Ready For Summer BB Cream

Summer is finally approaching! Yay!!


It's the perfect time to be outdoors and enjoy the weather. We are often busy planning a long vacation or a weekend getaway.  Sometimes we forget the damage the sun has on our skin during these hot months. 


We should wear an SPF on our face everyday to prevent sun damage. But this is especially important during the summer months.  The tricky part is trying to find something that has enough coverage without making the face look greasy. In all likely hood you will get a little sweaty and will not really touch up any makeup.  If you have oily skin and live in a really hot climate like me this is an almost impossible task.


I have tried some BB and CC creams over the years. Some have been OK some have been bad and some horrible.  I recently found one I actually like and can easily replace my foundation most days.  After researching and reading customer reviews I purchased the Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 by Tarte. 


Wow! Just wow.  Let me first say that I love Tarte Cosmetics and have some of their products. Their products have great benefits and are free of many chemicals that many cosmetics have.  You can find out more on their website tartecosmetics.com.  This BB cream though is wonderful. It has a light coverage but more than I have experienced with any other BB or CC cream. It glides on smoothly, sets well and leaves a powdery but not cakey feeling. I often set it with a powder, pressed or loose.  This makes the BB cream last longer. I love using it with my Laura Mercier Translucent loose powder. I can achieve glowing skin which I was never able to do with my oily skin cause my skin would quickly become an oil slick.   I have used this BB cream from 8AM to 8PM and it holds up pretty well.  It comes in a squeeze tube with a wooden screw top. Very typical for Tarte.  It comes in 8 shades and retails for $36.00.  It is not an inexpensive BB by all means.  But I get it. It really acts like a light foundation with SPF. It was also voted Readers Choice by Allure Magazine in 2015.  So I guess most people agree this is a great product.


Looking forward to wearing this much more in the months to come. Highly recommend.


Happy Summer
