Bye Bye BB Cream… Hello CC Cream?!

PRODUCT ALERT | SKIN

By Huda Heidi Kattan

 

While you may not exactly kiss your BB Cream Goodbye, you may very well want to say hello to yet another NEW beauty must, CC Cream! Personally, I LOVE the idea of a BB Cream! A cream that fights acne CHECK, give you sun protection CHECK, makes you look pretty CHECK (It’s basically you’re Tinted Moisturizer on steroids)! But one of the newest things to come out of Asia is CC Cream! CC Creams are basically supped up BB Creams (I love that they keep taking this forward, I can’t wait till we find one cream that makes you look pretty and lose weight)! It stands for Color Control and it works very much similar to BB Creams that brighten and even tone skin! So you would get all that acne-fighting-sun-protecting-tinted-moisturizer goodness, just with some added brightening and tightening. I am SUPER psyched, although no word of when they will hit the middle east! Chanel has already launched in Asia and Olay is launching this October in the US. Looks like I will be importing a fair share of CC Creams! :)

Would you want to try this or have you had enough of these alphabet creams? Anyone have a BB Cream you love?! My favorite is Maybelline’s BB Cream which I got in the states this summer!

    I’m using the Garnier bb cream since the Maybelline one isn’t available here yet and i think it’s just about alright… I have quite apparent acne marks unfortunately so i do need to giv a touch of powder on top of it but nevertheless i think it’s a greattt invention! I’m waiting for the Maybelline to launch here so that i can try it as per your recommendation! =) btw LOVE ure blog!

    I dont know, hardly anything can pull me away from my Garnier BB cream. I love it. Only maybe if Armani makes something similar.

    I can’t wait, I love multi tasking creams like these. They’re simply awesome for busy moms.

    http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2204525&productId=xlsImpprod1250420&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80020 it has licorice and caffeine in it (reduce redness on my pale skin and puffiness under eyes) seems similar to the bb creams. No spf, that breaks me out. Heard of this line? I love everything.
    Thanks

  12. Thanks for your great tips. I have heard about bb cream but not about cc cream. I think cc cream is the latest cream, so may be it will be better than bb cream.

    Mine is Bella Aurora BB cream from Spain, bought it this summer. I wanted the Maybelline’s BB Cream but they told me that Bella Aurora is much better. Seriously I tired it and am so in love with it. Even my mother tried it and went to El Corte Ingles and got like 5 for herself. Worth a try ;)

    I would love to try this why not it’s just adding more benefits to my skin! But I would love it if we get a good share of color varieties. Hope they hit the west soon!
