BB Creams are essentially an all-in-one cream which primes, moisturisers, acts as a lightweight concealer, has SPF and yes there is more. So essentially a fantastic product when you are too lazy to do all of the above – which is pretty much all the time for me!
I have never actually used BB Cream before – and to be honest I wish I discovered it sooner. I usually stick to one or two skincare products at a time simply because I try to avoid slapping as much product on my face at the one time. I like to let my skin breathe. So the beauty of the BB Cream is that I only need one product with the multitude of benefits.
The features that appeal to me from Palmer’s Eventone BB Cream is:
- SPF 15+: as I usually don’t bother with sunscreen unless it is really hot (not good I know!).
- Primer – Even though apparently it is a crime not to prime… I usually forget or cannot be bothered.
- Reduced redness
- Moisturiser – To be honest it did not moisturise as much as I had hoped, however my skin does get notoriously dry, so sometimes I will need to use an additional moisturiser.
- Tinted – fantastic as it is great to use everyday and even possibly as a foundation/concealer substitute for days when you do not really need to use them.
- Oil-free – no one likes clogged pores or breakouts!
- Not tested on animals – Palmer’s proudly claims on its products that it does not test on animals. The fact that really affordable beauty products that work can do this - is absolutely fantastic.
Palmer’s Eventone BB Cream comes in 2 shades:
Fair/Light

Medium/Dark

Even though there are 2 shades available, I actually found that I was too dark for Fair/Light and too fair for Medium/Dark. The products individually were both still perfectly usable on my skin, however I would have preferred if there was a product for those of us who are in-between. Fortunately I was sent both shades so of course I could get artistic and blend to suit my skin, however not every “inbetweener” would want to purchase 2 products. If I could only pick one shade, it would be Fair/Light simply because it was the closest to my skin tone and easier to blend.

The Palmer’s Eventone BB Cream is a really affordable product with my personal favourite benefits of SPF, concealer, reduced redness and a massive timesaver.
