Does it do it?
-
For the price, there really isn't a BB Cream that can compete with L.A Girl's. The formula is like a super lightweight foundation. It is extremely pigmented so when you squeeze it out it may seem like it's quite thick, but it's actually an optical illusion.
-
It's buildable in the sense that you can layer up without any cakiness, but it doesn't necessarily make coverage any fuller, which is probably our only beef with it. However it is a BB cream, so if you want something full coverage, then you're better off with a foundation.

What we absolutely love about this BB cream is how little makeup it makes us look like we're wearing; whilst still making our skin look good.
In terms of doing what it says? It's definite moisturising, good for sensitive skin and definitely enhances the skin's natural tone. Long lasting? We're not quite convinced, but for £5, we suppose this is to be expected.
-
If you want to fool the masses in making it look like you're not wearing a drop of makeup then this is for you.
