No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream for Normal / Dry skin Medium Medium

Product Information

Just tried this product in normal/oily, I use it on top of a simple nivea moisturiser and its really fab. I've been a bit disappointed with the BB creams I've tried as they've been too sheer and made me shiny but this looks good. It does have some staying power but I like to add setting powder to ensure a longer last and disguise the oily look which it has.

It comes in 2 shades – fair and medium – and the range also includes a variant for Normal/Dry skin and Combination/Oily skin. It certainly it stands up to the rigours of driving a desk in my office, so all in all, I’m very impressed!I have the Normal/dry skin because my skin is quite good except the odd spurts of dry areas around my nose sometimes in this weather. The product itself is simple although looks cheaper than you pay for but the squeeze bottle makes it easy to handle and you know you can get the product out easily ensuring no waste.

I know the ones sold in the UK are mostly like a tinted moisturiser and don’t have the same skincare benefits as the Asian counterparts but I like their light coverage and often dewy finish.Although it’s not incredibly long-lasting (I got about 5-6 hours out of it before I noticed it fading) and I did need to set it with a little bit of powder, it’s a really really good product and overall, I’m very impressed. It doesn’t have great staying power but if you need a light coverage if you’re just popping out this is a good one. Our 7-in-1 formula delivers instant radiance and hydration while helping to even out the appearance of skin tone and reduce the appearance of pores. I have never got the BB hype but because it is claiming to be a tinted moisturiser with good coverage , UV protection and great for your skin I thought it time to try it out.

As you can see from the above pictures, the No7 BB cream is on the thick side, and on initially squeezing from the tube (you need to shake it first), it feels very rich and nourishing.

Very minimalist which is great because I hate those over packaging's with so much information you need a week to read it before you get into the box. I’m really enjoying what feels like a bonus inclusion for the dry/very dry camp and this delivers well on not exacerbating any symptoms of dry skin.
