Review: L'Oreal BB Cream

I first found out about this product while in Walgreens testing their L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base(review coming soon). The retail price ranges from $6.99-8.99, depending on where you buy it. I got it half priced because Walgreens had a sale going on. The usual 'buy 1 get 1 half price'. I personally don't like paying more than $5 for anything, lol. You get a lot for your' money with this product. I think this product could easily last 2-3 months with regular use.
It's a 4 in 1 cream: perfect, prime, hydrate, correct.                                                            

In my personal opinion, this product is not tailored for dark skin tones. There are 4 shades: fair, light, medium, deep. The color I have is deep; which still gives a pale look to my face. It makes blemishes and skin discolorations moderately less noticeable. If you have major skins issues do not expect this to work a miracle.
The product has a weird gritty feeling to it that I was not expecting. It feels like an exfoliater. After doing some research I found an answer for this. The feel is actually the pigments beads. As you rub the pressure busts the pigment beads and that's how you get the color.
This brings me to my next subject: the color. The color starts off as a silver grey. This was alarming to me because I have brown skin. After applying I still wasn't too fond of the color. In addition, the cream has a glittery look to it that shows on the skin. I used this for a week and after that week of usage I noticed a slight improvement of my skin that I was not expecting. L'Oreal's bb cram works great as a primer and oil reduction.                                                                                                                                                     Pros: good primer, moderate oil reduction, improvement of skin                                             
Cons: glitter, pale shade on darker skin tones
