What is a BB Cream |  Beauty Balm
Where Can I get it? | Sephora & Smashbox retailers
How Much is it? | $39
What Color do I use: Dark

My initial Thoughts: I really like it so far. It has a light finish and spf which I LOVE... It also has like read about a nice not too oily or too matte finish! It gives coverage and keeps your skin looking touchable and REAL! I have yet to see any of the anti-aging benefits but it's only been a few times that I've worn it. I also know that for times when you want or need MORE coverage you can use concealer and wear it UNDER foundation which is awesome! 

It has a nice size and you don't need a lot so that  helps with the *somewhat steep price tag! I really like this BB which kinda reminds me of a tinted moisturizer... so far so good!! Stay tuned to my YOUTUBE channel and THIS BLOG for another in depth review and application! 

What is does (from sephora.com) 

This multitasking tinted cream formula with SPF 35 hydrates, primes, perfects, controls oil, and protects for flawless skin on set and beyond. Formulated with emollients and optical pearl pigments, this BB Cream gives skin a glowing, ethereal look and provides a hydrating veil for the complexion to maintain moisture on the surface of the skin. With its ultra-smoothing finish, it instantly re-texturizes to create a smooth canvas. Especially when worn under foundation, it enhances the wear of makeup for up to eight hours. Ideal even for oily complexions, this expert formula with UVA/UVB protection helps inhibit oil to prevent the complexion from getting shiny throughout the day without the typical chalky matte finish

Grammy Fashion | Who wore what?

I live practically 5 minuets from where the 2012 Grammys were held!

I probably heard the applaus for Adele from my kitchen Table. With the awards

the makeup and the sexy LBD Adele certainly stole the show! 

WIth that being said... let's see who else wore what?

Katy Perry, Kelly Osborne and Paris Hilton have all had memorable hits and misses... though I dont't LOVE any of these looks as much as I have in the past I really Like Kelly in this Golden Grecian gown from Tony Ward. It's a great Figure huggin gown and it looks great on here. Paris Looks stodgy and typical and I'm over Katy and the Hair Dye.  

I understand a PUBLICITY STUNT as much as the next person.. However Nicki is on the verge of a backlash Fergie did it best of the bunch I, however, whould have KILLED in that Orange Jean Paul Gautier gown... UGH agains my skin with some nude adornments under it! GAH! IDK why she decide on black under orange against her skin but got TENACITY GO!!

Taylor as usual looks stale and matronly on the other hand Rihanna is looking revived.. it was at the Grammys where she and ex Chris Brown has a very memorable falling out. However the blonde hair and Knee cut LBD is doing the golden girl JUSTICE ! She's glowing and youthful. Ms.Swift's stylist TAKE NOTE! 

Needless to say both these women are beautiful and talented but ADELE... *sigh ADELE just radiates! She looks sleek and slender in this LBD with her signature Cat eyes and red lips she is a stunner! I would also love to see her looking a little more youthful from time to time..  but she does look amazing here.

Great MOISTURIZERS for ALL AGES

Here is a List of some of the best moisturizer for VARIOUS skin types. They are ALL available in DRUGSTORES and are ALL relatively inexpensive

#1 Cetaphil

Thais is one of the 1st facial Cleansers I EVER used. It a REALLY Moisturizing and GENTLE> The have formulations for ALL skin types and It's EASY on the pockets

#2 Neutrogena Healthy Defense is a GREAT moisturizer that MANY swear by. It has a light easily absorbed texture great for Oily to combination skin. 

#3 Aveeno Ultra Calming is a GREAT moisturizer for sensitive skin that reacts to over stimulation or too many scents or dyes. I like this for younger people who are not too experienced in skin care. 

#4 Is the SIMPLE line.. I like this again for sensitive skin. They have a few variations and this is available in the uk! 

You should also make sure to get a cleanse and a toner to go with your daily Moiturizer. Make sure it goes with your skin type! 

Skin Types are 

• Type 1: Oily Oily skin tends to shiny with enlarged pores, and is prone to blackheads and blemishes. You might experience some tightness.
  
• Type 2: Combination/normal This skin type has medium pores, a smooth and even texture, good circulation, healthy color, may tend toward dryness on the cheeks while being oily in the t-zone

• Type 3: Dry Dry skin feels tight, especially after cleansing. You have a tendency towards fine wrinkles, flaking and red patches. In women of color, skin may appear ashy or dull from dead skin buildup.

SUB Categories:

Sensitive Sensitive skin tends to be thin, delicate with fine pores. It flushes easily, is prone to broken capillaries, is frequently allergic and can be rashy.

ging or sun-damaged This skin also feels tight with visible wrinkles, slack skin tone -- especially around the cheeks and jawline -- with leathery texture and broken capillaries
