Having never used or considered using a BB cream I was excited to trial. The packaging/advertisement promises a lot for a cream. And generally these promises were surprisingly correct.
First impressions of the BB cream was that it was very runny which was not expected. Easy to make a mess, especially within the lid. The colour matched my skin well which is usually difficult when so light. Coverage was good minimising redness and blemishes. It felt light on the skin and did not appear caked on. Can be layered to give a thicker coverage. Lasted most of the day at work but by the end of the day was bearly noticeable. Was easy to apply (just with fingers as a standard cream) and easy to blend. If enough care was not taken to blend then a tide mark can be noticeable. Dried with a nice matte finish.
Generally I did like this product and less it better. I would use this product again as a quick morning/work alternative to makeup. It does what it says it will within limits of a cheaper bb cream.
I have always had combination skin, making the staying factor of my make up a constant challenge. When I saw this BB Cream, I wondered if this might finally provide a solution. My first use of the BB Cream was nottoo good, i applied like a moisturiser and so ended up with way too much product on my face! ha ha. However, on day 2 I just added a drop to each finger tip on my left hand and dabbed on my face before blending in. The Cream is runnier than I was expecting, but blended into my face beautifully. I did find that i had to store the tube upside down to prevent the product pouring out when opened. Application - is it easy to apply? How did you apply it? The coverage was great, I found that just 4 small drops was enough for my face, and that it stayed in place all day long. Usually at the end of the day when I cleanse my face, there is hardly any make up left (except mascara) but since using this BB Cream I have noticed that I still have nearly a full face of make up. Yay, finally my make up isn't running off during the day!! I think this has a great price, does what it says it will do, the packaging is easy to store and get the product out of, but for a first time user, I think a bit more application instruction would be handy. However, like i mentioned before, I recommend storing it upside down to stop the cream running out when you open it - saves mess, and product wastage. I have already told my friends around this, and will definitely be continuing to use it. After just 2 days I received compliments about how fresh and clear my face was looking :) Can't wait to see how my skin continues to improve as after just 1 week it seems to be less oily and less red. I also love the fact I haven't had to use foundation with this either!!
Tips: Less is more. Start out with a few small dabs, and ad more product if you need it. Adding too much makes you look like an extra from Jersey Shore!! ha ha
