These days it is hard to keep up with which letter of the alphabet we’re spreading across our faces. It seems BB creams are a thing of the past and as we progress through the letters, we make our way to the all-new and improved CC Creams.
I am a sucker for Avon products so was exceptionally excited to try their new CC Cream! I have used BB creams in the past and have been impressed by the convenience of the all-in-one product!
Avon’s CC cream has some amazing claims such as helps eliminate dark spots, evens and improves skin tone.
I love the fact that it is SPF 50 coverage, simply as I am forgetful when it comes to applying sunscreen, and we cannot afford to forget, in the South African sun (even in winter!). Honestly, I found the coverage to be very poor, it gave my skin a gorgouse dewy finish – but I wasn’t confident to wear it on its own. After reading more into it, I decided to give it a try and use it as a primer followed by my usual foundation routine. As a primer, it gives my skin a stunning glow and it doesn’t flake, all while protecting my skin from the sun and making my makeup last longer. Although they say it is buildable coverage, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, as I found it became crumby!
One thing that is definitely commendable is how it evens the skin tone over time. It is quite impressive how my dark marks lightened.
