Ok, so as most of you know, we already have the CC Creams now after the BB creams..and the rest till Z will follow soon 😀
Coming to this Sleek MakeUP CC cream, it comes in this white and black cap packaging and has a small nozzle dispensor which just dispenses just the required perfect amount..no wastage here!
The shade Light is like my second skin! It suits me so perfectly, or its the CC cream’s color adaptive technology that makes me feel so. But I don’t feel there is anything on apart my skin, it blends and feels so seamless.
At the same time, its a little rich and hydrating..it plumps up my skin. And gives that soft, dewy, hydrated, glossy skin. I have combination skin, but I love base products that give me dewy skin. I am not a matte skin lover..I like it dewy and natural. So, for me, this formula works perfect. For oily skin, you will definitely need to powder up with this and touch up later.
It stays on me for a good whole day when I am out..has stayed 6-7 hours easily. And does not transfer much, a little on tissue, when there is too much humidity. You know I live in Mumbai and we all sweat like pigs once out of the house !
And as far as the coverage goes, its amazing..medium buildable coverage..and I need only a pea sized amount ! Its my go to everyday !
Here is an FOTD with only this CC cream and some kohl and lip balm.
Pros:
1. Amazing coverage.
2. Skin is moisturized and hydrated, you do not even need a separate moisturiser.
3. Gives a dewy, plumped up, healthy looking skin.
4. Stays for 6-7 hours.
5. Does not transfer much.
6. SPF29 UVA+UVB
7. Good for daily use..feels light like second skin.
8. Shades adapt to skin tone and look completely natural.
9. Travel friendly packaging with a perfect small nozzle which prevents wastage.
10. Also has Vitamin C which helps protect skin against skin damage.
Cons:
1. Availability is an issue.
I don’t think I can think of any other cons..I am so in love with it, right from the first use. Its my current staple. I hit ‘tube-end’ on my favorite L’Oreal Paris BB Cream and was planning to repurchase when this arrived ! And I sooo love this..in my Holy Grail now. Though there are only 4 shades, the Color Adaptive technology helps it match your skin tone. I highly recommend this ! Though oily skin and people who love matte skin, do need to powder. For normal to dry skin, this is a must have.
