I have read a lot about BB creams recently and thought Id give them a go, I have been looking for a foundation that isn't too cakey but a offers a bit more coverage than a tinted moisturiser.
I bought the loreal one

it is fantastic! I cant believe how good the product is and how great my skin looks I have to keep looking in the mirror:D
has anyone else tried a BB cream ?

I used to use Chanel foundation all the time, but I think I'd find it too cakey now.
This is the only BB cream I've tried though. I'd be interested to see if anyone recommends a different brand
I agree, I've looked grey and drained all week after having a chest infection, my nose is red and sore from wiping so many times, I put this on this morning, first time Id used it and I cant believe how nice it made my skin, the airbrushed look is how to describe it. I looked a million times better !
Is it the loreal one you have used?
has anyone tried a CC cream, Is there a major difference?
Yes the loreal is the only one I've tried so far. I got a free sample from somewhere and was so impressed I bought a tube. What's a cc cream?
lol I know I thought that

they look like colour correcting creams?
However, I received a 'proper' Asian BB cream in a make up swap and it was amazing. It was the perfect colour, had excellent coverage, and wasn't at all cakey.
The downside to these is that they're not easily available (I buy them on eBay) and don't come in many shades.
I gather its a form of foundation, based on comments above.. I've never heard of bb cream (nor cc cream did that matter..)
The Dreamgirls one is great, I get that from eBay, it makes my skin glow. The Maybelline Dream Fresh is the best one from the shops that I've tried so far (Garnier one is horrible!), and I want to try the L'Oreal Nude one.
Would a BB cream suit me? I like the texture of the Simple moisturiser but could do with a bit more even-ing out now I'm almost the ripe old age of 26
I'd buy one except they're really expensive. Can you get free samples anywhere?
BB creams are basically tinted moisturisers, some people like them because they are supposedly a moisturiser, primer and foundation all in one, though I've never been lucky enough to find one that does all three jobs effectively. They are good for summer though, that's when I'll start using mine again.
I saw a Simple BB cream in B&M Bargains (don't know if you have them where you are?) for £1.99. That's the cheapest I've seen them anywhere.
I'm 27 and use mine daily because it's a light moisturiser, it evens my skin tone, but doesn't look as though you're wearing any make-up at all. I've had comments about my skin 'glowing'. Plus, because it's a fluid texture it is so quick to apply. Foundation always seems to need a lot of blending. And another thing I like is that the one I use seems more gel-based (just checked - it is gel based) so you can use it on areas where you couldn't normally apply moisturiser, like my nose which can get oily very quickly. It doesn't clog. You don't even know you are wearing it!
I use Maybelline's dream BB. Bought it buy 1 get one half price from Boots, so it worked about £5 a tube. There was another deal before that - 2 products for £7. As soon as they repeat that, I'm stocking up!

Though it doesn't say so on the site you can also get it in Sainsbury's and they regularly shave £2 or so off the price, from memory this makes it £5.99 instead of £7.99 at current prices.
