Review (5/5): BBs are revolutionary, this makes it easy to find out why
I had heard that BBs were the new rage but my brain was stuck on the need to match my skintone to the makeup, so I didn't feel comfortable buying it online if I couldn't see the color. Buying this kit helped me to realize that my hesitation over color was a silly concern. While it does look like foundation, it does not behave like foundation. I'm not sure what it uses to create the effect but I'm going to say that rather than pigment, it contains some sort of magical light diffuser. Up close, you cannot tell you are wearing any makeup. You can still see your sunspots and tone issues. However, step away from the mirror and suddenly they all disappear and your skin looks dewy and spot free. This is as revolutionary to makeup as Spanx was to the fashion world. You're wearing makeup but no one can tell. Brilliant!!!
Although the color is not something you need to worry about, the package does allow you to experiment with the different types of BBs that are out there. Some offer more coverage than others, some don't work as well with oily t-zones. I will definitely be purchasing a full size BB from this kit and am glad I took the risk to try the products. Additionally, the shipping from the seller was very fast. I ordered another sample kit from the Mischa (sp?) brand and it's been 2 weeks and I still haven't received it. It must be coming by boat from Korea and then will be walked to DC from the west coast, as it is not slated to arrive for another 2 weeks. Ridiculous!
