I liked this product well enough after a week of use but the "miracle perfector" claim is unsurprisingly an exaggeration.
The consistency was light and easy to blend and I found the scent unobtrusive but vaguely reminiscent of sunscreen. This was not at all unpleasant though.
I am definitely prone to red and dry patches and this did an okay but not great job of minimising the appearance of my problem areas, even with two applications. I think the coverage just wasn't quite enough for my taste.
I found I liked this product a lot more when I used it as a primer under my foundation and powder. I applied it after my usual moisturiser as I didn't find it hydrating enough to use as a moisturiser substitute. It was nice and light and my face didn't feel greasy at any point of the day. I did feel like I didn't need to apply my foundation as heavily with this as a base and I didn't need any touch ups.
In summary, this was great supplementary product to my usual base makeup. I wouldn't call it a miracle product that could replace my moisturiser, sunscreen and foundation though as I prefer something more moisturising, with heavier coverage and a higher SPF.
Received this bb cream last week from BR (thanks ladies :D ) I was so excited i did a little dance, sadly the excitement was short lived.
Tried it on straight away, coverage was that of a tinted moisturizer, it isnt the amount of coverage that i would expect from a standard bb cream. The product moved around on my face and didnt sit nicely on the skin, instead it sunk into my pores and fine lines making them more obvious :( I have rosacea on my cheeks and jaw line and this bb cream did nothing to cover that as most tinted moisturizers wouldnt, but to give it a fair try i applied two layers hoping to build the coverage, sadly the coverage built in random areas of my face (around my nose, eyebrows, hairline, chin, and the outer corners of my eyes) And the previous layer i had applied to my cheeks had moved about and the product that was sitting in my pores and fine lines was even more obvious, and my rosacea was now showing through in patches.
determined to give it a fair go, i finished my makeup and went out to town (I didnt powder as i wanted to see how it lasted without powder) It was raining and as soon as i stepped out the door the test was all over. basically as soon as water touched my face, the bb cream washed off. it actually turned the water into a white murky mess and then dribbled off my face, the only reason i knew it was coming off was because all the water landed on my black shirt.... oops lol.
i gave this bb cream to my little sister who has reasonably good skin anyways and told her to set it with powder. lets hope she has a better experience with it.
Tips: TO BE FAIR, this bb cream might be okay for someone with good skin who just needs to even out their skin tone. as i have quite bright red cheeks i need more coverage. consider this before making a purchase.
