The CC Cream Craze

The latest buzz is far beyond last year’s beauty obsession with BB Cream. The latest and greatest? It’s Juice Beauty CC Cream.

From high fashion editorial teams to the makeup mavens at Birchbox, CC Cream has been the talk of the town among the beauty elite, and with it’s 12-in-1 multitasking skills, rightly so. Why is everyone so in love with this age-defying, skin perfecting, color correcting cream? We’ll let them tell you.

“The Next BB Cream? Enter CC creams, short for color and correct, which are basically BB creams on steroids. They provide more coverage, yet still go on sheer; they’re more moisturizing; and they contain hard-core anti-aging ingredients…Bottom line: You’re getting short- and long-term tone correction—and anti-aging benefits – in a bottle. Awesome.” -Cosmopolitan

“Like the BBs (referred to alternately as “blemish balms” and “beauty balms”), the “color correcting” CCs are tinted, antioxidant-packed skin-care/ makeup hybrids that originated in Asia… But unlike BBs, CCs work to brighten complexions and diminish pigment issues, too.” -Vogue

“For 2013, it’s all about the CC – for “color and correct” – creams. CCs are like BBs’ big sisters, offering more hydration and anti-aging ingredients. Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream is a concoction of vitamin C and grape seed extract, along with fruit stem cells to soften lines, firm skin, and increase radiance.” – Shape

“For mineral makeup devotees and natural beauty adherents, this is your best bet. With free-radical fighting antioxidants, sun protection (SPF30!), plus brightening capabilities–this does it all, naturally.” – Nylon

That’s not all. Check out the Stem Cellular CC Cream in action in this Birchbox video too!

“This is a SUPER multitasker that gives skin a seamless finish… Once you put it on you can leave it, or finish with your foundation for more coverage.” -Birchbox
