I have been scoping out the interwebs, trying to find a suitable replacement for using base. I am sick of using heavy, yucky stuff on my skin, so I needed to find something light, with good coverage, and obviously, affordable. I am a huge Amazon fan, so that was the first place I checked.
There were so many options and most of them way overpriced. Drugstore brand makeup costs about one and a half times as much on Amazon as it does in the store. Ridiculous!
After reading the reviews of about 300 (not kidding) different kinds of makeup, I kept coming back to the BB cream made by Skin79 as being my best bet. I like the fact that it starts out a grey-ish tone and ends up matching your skin tone. How cool is that?!? I know that this is possible because I used an Almay base that did a skin tone match and it started out a weird creamy grey color and matched my skin pretty well.
I almost bought the Skin79 BB Cream - Pink Edition. Almost. But then I started seeing all these things about the BB creams on Amazon being fake and I got really weary. I went to the Skin79 website and the cream is $28. Now, $28 really isn't too bad for a high quality product that you are PUTTING ON YOUR FACE. I don't mind paying that for something that I love. But I didn't know if I would love it. So I kept looking.
After awhile I read some more reviews and found a trusted seller on Amazon; PinkGelee. This seller just so happened to have a sample kit that I could get for $10. Not only is that less than half the price of the one I was going to buy, but I was getting to try 4 different versions of Skin79's BB creams. Good deal.
So I just got the cream in the mail. The plan is to use one at a time and do a review.
As I try these out, I will update the blog. Tomorrow is Day 1!
