Hydroxatone Anti Aging BB Cream

I recently joined iFabbo an amazing international organization for Fashion and Beauty Bloggers! I am so excited to be apart of the iFabbo family and can't wait to review some well known companies!

So here is my very first product I got to review the Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream!

This BB cream is supposed to hydrate, conceal, protect, reduct the look of aging, and brightens skin

If your looking for good coverage you will def get that with this BB cream. It is very creamy and a little def goes a long way

I compared how my skintone on my hand normally looks and to compare it to the BB cream I applied to the right side of my hand. First off you can def see the brightening effects of it. So if you have pigmentation or blemishes it will help brighten and conceal those. The coverage is pretty good as well! I have been using it for 2 weeks and while I don't notice any anti-aging results ( I am not at that point in life for lines/wrinkles yet which is why I don't see a difference) I did not break out or anything when using this product.

Overall, this BB cream is better than others I have tried for sure but the only thing that concerns me is the price. I for one am on a budget so in real life I probably couldn't afford this BB cream. But if you can afford it and your looking for a good an anti-agining product that brightens and conceals, this BB cream is worth the try

Price $59.95

Where to find: Macy's, Ulta, or online

Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream

When I did a review on the Maybelline BB cream I got a few comments that it wasn't enough coverage for them so I was on the hunt for a BB cream with great coverage! As I am a member of Bzzzagent a online marketing company where you do surveys and depending on if you match a companies criteria you can review their products for free. I got chosen for the Garnier BB cream campaign. 

The Garnier BB cream aims to even tone hydrate, renew, protects and brightens and I got mine in medium/deep.

Wanted to swatch it on my hand first and as you can see it looks like it will give good coverage.

I then blended it into my skin and as you can see it def brightens my skin, evens tone left a little part of my hand on the left without the BB cream. It is also lightweight and doesn't make my face feel heavy at all. No breakouts!

Overall, I was loving my new BB cream I was even considering using it as my primary one.

Until...

I noticed the bottle leaks and it did all over one of my ipsy bags. I was so sad lol bc it stained it. So now I can't carry it in my bag bc even though I cleaned it off it keeps doing this. Not sure if I have a defected one or the hole in the bottle is just too big and the BB cream can just ooze out. Now if it didn't leak I def would be using it but it isn't.

So I guess its off to find another good BB cream.

Beauty Product Showdown Thursday-Face

Hey all! I know I missed out on last weeks Beauty Product showdown! I think I will have it every other week as its really hard to compare two products in a week.

This weeks Beauty Product Showdown theme is Face in and particular BB Cream!

Been trying to find a good BB cream? Well today I compare two popular Drug store brands!

So let's get started


This weeks showdown features BB cream by Maybelline ($6-7)

And Loreal BB Cream ($10.95)

Serving as an 8:1 skin protector the BB Cream by Maybelline aims to blur inperfections, brighten and evens skin tone, hydrates, enhances, smoothes, has SPF 30 protection and has 0% oils and heavy ingredients. The color I got here is medium sheer. It is extremely light, does not oily my face and most importantly does not break me out! I apply it before foundation and love the coverage it gives.

Note the moisturizing effect it has on my skin. It blends very well but I wanted to show you how it looks on my skin tone so I did not completely blend it well in this photo.

The Loreal BB Cream on the other hand has only 4 tasks to hydrate, prime, perfect and correct. As you can see here it is a white color with little beads in it that will tranform to meet your shade. This is the Light shade.

When blended in you can see its def moisturizes less than Maybelline. And I used this quite a few times and felt like after I applied my foundation my face looked more cakey than usual. I thought maybe I put too much concealer over the BB cream to cover up my pores on my nose but I seen I got this look everytime.

Overall, if I had to chose a winner hands down it would be Maybelline BB Cream. Love how light it is on the face, how it moisturizes my skin, and most importantly I don't break out when I use it! Oh and offers more benefits for the skin (8) as opposed to the Loreal BB Cream (4). Plus its a lot cheaper than Loreal! Before I tried these products I had heard that Maybelline was everyone's favorite and now I see why!

The winner of the Beauty Product Showdown is....

Maybelline BB Cream!!

Rimmel London New Beauty products

Hi all! Today I have reviews of some new products from Rimmel London! From lips, eyes to face products I was really excited to get to try these products out just for you guys!

The first two products I got to try was 2 of the new Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Collection Lipsticks

I love the case colors and slanted angle of these lipsticks.

The two matte colors I have is 110 and 102

Lipstick shots of 110 and 102. I love that there matte and have absolutely no glitter in them.

110 is a coral/pink color. Really cute, really shiny. I think this color will look good with light and brown skin tones.

102 is a lighter pink color. To me it was a little more streaky and I wasn't a big fan. It I had to chose between the two I would def choose the 110.

The Max Volume Flash mascara. The brush for the applicator is good and allows even distribution of mascara so you will have zero clumps. While this mascara is good at lengthening lashes I didn't think the volume properties were good enough to give me nice and thick voluminous lashes.

The next product I tried is the Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal eye liner in black

Not going to lie this eye liner was pretty freakin sweet for a drug store brand. It is really pigmented like other designer liners I used and lasts pretty long too! I was pretty impressed.

Rimmel London also has eyeshadow sticks that are like giant crayons to glide on smoothly. The color I treid was Bulletproof beige.

I just swiped it really quick but as you can see the color is a shimmery beige color. I should have tried it with a primer but the pigmentation is fairly well. I probably would use this as a shadow base but I wish I could see how the darker colors come off.

The last product I got to try is one I have not tried yet a BB cream. This BB cream does 9 jobs for this one product by priming, moisturizing pores, conceals, covers, smooths, mattifies, brightens, and helps protect to give a flawless natural finish

The consistency is so soft like whipped cream. A little of this product goes a long way to give a nice light layer on the face. I've been using this cream for over 2 weeks and it works great! No breakouts or nothing!


Overall, I enjoyed trying these new products and thought some were very good well others were okay.
