The lovely lady from Bourjois very kindly sent me some products from the Parisian Summer Solar range. As I was looking more greyish than sun-kissed I promptly applied the BB Bronzing cream and was pretty pleased with the result. My first impression was a light transparent cream with a fairly sweet coconut scent which reminded me of holidays. Bourjois BB bronzing cream is very easy to apply and gave an even wash of colour. The shade I tested is the lightest shade 01 – Fair. I think it would work on even the palest of complexion as the cream texture is very light and blends well. There are 2 shades which work for all skin tones. Benefit wise, this 8 in 1 cream, offers SPF15 protection, 24 H hydration, is smudge proof, evens the skin tone, creates radiance, tan enhancement, and a golden glow effect. It is also non-comedogenic and tested under dermatological supervision. I think it does what it says ‘on the tin’, my only reservation is the scent, it is not overpowering but personally I like barely or none scented creams as I have had a few allergic reactions in the past… So if you have had to work hard all summer, with no holidays on sunny shores, this product can help you achieve a lovely : ‘I just got back from’…choose a glamorous Mediterranean location, sun-kissed ‘bonne mine’. In short a really good addition to your make-up bag. AM x
