Today I’d love to tell you that Physicians Formula Super BB All-in-1 Beauty Cream ($14.95) is an amazing new product. That finally we have a good, solid BB Cream available in the US.
But sadly, my testing didn’t go so great with this one.

As you know Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm launched late last week. Urban Decay’s first ever BB Cream leaves a little to be desired in the pigmentation department and acts more as a tinted moisturizer than a BB Cream. This alone had me worried whether I’d rant or rave it, love it or hate it.
However, after trying it out for the past several days I can honestly say it took me by surprise.

Rimmel’s new BB Cream Beauty Balm has launched in the US. I found displays at Harmons for this new Spring 2013 launch. So far I’ve seen it in four total shades however, the launch in the UK included only two.
Colors include Fair, Light, Light/Medium, and Dark I believe but don’t quote me as some displays were stripped bare.
I hauled both the Light and Medium shades in the hopes one would be a match.
Take a look!

I purchased my first MAC Prep + Prime BB Beauty Balm Compact in August I believe? MAC launched the BB Beauty Balm Compact a few months ago but not many folks realized it was hanging out on the website.
It comes to the forefront this Spring 2013 as part of the general catalog. I mentioned in a few posts already that you’ll see BB Creams getting a big push for Spring so I suspect that’s why MAC is kinda bringing this forward.
Also keep in mind, it was supposed to launch with the Prep + Prime BB Beauty Balm but for some reason there were some delays thus the new “relaunch” of the product.

Read More...I recently hauled MUA Makeup Academy BB All In One Beauty Balm during their Facebook sale. I was quite interested in this BB Cream since reading so many reviews on it.
It’s available in six shades for £4 each however, during the sale I paid half that price. Seriously, £4 is a good deal without the added advantage of the sale. By the way, the sale is still ongoing, simply use promo code MUA40 for 40% Off your total.

I picked up Revlon Photoready BB Cream on Saturday and blogged it from my car. Revlon BB Cream? Yeah, I was excited.
I actually found it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond marked at a very reasonable $8.29. I was surprised as although BBB is part of Harmons, typically their prices are higher for some odd reason or another. $8.29 seems reasonable enough. I suspect once it hits the standard round of drugstores the price will range from $9.99-$11.99.
Having been very disappointed with Maybelline’s Dream Fresh BB Cream as well as other US BB Creams I haven’t pinned too many hopes on Revlon Photoready BB Cream.
What did I think?
Here’s a few thoughts!

Rimmel has a new BB Cream that launched earlier this Fall in the UK that’s available in Light and Medium shades.
Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation BB Cream is a 9 in 1 formula that primes, mattifies, moisturizers, minimizes the appearance of pores, conceals blemishes, and protects with an SPF 25.
It looks like the newer drugstore BB Creams are stepping up their SPF as Revlon’s new BB Cream has an SPF 30 and now this with an SPF 25. Excellent! Hopefully they turn out more pigmented than the more recent releases.
This will prob launch shortly here in the US but it is already available on ASOS.com for around $13.
I’ll be sure to update as it becomes available in our market!
Gosh BB Cream is available at Duane Reade stores. Actually the entire or most of the Gosh Collection is available at Duane Reade now so if you’ve been wanting to try this brand you can do so now. Plus they have testers available which scores points for extra coolness in my book.
I was highly interested in checking out that Gosh BB Cream after hearing about it some mouths ago so I finally stepped in store to grab one up. This promises to act as your foundation, primer, and moisturizer. I should have known that it wouldn’t be too much of a true BB Cream formula but my curiosity was piqued none the less.

Skin Food Platinum Grape Cell Essential BB Cream launches several months ago in Korea and is available in two shade selections with an SPF 45.
The grape cell extract in this BB Cream supposedly restores skin elasticity. I didn’t purchase it for that reason though, I did because it contains arbutin which whitens/brightens skin when used over a long period of time. I figured if I loved the formula it would be beneficial to have arbutin in the mix to brighten dull skin and lighten dark spots.

Gosh Cosmetics now has a BB Cream available in three shades. Interestingly enough Gosh is now sold at Duane Reade so if you happen to live in the New York area stop at your local Duane Reade and you can take a look at it.
Although it doesn’t come cheap at $22!
Ouch!

3 Lab Perfect BB Cream launched some months ago in three shades. It’s one of the most expensive BB Creams I’ve seen launched in the US market priced at a whooping $95.
It was created to not only protect skin with an SPF 40 (titanium dioxide) but also to regenerate cells using Phytocell Tec and Nano Clair GY.

Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream ($39) is a surprising launch for me as I’m not familiar with the brand. After browsing, reading, and learning more about Hydroxatone, it seemed logical they would introduce their own BB Cream considering they sell a variety of skincare products that address common anti-aging issues.
I located a tube at Macy’s but the brand is also sold at Ulta.
Here’s a few thoughts…!

Sleek Makeup Be Beautiful Blemish Balm has launched on site and you can indulge it at 20% Off if you like, click here for the coupon code.
I’ve been messing around with it for several weeks now and although it lacks the pigmentation of an Asian BB Cream, I must say, I really like it.

I recently reviewed the Skin Food Good Afternoon Rose Lemon Tea BB Cream for you in a prior post which is one of several afternoon tea infused BB Cream formulas that the brand recently introduced.
I also picked up the Good Afternoon Berry Berry Tea as well which is the anti-aging formulation from the collection.

Skin 79 Snail Nutrition BB Cream is made up of 45% snail secretion filtrate.
Gross?
Maybe but it’s the latest craze and trend to hit Korea. Most everything you see has some sort of snail “slime” in it lately including skincare products like serums, moisturizers, and eye creams.
I know it sounds disgusting but there isn’t any scent or any one feature that will make you think of snails when you’re using it.
Take a look!
