Lakme 9 to 5 Complexion Care CC Cream
Hi friends,
Welcome to In my vanity box.
Today I am going to review the Lakme 9 to 5 Complexion Care CC Cream.
A CC cream is something that is very handy and convenient to use on a daily basis. It is possible that some people use foundation every day but for some others (like me), it might not be suitable. We look for more no makeup-makeup look on an everyday basis for college or office. A CC or BB cream is the best choice for it as it gives you light coverage and makes your skin tone even without making it look cakey and made up.

My experience
I have used this cream on and off for a couple of months now. I have oily skin and so always have the issue of my skin looking cakey and shiny because of products on it. The first time I used this cream was in the winter season and since my skin was behaving well, it turned out to be really good. I had used my fingers to blend it in my skin. It gave me a good even skin tone with a slight coverage.
After that, when I tried using it with a sponge, it wouldn't blend easily. My skin looked white and cakey to some extent with a little bit of greasiness. The cream is white with some granules in it that provide the necessary tint to your skin. It seemed a little difficult to blend with the sponge.
My skin has a lot of texture and so it sometimes gets difficult to blend things in. This cream is a little thick in consistency and I started facing the same issue. But then, I have started taking some moisturizer and mixing this cream in it and then applying on my skin. It becomes a lot easier and also provides moisture and makes my skin even toned. However, since my skin is oily, I sometimes face issue of it becoming oilier after some hours even after applying compact. It doesn't become greasy but just shiny.
But I am still using the cream since it makes my skin even toned and is very convenient to use.

- Contains SPF 30 PA++ protection
- Provides slight coverage
- Affordable price
- Long lasting, this 30ml tube will easily last for 2 months
- Evens skin tone
- Travel friendly packaging
- Easily available at stores and online shopping websites
Cons
- Not suitable for very oily skin
- Doesn't blend well with sponge
