Hello everyone! ♥

I ordered a BB cream sample from Loréal Paris a few months ago. So I didn't think I would still get it but I did. So I tried it out, and this is what I think:

I always have problems with foundations. They are too orange or too yellow.
I've had it with this one too, but I think it's just my skin type, not the foundation's fault. Also, I've had worse foundations than this one. I've had a foundation that would make me look like a baby carrot. I guess I just have bad luck with finding a good foundation for my skin type. Even the foundation I use now (not this BB cream), I'm not quite satisfied with it. I like white/pale skin. My skin is already very pale, but it's so hard for me to find a good matching foundation.

The thing that surprised me was this:

I like to see how the white fluid (i would not call it cream) turns into a skin tone color. But when I blended the foundation and when it was fully dried it turned into a very dirty sticky orange color. That also happened to my face.
  You can see that the BB cream totally does not match my own skin tone. On my hand it looks like I got a little sunburned. 


I think if my skin was more tanned the BB cream would actually not look so bad.
I don't have a really bad skin or acne. I had skin problems though. My skin moulted and I could peel of some skin  and it really itched a lot > A < My skin was really thin and vulnerable. But i got some medicine. Here you can see what is left of it. Some spots. You can see that the BB cream really covered most of the spots. But I had to layer it. But when I layered it it became even more orange >///<

In the picture I used flash and the BB cream looks quite good.

I think the coverage is not so bad. From scale to 10 - Coverage = 7
I could still use a little bit of concealer or cover-stick.
So I won't say this is the ideal BB cream.

AAH !  I look so sleepy  >///<  Please leave a comment for me being confident enough to show my face without eye make-up? >////o

 

When you look at my head and my neck you can see the color difference. The color difference is not that big but i don't like the way it looks in real-life.
I would recommend the foundation because i like the coverage. Also if you don't have a really pale skin-tone with a pink undertone like me.
I would reccommend this to people who usually have 02 - 03.

Con

• It turns into a darker color when fully it's dried.
• It's feels really dirty/sticky on your hands/face so use a foundation brush. 
• It feels like a mild scrub, so I was worried i would scar my sensitive skin. 
• It doesn't have a creamy texture, it's more like a fluid, so again, use a foundation brush.
• It doesn't stay very long
  

Lucre

• It has a nice coverage
• It blends well
• It gives somewhat of a natural finish
• Easy to apply (with a brush)
  
  
  
  Overall: I do reccomend this foundation ^ - ^
  It has a nice coverage and colour, but it just doesn't match my skin-tone.
  
  
  My search for a good foundation continues though.
