My Top Three Drugstore BB Creams.


I love BB creams. They always save me when my skins needs a pick me up but i don't want to put a full face of foundation on. Most of these three can be purchased in a local drugstore.

My first favourite is The Body Shop 'Vitamin E Cool BB Cream'. It is very light coverage so it is perfect for when I just want to throw something on. It comes in a universal shade (it is so light coverage it doesn't really matter) and is very moisturising. It lasts a fairly long time (I use it about three times a week, I have had it for two months and I'm half way through) so it's good value for money. The only bad thing about this product is that it is VERY light coverage which can sometimes be good but mostly bad).

The Body Shop - £11 - 50ml

The next product is the Topshop BB cream. I have it in the shade number 1.0 which is perfect in the summer (a little too orange toned in the winter). I love the packaging aswell, it's a stylish shiny mirror effect so it doesn't ever look dirty in your makeup bag. This product is more expensive than The Body Shop one but is worth it for the coverage difference. However, The Body Shop one would definitely be better than this one for skincare. The Body Shop one contains many nutrients and vitamins to care for your skin whereas the Topshop one doesn't. However, this also contains SPF 20 which is always a bonus!

Topshop - £10 - 30ml

My final and favourite BB cream is the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB. I have it in the shade medium. It suits my skin quite well but still is a bit dark. I love this product because, first of all, it contains SPF 30. This means that (because I'm lazy) I won't have to put sun cream on in the summer. It is also oil free and lasts all day. I prefer to use it without a moisturiser because I think the coverage can look a little light when used with moisturiser but it depends on personal preference. Finally, this is an awesome product because it is so easy to blend. You can even apply it without a brush and it will easily blend seamlessly into the skin, with no smudge marks or lines. 

Boots - £7.99 - 30ml
