This past week, I wore a different brand of BB for each day of the week just to compare them to each other. I always had favourites though. I think things like foundation, tinted moisturizer, BB cream, or even cream is very subjective due to difference of skin type and what people prefer in terms of consistency and feel. I have oily skin, and a few acne scars. Personally I like my face products to feel light on my skin. I have big pores, and some redness especially around my nose. Before applying BB cream, I moisturize my face with a moisturizer that has SPF.
After taking these pictures, I realized I have to come up with a prettier or better way of displaying it. Also I never realized how dry my hands looked.
Tarte BB: Amazonian clay BB Illuminating Moisturizer
Made in USA.
Breakdown
Coverage
Light coverage on my face. It is an Illuminating BB cream. The illuminating part is very subtle and not overwhelming. On the picture below, you can not see the glitter particles but when I swatch it at night, against my iPhone flashlight or my lamp light, I can see the glitter. The Illuminating portion looks nice on my swatch but I didn't notice it on my face. The colour looks a bit more tan on me.
Consistency
Medium. Easy to spread. In my picture it looks like it separated a little between the oil and the product. I'm not sure what happened here. I bought this small size last month.
Smell
Not much of a scent.
SPF
Not the one I tried.
Colour Range
Only this colour for the Illuminating one which is Champagne colour. Tarte has just came out with a line of BB cream primer with a range of shades.
Size
My size is 9mL. On the website it is U$32 for the regular size.
Final Thoughts
I bought this at Sephora with the Tarte Prime, Shine & Define Tarte-To-Go Kit. I didn't use the primer before using this BB Illuminating Moisturizer. I like the Tarte line of the Amazonian clay products but I wasn't into this. I think it's only because it looked pretty dark on my face. I didn't have much to say about this in my notes, so I don't think there was anything really special about this. I did use my MUFE HD powder to set this.
