I love having that sun-kissed look on my face, especially during the summer, but I’m not a sun goddess. I like to keep my skin healthy and out of the sun’s harmful rays. Lucky for me, I received a wonderful facial crème to review that gives me that healthy summer glow without having to subject my skin to ultraviolet rays! Gerard Cosmetics by Whitening Lighting has recently introduced their newest product – the BB Plus+ Illumination Facial Crème. A twist on a traditional BB Cream, the BB Plus+ Illumination is formulated with light reflecting particles and golden shimmer to add dimension and a youthful glow to any complexion.
Gerard Cosmetics was created with a pure passion and clear vision to offer every woman products that were the solution to everyday makeup blunders. They stand by every product they release and make everything with love and attention to detail. Gerard Cosmetics is a line created for women by women who empower each other and strive to offer products that are luxurious, accessible and endlessly chic.
Some of the major selling points and benefits of the BB Plus+ Illumination Facial Crème are:
• Can be used alone, as a cream highlighter or mixed with your favorite liquid foundation
• Blurs imperfections and corrects discoloration
• Universal shade adds radiance to any skin type or tone
Armed with this chic, illuminating facial crème, I was excited to see how it would look on my fair skin. Slightly skeptical, I applied it over my daily moisturizer and sunscreen and wow—I was so impressed by how a few strokes of this crème gave me a much healthier and youthful glow. This BB Plus+ Illumination Crème is not leaving my beauty bag for sure! It is easy to blend, doesn’t streak and doesn’t have an unnatural color, which was one of my concerns. Being the pasty princess that I am, I usually get a strange orange tint when using any kind of bronzing product, but this one is really unique. I did not look like a carrot, which I consider a little victory for the pale people!
On the weekends, I don’t like to wear as much make up as I do during the week for work. I usually skip the foundation and this product makes it really easy to do that. I don’t feel “naked” and my skin looks vibrant and clear without the layer of foundation (or spackle as I jokingly call it). It also feels light on your face and not caked on. I even put a little powder on over it and it looked great and felt fresh and fantastic. My only complaint is that crème didn’t flow smoothly out of the tube. The first few times I used it, it squirted out and sprayed on the sink and on my clothes. Just be aware of that for the first few uses. It could have just been mine, but you never know.
Wow! So many benefits. My daughter and I both use BB cream. I had heard about CC cream but never tried it. I like that this is also an illuminator to provide that glow. I like to have some color in my face without wearing a lot of makeup, and I like that this adds color subtly while smoothing out your skin.
I love the sound of this BB cream, particularly the “illuminating” feature as my skin can look so dull. I’ll consider trying it!
I really like everything you said about this. The only drawback…it doesn’t have an SPF of any kind. I wish I could find one that does! But this might be a good for me for the winter months when I’m not outside as much.
I think that this BBcreme might be perfect for me. I like how it illuminates the skin and hide discolorations and minor imperfections. I would just have to be careful with the tube since it squirted.
This sounds perfect for my in the house pale skin! Certainly worth a try!
I would love to try this BB creme! I love that it “illuminates” and hides imperfections while giving your skin radiance. Putting this on my list!
I really like BB illumination facial creme. I have BB cream but not this brand. This is a very nice bb cream to help me lighten up my sun spots. I would love to try this Brand.
