Simple BB Cream| Review

Simple BB Cream// 

Why on earth has it taken me so long to write this review? I have been using this BB cream from Simple for a long time and not once have I done a proper review on it! Well, that it changing right this minute. Me and this BB Cream have a love hate relationship which I will explain more about later!

Universal shade with a unique blend of multi-vitamins and skin loving ingredients to give you a flawless, instant natural looking coverage with UVA/ UVB SPF15 protection . Perfect even for sensitive skin

Why I love it?

This BB Cream is great if you are in rush because it warms up in your hands and applies and sets really quickly, for me there is no need for powder or concealer as I get enough coverage. It claims that it is a universal shade so it adjusts to your skin tone, for me it is a little lighter than I would like but I have fairly medium toned skin and have no idea what it would look like on paler or darker skin. You can see in the picture below just how light it is on my skin, but once blended in properly its fine and wearable. This is also the first BB Cream that is great for sensitive skin and it hasn't broken me out. 

Why I kind of hate it? 

Well because, on days that I have dry skin all over my face I find it really hard to blend this in and wear the BB Cream because it clings on and that the most annoying thing. It also doesn't stay on for very long, I know I said that you don't need powder but even with powder and a primer it just comes straight off after a few hours.

Would I repurchase it? 

Yes I would because on no dry skin days I find amazing on my skin to use, and its so quick and easy. But for £8.99 I don't really know whether or  not I would actually buy it again, unless its on offer. 

My Basic Travel Essentials ♥

Summer. It is officially here. And this is the time of year when everyone is getting ready to go on holiday, whether it means around the country you live in for weekend a ways or going abroad for some sun! Whatever it is you will be travelling! This is a another one of my series' where I will be showing you and sharing with you tips, tricks and ways to make your travelling times easier!

And one thing you always have to look after is your skin and body, especially if you are travelling by plane - as the humidity can affect your skin. Here are my travel sized essentials that I purchase every year as it makes it easier for me to carry everything! The beauty of these two packs that I am going to share with you, is that they are 'Hand Luggage Friendly' meaning that you can take them on the plane with you and feed your body and skin with goodness.

This is the Nivea kit that you can purchase.. it comes with;

* Pearl Deodorant - hands down, this is my favourite summer time deodorant. It feels very light on you and lasts all day!

* Pocket Size SPF30 Sunscreen - You have to protect your skin at all times from the sun, this small sized bottle makes it easier and more handbag friendly to carry around.

* Lip Balm with SPF30 - We all never realise that our lips can also get harmed from the sun, and this lip balm is the best to help any sun damage from happening on your lips.

* Facial Cleansing Wipes - These wipes are great to remove make up and if you want to just freshen up, not only do they smell amazing but they do amazing things to your face.

* Shower Cream - When you are by the pool at the seaside or even at the hotel/ any accommodation it is always best to carry around and bring your own soap as it is then something you are used to, you don't have to worry about allergies ect.

* Hand Cream - I do love my soap and glory, however it is expensive. This Nivea hand cream is the next best thing! It smells good enough to eat and nourishes your hands so much they are left feeling super soft and silky.

This Simple kit is more for your face, it includes products that can be used day and night and are great for those like me; who have sensitive skin.

*Cleansing Wipes- Just like the Nivea ones, these are superb at removing any trace of make up and aren't harsh to your skin in any way.

* Facial Wash Gel - This gel is great for first thing in the morning, it helps your skin get ready for the day and helps your skin to recover from the night before.

* Moisturiser - Whether you are having a sunny holiday abroad or a holiday in another city in your country, you should ALWAYS moisturise you face and body. It is so important and I can't stress to you enough how important it is - like seriously.

*Facial Toner - A toner is great to use every morning and night as part of your skin care routine, it helps get rid of dirt and feeds your skin.
