Covergirl CG Smoothers BB Cream Review

Covergirl CG smoothers BB Cream

Hello girlies,

It is celebration time for me!!!! The reason being I completed my 200 reviews on my last article. It is just a year that I have joined IMBB but it feels like so many years. The support from the IMBB team and love from all my dearies is the greatest thing about this blog. I always wish to be a part of this blog and will try to contribute as much as I can from the bottom of my heart. I am  crazy behind BB creams and love to try almost each and every BB cream possible. Hence from the US haul I got this covergirl BB cream because I had used Covergirl stuff earlier and almost every make-up product worked great for me. Let’s see how this suits my skin.

My take on Covergirl CG smoothers BB cream

I purchased this BB cream in the lightest shade which they call fair but here precisely we call it the ivory shade. I had a doubt whether it would look to white on me but thank god it suited my skin tone perfectly. It came in a packet and the BB cream comes in a white and sky blue tube which looks very decent and easy to carry too. The cap opens up and the hole in there is too small which is actually great for the needed amount to come out. As said it does not contain any fragrance and I like it this way . The consistency of the BB cream is very smooth and can be blended easily on the skin. I have used many BB creams and some feel really dry on the skin and enhance the patchy look of the skin but this one provided equal amount of moisturisation and there was no need of a moisturiser underneath too. But since I believe in applying or using products which have higher SPF content, I have to any which ways apply a sunscreen beneath because this has only SPF 15 which is pretty low for the sensitive face area. A pea sized amount is needed and it blends and spreads like a dream. Not even a minute is required to spread it up.

It makes the skin look smoother and provides a very natural glow and no one will be able to make out that you have actually applied something. Although it does help in concealing any blemishes, it makes the skin look fresh and does not make it dull, all day long. It does not go into the phase of oxidation like most BB creams and the fair look is maintained for the entire day. It does not leave an oily cast or greasy film behind on the skin and the skin looks very silky. It helps to maintain the even-tone of the skin and lasts for around 4-5 hours. The only debatable point about the claim is that it cannot be called a BB cream because neither does it provide a great coverage nor conceals; it can be rightly called only a tinted moisturiser because the moisturising power is greater than the other BB creams that I have tried. I also noticed that for the first time it was a bit thick but the next time I used it; I could see an oily base when I took it out of the tube but it did not break me out so it was fine for me. It was a good BB cream at that price and I love using it currently without any hesitation.

Cons of Covergirl CG smoothers BB Cream

-It does not provide any coverage to the skin and does not conceal even minor blemishes or redness
-Not available in India

Will I repurchase/recommend Covergirl CG smoothers BB cream?

Yes, I will not mind getting it again because I don’t prefer a lot of coverage or concealing for every day look and it provides a very good glow and does not oxidise too. I will recommend it to people who do not need a lot of coverage; then this product is really great to go with because it even-tones skin and provides moisturistation too.
