FORMULATION: 

Complexion Rescue is a combination of a BB cream, CC cream AND a tinted moisturizer all in one. I was fairly surprised at how much I loved this product. Over the years I have not been a huge fan of Bare Minerals' foundations. There was something about them that never looked 100% right on my skin. This foundation however I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! It is very hydrating and feels very light on the skin. The texture is a gel like consistency which makes for easy application and blending. 

It wears on skin for quite a long time especially with a primer underneath. The coverage is pretty great and adjustable to your preference. Layer as much or little as you like. The finish is a natural glow within look, not too matte or too shiny. It also contains SPF 30!!!

GREAT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES

This is a great grab and go product. You can use your fingers for application so no need to fuss with so many brushes in the morning. It is also a one step product meaning you don't have to layer your moisturizer, SPF and foundation just put this on clean skin and you are good to go! 

OVERALL 5/5

NEW @ CVS! MUA BB/CC Cream Brush

MUA BB/CC CREAM BRUSH

Recently released at CVS stores nationwide, MUA offers high quality cosmetic brushes for an affordable price. The BB/CC Cream is a round top duo fiber synthetic foundation. This brush is amazing. It applies foundation so smooth and even and gives up an airbrush finish. The brush has just enough density to pick up enough product. The only issues I have with their face brushes especially this one is that the handles are very thick and big so they do add a bit of weight. Also they do have a shedding problem when you first open them and as always clean your brushes before use even new ones (the shedding does go away for this brush after use, I personally haven't had any problems)!

These brushes are found at CVS and price ranges from $10-$30. They aren't the cheapest brushes especially being a drugstore product but compared to say MAC brushes which ranges from $20 and up these brushes are a steal. They have the look and feel of expensive brushes just without the hefty price tags.

BB/CC Cream Brush $18.95

NEW!!! Maybeliine Pure BB Cream

I first encountered this product in Asia sometime last year through a friend of mine who is a consultant for Maybelline and the only other countries that had this were the UK and Australia, so you could imagine my surprise when I found this in the States at Wal-Mart out of all places. 

The original Dream Fresh BB Cream came out a couple of years ago and became one of my staples during the spring and summer seasons. However, this one is even better! The Pure BB Cream has all the original benefits from the Dream Fresh BB Cream but with an addition of 2% Salicylic Acid. I been breaking out like crazy these last few months and was glad this product came out when it did. 

It is super light weight and very easy to apply and blend. The coverage on this one is 100000x better than the Dream Fresh. I personally would be reaching for this one more.

Wear time depends on skin type. I have dry skin and this stayed on pretty much all day with a primer underneath. 

The only place I have seen this available in the States is at Wal-Mart for $8. I have yet to see this at drugstores yet but will update you guys when I do.
