You Know About B.B. Cream.....But What About B.B. Water?
Hey Beauty B's!
This has been around for a while but I haven't yet seen the mass market really try to replicate this. B.B. water by Smashbox Cosmetics is literally an amazing tool for the Beauty B that wants a natural beat. It's even handy for keeping in your bag for going somewhere after the gym and you want a little something to look presentable. I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on this product, but let's change that. Warning this is a SPLURGE product, but the quality is worth it.
Here's why this is an amazing product to add to your beauty arsenal.
1.) First thing first, Smashbox was originally a photo studio. They developed this line to actual be functional yet photograph well. The B.B. water is great for those that want to be very natural and have a minimal makeup routine. Also this product photographs really well which for me personally I like for my selfies.
2.) The formula is hydrating, and will give you a dewy finish. I sometimes call this my J-Lo glow when I use this, a little bronzing powder, and a subtle highlight. Seriously it the combo makes my skin look like I just am radiating from within.
3.) There is SPF 30 infused in the product. I actually like this because we need to protect our skin from the sun. It will help you age more gracefully, and won't cause dark spots or age spots to darken. I know what you're thinking though, SPF in a foundation won't it pale out in photos. The answer to that is no, because Smashbox Cosmetics is a photo ready line. They thought about this when creating it. Trust me the amount of selfie and usies I have taken with this product under all different lighting settings, I still always look flawless.
4.) Really great news this is Alcohol free and Oil free! I tend to enjoy alcohol free products after reading and researching and chatting with other major beauty gurus in the industry, A lot of us try very hard to avoid using alcohol on our skin. Since I have decreased this along with a cream from my Dermatologist my skin has never looked this good before. I could almost go out with no makeup but that's never going to happen. LOL!
5.) Product does not contain: Parabens, Fragrance, Talc, Oil, Sodium Laurel Sulfates, and Phthalates (chemical products that can often times cause reproduction and hormonal issues within humans). And its Cruelty Free.
6.) Product is demi- matte finish, but it's not going to be flat because the formula is dewy.....meaning you will look natural but your skin will look healthy and youthful......gives you life literally!! You can also build up the coverage. I do recommend using a Beauty Blender for this product for best
application. It will come out smooth and very natural looking. The product does not require a Primer as it primes for you just like a B.B Cream would.
7.) Personal Tip: I do like to dust a little powder on top of my products. Just to give a little something extra sometimes when I wanna step up my natural beat to a more advanced beat. Also another tip, I use to keep this product in my bag when I would club in New York....you never know what's going to happen and where you may wake up the next day hahah. You do want that someone think You Woke Up Like That!
Check it out Beauty B's! You can find at Smashbox.com, Macys.com, Ulta.com, and my all time favorite Sephora.com. One warning though as of now they only have 8 shades but you never know they may expand if the demand picks up and if the mass cosmetics market jumps on this idea.
Catch you later Beauty B's!
