Too Faced BB Cream SPF 20; Review & Swatches of Shades

Too Faced Multi Benefit Tinted Beauty Balm SPF 20

Price $34 for 1.5 ounces

(That's less than $20 an ounce!)

CRUELTY FREE!!!

As long as it's a worthwhile product, you're not likely to find many BB's that can beat that price!

A not-too-often-spoken-about-product, will the BB in Too Faced's Beauty Balm end up standing for "Beauty Bargain", or a "Beauty Bust"?

It YSBB CC Cream

Price: $38 for 1 ounce

CRUELTY FREE!!!

It Cosmetics have certainly taken the beauty world by storm the past few years with their It Bye Bye Under-Eye Concealer, so it made sense that they would jump on the BB/CC Bandwagon with their addition of Your Skin But Better Color Corrective Cream SPF 50!

So is it a worth while addition or a bust?

Problem:

I'm sure that many of you have already tried, or at least heard of, Physicians Formula's new complexion product lineups which include the Super BB Line, the Super CC Line, the Organic Wear Line, etc. They have definitely released a ton of products in a very short period of time since all of these are full product lines (powder, concealer, & BB/foundation), and they have all been introduced to consumers since Spring 2013, but are they worth meeting?

I was stunned when I saw that MAC had released a new foundation, a new compact foundation at that, and I had heard nothing about it. I thought I was hallucinating when I saw the display. I wasn't. 

MAC has just released the newest member of the Pro LongWear family; MAC Pro LongWear Compact Cream Foundation, complete with SPF 20 joins Mac classic like MAC Pro Longwear Foundation SPF 15, and MAC Pro Longwear Concealer....

Wet 'n Wild BB Cream; Review & Swatches of Shades

Wet 'n Wild BB Cream; 8 in 1 Beauty Balm; SPF 15 (by Fergie Glammaker)

New for Fall 2013

CRUELTY FREE!!!

Price: $6 for 1 ounce

Because of its name, Wet 'n Wild is always listed towards the end of any alphabetical lists of brand names, but that's no excuse to forget your alphabet! They finally released their first addition to the world of Beauty Balms last fall, with their 8-in-1 Beauty Balm BB Cream SPF 15, but by that point all the other brands had moved on to CC Creams! Well in the end the turtle beats the hare, so maybe, just maybe, Wet 'n Wild was learning from all of the other brands' mistakes so that they could release the most perfect formula of them all, but did they?

Bobbi Brown could never have been expected to leave herself out of the Beauty Balm trend considering she's a trend-setting makeup artist...(and of course, owned by Estee Lauder), so how does the Bobbi Brown BB Cream stack up?

Too Faced Air-Buffed BB Creme Compact, SPF 20 Beauty Balm; Review & Swatches of Shades

Too Faced Air-Buffed BB Creme Compact
Price: $30 per ounce
(extremely cheap for a cream foundation)

CRUELTY FREE!!!

Too Faced Air Buffed BB Creme is actually a really unique product. There are plenty of BB Creams in liquid form, and there are a fair amount in cream compact for as well, but there aren't too many BB Creams, CC Creams, Tinted Moisturizers or Foundations that have a formula quite like Too Faced's Air Buffed BB Cream...

Shiseido is definitely a sunscreen conscience cosmetic company, probably because of their Japanese origins, but a very nice attribute for people of all skintones and ethnicity.

So is this really the two in one product it claims to be?
