After the BB reigned supreme in everyone\u2019s beauty cabinet, the game was on to find the next cult product. Then, naming said product became an alphabetical prose that maybe even a linguist would admire the semantic creativity deployed.<\/p> <p>Seriously though, who knew we would come to this point where every cream had a matching alphabetical acronym to go by?<\/p> <p>In fact, who even knew there was a DD cream and now soon to appear EE cream? We were in the dark too till we saw rumours of EE floating around and did our research to unearth the DD.<\/p> <p>So if you are clueless as we were, here\u2019s where we step in to bring you the letter game of creams!<\/p>  <p><strong>BB (Beauty Balm)<\/strong><\/p> <p>The beauty balm began as a light to medium coverage foundation with added benefits of SPF protection, skin lightening and anti-aging.<\/p>  <p><strong>CC (Colour Corrector)<\/strong><\/p> <p>The <a title=\"Rachel K CC Cream Renew\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/rachel-k-cc-cream-renew\/\">colour corrector<\/a> is similar to the BB cream but this is more attuned to providing coverage and helps to even out skin tone. Think of it as a BB with the added benefits of a concealer\/ corrector.<\/p>  <p><strong>DD (Daily Defence)<\/strong><\/p> <p>Now, this cream is a marriage of the first two creams with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/enlarged-pores-leave-it-to-the-porefessional\/\">pore<\/a> refinement properties. So essentially, this is the best of both worlds \u2013 the BB &amp; the CC.<\/p>  <p><strong> EE (Extra Exfoliation)<\/strong><\/p> <p>Here\u2019s where the creams start serving a different purpose; where skincare needs trump makeup.<\/p> <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.previsecare.com\/\">Previse Skincare<\/a> will be launching the first of EE Creams come March. The botanical based mousse contains \u2018EE Marine Granules\u2019 that will provide extra <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/the-low-down-on-facial-scrubs-and-why-should-we-exfoliate\/\">exfoliation<\/a> when added to a traditional cleanser.<\/p> <p>Essentially, the EE cream aims to become a <a title=\"RIMOWA Vintage 1950\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/rimowa-vintage-1950\/\">travel-friendly<\/a> product capable enough to compete with other handheld <a title=\"5 products to detox your skin\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/5-detoxifying-beauty-products\/\">cleansing<\/a> and exfoliating gadgets, like the coveted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/sizing-up-the-clarisonic-cleansing-range-mia-2-or-aria\/\">Clarisonic<\/a>.<\/p> <p>So will the EE cream attain cult status and join beauty arsenals of every beauty addict? Well, honestly we think it would be hard to throw Clarisonic off the pedestal but in beauty, all is fair, and we can only wait till March rolls around!<\/p>  <p><em>Tarandip Kaur<\/em><\/p>   ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beauty world was amazed when BB creams came out, now we have CC, DD and soon EE.
