~Weekly Product Highlight~ Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream~

So in an effort to not buy new items, I have been “shopping” from my own stash of makeup.  I have rediscovered so many great products that I had completely forgotten that I love.  One of the rediscovered items is the  Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream. I forgot how much I love this product!

I am a big fan of BB/CC creams!  This Loreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream was the first BB cream that I ever used and it has been a favorite ever since!  I like the design of the packaging, it is in a small squeeze bottle that makes it perfect for throwing into my makeup bag for travel.  We recently went away for July 4th and this is what I brought along with me.

If you want something lightweight to wear during the summer when it’s hot and humid this BB cream is perfect. It gives the right amount of coverage without feeling heavy.  It leaves a flawless looking, smooth base for makeup. Like most BB/CC creams it provides sheer/light cover that can be built up to slight medium coverage.

As you can tell from the above photo, it comes out of the tube white and as it is rubbed in it transforms into your skin’s color for a perfect match.  I don’t know how they do it, but it seems like magic! I am guessing that is why they named it Magic Skin Beautifier.

It comes in four shades: fair, light, medium, and deep, as well as two other formulas one for anti-aging and one for anti-redness.    Prices range from $7.99 at Target to $10.99 at Ulta.

Have you ever been using a drugstore product and thought to yourself, “Hmmm this reminds me of…(insert high end product name)” or vice versa with a high end product?

Did you know that many of the high end companies we love are actually owned by one of the well known drugstore cosmetic companies?

YSL, Lancome, Georgio Armani, and Urdan Decay all have the same parent company L’Oreal.

Even Essie and EM by Michelle Phan and many more are owned by L’Oreal.  I love L’Oreal, it is one of my favorite drugstore make up brands.  You may remember that I also love Maybelline, it is also owned by L’Oreal.

One good thing about L’Oreal is its standards on animal testing:

“L’Oréal no longer tests on animals any of its products or any of its ingredients, anywhere in the world. Nor does L’Oréal delegate this task to others. The rare exception allowed is if regulatory authorities demand it for safety or regulatory purposes.”
