It may sound stupid that I have never known about BB creams for so long and never bothered to find out about it, but I admit that there has been a huge rave about BB creams across the beauty world and almost every single beauty blogger has already tried out BB cream and shared their own experience with their fans, but I had not tired any BB cream until now, The continuously rave about BB creams tempted me to find more about this product and after some research I got to know that BB stand for blemish balm. It's a new sort of foundation and can be replaced your serum, moisturiser, primer, foundation and sunblock. It's ideal and best for a lighter coverage and cover all blemish and redness on your skin.
Recently Essence launched its PureSkin range which comes with several skincare products including Essence PureSkin all in one BB cream specially formulated for Asian skin. It's dermatologist tested, oil free, fragrance free and claim to not clog pores. Essence Pure Skin BB Cream comes in a 30ml squeeze tube, a very handy tube while travelling. These creams are available in three shades light medium and natural. Though I have fair skin tone, but I always choose medium subtle shade whenever I pick concealers. Does it exactly work what it claims? Read more to find out!

SadeeStyle Review
I own a medium 20 shade which is a bit dark for my skin tone. The consistency is quite sheer and thin which I love the most because it feels so light and refreshing on skin. Though its sheer and consistency is too watery, but absorb quickly into the skin with leaving dewy and glowing finish behind. I have been using kryolan Tv paint stick from the beginning and have been quite satisfied with the results and coverage, but since winter has been started I'm noticing my skin getting more drier and fading its summer glow so now I was needed to replace my thick concealer with something which moisturise my skin. I have used this BB cream for couple of times and impressed with the dewy coverage. The downside is a bad annoying smell which I can stand, but it flews away right after five minutes of applying it on.
Overall I'm impressed and really liked it. This one probably my first experience with any BB cream and it turned out great on me. It's great for lighter coverage and quite successful to cover flaws and fix blemishes. It also comes with UVB protection and available at all leading outlets at nationwide Essence Pakistan
