Top Drugstore Foundations and BB Creams

Hey guys! I thought it would be a good idea to show you the top drugstore foundations and BB creams that I use as I don't really purchase high end products. I hope this comes in useful when you are looking for one your self :)


The first foundation I would like to show you is the Rimmel London wake me up foundation in the shade true ivory. Out of the 4 products I am going to write about, this is my favorite and most recent purchase. I love this foundation. The normal retail price is around  £7.99 I think but I actually managed to pick it up for £5.00 in a sale at Super Drug along with some other items. One thing I particularly like about this foundation is that it makes your skin look so fresh and awake. I really like this aspect because it is great in the morning when you are feeling very tired and I am definitely saving my money to buy the concealer. Another thing I love about this foundation is that it has a great coverage, I would say that it has a medium coverage but if you put a fair amount of it on your skin, it is easy to build up. I could go on talking about how it has SPF 15 and anti-fatigue but I will probably bore you so my rating for this foundation is 5/5.

This is the Garnier miracle skin perfector daily all in one BB cream in the shade light. I have actually ran out of this as you may be able to tell from the bottle in the picture, I am quite sad I have ran out because this is one of the best BB creams I have ever had! It doesn't have the best coverage in the world however it is good for a BB cream. When I was wearing this as a foundation, I thought it looked really good with the loose powder by natural collection. This product is quite heavy but it last for a very long time and I have had this since my birthday (December) last year. I found that it doesn't stay on all day and does tend to come off towards the middle of the day however I really liked this BB cream and my rating for this is 4/5.

This is the Collection 2000 Lasting perfection ultimate wear foundation in the shade honey which is slightly too dark for my skin however when I blend it in it does look quite nice. This product claims to have 16 hour wear which is true in a way. I don't believe that it stays on for 16 hours however I think it does last for a very long time and this would usually be what I put on my skin if I was going out or for a special occasion etc.The coverage is quite heavy which I really like meaning that I don't have to apply much to my skin for it to look really good. It definitely covers up any spots and blemishes and looks really good on the skin. I do like this foundation but it isn't my favourite and therefore I am going to rate it 3/5.

This is the L'oréal Paris Nude magique BB cream in the shade light. This BB cream has quite an interesting concept as when you first apply it to your skin it is white with small pigments in it. However as you start rubbing and blending it into your skin, you will notice that it begins to change colour to your skin tone. I recon that it comes out slightly darker on me than I expected, especially on my forehead but it gives quite a good coverage if you put quite a lot on. It looks fairly nice on the skin and also has SPF 12 meaning that my skin doesn't burn in the how either. Also this BB cream claims to have 24 hour hydration which is fairly true as it makes my skin feel really nice, smooth and moisturised and this lasts for most of the day. I can pick out a couple of flaws in this BB cream and is most definitely not my favourite, there for I am also rating it 3/5.
