Dr Jart Regenerating Beauty Balm

Achieving a flawless look with Dr Jart Regenerating Beauty Balm:

All though BB creams have been out for a while now, I have only just recently been made aware of them due to seeing the ever increasing advertising for the UK versions that have recently been marketed by the likes of 17, L'Oreal and Garnier to name a few.

I've recently finished my pot of day cream so thought i'd jump on the BB cream bandwagon too  and see what all the fuss is about. These creams claim to do every thing in one - offer coverage of imperfections, moisturise, contain sun factor and more, so for me, I was quite keen to try this out!
At the moment my morning routine consists of applying moisturiser which contains sun protection followed by another moisturiser which adds a bit of glow, and then some concealer, foundation and powder (only where required on dark circles or imperfections).
Surely switching to using just one product in the form of a BB cream would save me so much more time!

Now there are many different ones to choose from, but because these creams have long been all the rage across the water in Asia, I decided to go for one made by Dr Jart which is readily sold in Boots.
Dr Jart make a few BB creams to suit different skin types and ages - and after careful, lengthy consideration I opted for the Regenerating Beauty Balm which comes in the silver packaging.

It costs £21 for 50ml - so it isn't cheap, but what I found is that a little of this product luckily goes a long long way. And the packaging is quite pretty too!
I have quite pale oriental skin and there is only one shade option to suit all, so you may find it a bit risky buying this without trying it first. Some Boots stores may have testers, otherwise you'll have to brave it and hope for the best.

It's easy to apply, slightly thicker in consistency compared to my usual moisturiser. I used my fingers and dotted it onto my skin then worked it in. It doesn't cover dark under eye circles completely, so you may need to use a little concealer first. Depending on what kind of look you are going for, you could skip the blusher and opt for pale skin and dramatic eyes or lips, or, you could add blusher/bronzer to prevent your complexion from looking too washed out.

I found that it lasted all day, when I was rushing around at work my skin did start to feel a little greasy and shiny, but overall I was pleased with this product. It evened out my skin tone and made getting made up for work a lot simpler.

Have you tried this Dr Jart Regenerating Beauty Balm before? What did you think? What other ones do you or have you used?
