Confession time: I have been a fervent BB cream user for
a while now and I was slightly sceptical about using this CC cream. However, I
had recently won this in a Glamour magazine competition and, not only was I
extremely excited to use this, I was also determined to give it a fair assessment.
Why
this product is right for you/me (according to the box)

primer, sun protection and foundation, just use Yardley’s 12 n 1 CC cream.

After
two weeks of using the product, these are my thoughts:
There is definitely something special about Yardley CC
cream. I have to admit that upon the first application I used a little too
much and ended up looking rather washed-out. Also, I didn’t blend it very well
and that didn't help either. On the plus side, you don’t need too much product to get great coverage. Once I
eventually got the application right, I loved what I saw. I was battling flu at
the time I started using the CC cream, but you really couldn’t tell by looking at
my skin. I looked happy and healthy, so Yardley, my dark circles and I thank
you. This is the ideal product if you have limited time in the morning and also
if you want coverage without the heaviness .With a sturdy cap and a bottle I
can only describe as slim and sexy (yes I said sexy) you can easily carry it
around in your handbag or make up bag. It glides on smoothly and blends in effortlessly
to match your skin tone in a matter of seconds. Only thing that I would change
about this product is that it really doesn’t smell like anything. Perhaps it is
just me, but I like the products I put on my face to smell like something.
My shade is Medium 02 and use my fingers to blend. I also put
on a little bronzer on after the CC cream. Overall, I would give this product 8
out of 10. Great, now I’m in a love triangle with BB and CC cream!
