I wanted to try this product as id never tried a BB cream before and id seen adverts on TV. Also it was on special at the supermarket, so easy for me to sneak in the trolley while my partner wasnt looking hehe
Firstly its a rather thick consistency. I didnt really like the smell. I found it too strong for my liking. It didnt blend as well as i thought it would. Its the same texture as my moisturizer so thought it would blend out the same. But it was pretty difficult in my opinion.
It didnt stick to my dry patches which was good. But that didnt make up for the rest of it unfortunately. I tried it by itself, with powder and primer and also as a base for my foundation. Every way i tried just did not work!
It went very oily and made my foundation slip all over the place. Even after setting it it made my makeup wear off much quicker than normal.
The color was also very off to me. I felt like an oompa loompa!! It was so orange and oxidized very quickly. I ended up looking terrible. I was actually embarrassed to be in public with an oxidized/orange face :(
i will not be using this product ever again. I may gift it to someone who self tans lol.
I have been using this daily since I bought it, it does the job but in my opinion you need to already have quite nice skin for it to do a good job. So on a good day it evens out my skin tone nicely. On most days I don't like to have full foundation so this is a nice daily alternative with a lighter coverage. The smell is quite strong but not too unpleasant and I find that I really need to wash my hands thoroughly after applying as its quite greasy.
I do like the colour however I am a light olive skin so would say its quite dark and not sure it would work with anything lighter. The consistency is quite thick but I liked that about it as it worked well for me.
I use this and then set it with a bit of powder and bronzer, if you have a few blemishes I would recommend something with a bit more coverage, I will continue to use this but will most likely try another brand to see if I can find something that suits better
