L'oreal La Crème True Match BB Cream: Pics & Initial Thoughts

Hello lovelies,

I was at Watson's (again) and came across this little beauty :) 

I knew L'oreal had launched a BB cream but never really looked into it at the time coz I was more concerned with Mac's Face & Body (another ah-mazeballs product, courtesy of Mac!)

Anyhoo, Watson's currently is having an offer on certain L'oreal products where you get 1 free if you buy 2!  Products on offer will be on a special display.

So by the time I came by today, most of the good stuff was already sold out, and I ended up purchasing just this BB cream coz it was offered at the nifty price of just SGD13.90! 

The product comes in one tone - G2 Gold BB - and it claims to retexturize and brighten the skintone and cancelling out yellow undertones, in addition to containing anti-ageing properties.  The cream also boasts an SPF of 35 PA+++.

Here is my swatch of it, done on my inner arm.



Top is bare, whilst the lower part is the BB cream, already blended into the skin.

Product comes out as a light-textured liquid, not runny at all.  

When I started to blend in using my fingers, I could tell it is very moisturising - probably due to it's hyaluronic content.

It blended well into my skintone, and did not feel sticky to the touch, nor did it feel 'heavy' as some BB or CC creams feel.

Overall, I could say it helps to even out my skintone somewhat, with a light to medium coverage.

Not bad for one of L'oreal's initial foray into the BB cream industry - seems they have come up with a product that might be more suitable for normal-to-dry and lightly-blemished skin. This might be something for you to get your mum or grandmums, as the high moisturising qualities might be very suitable for matured skin.

Note: If you are having acne-prone or very troubled skin, this might not work for you.  It might even leave you with even more 'oily' looking skin instead, due to it's high content of moisture.


Cheers
