Makeup Wars: Our Favorite BB Creams

It is time for another Makeup War!!! This time we are searching for the Best BB Creams out there!

I am just thrilled that "BB Creams" is the Makeup Wars topic for the week as searching for the perfect BB Cream has been one of my main missions with my Foundation Fairy review series! If you happened to miss that series, feel free to check out that intro post here: Foundation Fairy: The Fair Girl's Guide to Foundation.

I will fully admit to being a bit picky when it comes to foundations. If you are going to apply something all over your skin (that you work so hard to keep clear!), the product better be fabulous, right?!?! It can be so hard to find the perfect foundation-type product. That task is compounded with having very fair and hard-to-match skin! Often even the lightest foundation shade from any given brand is just a bit too dark for my skin.

What are the Makeup Wars?
The Makeup Wars group blog hops/blog blasts about the same topic about every other week. We link to each others' posts through the themed graphic at the top of the post (see the last cream, next cream links) and the blog logo links at the bottom of this post. We encourage you readers to click the links and scroll through all of our blogs to see what manicures we are loving this year for Halloween!!! Our posts all go live at the same time. I am always so eager to click through to see what my other lovely and creative Makeup Wars girls came up with!!!

Back to BB Creams: BB Creams in a Nutshell:
BB Creams have completely flooded the market. Just about every major brand has released either a BB Cream or a tinted moisturizer repackaged as a BB Cream. BB Cream stands for Blemish Balm or Beauty Balm. They originated in Asia as post-laser treatment skin care products. Soon they became a cult favorite and eventually their popularity prompted Western brands to jump on the trend. While BB Creams vastly differ in what they offer, for the most part they are a amped-up tinted moisturizers. So, they are foundation-like products containing skincare ingredients like moisturizers, SPF, and anti-aging ingredients.

To find out what BB Cream (or Creams!) that I picked for this Makeup Wars Challenge, please keep reading!

The "Sleep Over" kit by Wei Beauty: CC Cream (the new BB Cream?)

What is it about little travel sized kits that I just love? I think that I am just a lover of all things cute and girly.

This little Birchbox-exclusive NEW kit from Wei Beauty is such an adorable concept! This To-Go Sleep Over kit is designed to keep your skin looking looking great, even if you spend the night away from home. Often nights spent away from home mean you are not getting your ideal beauty-sleep. I don't know about ya'll; but, I know that I never sleep that well unless I am in my own bed. So, perk your skin up in the morning after a fun night away with this little kit!

Not a traveler? Well, this kit is also just a more affordably priced way to try out a few products from this brand in smaller sizes.

These travel-friendly sized products can just slip right into your purse for on-the-go! This "Sleep Over" beauty kit contains Wei's Real Clean Gelled Oil Cleanser and the Ideal Skin Perfect Finish Cream. The Ideal Skin Perfect Finish Cream is an amazing new product: It is a CC Cream (more about what that is later...)!!!
