A daily hit of the most stupendously brilliant things to land on the beauty desk. This is survival of the fittest.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that with the arrival of CC creams - and even DD creams - the BB cream ship has sailed. It hasn't. At least where Ren is concerned. With a texture like satin (thereby appropriating its name) and the sheerest veil of glowy coverage that works wonders on fair to medium skin tones, it's model skin in a bottle. All that's for Ren to do is create one for black skin.
