I fell in love with Mirabella Beauty after trying out their fabulous Faerie collection for Holiday 2014. And today I am excited to introduce you to another amazing Mirabella product – Crème de la Crème CC Cream!
Product Description :
Hydrating and soothing CC Créme formulated with skin-loving ingredients to perfect, protect, and renew skin. Bamboo Water hydrates, Apple Water soothes, Rice Extract brightens, Avocado Oil improves skin texture, Witch Hazel controls oil, Acai Berry keeps skin looking young, SPF 20 Broad Spectrum UVA/UVB protects skin.
All skin types. Non-greasy. Paraben-free, FD&C Dye-free, Gluten-free.
Mirabella’s CC Crème contains many anti-aging & brightening ingredients including acai berry, avocado oil, argan oil, rose water, phytosqualane, rice extract, bamboo water, apple water which treat the skin long-term, and also contains SPF 20 sunscreen to protect the skin. Another BIG plus for me is that it’s Gluten Free! (as you guys probably know, I am severly allergic to gluten) It’s available in 3 shades (Light, Medium and dark) and the Medium shade turned out to be a great match for my NC-25ish warm skin tone.
Mirabella CC cream has a silky, lightweight creamy texture that’s easy to apply and sets to a satin matte finish ideal for all skin types. I like to apply this product with my fingers and it blends effortlessly for a natural finish. This is one of the most pigmented CC creams I’ve tried to date and provides excellent, medium-full yet natural-looking coverage. You just need a little pea-sized amount of the product for your face and neck….a little really goes a very long way with this one so be sure to use a light hand!
The CC cream has SPF 20 but because you need so less of it, you will want to use another form of SPF (before applying this) during the day for adequate SPF protection. If you have dry skin like me, I’d recommend using a moisturizer/hydrating primer with SPF (especially now that’s it’s winter) beforehand to facilitate a super smooth application. Those with combination to oily skin would probably not need a moisturizer underneath but don’t skip the SPF!
This CC cream does a great job of not only smoothing and evening out my skin tone but covers up almost all imperfections including acne scars, redness and dark spots almost completely without looking like I’m wearing a ton of makeup…..complexion perfection in a flash! I never felt the need to use a concealer with this product. The coverage looks very natural, stays shine-free and is very long-lasting, keeps your skin looking flawless even at the end of the day.
Bottom Line
Mirabella’s CC Crème is truly the Crème de la Crème! I love its flawless, amazing coverage that somehow still feels lightweight and lasts all day without fading away. It’s the perfect alternative for those of us who don’t like using foundation for everyday makeup and need a one-step complexion perfecting product with skincare benefits to boot! It also includes a few oil controlling ingredients to help keep shine at bay (great for oily and combo skin).
Available at mirabellabeauty.com for $42. This splurge is definitely worth it!
