This is the best time of the year to try BB and CC creams in my opinion, as foundations usually feel a bit too heavy in hot, sweaty weather. To be honest, I really enjoy a light coverage base anytime of the year so Vichy Capital Soleil BB Cream with SPF50 naturally appealed to me, especially because of the high sun protection it gives.This is a really nice product and one of the very few BB creams in the market to offer such high SPF, which is amazing for the summer months. It smells lovely and is more on the dewy side, without looking greasy at the end of the day. Another great thing about this BB cream is it's filled with hyaluronic acid to instantly plump the skin. In addition to that, it's water resistant, paraben free, hypoallergenic and enriched with Vichy Thermal Spa Water.
Perfection? Well, there's one downside. It's only available in one shade, that I'd describe as a natural tan colour. So unfortunately it won't suit everybody, being limited only to light/medium complexions. As a reference, I'm NW20 in Mac and the colour is pretty spot on.
Another thing I thought I should mention is this product is quite sheer, so if you prefer heavy coverage, this may not be for you.
Overall, I'm impressed and will definitely purchase the full size, which cost only £15.50 on feelunique.com.
Have you tried it? What do you think of BB creams in general?
