First Impression- The Body Shop All-in-One Primer and BB Cream

Yesterday, I went to shopping with my sister. I went only looking for some new make up and a bag, and I succeeded.
   I went in to the body shop, and saw the All-In-One BB Cream. This has been so popular everywhere lately, I must be so late to the game. All of the beauty bloggers and YouTubers love it, and I really wanted to try it out.
   My experiences in the Body Shop have always been great, but the lovely lady who helped me on this occasion was exceedingly wonderful. She came over, and I got a bit, scared almost. I am 16 years old but being very short, I look a lot younger. When I do go shopping in beauty shops, I sometimes get treated strangely. Some shop assistants almost expect that I won't buy anything, or I'm too young for their products. This aggravates me, and when customer assistants do approach me, I get a little nervous, expecting they are going to look down on me in some way.
   The girl in the body shop, came over to me very happy and cheery, and saw that I had picked up the BB Cream. 'Oh my God you've saw our BB Cream! It's been all over the magazines this month, have you seen our offer?' She showed me that I got the primer half price with the BB Cream, and I was so tempted. Obviously she was trying to get me to buy it, that was her job after all. She said all these lovely things about this magical BB Cream and was ecstatic when I decided to purchase it. As I left the store, she shouted, 'You'll fall in love with it! Come back and let me know if you like it!'
   I have fallen in love with it. This review is my first impression, as I used it for the first time today, but so far, it is magical.
 I first used the Instablur primer, and when I initially put it on my hand, it looked almost grainy, like an exfoliate.
However, when I put it on my face, I immediately felt a difference. My face suddenly felt so smooth, and I only used a tiny tiny bit. So the Instablur primer was a hit.

   I then used the BB cream. I knew that it was a colour adapting cream, so obviously it initially came out white with little specks of skin tone.

And again, when I put this on my face, it changed everything. I loved the way it adapted to MY skin tone. I am very pale, and I find it very difficult to find a foundation that isn't orange, but also doesn't make me look like a ghost. This was perfect. I can't say enough good things about it. 

This is a picture of me with only these 2 products on. I have no concealer, eye makeup or any other foundations. 
It gave me good coverage, without feeling like I had painted my face. I felt like I had no make up on, but I looked a bit better than if I actually didn't! 

The pack of the 2 was £20, which is a little bit more expensive than another drug store BB cream or foundation, but it was worth it.

So, if you are looking for a light foundation or BB cream, I would definitely suggest you try this one out! 

Until next time,
