I bought the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON a while ago in an attempt to steer myself away from using foundation every day. The beauty of BB cream is that it's not meant to clog up your pores as much as foundation does. I've tried other BB cream's before and never really taken to them as I always feel like I don't have enough coverage on my face. It's taken me a while to use the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON as I have so much foundation to get through.
When I stay at my boyfriend's house I like to use the small tester bottles of Bourjois Paris that I bought from the Cosmetics Fairy website (you can read about it here). I spend so much time nowadays at my boyfriend's house that the Bourjois Paris foundation has become a beauty favourite. Nevertheless I decided to try out the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON to give my skin a break from foundation.
At home I use Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation in Nude by AVON. I used to really like the Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation in Nude by AVON as it provided even coverage, it blended well, was the perfect colour for my pale skin tone and stayed put all day. As well as this there is SPF15 in the formula which is a bonus for me as it means I don't have to worry about applying sun tan lotion over my face particularly in the warmer months.
I'm not sure if it's because I've changed my foundation and prefer to use the Bourjois Paris foundation or if there's something different with the Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation in Nude by AVON but I really dislike using this foundation now. It leaves my face feeling greasy and provides a visible shine to the skin. I also feel that it sits on top of the skin and slips off really easily now. A problem that I've never really had with AVON until recently.
When I first tried out the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON I really didn't like. Originally, I was a bit too slap happy when I applied this so it may just be that I put too much on my face but my skin has felt heavy and sticky all day from the product. I took a tissue to my face to remove some of the excess product and then followed it up by blotting my face with the Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets which seemed to supress a lot of the shine. Having read the product description however it specifies that it deliver moisture to the face so this is perhaps why I looked shiny as I always apply a base-coat of moisturiser first. Now however I love Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON and actually prefer it to my usual AVON foundation. Unlike the Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation in Nude by AVON which often leaves a greasy shine atop of my forehead, the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON doesn't do that at all! Another bonus of the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON is that it also has SPF15 in the formula which is perfect! When I first bought the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON in the same colour as the foundation which I initially thought was a shade too light for my skin, I've grown to love the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON. I looked incredibly washed out when I first applied it but as it's essentially the same colour as my skin it just looked like I had no foundation on which I guess is a good thing. I love how much coverage the Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON provides and although I still can't quite work out how much is too much to apply, I love how it looks with the rest of my make up. The Ideal Flawless Skin Loving BB Beauty Balm Cream in Nude by AVON turned out to be a surprising favourite for me.
