In 2010 and 2012, we were trending primers and just about every cosmetic line came out with one (Smashbox and Laura Mercier are still the best). For 2013, the latest beauty trend is beauty balms, or BBs for short. Research and technology in the millennium are creating multi-purpose products to reduce prep time and improve skin without several different products. Vichy ProEven Mineral BB Cream ($32.50, 1.35 oz) is the latest to join the hit parade. Plain and simple, this product is fabulous! Vichy BB cream is a moisturizer, primer, light concealer, and sunscreen with SPF 20. The mineral based cream is light in texture, which can be used alone for decent coverage evening out skin tone, or as a primer to makeup application. It leaves your skin as smooth and dewy as the product itself. For $32, I was able to replace my moisturizer, primer, and foundation saving me not only tons of money but time as well!
