BB Creams, Oh The Obsession!


Hey Mom!  Make up take too long??

I know what every mother thinks, “I don’t have time to do make up anymore”.  I think there is a picture going around on FB and I quote “I traded eyeliner for dark circles, salon hair cuts for a pony tail, designer jeans for sweat pants, long hot bathes for  lucky if I get
A shower, late nights for early morning cartoons, designer purses for diaper bags and I wouldn’t change a thing”. 

Moms!  It does not have to be this way!  As tired as we can all become, all the running around, cleaning up the messes, trying to remember each and every little thing we must not forget to do!  But that is the problem, we forget to do them.  I am a mother of 2 boys myself,  I know what its like to forget things, however, because not all of us  mom’s wear “Mom Jeans” I want to let mother’s out there know about  how they can always have a nice clean slate to work with make-up wise!  BB Cream!

What is BB Cream you ask??  Beauty Balm.  I love BB cream because it really cuts the time in half when going into my make up regimen.  It does so much for such a little tube!  It conceals, brightens, evens out the skin tone and gives just the right amount of coverage.  With all the BB Cream craze now, its kind of hard not to give it the benefit of the doubt.

You have to know that BB Cream is my new secret weapon.  I love this stuff, it really gives me a chance to put my best face forward everyday.  When I feel like a million bucks, I certainly act like it!  What  a little make up can do to boost the confidence is amazing.  A little something for myself couldn’t hurt right?  Not at all.  So I tried it and I LOVE it!
Investing a little bit of time and money into our skin is always a plus!  Here are some of my favorite BB Creams:

Dr. JART + Premium Beauty Balm – I love the light weight formula.  Its SPF 45 and it coverage is amazing.  It really helps to even things out lovely.  $39.00 Sephora.com

Stila Stay all day 10 in 1 HC Beauty Balm – I love that is one acts like a primer as well.  This one really preps the skin for your next make up application in such a flawless way with out all the Junk that clogs the pores!  $38.00 Sephora.com

MAC  Prep + Prime SPF 35 – This one is awesome, it really stays where you put it and helps protect the skin from sun damage and lightly tinted to really work with your natural beauty! $30.00 MACcosmetics.com

L’Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream -  I was really shocked when I tried this one, it was light weight and really made my skin glow, all in one application!  $10.95 Duane Reade

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB -  This one gave me the most compliments from strangers!  I loved the coverage, the formula is amazing,  I really gave my face everything it needed to look fresh and ready for the day.  It lasts a super long time and is super light weight.  It also has SPF 30!  Protecting my skin to the fullest.  I even thought my skin felt super hydrated!  $9.95 CVS or Duane Reade.

SO whether you invest $30 or $9.95, taking a few minutes to do something for you is so rewarding in the end.  Every mom deserves it!  Celebrate your beauty!
