-The Body Shop All in One BB Cream-



This is one product that I have been using continuously over the past year. I was not fond of bb creams at first, but this is one cream that changed that forever.
The all in one BB cream can be purchased at any TBS outlet for PKR 2000. Now I agree the price is a bit steep, especially considering all the cheaper options available in the market, but it has been on my repurchase list. 1 tube lasts me about 3-4 months easily.



Product Description:
Adapts to your skin tone, offers light to medium coverage, even finish, 25 hour hydration, and does not clogs pores.




My Experience:
This particular tube is a 25 ml tube, which when you see looks really tiny as compared to the investment you just made. But a little goes a long way in this case. On first impressions, I liked the metallic effect tube packaging, which is functional as well as aesthetically pleasing.
The Body Shop All-in-One BB Cream is designed as a color adapt BB cream so it looks grey-white when you first squeeze it out of the tube but is suppose to adapt to suit your skin tone upon application.
The consistency of the cream is very watery and runny. So it gets a bit messy in the summers esp when the cream collects in the cap of the tube. A nozzle would have been much greater.Its best applied with a foundation brush and top it off with a pressed powder.



The cream has tiny balls which burst upon contact with skin and match your skin tone, changing the color of the whole formula. But it does make skin shiny so for all those who were hoping for a matte finish this isn't the thing for you.


There are just 3 shades available, Light-Medium and Dark. I got the 02 and it works out really well for me. The thing i like about the shades is that they can be easily applied on the desi skin tone.
The coverage of the BB cream is light to medium so don't expect it to cover any spots or blemishes. But it does stay on for a good 9-10 hours when applied with a powder. Can also be used as a base for foundation if you are going for a dewy look.


It can come off a little orange when first applied which is why I instantly thought 'urgh' on first use but It does, however, settle down and after a little while does adapt more to your skin tone and become more seamlessly blended.
Suitable for people with dry, normal and combination skin. Since its already shiny it makes oily skin look like an oil tank.
But i'm personally in love with the product and will buy it again for sure :)
