Hey Loves,
Don’t we just love those days when we don’t have to put a layer of foundation on our face. But life is not so easy girls 🙁 . Well, actually it is quiet easy now as there are so many skin products available in the market. For people like you and me who do not like to eat so much Foundation, the new generation BB, CC and DD creams are nothing less than a blessing. These crèmes have definitely made our life easier since they are really light weight as compared to a regular foundation. Though choosing the one that suits your skin can be a tough task as the markets are flooded with different brands. However, last week I got introduced to this new product by Lotus herbals called Xpress Glow 10-in- 1 daily beauty crème. Lotus Xpress Glow BB Cream is the latest addition to the family of BB crème and Yes, It definitely calls for a review .
What it claims :
As the name suggests Xpress Glow 10-in- 1 daily beauty crème, it is primarily made for daily use and comes with slight creamy texture to make sure that the skin is not dry and cakey. Lotus Xpress Glow BB Cream comes in two shades – royal pearl (for fair skin tone), bright angel (medium skin tone). It is an all skin type product so saves one from the confusion. It also has a sunscreen for SPF 25 which is so so so important for skin protection.
Packaging :
Lotus Xpress Glow BB Cream comes in tube shaped plastic bottle and is pretty small and light weight. It is handy so you can definitely fit it in your smallest of clutch.
Price:
Rs 299 for 30 grams which is actually not very expensive provided it is worth it.
How to use it :
Cleanse your face and then take a tiny amount of Lotus Xpress Glow BB Cream on the back of your hand. Put several dots around your face and neck and spread it evenly.
The First Application:
I have been trying and testing bb crèmes ever since it came to Indian market but finding the one that suits my skin type and complexion is a challenge!!! The first experience of Lotus Xpress Glow BB Cream has been:
- For my skin tone which is wheatish, the crème just blended-in really well and the skin didn’t look patchy at all.
- It gave a semi matte flawless finish and my skin looked really hydrated after the application.
- It can be used as Primer too for the nights when you want to doll up a little.
Drawbacks :
Well , there is nothing which is perfect and so is the case with this product too. The effect of the product doesn’t last too long. In my case, it only lasted for 2-3 hours. Secondly, It not sweat proof so forget using it, if you are preparing yourself for a sunny day.
Rating:
4 out 5.
TalkSassy recommends it ?
I would say, Yes!!! This product by Lotus herbals definitely deserves little space in your vanity bag. Esp for girlies, looking for not so expensive but a decent bb cream with good coverage and sunscreen.Go ahead and buy it !
Common’Sass ki baat: Always use a moisturizer under your foundation. It not only makes sure that your face doesn’t look patchy and cakey after an hour of makeup, but also protects your skin from the harsh chemicals of foundation.
Let me know how was your experience with Xpress Glow 10-in- 1 daily beauty crème. Do tag me whenever you use this Product .
Lots of hugs and kisses to all the Sass queens 🙂
Is this paraben free?
Hey Meghana, It is not animal tested but no mention of being paraben free ! Apologies for the late response.
