When my friend, Fenny sent me an Asian care-package, I was overwhelmed by the amount of "BB" and "CC" samples. I was aware that the BB and CC trend began in Asia, where after its incredible popularity, the western side decided to make some themselves. It was annoying for me, to be honest. In 2013 American beauty companies starting adding BB, CC and even DD to their labels. Even drugstores started "making" - and I used quotation marks because I know of some brands who had BB Creams out but they had the same ingredient list as previous products. In other words, they just changed the label but you were basically getting the same exact product.
What is a "BB Cream" though? It stands for Beauty Balm.
What is a "CC Cream"? It's a correcting cream.
The whole idea behind this is that you get your SPF, moisturizer, primer and foundation all in one. Perfect for gals on the go who have very little time to get ready in the mornings.
Fenny advised me to use the CC Cream prior to the BB Cream. Today I will be reviewing a lovely duo she sent me which I have just fallen head over heals. I've been using it non-stop in the mornings. Hope you enjoy.
