BB creams - Finally in Doha!

We are excited to see that the BB cream has finally hit stores in Doha. This cosmetic, (well deserved) hype that was running world over has reached Doha too. BB cream is a moisturizer, foundation and a sun block, all in one, small, affordable tube.The 'B'lemish 'B'alm, like its name, conceals blemishes, evens out the skin tone, protects the skin from the sun and keeps it moisturized.  It is so important to take care of your skin in a hot place like Doha. Almost all brands have introduced their own brand of BB cream claiming a better SPF, a better glow or a better price! Unlike foundation creams, BB creams are available in limited number of shades – at the most two or three. It is perfect for everyday wear as it does not give a greasy look after you have been out in the sun for a few hours, not to forget it avoids tan or worse, skin burns. 

Here are our top 5 recommendations:

Garnier’s Skin Renew– 50ml for QAR 22.75 (one shade available- Medium Light)

Maybelline’s Dream Fresh BB cream -  30ml for QAR 45 (available in dark, light, medium and apricot)

Estee Lauder’s Day Wear BB cream – 30ml for QAR 131

Christian Dior Hydra Life BB creme – 15ml for QAR 204 (available in nude and fair)

Lancome’s UV Expert GN Shield – 30ml for QAR 235 (shades 01 and 02 available)

Good news for all the Shiseido lovers out there! Their Perfect Hydrating BB Cream is going to be available in Doha stores from April 2013 onwards.
