17 BB Cream Review




















This is my first ever review of my first BB cream! It's 17's toe-in-the-water of the vast BB cream market. I had been looking into getting a BB cream for a while but was utterly confuzzled so when I saw this I was very excited! 17 is one of my favourite brands and one of the few that I love almost everything in! I swatched it beside my favourite foundation, Max Factor Xperience Weightless in Ivory (its the palest foundation I think out there and a brilliant match for my skin) and it was almost exactly the same so I bought it in a flash.


I have the shade Light and I have to say I absolutely love it! Its replaced my foundation over the last week and I've not been missing the Factor :D This promises to hydrate, blur imperfections and even skintone etc. like all BB creams I've seen and this one definitely does just that! I think it also has SPF15 but I'm not sure and I threw out the box! I was also pleasantly surprised with the coverage it gives. I have no other BBs to compare it to but from what I'd heard and read, I expected it to be very light and best for daytime. However I would have no problem wearing this on a night out either. I apply it onto moisturised skin with my fingers and then dust some Collection pressed powder over it to set.

Soz about the face but any other way I looked about 12! 

It lasts for about 5 hours but don't hold me to that 'cos I wasn't really watching out for when it started to fade
but it lasted quite a while. I think it was under €10 too! So overall I would definitely recommend this BB cream and I really am in love with its flawless ways :D 

I hope you enjoyed my first review and that it was helpful!

A Little Disclaimer.....

Hello there beauty enthusiasts!
Before we get down to the pure fun and craic of beauty blogging, I just wanna say a few things.

Firstly, anything I review is my own and was bought with my own money. If I get sent anything, I will always say so at the start of a post, but to be honest, I can't imagine that happening for a while! So if I'm reviewing anything that's a few months (or years) old, its because I wanna talk about it and haven't had a chance to get it any sooner. However, I will try and only review recent things and not a foundation thats been around for yonks and everyone and their Granny has tried it.

Also, any opinion I have is my own and I haven't been influenced by a brand or anyone else...

So there you have it, a really little disclaimer just to set a few things staright :D

And now onto my first ever review! Woop woop!

Hello World :D

Hey everyone!

So this is just a short post to say HELLO! and tell you guys what this blog'll be about. So as you probably guessed from the title, I friggin love everything to do with beauty, especially makeup! Now, I'm not saying I have a bathroom full of makeup etc. but I literally can't walk past a pharmacy or Boots without going in and just one person has to write a good review of something and I have to have it!

Anyway, so this blog is basically going to be me talking about my favourite thing - Beauty, and sharing my passion and thoughts with other like minded people. Happy reading!
