Botanics BB Cream Radiant Youth

Botanics BB Cream Radiant Youth

The BB cream craze did not initially grab me, for me it’s just a tinted moisturiser with a higher SPF. However I recently won a completion on twitter for a bag of goodies from Boots (woop, woop!) and the product that caught my eye was the Botanics BB Cream Radiant Youth. Maybe it was the pretty packaging but I was excited to try.

So far my opinion with Botanics has been split. I LOVE the Botanics Rosewater Spritz but the Botanics Mattifying Cream really dried out my skin and broke me out so I was a little concerned that the BB cream may do the same.

The Botanics BB Cream Radiant Youth claims to give you instantly radiant skin, even out your skin tone, blur imperfections and keep your skin hydrated.

I am happy to report that I have been pleasantly surprised by this. It gives just the right amount of coverage yet it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything, its light and allows my skin to breathe.
I have shade medium, which when it came out of the tube looked scarily dark but blended into my skin looked light and natural.

The wear time was pretty good the only places I needed to reapply were my usual areas like my chin and around my nose which happened with nearly every foundation I use so this was not a problem.

Overall Botanics BB Cream Radiant Youth has a thumbs up from me and it has opened my eyes to the world of BB creams. Now the summer is approaching and I’m looking for less coverage I’m definitely looking to expand my BB cream Range, Dr Jart I’m looking at you!

Do you use a BB cream? What BB cream do you recommend?

  3. Thanks for the review! I know what you mean about botanics, I also had mixed experiences. I really love the hydrating night cream, it's one of the most affordable night creams that contain hyaluronic acid. But I did find some of their cleansers a bit drying.. When it comes to choosing a base I generally use the ps beauty foundation finder http://www.beauty.ps/tool/foundation because it takes into consideration products you used and liked before and based on that makes recommendation as to what else you might want to try.. This way I found the garnier bb cream (which I really like) but this one also looks interesting, lighter coverage is great for summer:) Sammy xxx

  5. I love Maybelline's BB Cream for Oily Skin - it's such a gorgeous product and I've heard loads of other bloggers rave about it too! Currently buy one get one half price on all make up at Boots and on Maybelline at Superdrug too ;-)

  6. This looks fab on you! I really didn't get on with the Mattifying Cream, either, so I've been loathe to try this. I do have really oily skin though so BB creams tend not to last so well on me :/
