First there were the BB Creams and now we have CC creams. Personally, I'm getting a little sick of all this. especially since I am seeing the term "DD Cream" being tossed around. I bought one of the less expensive CC reams for research purposes. Okay, fine. I was very curious, especially since this Sephora CC Cream is earning rave reviews. Better than high end brands, even. And with good reason. This stuff is good. I just wish it had a slightly higher SPF.
Shades
This CC cream has 6 available shades: Fair(P), Light(Y), Medium(N), Medium Tan(P), Tan(N), Dark(Y) and Deep(P). I went with Fair, which matches perfectly. Light was way, way too yellow.
Unlike a lot of the BB creams I've tried, this has a creamy and thicker texture. It blends right in and feels lightweight. I don't have a huge problem with it becoming oily. It still does (oil is just unavoidable for me) but not anywhere near as bad as foundations. It doesn't settle into any lines or pores. The coverage is awesome. It covers blemishes and redness without looking heavy. It has a very natural look. My skin looks more vibrant, even toned and glowing when wearing the CC cream. It stays on me all day and it doesn't have any odd smell. The packaging is very simple and nothing fancy. It just comes in a basic squeeze tube. It costs $26.
Here are some before and after pictures. I tried to include pictures in different lighting.

The Skin Perfecting CC Cream smoothed out my skin and gave it a more lively appearance. I mean that first before picture is just scary beyond belief. In all seriousness, this is worth checking out. I am loving it.
