Ponds Flawless Radiance BB Cream High Tea Launch

Good Beauty Diaries had the privilege to attend the launch of Ponds Flawless Radiance BB Cream last week in Cape Town, and I must say that it was a wonderful and very girly experience. I entered into a room that was flooded with different shades of pink and tons of goodies to indulge in. Needless to say, my diet went right out the window for the day. It was totally worth it! Now if your not sure what a BB Cream is, go ahead and click here to quickly educate yourself.

The April issue of True Love Magazine was on our chair waiting for us :)

Macaroons, Scones and Chocolate Truffle oh my!

There was also a bottle of the new unreleased bottle of Ponds Flawless Radiance BB Cream at my place setting. This is what I was waiting for. Who doesn't love exclusive goodies?! You know I opened the bottle and tested it on my hand immediately. I don't play that coy "I don't like things" mess.

Final product with a little blush and eyeliner was flawless!

The NEW POND’S BB Cream, for example, will provide you with instant colour coverage for a flawless finish and works day after to day to even your skin tone. It contains the same trusted GenActivTM formula found in the flawless radiance range, which is enriched with a powerful blend of Vitamin B3, Vitamin E, Allantoin and Super Optics. The antioxidant Vitamin E and skin soothing Allantoin plays a role in reducing the processes that can lead to pigmentation. It also protects your skin from damaging UV rays with an SPF of 30++, removing the need to apply addition sunblock.

The exact shade of the Chocolate BB Cream was developed on the basis of numerous studies carried out in South Africa. Following extensive testing, it was selected from a number of prototypes developed specifically for South Africa as the shade that was most suitable to the majority of darker skin tones.

It's proudly South African and available in May at selected stores in Chocolate and Beige.

What's BB Cream All About?

BB Creams pictured here may not be available in South Africa

What does "BB" stand for?

The "BB" in BB Cream can stand for Blemish Balm or Beauty Balm

How did BB Creams begin?

It was created back in the 1950’s by a German dermatologist, Dr. Christine Schrammek. 

What was the original purpose?

Its purpose was to provide a little coverage to patients with sensitive skin who had just undergone a cosmetic procedure.

When did BB Creams become popular?

Later, in the 80’s, the BB Cream was introduced to the East and was heavily endorsed by glamorous Korean celebrities as their big beauty secret. Today, however, BB Cream is popular throughout the world and can be found in most pharmacies and beauty counters.

Why are BB Creams so loved?

BB Creams combine skin care and cosmetics, making it the first beauty product to actually treat the skin.They are unique! They are also very convenient, as BB Creams can reduce the number of skin care products required in your daily beauty regime. Plus, there are BB Creams available that are very affordable!

So, what does BB Cream do?

Most BB Creams are great multi-taskers. For one, many of them are able to offer cosmetic benefits by evening out your complexion like a lightweight foundation and brightening your skin like a primer. On top of this, a good BB will also offer various skincare benefits, such as soothing your skin like an anti-inflammatory and providing sun protection.
