Kiehl's Jump Onto The BB Train

I'll be the first person to say that I am a lover of highly pigmented and full coverage foundations,
Only, a few months ago, I started a course of Roaccutane (comment or like this post if you would like me to tell you all about my course) and my skin has since cleared up!
I do, however, still have post-acne scarring.

This is where Kiel's comes in!!


Kiehl's has a promotion where you can try the BB cream before you buy it, I have tanned skin and live in Australia so my choices are very limited when it comes to colour range and options to buy less overpriced products. I've been trying this sample of the Natural shade of their BB cream and it fits me very well!

I put the BB cream on top of my Aveeno moisturiser and absolutely love the way it makes my skin feel! it's moisturising, light and not heavily scented and the coverage is beautiful and it has a broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF30!

I pop some MAC mineralise skin-finish powder on my cheeks to contour and a little concealer under my eyes and I'm pretty much done!

Kiehls, I am proud to say, I love your products and am now a Konvert!

Stay Foxie XOXO

PS, here are some swatches of the colours (I JUST fit into the natural shade)

M.A.C Introducing A BeautyBalm!



MAC has introduced a new BB cream called the "MAC Prep And Prime Beauty Balm".
While it has been on the US market and many European markets for a wile now, it's fairly new to the Aussie market.
It has got an SPF of 35 and some coverage that blurs imperfections. While it has been called a Beauty Balm, those of you who are into the real deal, you'll know that BB creams produced in Asia are the ones to go to. However, they're not always readily accessible to everyone, this is where companies like MAC come in.

It's quite sheer coverage and won't be of any good use to people with acne, scarring or large amounts of imperfections. However, if you're blessed with clear skin,
 A)How DO you do it?!
and B) this BB will give you the perfect finish to swipe on and go!

For those ladies who dont want to spend long in the mornings, a touch of this and a flick of mascara and away you go!
Stay Foxie! ~K~
