All-in-One BB Cream - The Body Shop | Review


For anyone who hasn't yet had the opportunity to get their hands on one of these, if you like light-medium coverage, this will be right up your street!

I picked this up on a whim last month, mainly because I was in The Body Shop, and, well once it's in the basket, it's coming home with me! Plus, I spend a lot of my free time travelling, either by train or by plane (I have my reasons..) and its always nice to have a little miracle tube that can make you look less dead, without needing an entire make up bag!

The cream itself is white and blends in to your skin tone - not entirely sure how it works, but, I'd recommend trying out the shades in store, just to make sure you don't end up looking like a wotsit. It applies beautifully, and I'd definitely say that "less is more" with this product. ( excuse the strange application process in the picture below, its mainly for the benefit of you guys to see what it looks like before being applied properly)



The one downside of this product would be that it doesn't smell very nice - I know that BB creams aren't famous for their scents, but this one has a strange smell about it that I'm not fond of, but its not so bad that I refuse to wear it.

As you can see from the before and after photos below, this product makes you look more alive! 

Before: 




After:



Retailing at £12, it's quite reasonable, and overall, I'd highly recommend this product. Its rapidly become one of my essential travelling items, 'quick skin fix' go-to for days when I'm not feeling full make up, and even as a foundation stand-in for those hot summer days (although, it hasn't got spf coverage, so be careful!)

It's genuinely my current favourite BB cream on the market! Let me know how you've got on with it, would love to hear from you guys! :)

  1. I'd love to try things like this. I'm very pale though, and struggle to find shades that don't make me orange! Looks lovely on you though!

    1. It's worth a try! I'm a natural redhead so I'm very pale too - I've used shade 01 which has a slighter tint to it because I had a slight tan. But the 00 shade is very pale, so might suit you :) xx

  2. I really like those "magic" white-tint bb creams. I didnt realize body shop's was like that. Ill have to put it on my list!
