Loreal Nude Magique BB cream review

So after seeing this advertised on the telly, (I am a sucker for clever advertisements), I thought I'd give it a go. I'm just about to go on my weeks holiday to Madrid and fancied a new product to try. My skin is, thank god, fairly good at the minute and seen as I've ran out of foundation, I thought a new BB cream might be the best way to treat myself, plus I love wearing light make-up on holiday.

Firstly, I like the packaging. I normally find Loreal's packaging tacky for even my standards but this isn't bad. Simple, effective, I like it. Secondly, this product makes VERY attractive claims. A product that not only is a "bare skin beautifier" but that also involves "smart pigment capsules". I for one have absolutely no idea what these are, but I like the sound of them. I chose the product for fair skin, knowing that like all high street BB creams it will probably be darker and therefore suitable for my holiday.

This BB cream is different from my Garnier and No7. It comes out as a white liquid with small white pigments inside it, and then spreads out to create the skin tone described on the bottle. Yet again, as with all my BB creams, I can get away with this as my skin has a yellow undertone to it. However, it is not exactly what I would describe as "fair".

Overall, I do like this product. The texture is nice on my skin as it is extremely lightweight. It does even skin tone considerably for myself, yet I do need to apply concealer on my red patches and old blemishes. Moreover, it gives my skin a nice glow without being oily. I only needed a small amount to cover my whole face, therefore I think £9.99 is a fair price to pay, as it will definitely last me a long time.

The final product (ignore bags and dodgy eyebrows)
