CC Creams......better than BB Creams?!

While BB Creams are hitting the Western market by force this year, CC Creams are making an impact in Asia! 

So, what are CC Creams I hear you ask?!  CC Creams, which stands for 'Colour Control', are dubbed as the next generation BB Creams.  They have the existing benefits of a BB Cream - Moisturising, Skin Repair, Anti-aging, Primer, Foundation and SPF.  BUT, CC Creams are more nourishing, offers a better coverage with lighter consistency in a non-oily formula, and offers a darker range of shades!  The light and non-oily formula is great for those with oilier skin (BB Creams tend not to favour those with oily skin types), and help prevent the cream from clogging up pores resulting in fewer breakouts (BB Creams tend to have a heavy consistency with reports of causing breakouts in some!).  And finally, the 'Colour Control' part of the cream gets rid of the grey cast that tends to be popular in most BB Creams.

CC Creams have been on the market for quite a while now, but since Chanel's version of the CC Cream: 'Complete Correction' Cream have been making headlines in the beauty world, CC Creams are now getting more attention.

CC Creams:

IFiona CC Cream

Racheal K CC Cream

The Skin Shop: Iris CC Cream

Chanel: Completec Correction Cream

I can definately see myself using this cream if what they say about being suitable for the oiler skin type and prevent breakouts is true!  While I can easily get my hands on the Rachel K CC Cream, I may hold out for the Chanel one!
