Rimmel BB Cream 9 in 1 Make up

I recently picked up the new Rimmel BB Cream 9 in 1 Make up whilst at my local Boots Store. This BB Cream is just £6.99, has an SPF 25, and I opted for the shade Medium.

I am not a huge fan of BB creams and the only time I really choose to wear them is when I am on vacation. Lately, my skin as been the best it as been in years, so I have been opting for lighter coverage foundations and bases. This particular BB cream offers 'some' coverage but definitely not the coverage of a foundation, so if you do have blemishes, etc, then this is probably not going to cut it!

Shade wise, this BB cream was available in 3 shades, light, medium and dark. I firstly swatched the light shade, which was far too light, so I opted for 'Medium'. The medium shade is perhaps a little too dark but when blended into the skin, actually looks quite natural.

This BB cream claims to create the perfect 9-part regimen in one easy step, Moisturises, Minimises Pores, Covers, Conceals, Mattifies, Smoothes, Brightens and Protects. As far as BB creams go, this one offers good coverage. It is not going to cover any stubborn blemishes by any means, but it covers any redness or uneven skintone easily enough.

This BB cream left my skin feeling really smooth, hydrated and noticeably brighter. It did cover and conceal to some extent but in terms of being 'mattyfying'?, not so much on my oily skin! My skin was oily again within an hour and so if I was too wear this BB cream, I would definitely need to carry about a mattyfying powder to touch up during the day!

Overall, I wouldn't repurchase this product again. I cannot say how it would work for combination of more dry skin types, but for my skin type, it just didn't cut it!
