Skin 79 BB cream - a (badly written) review

I have 'decent' skin. I get pimples if I don't wash it. I have to do a detoxifying mask at least once a week, and a hydrating mask once a week, or I get at least one cystic pimple. I have a cystic pimple now because (spoiler alert!) I didn't do my masks as I'm kind of a lazy fuck. 

So of course I'm always on the look out for things that say they'll clear up your skin, contain sunscreen, improve your non-existent wrinkles, and will bring you breakfast in bed. I've seen around the internet that Skin79's BB cream, specifically the pink one (I dunno the specific name?) does almost all of these. It did not bring me breakfast in bed though. :(

So today I am trying it out. I obviously won't be able to tell if it clears up any acne I have, as I'm only using it for a day. But I can tell you how it applies, whether it sinks into my pores, whether it oxidizes (hint: It does), etc. 

I bought the sampler pack of their 4 most popular products. It looks like this: 

If you decided to skip my insane ramblings, I'm going to talk about the hot pink one 2nd from the left.

FOTD

So I'm going to Sephora today despite the Snowpocalypse (yeah, we actually had like 1/8th an inch of snow!) so I decided to put on some makeup. 

Here's a before and after:


I'm gonna sort of show you how I did it, or at least explain wtf I did in case you really want to look like a clown slapped you upside the face and/or you love pinkish red lips. Though my brows look fab, thank you Benefit Brow Bar!

PS: Yes my nose is crooked, I dunno why, but it's my nose and I love it.
