Review:Yardley's 12 in 1 CC cream

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)

*Instead of using a moisturiser, colour corrector, primer, sun protection and foundation, just use Yardley’s 12 n 1 CC cream.

[It is] –Multifunctional

        -Time saving

        -Travel friendly

It comes in shades for light, medium and dark complexions.

It is suitable for normal, oily and combination skin.

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!
