Packaging was great as it’s in a narrow squeezable tube that means that when you reach the bottom you’ll not have to cut away at it to get the very last drops out, which makes it a very affordable product compared with other types of packaging on the market.
The formula itself seems to be too runny, it squirted out all over the place on first application, and it didn’t have any fragrance as far as I could tell which is great. As I normally apply my BB cream by the use of a makeup sponge, I tried this first but the product got soaked up into the sponge, so a finger and sponge blotting method was best for me. I did find that the colour was slightly on the peachy/yellow side which did nothing for me.
I also used it on my face in different ways too, by trying it with a primer underneath which resulted in the best coverage and lasted all day with no shiny marks finding their way through. Without primer on its own, this let shiny marks and didn’t make it through the day. With powder on top, with primer, this just kept it in place with no shine until time to wash off. With powder on top, with no primer this kept the shiny marks at bay for a while but not for all day wear, needed to blot out the shine.
My verdict is that I am not very impressed and most likely won’t be purchasing again, not only did it not cover my shiny areas but it also dried out the areas of my face that are prone to dry skin, so overall it wasn’t a very effective BB cream for me.
I was very keen to try this product as I've never used a BB cream before. Generally when I put something on my face, it feels clogged, and I sweat. This is so light, I was amazed at how it felt. No shine, a lovely matte finish which I love. My nose is very greasy and I couldn't see any grease at all for the whole time I had the product on. Long lasting and certainly does as it says! I'm converted!
Tips: I found it easier to dab dots on my face, then blend in, rather than put on 'like moisturiser' as instructed on the packet
