With it being finals week I’ve been super busy! I haven’t been getting enough sleep and definitely haven’t been treating my skin right. This BB cream is a lifesaver! It blurs all the imperfections on my skin and is really hydrating. And it takes me 10 seconds to do which means I can sleep in just a little bit longer. Then I throw on some concealer and powder and I’m out the door!
