Do I see the oil droplets trickling down your faces already. Hohoho summer is here..oh lol no that was actually a mirror I was peeking into. Yesss its hot and humid already and my skin is just starting to get disobedient. My MAC bb cream is too hydrating right now and I have gone through my rest. Foundations I can’t bear to wear in this heat! Phir? Lisa Eldridge had raved about the new bourjois 123 cc cream
Bourjois Claims: The next generation of foundation! Combining -THE COLOUR CORRECTION OF A FOUNDATION + THE SKINCARE ACTION OF A CREAM. Thanks to its 3 colour correcting pigments that smooth away imperfections –
APRICOT pigments > anti-fatigue | GREEN pigments > anti-redness | WHITE pigments > anti-dark spots
24 hr hydration, SPF 15. Result: luminous complexion & flawless skin in one step.
My Review:
The bourjois CC cream comes in such a cute convenient plastic tube with a nozzle mouth. Very sleek, easy to carry and dispense.
The texture is very very nice and light, not at all heavy or oily and can be applied very smoothly and easily. The shade Ivory seemed to be too white for me at first but once I applied- voila! It adapted to my skin like magic and behaved like my second skin. It made my face look clean and bright, it covered all minor redness and blemishes and even got rid of my dark circles to an extent! I purposely dabbed it on top of my angry new red pimple and yess the green pigment worked. My pimple was not noticeable anymore!
I looked like I had no layer on my face at all and even after the entire day there was no oil on face to speak of. My t-zone had just started to look shiny when I came home but that’s easily solved by dabbing a powder sponge. It did not melt away by sweat or oxidize and lasted all through! Very impressed.
Swatches in natural light
It comes with SPF15 which is 1 of the major positive points as I never step out without sunscreen. So it means in this humid heat I wont have to layer this up with anything else. The smell is slightly fruity and nice and fades within a few minutes of application.

How it looks on me: no concealer on..just applied cc cream

VNA Rating: 4.5/5
Do I recommend? Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream is better than all other drugstore brands yet again. The lovely light and smooth texture, concealing of a large number of skin flaws, lasting through the day plus SPF ensures it’s a must have this summer ladies. Highly recommended!Hope you guys are in love already. If not, do check it at the counter and I guarantee you will be in love once you touch your face.

looks great and your skin looks flawless.. but it's a bit expensive :/ i guess i'll give it a shot though :)
Yeahh aditi :-( bourjois alwez kp their prices a bit steep! But their products make it worth :) u must try!
I have been trying to get my hands on this for the longest of times. I am NC42 in MAC and every shade I try seems too light on me :(
Yess supria this is a common qualm we hv dat bourjois dsnt make shades suitable enough for olive / golden tones. But since its sheer, u cn try the 33 shade mixed with a drop of ur normal foundi :)
I was looking forward to this one, now I am def getting it :))
Hehe m glad my post convinced u mamta! Do try it out :)
