Beauty UK's CC Cream

Here at The Amazing Blog, the girls in the office have tried and tested more makeup products that we could count. So naturally over the years we have all perfected our makeup routine. However this was all disrupted with the latest trends in the make up industry, most recently with CC or Colour Correction Creams. So needless to say we were all excited to try out Beauty UK’s new CC Cream and see how we could fit it into our makeup regime.

The Beauty UK CC Cream is designed to give colour correction by evening out the skin tone, as well as keeping the skin hydrated and safe from the sun. It has SPF 30, which makes it a wonderful choice for girls who don’t normally use foundation that contains SPF. It also boasts light reflecting pigments to help keep the skin looking radiant and flawless. This CC Cream comes in three different shades: Natural is the lightest, and for those of us that are pale, be wary because the undertone is slightly pink. Fawn is the medium shade, and I think this colour has a great natural looking undertone. Biscuit is the darkest shade available, and is a very tanned colour. Upon applying, it feels very good on the skin, and it feels very light and not cakey. A CC Cream is obviously not going to be as longwearing as a foundation would be, but it is great for light coverage. The best part is, this CC Cream is only £4.99! It costs a fraction of what many other CC creams cost, and you can still get great results from it.

If you want to get your hands on some of Beauty UK’s new CC Cream, visit their website or head over to your local Superdrug. Beyond the CC Cream, they have a large range of different face and eye cosmetics that can work very well with your new favourite base product!

Get Beautiful Skin with Dr. Brandt's CC Mat Cream

The double lettered phenomenon. BB, CC, DD… I promise we’re not talking bra sizes! When we, at The Amazing Blog, were sent the Dr. Brandt CC Mat, we were really excited to try it out after hearing so much about this type of cream, and it did not disappoint.

CC Mat is a new addition to Dr. Brandt’s Pores No More collection and is developed to treat, protect and mattify the skin, while leaving it feeling fresh throughout the day. The CC stands for Colour Correcting, meaning it covers skin imperfections and evens out the skin tone. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E and C, it will moisture and brighten the skin, decrease pigmentation and decrease photo ageing on the long run.

It is an oil-free cream, specially targeted to oily/combination skins. It does a good job leaving the skin shine free throughout the day, even during these very humid days in London. The cream has a matte finish which is great for preventing that mid-afternoon oily shine on the t-zone. The coverage of the CC cream is light, so it does not feel heavy or cakey on the skin, making it perfect for that summer ‘no-make up look’.

As it contains SPF 30 PA +++, this is perfect for days at the beach, when you need protection from the sun, but want to enhance your skin while still looking natural. Whilst this cream is not the cheapest on the market, retailing at £34 from the Feel Unique website, it is really effective with an amazing finish leaving my skin looking beautiful. That, in my opinion, is well worth every penny.
