I love Avon products. Really. So obviously I was excited to be included in the review club for the CC cream, I previously enjoyed Avon's BB Cream. I like to use something constantly and consistently in order to give it a proper review, I wore this CC cream everyday these past few weeks. I have worn it on its own and as a primer under my foundation. I find it works best for me as a primer. I tend to use less foundation as it does give a small amount of coverage but it seems my make up sticks around a little longer with this underneath. In the beginning I did not notice to much of a change in my skin tone as Avon promises, it does brighten up my skin to a slightly dewy look when wearing it but it wasn't until the end of my trial did I notice that it has faded a few dark spots here and there but I can't say it has made a huge difference. I would definitely say this is a very light coverage CC cream, its not enough for me to wear on its own on a daily basis. I do love it though because I think it is going to be absolutely perfect for summer time and those hot days spent on the beach as it does have a high SPF content. Avon never disappoint me.
I had a pleasure of receiving the Flawless Colour Corrector from Avon. I t something every woman should have in their hand bag. Whaty I love about it, it compactable and easy to use no need for a foundation it like a second skin. I fell in love with it from the first application as I am always on a rush I dont have the luxury of applaying the lotion, foundation and powder so with the Avon Colour Corrector it easy no need for the whole routen. Thank you so much for giving me the oppotunity of trying it.
My easy 3 step guide to getting the polished look quickly..
**Step 1: Start off with a fresh, clean canvas. I washed my face and used a toner before taking the pic
**Step 2: Apply the CC cream directly onto the skin. I squirted a generous amount ( for the purposes of this pic- I usually don’t use a lot) onto my finger, applied five dots (forehead, nose, chin, right cheek, left cheek) of it onto my face and then rubbed onto my face evenly in order to smooth it out. An applicator can be used, like a makeup brush or sponge, but I prefer my finger to be able to blend in and smooth out the liquid easier. I love the fact that it’s easy to apply and not heavy because I prefer a natural look and the Avon CC Cream is quite light and translucent. I would prefer a bit more colour and coverage for the few marks that I have on my skin, so I just added more on those spots, left it for a few seconds, then dabbed it in to not be so stark. Another reason why I scored the ‘quality field’ on this moisturiser so high is because it contains a high SPF in it. A lot of the other daily moisturising creams contain an SPF 30 sunblock in. As I am darker skinned and burn quicker- I appreciate the SPF 50 in this product. I tried to research if the sunblock is oil or gel based because after the application of the cream, my skin seems a bit too shiny for my liking. I now use this with a bit of lose powder over just for a more settled look.
**Step 3: Finish off with the look with mascara, eye liner and gloss. Use some of your favourite jet liner (liquid liner), mascara, lipstick and lip gloss to finish off the look. I used my Avon Mega Effects Mascara, Ultra Colour Absolute Lipstick (Pure Orchid) and Ultra Glazewear Absolute Lipgloss (Creamy Coral) over to complete my quick and easy 3 steps to getting the pretty polished look.
After using the product for 2 weeks I have seen positive results. Avon cc cream is a really wonderful cream and easy to use. Applying it twice a day morning and evening. Not only is the cream light on your skin it also smells great. I would definetly recommend the product to women out there who is looking for great results in a short time.While wearing the cream it is hardly noticable and feels really light compared to other facial creams out there. This is a must product for all women out there.
I tried the CC cream by Avon and it works for me, the color blended with my complexion , it has that natural finish and does not make my skin shinny, it gives that natural glow and that makes me feel confident, i normally wouldn't use any of these products the reason being I couldn't get the correct color to match my skin tone.I'm really pleased that I tried & tested this product and would definitely add it to my makeup kit.
I must admit that I am very weary of trying any new products for my skin as I have very oily skin. I have tried bbcreams before with no success, so decided to give this a shot. What I can say is, I loved the fact that it absorbs almost instantly and looks quite natural,and does not settle into fine lines. Also I love the SPF protection. It gives basic coverage, so if you have blemishes or hectic acne scars ect, this product will not be for you. Now unfortunately, because of my oily skin condition, after 2 hours my face became very oily. So this product is not for me.This product will really suit someone with perfect skin already or for someone who is looking for a more natural look.
It was and still is, an awesome experience.. thank you very much for sharing the product with me... it was made for my skin and I have been applying it ever since receiving it.. great glow to it. :) SPF 50 - topping it hey. I would recommend this to everyone...
According to mom.me BB creams, which stands for beauty or blemish balm, was originally meant to be an all-in-one product. So instead of spending five minutes applying your serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and sunblock, you could just apply BB cream and be set. CC cream stands for color or complexion correcting—is similar to BB cream, but amped up a bit more on skin care. They're a little heavier on anti-aging, helping with uneven skin tone, age spots, wrinkles and other simple skin issues. Like the BB cream, CC cream contains moisturizer, sunscreen and has the same amount of tint with the usual choices in fair-light, light-medium and medium-deep. Often the SPF on CC creams will be higher than in BB creams in an effort to help prevent additional skin problems caused by the sun.
So I tried Avons' CC Cream after using a BB Cream for a while. I must say the texture of the Avon CC Cream felt a little more oilier compaired with the BB Cream. The application was fine, yet the coverage a little less desirable. Teh shade was a little less subtle than the BB cream, however this is subjective to my skin tone and the brand I used for the BB Cream as well. Saying this, I did feel that the CC Cream held my makeup better than the BB Cream - because of its oilier texture.
p.s. Top Tip: I suggest applying a light / loose powder to counter act the oilyness of the CC Cream, and you will have a more even or polished finish. You may also add a pressed powder for more coverage to uneven toned areas. That's a wrap!
Before using Avon's CC cream my skin felt a bit dull. After using the CC cream my skin had this natural looking glow to it. With my skin feeling less dull my mood automatically improved. Another improvement I noticed is that the red marks around my nose started to get lighter and were less noticeable. With the CC cream being so light it felt as if I wasn't wearing any makeup at all. Dark marks around my eyes seem much lighter. This cream is definitely a product that I would add to my shopping list and continue to use and recommend to my friends.
Being an avid fan of the BB Cream, I was very expectant to try the Avon CC Cream,I was eager to know how much better it could be than the BB Cream am currently using.Not too impressed with the tube,it just looks so small and with the range of shades available I did expect foundation-like kind of coverage.My shade of choice was not too disappointing though I feel I could go a shade darker.Coverage was medium which is welcome for days when I don't feel like full make- up although I still feel BB Cream fairs better.Also, I have combination skin and after a few hours my skin looked greasy so I guess the mattifying qualities of the CC Cream are a bit behind.Worn on its worn I didn't like it, but under powder/foundation it was a good primer.Am not totally sold out to the product but would give it a chance especially because of the SPF and with time am sure it would deliver on the colour correcting.

I received the new Avon CC cream a couple of weeks ago from the lovely ladies over at Beauty Bulletin to review and have been using it on and off over the past two or three weeks. I think this is only the second CC cream I have actually tried, the first being the Chanel which was nice with light to medium coverage but that only comes out in one shade which only worked for me in the winter.
The Avon CC cream has a range of 9 shades ranging from Ivory which is the lightest shade to Sable which is the darkest. I received Natural beige which is the darkest of the 4 light shades and was a pretty good match for my skin. It has a SPF of 50 which is pretty high for any CC cream and I've only ever used it in the day so I cant vouch for the effects of flash photography. It claims to have light to medium buildable coverage for dark spots and uneven skin tone. It contains liquorice and Vitamin C to improve dullness and skin tone.
I would describe this CC cream as a tinted moisturizer because it had no coverage effects at all on me. I wore it on days I wanted a minimal no makeup day but still wanted a even skin tone which it does give. If you need coverage for problem areas your going to have to use a concealer of some sort but if your just looking for a light veil of even skin tone then this CC cream would be perfect. I basically just used it as a sun screen that added a touch of colour which is always beneficial. On its own it lasted about 3 to 4 hours on my skin and with a primer I got about another hours wear out of it. If your ok with skin that looks glowy then this would be nice but if you have oily skin then this will not work for you at all as it accentuates oily areas. I found that trying to build it just added to the oil so I would not recommend this. Really good product for minimal no makeup makeup.
The packaging is pretty simple - black with white print, with 2 silver C’s on the tube, but I liked the look of it. It has understated elegance. It comes in a very convenient tube (30ml) that fits comfortably in even small handbags. It dispenses just the right amount of product with each squeeze and a little goes a long way - take care! You don't want to use too much! It has an SPF of 50, which is perfect for our SA weather, however, I wouldn't want to wear it in Summer as I'm afraid it would simply melt off once heated up. It is VERY creamy. This is my first experience with a CC cream, which I received from the lovely ladies at Beauty Bulletin. How on earth they got my colour (Natural Beige) just right, only they know – it blended perfectly! My first impression was that it was a bit oily and took a while to blend into my skin. Also, it started to flake off in bits while I was applying it, which was not nice at all. I thought about that and realised that perhaps I should try applying it without using moisturizer first. This did the trick! It went on a lot better and there was no “crumbling” or flakes in my sink. The coverage of the CC cream is definitely NOT a foundation, so if that’s what you need, then this is not for you. However, if you want a light coverage and a more even skin tone, then I would recommend this product wholeheartedly. I found that it had fine (tiny) bits of glitter (more like shimmer) which was part of the reason that it illuminates your skin so well. I have a lot of surface veins and although I could still see them, they appeared lighter after applying the AVON CC cream. The texture on my skin, was silky, not oily at all. I blended it with my fingers as I think it wouldn’t blend as nice with a brush. It has a soft, clean fragrance that does not irritate, but simply evaporates after a while. I can recommend it for sensitive skin like mine, as I didn’t have any adverse effects afterwards. I guess you could set it with pressed powder, but you’d lose the illuminating effect which is probably what was intended with the cream in the first place. So, no, I wouldn’t use a powder over it. This CC cream is perfect for those who don’t want a heavy mask or obvious coverage, but a light cover just to smooth out the more obvious “flaws”. It did soften the redness of my chin quite a bit, but you do need to touch it up now and again during the day if, like me, you tend to touch your face a lot. Would I buy it? Hmmm I don’t think so because I like the coverage of a foundation that doesn’t budge during the day, but it’s perfect for daytime use if you’re not the makeup type of gal and go more for the natural look. It will give you the “natural look” without much effort. I have included pics, but the quality of the camera is so poor, I’m not sure they’re worth placing. On the one pic, I just did my cheek and chin on the one half of my face so that you could see the contrast. The blob on my hand shows how it looks before blending. The rest of my hand already had the product applied, which blended perfectly. So, it can be a bit misleading when it comes out of the tube.
Thanks for this opportunity BB ladies, you’re the best!
I received my CC cream about 2 weeks ago. I am a bit disappointed because it didn't work. I have a very red undertone in my skin as well as dark circles under my eyes. I used this product for 2 weeks as suggested and can see no difference. I also think this cream is over priced. I can't afford it on my own. What I did like is that it didn't feel like concealer and it has a spf of 50.

I received an Avon Ideal Flawless CC Color Corrector Cream in Light-Medium from Beauty Bulletin to review.
The product promises a lightweight formula which will conceal flaws and act as a high-performance nutrient-packed serum which will lead to more noticeable radiance. The consistency of the product is thin and almost runny which absorbs easily into the skin. I didn't notice any coverage at all but that might just be that I needed a darker shade.
When I put the cream onto my face it felt as though I was putting oil onto my skin. I already have a fairly oily T-Zone and this cream didn't seem to control that at all and in fact, worsened it! I also found that I ended up with a breakout after using it for 3 days and then I just couldnt bring myself to carry on using it.
If you are prone to dryer skin then yes, this product might be for you but I honestly feel that its a no-go if you are more prone towards oilyness.
All skin's are different and there for different results will reach at the end of the day. One of those different once is mine. Maybe it's because of the amount of damage done to my skin over the years, but i have been using Avon CC Cream and i have not seen any change on my dark spots. There for i won't give up hope, i will continue using my tube of CC Cream till the last drop and see if there will be a difference. This to me personally is not a quick fix product, maybe a fix over a longer period of time
I was very excited to be chosen for this review, however I will be honest in my experience.
Firstly, the product was sent to a different post office, so I had to wait a bit longer to get it.
Secondly, the colour I chose was much too light for my skin (shell) and I find it very hard to choose a colour based on a colour representation.
Thirdly, after trying it on, despite the too light shade, but to taste the product quality I was left with pimples on my cheeks. the product itself is not too runny and applies smoothly but unfortunately was not for me. I did not continue using it for the proposed amount of time as I feel I should write an honest review. I will give it to someone else with a less sensitive skin than me and will perhaps write a review on their behalf.
