It has been SO LONG since I have posted! I'm so sorry! I had bronchitis and then I got a new job, so things have been pretty crazy! But I am back and I should be posting regularly (fingers crossed)! So, getting down to business... Today I am going to talk to you about ANOTHER bb cream! After my maybelline dream fresh bb cream horror story I was kind of afraid to try another bb cream! But I did need a new make-up product to even out my skin tone and being a teen, I feel that foundation is much to heavy for my face. So back to Walmart I went. This time I picked up L'orèal Magic Skin Beautifier BB cream. It is 1 fl. ounce and it cost about $7 at my walmart.This BB cream is MUCH different than the Maybelline BB cream. For starters the product comes out white with little black beads in it. The beads are where the color comes from and as you rub it in the color begins to appear! 
(Ignore my awkwardly hairy hands. Kids actually use to call me monkey arms or man arms because I have so much hair! Haha)
I I originally bought this color in light. This bb cream comes in 4 shades: fair, light, medium and deep. I tested the color on my hand in my car before leaving and was SHOCKED. Light is not light AT ALL! It was dark and orange! 
I immediately went back in the store and asked to exchange it for a lighter shade. They took it back, no problem and the fair shade looked MUCH better! 
(NOTE: I don't have fair skin- it might look like I do in the pictures but if you ask anyone that knows me they would definitely not describe me as fair.) To me the shades of this product are misleading. Be careful when choosing a shade! I recommend testing the colors on your hand if possible. Other than the problems I had choosing the right shade, I really loved this product.
L'orèal claims
"4 beautifying actions in 1:
primes, corrects, hydrates and perfects."
This product smoothed my face and blurred my blemishes. It gave me an even skin tone and hid any redness on my face. I thought it was easy to apply evenly and you don't have to use a lot to get a nice looking face. I have heard many complaints that the beautifying beads in this product irritate many people's faces. I did not have this problem whatsoever, maybe because my skin is not sensitive? I loved the packaging SO much better than the maybelline product! It was not messy AT ALL.
Overall I would buy this product again but ONLY IN THE FAIR SHADE. What did you think about this BB cream? Do you love it or hate it? Let me know!
