The Body Shop: All-in-One BB Cream Review

This is a quick review on the All-in-one BB Cream from The Body Shop!
This BB cream comes in three shades: 1 as light, 2 as medium, 3 as dark. The BB cream originally cost $20 but with the 50% off, I got its for $10! *thumbs up*

The key figure of this BB cream is that its "Colour-Adapting", meaning the cream itself can change its shade to fit your skin colour. How it works is it contains pigment micro beads and when you start rubbing the cream into your skin the beads would burst and changing the colour. It doesn't actually "adapt" to your skin colour but its actually quiet cool to see the colour changing as you rub!

The coverage is fairly light in comparison to other BB creams such as Super + BB from Skin79. It would be great for those of you who doesn't like to put on that much make up yet have a bit of coverage. I am still recovering from my acne scars so just with this BB cream, it definitely didn't cover it perfectly (but there's always concealer as the backup plan!). One thing I feel it needs improvement on is variations of shades that is available. Even though I got the lightest shades out of the three, yet the shade is still too dark on me :( ! However, I really like how moisturize this BB cream is and doesn't make your face look super oily! With BB creams, your face can never look TOO CAKEY!

Overall, I would give this BB cream a 8/10.

Topbox March 2013

This month's topbox did not impress me that much. But it's okay I m cool with it!
So here goes....!



Aveda Caribbean Therapy Body Creme (25ml)

Vera Wang Lovestruck Floral Rush (4ml)
L'Oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil x 2 (3ml)
MaskerAide I don't want grow up Lift, Firm & soften Fine Lines






Few of my girlfriends also chose the regular Topbox rather than the privebox for this month. They each got a little something different in their box. One got the Chloe perfume, another got the Clinique eye serum or mascara.

What did you end up getting in your Topbox this month? Let me know because I am super curious!
