Nip + Fab BB Cream Review: Sheer Make-Up Fix

News related:

BB creams have been this summer's watchwords, as they've finally arrived on UK shores. A big hit in the East, BB stands for 'Blemish Balm', which have all sorts of properties from brightening, lightening and priming to skin protecting. Nip+ Fab is the latest brand to create their own version, and I've been testing their Sheer Make-Up Fix.

It has a light gel consistency, almost clear to apply and instantly absorbs into the skin, giving you an invisible silky barrier to the world. It's nice to apply, and leaves the face feeling soft, whilst skin looks brighter and healthier immediately.

It contains Osilift, a wrinkle reducer which helps smooth the skin and hyaluronic acid to hydrate. You're advised to wear this under makeup, though I have tried this on its own as a foundation replacement, and though the coverage was too light for me, I did get compliments on how young and fresh I looked.

It's a really nice product to use as a primer and you do feel it's helping your other products last longer and look better. The ingredients used are intended to help look after the skin and the fact that you're double teaming your moisturiser with this BB cream is a great feeling.

It seems Nip + Fab have done it again- another must have product to add to my growing collection of their range.

Â£14.95 from Nip and Fab
