After all the hype over BB creams I really wanted to try one out but did my research and found that very few were inexpensive, good for combo/oily skin and made in a light enough colour for me! I managed to snag a sample of this BB cream and immediately went out and bought it after seeing the results!
I am about an NC20 for reference and the light shade in this suits me pretty well (maybe a tad too pink for me but easily fixed by mixing with my foundation or using a slightly more yellow powder). PROS: I like the squeeze tube packaging because it is sanitary and makes it easy to get the product out (I think the product is a little watery though, so you can sometimes get too much on accident, but I guess the more watery it is the easier it is to blend/you have more time to blend it out). You only need a tiny amount of this product to cover your whole face too which is great! (I tend to do one thin layer with a pea size amount and then take more and build up the coverage a little where needed).
It gives good coverage, I would say good light to medium and on a good day this would cover most of the redness on my cheeks and minor blemishes, I always use a concealer under my eyes though and on any areas which are a little worse for wear (breakouts etc). It sets really nicely to a matte finish (would not recommend fro dry skin because of this) which is not sticky and so I only need to set my T zone (where I always get oily) and any concealer with powder. It has great oil controlling properties (I eventually get subtly glow rather than oil slick) which is a nice change to most of the foundations I own.
CONS: It doesn't last as long as some of my long wearing foundations, I would say maybe 6 or so hours (depending on how oily I get) before it starts to fade a little but considering its a BB cream and doesn't claim to be long wearing, you can't really complain! It also smell like alcohol so if you have sensitive skin/are sensitive to smells you may not like that.
Overall I really like it, its a great alternative to a heavy foundation for everyday wear because it feels a lot lighter and looks more natural so I would definitely recommend trying it out! I will repurchase :)
This product is smooth to apply and left my ski. Feeling great. The skin tone looked to be too dark, but once applied it was awesome.the type is a handy purse size which means I take it everywhere everyday. The coverage is great and you don’t need to use a lot meaning it is economical.
