BB Beauty Balm Cream – What’s The Best?

Are you looking for the best BB cream for oily skin? Which BB cream brand is the best? Have you been searching for the best rates BB cream in the US? Well, we tried a bunch of Beauty Balm Creams to see which ones rated the best in our book!

1. Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm

UD BB cream

At the number one spot is Urban Decay! It is hands down the best BB cream tinted moisturizer I have ever tried. Period. It is the perfect shade, blends into skin seamlessly while minimizing the appearance of pores, lines, wrinkles and redness instantly. It even promises significantly firmer, more lifted skin in 8 weeks. Hell, I don’t even care about that part! I just LOVE how my skin looks after I put this on. It’s the main component of my 5-minute 5-product beauty routine. It’s a must-have for ALL skin types! I highly recommend it!!!!

Get it: Sephora.com – $34


2. Miracle Skin Transformer BB Cream

Really not in second place at all, this is truly another favorite of mine and I would buy it in bulk if it were just a tiny bit more affordable! This five-in-one formula is designed to hydrate, prime, enhance, mattify, and protect skin in a single step. It goes on smoother than any other BB cream I’ve tried, looks totally natural, protects your skin with SPF 20 and leaves your face looking refreshed, rather than weighed down. I also like this one because it’s available in 8 shades!

Get it: Sephora.com – $48


3. Stila Stay All Day® 10-In-One Beauty Balm

stila bb cream

I like this one because it has a touch of shimmer to it that illuminates the skin and gives you an amazing “glow” that looks natural – not sparkly. It’s an all-in-one, high-definition, age-defying beauty balm that is packed with broad-spectrum SPF 30 and ready for action. This would be my “date night” BB cream pick because the added touch of shimmer that illuminates skin is my idea of “dressing up” considering my busy-mom lifestyle. I found that this one was also good for oily skin and did not clog my pores. Bonus! I recommend this one for sure.

Get it: Sephora.com – $38


4. Clinique Age Defense BB Cream

If you have mature skin (35+) and you are looking for a double-duty BB cream that will not only make you look great today, but help improve your skin for tomorrow, then you will want to try Clinique’s Age Defense BB Cream. I am a huge fan of almost ALL CLinique products and this one is no exception. Expertly shaded to match so many skin tones and yet, it’s available in three shades, just in case you want to get picky. Goes on smooth, hide fine lines and feels light as a feather. Perfect for the spring and summer months. I definitely recommend it!

Get it: Sephora.com – $37


5. Perfekt Skin Perfection Gel

perfekt skin bb cream

Last but certainly not least is this multitasking all-in-one vitamin enriched, sweat-resistant and water-resistant skin perfector that is a lot like a BB cream. It glides on skin effortlessly to instantly improve your skin tone all while reducing redness and helping to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines. It’s one of my favorites but I have to put it in spot number 5 because of the price alone! It’s $57.50 for just 1 oz!!!! Still, it’s one of my favorites and I recommend it for all skin types.

Get it: Sephora.com – $57.50

I didn’t think a blanket could change my life bu I didn’t think a blanket could change my life but… it did. 

I’m so glad I decided to give @mybearaby a try. It’s not just another weighted blanket. It’s a lifestyle. The moment I unrolled it, I knew this blanket was different. 

Not only is it 100% organic cotton, it is award winning and has proven positive results. 85% of people reported better sleep after using the Bearaby weighted blanket and I can confirm this is true. 

From the first night with it, I immediately noticed that I fall asleep much faster - no more staring at the ceiling wondering when I’m going to fall asleep. I also noticed I sleep much more deeply and don’t wake up nearly as often which really surprised me. 

Not only that, I feel HAPPY when I wake up instead of that sinking dread feeling I normally have 🥴 Who knew a blanket could fix so many things?!

If you’re a stressed out, anxious mom like myself, do yourself a favor and get this blanket. Will it fix all your problems? No. It won’t do the dishes or fold your laundry. But it will help you sleep better and that will help everything else in life feel a lot lighter. ☺️

Highly recommend these sneakers!!!! Super comfortable, only $50 a pair, and Prime shipping from Amazon. You can’t go wrong.

I finally found a way to keep his name close to me I finally found a way to keep his name close to me every day. 💛 🐢 🌊 

This simple ring from Mint & Lily holds the name of my stillborn son—delicate, beautiful, and deeply meaningful. It’s a small way I get to remember Dylan, honor him, and carry his memory with me in the quiet moments of motherhood.

Custom jewelry like this makes space for the unseen stories so many of us carry. 💔❤️‍🩹

If you’ve ever wanted to wear your child’s name—whether they’re in your arms or in Heaven—this is a beautiful way to do it.

💍 You can customize your own name ring with @mintandlily and wear your love right on your hand.☺️

(My other ring is his birthstone)💚
