With CC just catching on, I'm wondering if the companies should devise product names that target the audience for which they are made. Even my beloved Guerlain.

Many of the more cosmetically elegant sunscreens designed for the face can actually replace a primer. Chanel, Clarins, Shiseido, SkinCeuticles, and Lancôme come quickly to mind. They make sunscreens that provide a hefty SPF and act as a primer. <br /><br />For touch ups throughout the Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-29085987860827904862013-05-01T11:28:00.327-04:002013-05-01T11:28:00.327-04:00Thank you for posting!

I just want to clarify something you said about BB creams, CG. The term "blemish balm/base" as it is used in Asian countries, where the products became popular (the first one was actual a German formulation I believe) does not refer to acne blemishes but the discolorations that Asian skin is prone to.

That's why it doesn't make any sense at all to rely on your foundation or BB cream for SPF protection. No woman in her right mind is going to use that much foundation, BB cream, tinted moisturizer, etc. It's also why I think products like Peau Vierge should never be considered as Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-5960865061780819462013-04-30T20:25:28.686-04:002013-04-30T20:25:28.686-04:00ooooh, I've been waiting for you to review thi...ooooh, I've been waiting for you to review this, CG.
