear the CC cream under my normal foundation and that gives better coverage. I do like the CC cream, however I don't think that I would buy it again as I like fuller coverage. ]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2015 13:27:05 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/20622/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/20622/ Great product.

This CC cream works wonders and hides those spots and imperfections we do not want the world to see. I found this CC cream provided adequate coverage but one can apply your regular foundation over it for added coverage. The liquid is absolutely light weight and blends in easily to the skin and I was very impressed as I watched the redness on my skin vanish before my eyes. I used this CC cream in the shade natural and it was the ideal shade for my olive skin. The SPF 30 is great too, skin protection is a must! This product is worth the purchase! ]]> Thu, 06 Nov 2014 09:38:09 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/max-factor-cc-instant-complexion-enhancer-cream/discussions/20283/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/max-factor-cc-instant-complexion-enhancer-cream/discussions/20283/ The Max Factor CC Instant Complexion Enhancer cream is a reasonably priced CC cream and retails for R145.95. I was pleased that it contains soothing ingredients such as hydrating gylcerine, cucumber water and sea buckthorn extract. However, I have dry skin and after using the CC cream for some time I felt my skin become a little dry.

I have gone off of wearing full foundation every day, but I still wanted something that would even out my skin and give me a fresh faced look. I must give this CC cream (the first I have ever used) credit for doing what it says it will. So far I am very impressed. It is not too runny, looks great when it is on, blended really well with my skin tone, and has pretty good staying power. This is great for an everyday/casual look. I would definitely recommend this to a friend! ]]> Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:29:00 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/20096/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/20096/ I've reviewed this product before but that was just early days and I couldn't resist another review! After using this for a while I have noticed a vast improvement in my overall skin tone. Since purchasing this not a day has gone by that I haven't used it . On its own it doesn't give me enough coverage as a foundation would but what it does for my skin is unbelievable. My skin glows with radiance and the high spf which intially I thought would make my skin oily does nothing of the sort. Using foundation over this is the best part , my foundation glides on and I use much less as before and my skin is left looking flawless the entire day.My shade is nude, I was sceptical when I was told that this is my shade because its so light but it blends it and matches my skin perfectly. A huge winner from Avon.. ]]> Sun, 19 Oct 2014 15:43:51 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/20093/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/20093/ I give this CC Cream1001% hide marks on your face completely , it's working like magic , people been asking me to share my secret and ladies I've used other CC creams before but I was not satisfied .

I was when I was first introduced to the Stila CC Color Correcting Cream. It is green after all and I had to have one! This correcting cream lived up to my expectations and I could literally check off the list of benefits one by one the longer I used it. The most important benefits to me were reducing hyperpigmentation and hydration. I have dark rings under my eyes and I generally have dry skin, so you can imagine my excitement when the Stila CC Color Correcting Cream began to hide all that. I use it daily on a freshly washed face before applying my foundation. I use a minimal amount so I am sure it will last a while, thank goodness! While this product may be pricey for some, rest assured it will last quite some time and most importantly it is very effective. Dare I say, on the odd day I go makeup comando and the Stila CC Color Correcting Cream may be all I wear and it really gives me a natural, healthy glow. Great to apply before hitting the beach this summer! ]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2014 13:28:52 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/19731/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/yardley-cc-cream/discussions/19731/ I love this product! I've been using a different CC cream that I'm also impressed with, but this one stands out. It's extremely moisturizing without being oily - which makes a huge difference to how it appears on your skin. The formula goes on smooth and even and it doesn't look caked on, very natural and dewy. ]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2014 10:23:05 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/clinique-moisture-surge-cc-cream-spf-30-hydrating-colour-corrector/discussions/19390/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/clinique-moisture-surge-cc-cream-spf-30-hydrating-colour-corrector/discussions/19390/ I purchased this CC cream on the weekend and I was blown away! Not only does it offer a great amount of coverage, my skin was left moisturised and looked flawless! At R415 for 40ml it is a bit pricey, however, literally a pea size amount is needed to have your skin looking radiant and flawless. ]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2014 12:20:41 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/19370/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/19370/ My morning routine has always been wash, tone, moisturize, conceal and last but not least foundation. Yes a 5 lllloooooonnnnngggg step routine in the morning. I have always used concealer to conceal my marks from acne. At the end it's plain and simple blemish scarring. Firstly I hat wearing/using up all my expensive foundations to work - prefer to wear my foundation when going out. So I opted for a BB cream, which was lighter and way less expensive. Then I received my free sample of Avon CC cream... Well I was skeptical at first - having scarring for years and tried and tested everything on the market makes, WELL a skeptic. Well I gave it a try, after seeing results on a friend of mine. She had/has pregnancy acne scarring. Gosh hers is finally disappearing after 6 years. I have honestly used the CC cream from over 2 weeks(recommended period) and still upto today am seeing results. My marks are fading, my skin tone looks much even and funny enough my skin looks and feels softer and smoother(younger LOL). What's amazing about Avon's CC cream, you can apply and apply and apply many times. The more you put on the darker the effect... Love it love it love it. Have bought my very own Avon CC Cream from a friend of mine, and loving it. Let's see maybe by the end of the year my marks will be gone... Fingers crossed. ]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2014 20:53:40 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/smashbox-cc-cream/discussions/19272/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/smashbox-cc-cream/discussions/19272/ I have been using the Smashbox CC cream for about a month now and it's one of my top makeup products I have used. It serves its purpose and it does what It need it to do! (Primes, perfects, protects , moisturizes and controls oil) It provides me with a fair coverage that gives a very natural and flawless look. Leaving my skin with a gorgeous glow! Best part it does not cake which I find happens with other types of makeup. Overall a great product that I will definitely carry on using! ]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:14:11 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/smashbox-cc-cream/discussions/19267/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/smashbox-cc-cream/discussions/19267/ Calling all Smashbox and CC Cream Fans – this is a must read for you! I was lucky enough to review Smashbox’s CC Cream; who says good things don’t happen to great people ;) Just kidding! Before I share my experience of the CC Cream, let’s take a minute to clarify what a CC Cream actually is. Since the emergence of the BB Cream, critics argue that everyone’s jumped on the alphabet bandwagon, hence the latest CC and DD creams. What they don’t realise is that each of these creams have special properties and a unique function. To assess a products’ quality as well as its’ ability to deliver on its promise, one has to put the product to the test. As a previous user of BB Cream I’m definitely not in agreement with the critics (what do they know anyway, lol). My experience with my new CC Cream was significantly different from that of my BB Cream. CC Creams are colour correcting products. As the name suggests, they work to even out skin tone and lighten dark marks. CC Creams often contain antioxidants which are essential for your skins long term well being. This is Smashbox’s promise to its CC Cream users: “The advanced, lightweight formula neutralizes and brightens skin for a more even complexion. It's also proven to fade dark spots, sun spots and post-acne marks instantly and over time” • Primes, perfects, protects (with SPF 30!), moisturizes and controls oil • Visibly fades existing dark spots, sun spots and post-acne marks • Immediately evens skin with a tinted formula, and prevents discoloration in the future My Smashbox CC Cream experience :) Smashbox CC Cream comes in a sleek, sexy ivory packaging. As far as Smashbox goes, products definitely have the ‘eye candy’ feature. I’m sure most of you would agree, even though we know better than to judge a book by its’ cover, a great looking product holds more promise than a not so great looking one. The cream is light weight, with a smooth velvety texture. It doesn’t have a signature scent, which suits me just fine, that’s a job of another product anyway. It is absorbed easily into the skin and is definitely effective with regards to oil control. My primary skin concern is uneven tone and dark marks; battle scars left behind after a run-in with the demon that is teenage acne. I’ve attached come pictures which highlight the creams immediate effect on dark marks – it really is noteworthy. Although slight, there has been a definite improvement in my skin tone, it now appears more even as well as brighter. For those of you battling the winter skin blues (or dull grays) and looking for a product to illuminate your skin, look no further than a CC Cream. My Smashbox CC Cream felt great on my skin, lasting long into the day and not rubbing off onto my collar or hands. Another super feature of the cream is its SPF 30. The Protection Power of any product cannot be more greatly appreciated - I love a product which not only makes me feel fabulous right now, but ensures that I look as good as possible years from now. The protection factor highlights that CC Cream isn’t just a makeup product (as is often assumed) but deals in skin care too! I am LOVING my CC Cream – it is now my prized everyday skincare product. I feel fabulous with it on, and even when it’s off, as now my unsightly dark marks have begun to fade. Give this cream a try ladies, you may be pleasantly surprised! ]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2014 07:01:49 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19151/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19151/ Firstly I need to apologise PROFUSELY for the delay in submitting my review, I have been out of the country for some time and upon my return, I had to deal with a family crisis, which caused the delay. This is my first experience with a Colour corrector cream and I have to admit to being quite pleasantly surprised, I tend to go abit pink on my cheeks and nose and this solved that problem really well. It also took care of the slight pigmentation I have on my cheeks. I like the pleasant smell of this product and the DEFINITE plus for me was the SPF of 50! Even though I chose the colour - SHELL, I thought it may be a bit too light for my complexion, however I could carry it off, I would opt for a shade darker in the future. I like the light to medium coverage as I'm not a fan of a very heavy foundation or make up. I like alot of the AVON products and would definitely use this product in the future. Thank you for the opportunity to review this product ]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2014 22:39:49 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19134/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19134/ There is a big change in my skin tone since I started using Avon flawless cc cream!, I also like the fact that it is lighter and my face does not look like that of a clown! I have told all my friends and relatives to try it! ]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:00:42 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19053/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19053/ My easy 3 step guide to getting the polished look quickly.. **Step 1: Start off with a fresh, clean canvas. I washed my face and used a toner before taking the pic **Step 2: Apply the CC cream directly onto the skin. I squirted a generous amount ( for the purposes of this pic- I usually don’t use a lot) onto my finger, applied five dots (forehead, nose, chin, right cheek, left cheek) of it onto my face and then rubbed onto my face evenly in order to smooth it out. An applicator can be used, like a makeup brush or sponge, but I prefer my finger to be able to blend in and smooth out the liquid easier. I love the fact that it’s easy to apply and not heavy because I prefer a natural look and the Avon CC Cream is quite light and translucent. I would prefer a bit more colour and coverage for the few marks that I have on my skin, so I just added more on those spots, left it for a few seconds, then dabbed it in to not be so stark. Another reason why I scored the ‘quality field’ on this moisturiser so high is because it contains a high SPF in it. A lot of the other daily moisturising creams contain an SPF 30 sunblock in. As I am darker skinned and burn quicker- I appreciate the SPF 50 in this product. I tried to research if the sunblock is oil or gel based because after the application of the cream, my skin seems a bit too shiny for my liking. I now use this with a bit of lose powder over just for a more settled look. **Step 3: Finish off with the look with mascara, eye liner and gloss. Use some of your favourite jet liner (liquid liner), mascara, lipstick and lip gloss to finish off the look. I used my Avon Mega Effects Mascara, Ultra Colour Absolute Lipstick (Pure Orchid) and Ultra Glazewear Absolute Lipgloss (Creamy Coral) over to complete my quick and easy 3 steps to getting the pretty polished look. ]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2014 06:12:20 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19052/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19052/ I received an Avon Ideal Flawless CC Color Corrector Cream in Light-Medium from Beauty Bulletin to review. The product promises a lightweight formula which will conceal flaws and act as a high-performance nutrient-packed serum which will lead to more noticeable radiance. The consistency of the product is thin and almost runny which absorbs easily into the skin. I didn't notice any coverage at all but that might just be that I needed a darker shade. When I put the cream onto my face it felt as though I was putting oil onto my skin. I already have a fairly oily T-Zone and this cream didn't seem to control that at all and in fact, worsened it! I also found that I ended up with a breakout after using it for 3 days and then I just couldnt bring myself to carry on using it. If you are prone to dryer skin then yes, this product might be for you but I honestly feel that its a no-go if you are more prone towards oilyness. ]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2014 06:11:23 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19051/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19051/ So I have tried the Avon CC cream for about 3 weeks now. It glides on smooth and creamy and feels luxurious. I have an oily skin so I need to cover over with a matifying foundation or some pressed powder to set it. What I love is that it contains SPF 50 so I will continue to use it going into summer especially around my eye area for correcting those dark rings and sun protection. It did even out my skin colour although next time I will use one colour shade darker. I used natural beige. It did lighten one significant dark spot ever so slightly over this time period although I had to apply a number of layers to make it totally disappear. It claims visible results in 2 weeks. Happy user all around and still using it. ]]> Tue, 05 Aug 2014 20:15:22 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19035/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/19035/ I received the new Avon CC cream a couple of weeks ago from the lovely ladies over at Beauty Bulletin to review and have been using it on and off over the past two or three weeks. I think this is only the second CC cream I have actually tried, the first being the Chanel which was nice with light to medium coverage but that only comes out in one shade which only worked for me in the winter. The Avon CC cream has a range of 9 shades ranging from Ivory which is the lightest shade to Sable which is the darkest. I received Natural beige which is the darkest of the 4 light shades and was a pretty good match for my skin. It has a SPF of 50 which is pretty high for any CC cream and I've only ever used it in the day so I cant vouch for the effects of flash photography. It claims to have light to medium buildable coverage for dark spots and uneven skin tone. It contains liquorice and Vitamin C to improve dullness and skin tone. I would describe this CC cream as a tinted moisturizer because it had no coverage effects at all on me. I wore it on days I wanted a minimal no makeup day but still wanted a even skin tone which it does give. If you need coverage for problem areas your going to have to use a concealer of some sort but if your just looking for a light veil of even skin tone then this CC cream would be perfect. I basically just used it as a sun screen that added a touch of colour which is always beneficial. On its own it lasted about 3 to 4 hours on my skin and with a primer I got about another hours wear out of it. If your ok with skin that looks glowy then this would be nice but if you have oily skin then this will not work for you at all as it accentuates oily areas. I found that trying to build it just added to the oil so I would not recommend this. Really good product for minimal no makeup makeup. This CC Cream goes for R84.95 on the Avon website ]]> Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:32:12 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/19001/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/19001/ This is a truely incredible product. I havent even used base since i was sent this product to review. Its such a natural, super easy blending CC CREAM and the shade was perfect match to my skin. I have seen huge changes in my skin. It glows, feels soft and supple and my acne marks are fading. I love the spf factor, an all year round must have! I will definitely be purchasing this product again, as i am so impressed. It comes in 9 shades, so theres one for everyone! Hint: I applied this with a foundation brush. Everyone has been complimenting me recently on my skin and how good it looks! Thanks BB for allowing me the opportunity to review yet again another amazing AVON product! ]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:38:14 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18994/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18994/ This is a great cream, both health wise, due to it's SPF 50, and is also ideal if you are going for a natural look with makeup on. I use this cream on it's own as foundation and it works wonders. I thoroughly enjoy the light feel of the cream and its sun protection without the greasy feel of sun cream on your face. It also last for ages as you need only minimal amounts of cream for the desired results. Avon CC cream is great and I would definitely recommend it to everyone! ]]> Fri, 01 Aug 2014 08:04:29 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/almay-smart-shade-cc-cream/discussions/18982/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/almay-smart-shade-cc-cream/discussions/18982/ I am a fan of that natural ,fresh face dewy look and this is what I got from using Almay CC cream. It glides on my skin beautifully and provides great coverage. I noticed after a while of using this product ,my face is looking brighter even after washing out all traces of the cream. I sometimes skip foundation when I'm using this CC Cream. It has a high SPF which is ideal for our Climate. I also love how hydrating it feels on my skin. Available in 3 shades: Light ,Light/Medium and Medium. ]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2014 16:30:44 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18975/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18975/ AVON CC Cream is number 1 its perfect to use and easy as 1,2,3 it covers up my blemishes and dark spots and evens out my uneven skin tone i really got to add anew product to my cosmetic draw cos i am so hooked on AVON CC Cream i cant leave home without it. ]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2014 11:24:06 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/18964/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/18964/ For the purpose that it is made for, it is a good colour corrector, and hide blemishes well. Although I have noticed that to have an even complexion all round, which I think most women are finding difficult. It is not a foundation. It is just simply a colour corrector. When I had applied my foundation over it I had much better results than just using the CC cream alone. Overall it is a great product. Something I would advise women buying if they have uneven skin. ]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2014 06:44:33 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/18960/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/18960/ I wish i had something more positive to say but i have to be impartial and honest. I have not had a great experience with this cream as it is lacking in something as a moisturizer, i found it was not sufficient to moisturize my skin before base application and i had to use it in conjunction with my regular moisturizer. I was hoping it would be great for colour correcting as my skin is really in need of that in certain areas, but i have yet to see the results, although i am not giving up that easily. I will continue using it in the hopes that it just takes a couple uses before you see results ]]> Mon, 28 Jul 2014 15:45:31 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18918/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18918/ Being an avid fan of the BB Cream, I was very expectant to try the Avon CC Cream,I was eager to know how much better it could be than the BB Cream am currently using.Not too impressed with the tube,it just looks so small and with the range of shades available I did expect foundation-like kind of coverage.My shade of choice was not too disappointing though I feel I could go a shade darker.Coverage was medium which is welcome for days when I don't feel like full make- up although I still feel BB Cream fairs better.Also, I have combination skin and after a few hours my skin looked greasy so I guess the mattifying qualities of the CC Cream are a bit behind.Worn on its worn I didn't like it, but under powder/foundation it was a good primer.Am not totally sold out to the product but would give it a chance especially because of the SPF and with time am sure it would deliver on the colour correcting. ]]> Fri, 25 Jul 2014 07:54:31 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18915/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18915/ The packaging is pretty simple - black with white print, with 2 silver C’s on the tube, but I liked the look of it. It has understated elegance. It comes in a very convenient tube (30ml) that fits comfortably in even small handbags. It dispenses just the right amount of product with each squeeze and a little goes a long way - take care! You don't want to use too much! It has an SPF of 50, which is perfect for our SA weather, however, I wouldn't want to wear it in Summer as I'm afraid it would simply melt off once heated up. It is VERY creamy. This is my first experience with a CC cream, which I received from the lovely ladies at Beauty Bulletin. How on earth they got my colour (Natural Beige) just right, only they know – it blended perfectly! My first impression was that it was a bit oily and took a while to blend into my skin. Also, it started to flake off in bits while I was applying it, which was not nice at all. I thought about that and realised that perhaps I should try applying it without using moisturizer first. This did the trick! It went on a lot better and there was no “crumbling” or flakes in my sink. The coverage of the CC cream is definitely NOT a foundation, so if that’s what you need, then this is not for you. However, if you want a light coverage and a more even skin tone, then I would recommend this product wholeheartedly. I found that it had fine (tiny) bits of glitter (more like shimmer) which was part of the reason that it illuminates your skin so well. I have a lot of surface veins and although I could still see them, they appeared lighter after applying the AVON CC cream. The texture on my skin, was silky, not oily at all. I blended it with my fingers as I think it wouldn’t blend as nice with a brush. It has a soft, clean fragrance that does not irritate, but simply evaporates after a while. I can recommend it for sensitive skin like mine, as I didn’t have any adverse effects afterwards. I guess you could set it with pressed powder, but you’d lose the illuminating effect which is probably what was intended with the cream in the first place. So, no, I wouldn’t use a powder over it. This CC cream is perfect for those who don’t want a heavy mask or obvious coverage, but a light cover just to smooth out the more obvious “flaws”. It did soften the redness of my chin quite a bit, but you do need to touch it up now and again during the day if, like me, you tend to touch your face a lot. Would I buy it? Hmmm I don’t think so because I like the coverage of a foundation that doesn’t budge during the day, but it’s perfect for daytime use if you’re not the makeup type of gal and go more for the natural look. It will give you the “natural look” without much effort. I have included pics, but the quality of the camera is so poor, I’m not sure they’re worth placing. On the one pic, I just did my cheek and chin on the one half of my face so that you could see the contrast. The blob on my hand shows how it looks before blending. The rest of my hand already had the product applied, which blended perfectly. So, it can be a bit misleading when it comes out of the tube. Thanks for this opportunity BB ladies, you’re the best! ]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2014 17:17:50 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18909/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18909/ I was one of the lucky ladies to be chosen to review the new Avon CC Cream. I collected my parcel from the post office, very excited just to rip the package open and give this new product a test. On arriving home i was very nimble to get my face washed and moisturized and ready to try out my Avon CC Cream. I opened the tube of CC Cream and began to squeeze a small amount out into the palm of my hand. Rubbing my hands together, then rubbing my CC Cream evenly all over my face. Once i had blended my Cc Cream nicely into my face I looked up into my mirrow. Suddenly I let out an unexpected scream!! I looked like a ghost!! The shade I received was Nude.... This was way too light for me. I was not overjoyed about that, but decided to still carry out the testing of this product. It does go on very smoothly, it covers all imperfections where needed and does last the whole day ( I know this as i left my Nude CC Cream on the whole day - but stayed at home - aka - Looked like a ghost ). I will purchase another CC Cream from Avon but will go for a more darker shade. I would reccomend this product to family and friends. ]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2014 10:18:52 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/18875/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-soft-honey/discussions/18875/ This cream comes in a small black tube and can fit into any handbag. The cream looks like a foundation. I applied it on my face with my finger tips; it absorbed quickly and easily into my skin. The formula is light weight and non greasy yet it is effective in moisturising my skin. The Avon ideal flawless CC cream smells very nice. After using this CC cream daily for two weeks my face appeared more radiant and even toned. I will buy this product in future and I recommend it to all. ]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2014 10:51:02 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18873/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18873/ Hi everyone,   Today I will be reviewing Avon Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream in soft honey. So this has been my first experience using a cc cream and I must say it absolutely great. I have a combination skin type and need to drink a lot of water especially during winter as I find that my skin dries out and the areas that are not oily (i.e. cheeks, chin, forehead). Over and above this, I also have fair skin, this means that when I don’t wear a blush or some base then I literally look like the walking dead, my skin looks pale and I look like I haven’t slept in forever. Needless to say the slight tint that the cc cream provides, combined with the moisturizing SPF 50 gives me a subtle bronzy glow which lasts for about +-8 hours which is long enough to make it through a working day. The cream has a lightweight feel to it, once applied you can feel it on your skin and after a few minutes you forget completely that you have applied a cream. Unlike some cc creams Avon’s Ideal Flawless CC Cream has pleasant smell that is not overpowering once applied. Being fair of complexion I have some red capillaries on my face (due to showering with very hot water and stepping into the cold immediately after) which the cc cream easily hides as well as the light brown blemishes dues to acne scarring. I like the fact that the cream benefits me two fold covering my skin’s flaws as well as providing UV protection (ladies, remember that UV rays are present during the day even when there is cloud cover and no sun). Overall, I am quite pleased with the overall results of the cc cream and would recommend it to anybody who wants some slight cover of a base combined with the protection of a SPF 50 from harmful UV rays. I would also recommend this product to teenagers who are first timers to base/concealers as it is a good starter product without looking too mature for your age and feeling like the makeup is being “caked” on. That’s it from me, hope you found this review informative.

But moving back and forth between towns etc. has resulted in me only getting the cream yesterday. So today was my day 1 of using the product. I will be posting a review a week from now and then a final one in two weeks. My apologies for the delays. ]]> Tue, 22 Jul 2014 19:43:51 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/18852/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/18852/ Started using the Avon CC cream, absolutly love this product. My skin feels very smooth. Im not entirely sure what the difference between the CC & BB cream is but am yet to find out. Thanks Avon and Beauty Bulliten for giving me the oppertunity to review the product. ]]> Tue, 22 Jul 2014 13:41:16 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18851/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18851/ Well, I am not going to lie. I only received my parcel today. I have not yet tried the CC cream, but it was on my AVON shopping list. So after opening my parcel and receiving the CC cream,I was on top of the moon. If all the benefits it promises delivers I am surely going to be impressed. I love all my AVON products because it usually delivers on your needs and desires. I will surely keep you posted ]]> Tue, 22 Jul 2014 13:12:24 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/18838/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-corrector-cc-cream-shell/discussions/18838/ I was one of the lucky few to be chosen to review Avon's Avon Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream. I was quite excited about this as I have never used a CC or a BB cream because in all honesty I didn't know what exactly they were and what the difference was between them. I now regret not trying this out much sooner. It is basically a tinted moisturiser with and SPF50 that helps hides flaws and over time evens your skin tone. I found it to have a really pleasant smell as apposed to most foundations and moisturisers. The cream is lightweight upon application and gives a light coverage on the first application, and a medium coverage on the second application. It's great to use instead of a foundation as it does not become flaky, and after using it for a week I am happy to say my skin tone is more even and radiant. The usual price is R159.95 for 30 ml, but is currently on special for R84.95. I have attached photos of without the cream and with the cream applied that readers can compare the amount of coverage. ]]> Tue, 22 Jul 2014 10:47:16 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18833/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18833/ Apologies for the late review, however my last day for the two week challenge is today. As a regular Avon customer I was overly excited when I received the Ideal Flawless CC Cream! And as most of the time, Avon definitely lived up to its' quality and standard. Just like a coin with two sides, this product has its pros and cons. The Ideal Flawless CC Cream, provides a medium coverage with abit of shimmer and the best part is the SPF 50! Coverage + Protection= Bonus! The product basically allows for less products to be applied, which is great! The ideal flawless CC Cream claims to lighten dark spots within two weeks. in the first week of using the product, not much could be seen and the product absorbed quite nicely into the skin. However, the change came in week 2, while my dark spots have lightened, my chin and forehead has broken out with many pimples! So while I achieved what the product claims, it has also created more dark spots unfortunately. One last issue with the CC Cream, is that the cream is of a much lighter colour, therefore you may not even achieve a medium coverage with product. Yet this can be solved by buying 1 colour darker. Now it’s up to each individual to decide on purchasing the product or not. It definitely gets thumbs up from me for: Coverage Light weight and no 'make-up build up' Great SPF 50 protection Not ridiculously expensive Thank you to Beauty Bulletin and Avon for the chance to review this product.

I'm usually a skeptic when it comes to foundations/concealers because my skin tends to let me down at important times. I have combination skin so this product worked well for my skin. I don't usually like wearing foundation, but I enjoyed using this product as it was natural looking. Although I didn't use a moisturiser with it, I wouldn't advise a person who has dry skin to use this product. It has a powdery feel once applied. But This worked to my advantage as I didn't need to layer. Meaning, as a working mum, always on the go, I didn't need to use a moisturiser before or translucent powder after, to cover up shiny patches. And the other good thing is that my skin looked sort of radiant. Someone commented that I have a doll's complexion-I'm assuming she meant porcelain. So that was a positive comment that I picked up. What I noticed yesterday, is that the pimple scars on my chin has faded. And 2 pimples that were beginning to erupt did not turn red or leave a scar. So this product has some magic. Overall, I loved using this product, it worked for me and I would continue using it. For the price, well worth it! ]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:45:32 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-sable/discussions/18831/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-cc-cream-sable/discussions/18831/ I've never had problems with my skin except having uneven skin tone and this has made me avoid foundations because I have naturally smooth skin and never wanted to ruin it. BB creams from a certain brand worked well for me but it was too slow to show results so I tried out the new Avon CC cream in sable, I was a bit skeptical about it but it worked wonders!! My skin is still in the process of being well toned. The CC cream is very light on my skin and leaves it flawless all day. A few ladies I've met even thought I had foundation on! I've had no rash or side effects, it's a must-have no doubt! ]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:24:43 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-correcting-cream-medium-beige/discussions/18828/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/avon-ideal-flawless-colour-correcting-cream-medium-beige/discussions/18828/ The CC cream has been a staple in my cosmetic bag for the 2 weeks I have had this product. Having been someone who has always suffered with Foundation covering too much where I was comfortable with my natural skin, and making sections of my face (which I was trying to hide) look all the more obvious, this product was a godsend. For the past few months, I was beginning to give up on even applying foundation and concealer, because it never gave the desired effect that I always saw on Make-up Tutorials and celebrities. To go back to the thick and sometimes terribly staining foundation after using the Avon CC cream would be madness. The first night I applied the product, a couple of hours before going out with my friends for the day, I was amazed at how easily my skin took the product. I always ensure I have moisturised my face well before putting on product and I was afraid that very reason might cancel out the effects of the cream. It didn't at all. Instructions on the CC cream only require you to apply it and blend well. Simple enough. Nothing too drastic happened at first...I couldn't even see any big difference in my reflection. Then I realised...that was the point, it didn't create a ghostly, one-dimensional mask as most foundations do...quite the opposite...it took my natural skin and ironed out kinks that always bothered me. After a few minutes, I realised my cheeks even had a bit of a glowing/dewy finish that I had always sought after and could never get right with just highlighter. It helped my blush slide on well, made my bronzer contour perfectly without having to worry about any darker pigmentation to create unwanted shadows...and it didn't feel thick at all! Avon's CC Cream contains Oxybenzone in it as well, an organic compound that you find in sunscreens and many sun-protecting products. It offers protection of SPF50 and this makes the light application even better to wear during the day. You don't have to worry about sweating your product away either, the product allows your skin to breathe and moisturises it every step of the way. For all the great points that the Ideal Flawless CC Cream has, there is the negative of that it doesn't have the exact same result as it does the first couple of hours you have it on for. It does fade a little, not much, but it lacks the dewiness and the smooth colour-correcting finish towards nighttime if you wear it all day. Another small negative is that this does not help the appearance of minimising large pores, which can quickly be corrected by using a primer or filler beforehand. For the tiny negatives I brought up, this product is amazing and to expect it to take on the job of primer, foundation, highlighter and to stay on 18hours is a little unrealistic. This product does the job and my skin feels as good as it did the day before I applied it. ]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 19:49:13 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18826/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18826/ So my quest for flawless skin continues. This time with a product that in my books has the makings of an ideal skin treatment – having both cosmetic AND restorative qualities. Avon’s CC Color Corrector cream. This recently introduced ‘multi-tasking miracle’ works like this – with its light weight formula, it contains color correcting pigments to conceal spots and blemishes WHILE fading existing pigmentation such as the unsightly acne spots in my chin area that just - well, will not allow me to be great. Adored the cream’s light, beachy, ultra-feminine fragrance and between that and how perfectly the shade I selected blended with my skin tone– I couldn’t wait to get cracking with the cream. Now I’m a cover girl. I love my coverage. I NEED my coverage. The texture of the cream and how easily it absorbed was by far not too shabby for a cream. However it did very little to conceal my acne spots, which admittedly is my primary concern and therefore the area I wanted to tackle most when using this cream. The results I wanted to see were around the correcting bit, so I could see a reduction on the appearance of my acne spots. Aesthetically, I found it to have a warm sensation on my skin after application that lingered on a while after application – I figured this was owed to the correcting element of the cream. Now I’m usually extremely pedantic when it comes to sensations on my skin following a product application I know many people like to ‘feel’ things for them to believe they’re truly working but I’m one of those that like to see results as opposed to feeling them. Besides heat on skin normally means darkening and as a dark skinned person this is never an ideal. But having used the CC cream for 3 weeks full now nothing adverse has resulted from it except that I’ve noted, pleasantly so, that the newer acne spots on my forehead seemed to have faded a great deal. My main focus now is to see the same on the much older marks around my chin area. I’m currently enjoying the CC cream for daytime coverage and as a base moisturizer under my full cover foundation. I had to pat myself on the back when I made this discovery. Overall a fantastic product given its multi-tasking formula. Retailing for R159 but currently on sale for R84.95, don’t just take my word for it contact your Avon Rep and try it for yourself. ]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:08:49 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18813/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/flawless-cc-cream-from-avon/discussions/18813/ Avon Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream SPF50 is a lightweight multi-tasking formula with colour correcting pigments which conceal flaws immediately and acts as a nutrient packed serum to fade the look of pigmentation and dark spots over time. This product claims to begin to fade the appearance of dark spots in just 2weeks. It also claims to do the 3 things below: 1. Correct: - Improves look of dullness, dark circles and redness. 2. Protect: - Fights free radicals and provides UVA/UVB SPF50 protection. 3. Perfect: - Helps fade the look of pigmentation. I was really excited when I was chosen to do the Avon Ideal Flawless CC Colour Corrector cream review but at the same time, worried about the shade I might get. I was pleasantly surprised when the Nutmeg shade I received matched my skin perfectly. The CC cream comes in a compact 30ml black tube and has a slight thin texture which is not runny and this enables it to absorb and blend easily into the skin. The CC cream is lightweight and gives a natural looking matte finish. It is non-sticky and feels very comfortable on the skin. On me, it provided a medium coverage which is perfect for everyday use. It evened out my skin tone – I mean it made my skin look flawless! I am yet to notice the fading of any dark marks and hopefully, I will see the expected results with continued use. Whenever I applied the CC cream, I set it with powder to prevent transfer and increase its longevity. The SPF50 is a major plus!! This CC cream did not break out my skin and not once did my skin look oily throughout the day. The only downside to this product might be the price. The regular price is R159.95 for 30ml but you can get it on special at the moment for R84.95, a saving of 45%. ]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 14:16:09 +0000
