If they aren't already, BB creams should be on your must-have list, especially if you happen to love the TikTok-approved “no makeup makeup” look (AKA the “clean girl aesthetic”). In fact, I'll take a wild guess and assume that your very first complexion product was probably a BB cream (I know mine was). And guess what? Ten years after my teenage self tried it for the very first time, I became a beauty journalist and I'm still not ready to move on. I have reviewed some of the best foundations, skin tints and tinted moisturisers on the market, but it's safe to say that BB creams hold a special place in my heart. The cover is light and if you need a product to cover imperfections in your skin. This is not a product for you. But since my skin is quite ok I really don’t want a high coverage product. The light cover of Loreal BB C’est Magic suits me and the result looks really natural on my skin. The BB cream is super liquid and lightweight, so it is easy to get too much product out. But just bare that in mind when squeezing the tube. Sadly it is really strongly scented. And it smells perfumy, which is really something I hate. The scent does linger for quite some time on my skin as well.

When you first squeeze the product out, it is white. But as soon as you apply it to your face it turns into skin color. When you have a product like this you really need to apply it with your fingers and not a brush or a sponge. This due to that the warmth of you hands simply activates the color pigments in the cream. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.Now, the downside is that the shade was a tad too light for my skin tone. I ended up looking a bit washed out, so I've passed it along to a friend.

Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). But fear not, full coverage lovers, because BB creams do come in various formulations, some of which will deliver just as much coverage as any good ol' foundation. Of course, there's also options with buildable and lightweight coverage that will give you that “your-skin-but-better” finish.Let's start with the positives. The coverage is pretty decent, giving me a fair amount of coverage without completely masking my skin. It's nice to see my natural texture peeking through, giving a more authentic look. It's refreshing to be able to just apply this over moisturiser especially in summer.
Also, I noticed the texture was a bit thin to begin with, and that wasn't the most pleasant feeling on my skin. When I mixed it on my hand instead of applying to my face, it was fine. I really love BB creams. I am not that into foundations since I do tend to think that foundations in general is too much product for me. And I really do like a natural look to my skin. When I was looking at this product before buying it. A lot of people were saying that the color is rather dark. I decided to go for medium light, since I felt that is normally what I need. I also have yellow undertones so I do expect this shade to be right for me. Personal preferences aside, BB creams are a great skincare/makeup hybrid product. They're perfect if you're after the coverage minus the cakey feel. Plus, since most of them feature skin-loving ingredients such as vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, your face will be protected and hydrated all day long. I also have super dry skin. And I really mean super dry. There are not many products that can make my skin feel amazing all day. And I don’t expect this one to do so either.Aqua / Water, Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Peg-10 Dimethicone, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Isoeicosane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer, Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone, Boron Nitride, Sodium Chloride, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Hexyl Laurate, Isosteary L Neopentanoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Methylparaben, Parfum / Fragrance, Triethyl Citrate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Tocopherol, Panthenol, Perfluorooctyl Triethoxysilane, Limonene, Ficus Carica Fruit/Leaf Extract – Fig Fruit/Leaf Extract, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate [+/- May Contain: Ci 77891 / Titanium Dioxide, Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499 / Iron Oxides]. (F.I.L. B228918/2) My thoughts on Loreal BB C’est Magic Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. Not my shade, but decent formula [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Alright, so here's my take on this BB cream – it's a bit of a mixed bag, but not all bad.
Great Deal
