Max Factor CC Instant Complexion Enhancer Cream

The fairy godmother’s over at beauty bulletin sent me the Max Factor CC cream to review.

I hadn’t received a package from them in a while so I was very excited when I saw the courier at my door. When I opened up the package,I was a little disappointed, as I took the cc cream out of the package the colour stated tan.

Now ,as you know I am very far from tan so I was just so scared that the colour wouldn’t match my skin(I purchased a essencefoundation about a month ago and it just didn’t match at all so it made me look like an oompa loompa – review coming soon)


I have very blotchy (red patches on my pale face) skin and never thought I would purchase a bb cream as,I never believed that it would give me the coverage, I needed to achieve my desired effect and thanks to beauty bulletin I was an advanced learner and skipped right pass the bb and headed straight for the cc cream 

Prior to receiving the cc cream,I was sent some travel sized products from Isabella Garcia Skincare range(see my reviewhere). So I had been walking bare faced for about two weeks and thought I would give the cc cream a try.I normally wear foundation to have a clear complexion and require heavy coverage.

So I opened up the cc cream and was pleasantly surprised that this”tan” actually matched my skintone. So off I went to work and my colleagues could immediately see the difference.Another plus,never thought I would be so happy with my face with such light coverage but I was,this is awesome as it is now especially now that’s it’s summer,instead of a full face of foundation to the beach,now you can just put on some CC Cream and Bob’s your uncle.I will most definitely recommend this product to anyone that is keen on trying out a bb/cc cream.

The Max Factor CC Instant Complexion Enhancer cream is a reasonably priced CC cream and retails for R145.95. I was pleased that it contains soothing ingredients such as hydrating gylcerine, cucumber water and sea buckthorn extract. However, I have dry skin and after using the CC cream for some time I felt my skin become a little dry. Aside from that the application of this CC cream is great and it is long wearing too.
