BB Cream?????

By Bridget Hudzik, Beauty Guru

What in the heck is BB CREAM?

The "BB" Stands for Blemish Balm, or Blemish Base.

(The Blemish being anything imperfect, not acne as you would think)

 

They seem to be popping up everywhere!
 

Even MAC makes a BB Cream! 
MAC re-named the first "B" for the US market, its been titled "Beauty Balm". 
Focus on the positive, not the negative!

 

This sector of the beauty world however has a tendency to offer 3 shades, this has been our contention with them... 

because one size does not fit all!
Our client base is too diverse to recommend products with limited color selection.

 

We are loving this new one!!!!!!!!!!

Grace Choi realized the shade issue and created a line offering 10 shades and even two finishes, matte and dewy.

 

This is the ultimate mineral based hybrid that incorporates a primer, tinted moisturizer, foundation, an oil-free formula, and is anti-aging.

It covers like a foundation, but is as light as air to smoothly apply with just a little dab.

Bonus that she'll send you a sample set you can pick your shade before you commit.

And no worries, the sample set price is deducted from your purchase.

 

BB creams were originally formulated first in Germany by dermatologists for the scars related to laser skin surgery, and popularized in South Korea.

 

These are great if you are not a huge fan of the feel of foundation or if you have Hypopigmentation...

The areas of your skin that are lighter then the rest will look natural and blended with BB cream.

 

With love and Glamour

Bleeding Heart Cosmetics

Gluten Free - Paraben Free - Fragrance Free - Animal Cruelty Free
Love reading that about a beauty brand. Bleeding Heart Cosmetics prides themselves on those 4 simple statements. And they have all of the major categories covered with their all-natural products:

Baked by Italian artisans with natural sunlight in Terra Cotta pots, their long-lasting Baked Mineral Eyeshadow provides the perfect color trio. Formulated with natural minerals and ingredients such as Lavender Flower Extract, Safflower Seed Oil, Thyme Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, and Magnolia Bark Extract to create the smoothest, gentle combination. Anti-Oxidants Jojoba Seed Oil and Green Tea Extract, pampers the tender skin around the eyes. Can be used wet or dry for different affects.

Their "Fairy Dust" Loose Mineral Wet/Dry Shimmer work as a quadruple action Shimmer Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, Nail Polish, and Lip Color!  Mix over any with some “Fairy Dust” and, along with an all over shadow, you have a matching ensemble.

Panthenol in their "The Magic Wand" Mineral Mascara will condition and lengthen lashes without clumping, breakage, or dry-out. Made especially for sensitive eyes, without harmful chemicals or toxins.

Create voluptuous, kissable lips with their "Fat Lip" Volume Lipstick. This mineral lipstick moisturizes and conditions while adding color and enhancing volume. Rich color offers the purest mineral ingredients and the healing benefits of Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil.

The sheer, multi-tasking Organic cream-to-powder "La Vie En Rose" Organic Lip & Cheek Veil blends onto cheeks and lips for a natural glowing complexion and berry stained pout. It provides the softness of a powder with the smoothness of a cream formulated with Shea Butter, Jojoba Seed Oil, Olive Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, and Magnolia Bark.

Another product baked by Italian artisans with natural sunlight in Terra Cotta pots, "After Glow" Sheer Swirl Blush combination provides a highlight to cheeks formulated with pure minerals and nourishing oils which will not dry out or irritate your skin.

"One Love" Baked Mineral Mosaic Blush gives the perfect hints of color exuding sheer beautiful highlights.

Unlike other color correctors that use a single color focusing on one problem area, "Totally Baked" Mineral Correcting Powder has the perfect blend of green, lavender, beige, yellow, and pink to hide a multitude of imperfections. Formulated with pure minerals and nourishing oils which will not dry out or irritate your skin. It is also baked by Italian artisans with natural sunlight in Terra Cotta pots. Bleeding Heart calls this "a melodic mélange of colors" that hopes to rid complexions of redness, dark circles, and blotchiness resulting in a flawless finish.

"Totally Baked" Mineral Foundation can be used either by itself as a full coverage foundation, or to set and smooth after applying liquid foundation. It is marbleized light and dark shades which automatically detect what needs to go where. Baked by Italian artisans with natural sunlight in Terra Cotta pots, and formulated with pure minerals and nourishing oils which will nurture, not dry out or irritate your skin.

"Foreplay" Tinted Primer should be applied before foundation for a silky smooth sheer color base. It aims to minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, all while helping to avoid blotching and buildup for flawless results. It makes foundation lasting longer, and reduces fading to stay fresh throughout the day. It also contains healing and anti-aging properties.

Get sheer moisturizing coverage with "In the Buff" Tinted Moisturizer and SPF 15. Wear it alone or as a base for under foundation. It's perfect for everyday makeup when full coverage isn’t what you're looking for. You can also apply it on your legs for a smoother even tone.

Their all over "The Glow Job" Mini Face & Body Glow provides sun kissed warmth and a moon-kissed highlight. With a subtle shimmer, this powder draws light to beautify the décolleté, cheek bones, shoulders, and legs. Made of pure mineral ingredients, and milled extra fine for maximum softness and a smooth application.

Great products, right? Their mission is to raise awareness of gluten allergies and the effect it can have on health, and to rid the products applied to our skin from harmful toxins. A big thanks to Bleeding Heart for recognizing these important factors and doing something about it.
