Bourjois 123 Perfect CC cream









I have many foundations, in fact far too many! Its an addiction, I am always on the hunt for that perfect air brush finish base, my hunt will probably never end and I have a number of beautiful favorite foundations which tick all the boxes. Yet, I am still not satisfied, does any one else have this problem? just me?

Well over the last month or so I have fallen in love with a new base product...let me tell you more.

The Bourjois 123 Perfect CC cream has been hyped about in the blogging world and being the easily sold blogger I am I had to give it a try. 

I will be totally honest I have never really understood the BB or CC obsession, its just a tinted moisturizer with a fancy name right? Well that was until now, oh my gosh I adore this CC cream. I purchased this in the shade rose beige for £10.99 from boots. 

The Bourjois CC cream has three colour correcting pigments that smooth away imperfections, apricot pigments to combat anti fatigue, green pigmentation to get rid of redness and finally white pigment to banish dark spots. Sounds like a miracle formula for a base product. 

This CC cream has a thin runny like consistency, I have been using my real techniques buffing brush to buff this into the skin, which I find blends really evenly into the skin. The consistency of this formula could definitely be blended in with fingers but if your a regular reader of my blog you will know I cant use my fingers to apply make up, its a germ thing.

Even though this is a light coverage base I was surprised how much it covered and perfected my skin. I get redness particularly around my cheeks and nose and this took away all the redness and dark circles under my eyes, it has good staying power and lasted a good 7 hours on my skin. I probably touched up with powder once in the middle of the day but this is quite normal for skin. 

The CC cream left my skin perfected and even, leaving it looking fresh and awake with a natural and radiant glow. Its basically your skin but better.

This formula actually really reminds of  the ultra light Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, which is probably one of my favorite foundations ever, I have probably gone through four bottles, so that's probably why I adore this CC cream so much. 

I have literally used this CC cream everyday since I purchased it back in February and I can safely say I will be repurchasing again once this bottle runs out and I cant recommend it enough, seeing as my other foundations have sat unused and abandoned. 

Have you tried the Bourjois 123 perfect CC, What do you think?

Thanks for reading beauts
