With daily use, the total cost of PHP1550.00 (USD35.00) would mean PHP258.00's (USD6.00) worth of product used per month, and PHP9.00's (USD0.20!) worth per day. However, if one breaks down the price AND assuming it lasts for 6 months, the expense seems justified, even for someone without a real salary. The product's price is really meant for regularly employed people, not struggling law student part-time interns. This is why I marked my date of purchase on the cap. Would I buy this again? Maybe, if it lasts me more than 6 months and if I have extra money at that time. I am now in my third month of use, and the product feels about the half its original weight since I got it. Sleepless nights and/or that time of the month.) That I've acquired since using this BB cream are largely due to (As a side note, this product has not caused me any breakouts. Since I'm usually just in class or at work, I have no problem with this. This BB Cream is best used indoors because it has no sun protection. If this were a regular BB cream, my face would've been ghostly white. Note how my face is only discolored by the flashbulb's light bouncingĪgainst it, and not because the BB cream reacted to the bright light. No retouching necessary.Īnd yes, the main reason why I got this product holds true. A light dusting of face powder, and I'm good to go for the whole day. I usually don't bother with concealer anymore when I wear this the coverage is decent for regular days. My pores are hidden, and any pimple marks are amply (though not completely) blurred. The pimple marks have become more visible, but my pores have not.Ĭoverage and lasting power are great. This is after 8 hours inside an air conditioned office. Notice how my pores are smoothed out and how the pimple marks are blurred. This is my face with the BB Cream applied and topped off with face powder.

I focused on a problem area on purpose so that you can see the full effects of the product. Ochre was very close too, but then Light Ochre looked more seamless.
Between Ochre and Light Ochre, my skintone is a match for the latter. It also smells a little like chlorine, but once it's applied, the smell disappears.Īs usual and as unfortunately, there are only two shades. No dewy finish here, just a velvety matte. However, a runnier product does mean that it blends and absorbs more easily into the face. The product is slightly runnier than what I'm used to with Korean BB Creams.

(Remember Skin Food and its nearly triplicate price increase?) The product retails in Japan for JPY2730.00, which is roughly PHP1200.00 (USD27.00). for only adding a PHP350.00 (USD7.00) markup, though. You do have to congratulate Store Specialists Inc. Prices across different currencies: JPY2730.00 = PHP1200.00 = USD27.00 Size comparison with Mass Effect "bodyguards." Grunt and Garrus are only 3.75 inches tall. On the other, having the sponge attached to the body at all times seems wasteful, because gravity will make the sponge constantly soak up precious product, which you definitely don't want because the BB Cream is pretty small for its price. I feel like I get uneven coverage when I just use my fingers.) On one hand, the included sponge is of a good density - perfect for spreading the product around evenly. (I am not a "finger applicator" when it comes to BB Cream. I chose to remove the sponge from the product and use separate makeup sponges instead. The detachable sponge-tip applicator is mediocre for me, so I chose to twist it off.ĭon't worry about the product leaking all over the place, because the cap contains a protrusion that closes off the part where the product comes out. See the smudge a little to the right of center? It feels nice to hold, certainly, although compared to the fantastic easy-to-wipe plastics-and-metallics they've come up with for both their mascara variants, you're left wondering why they kept the BB Cream so plain (and smudge-attracting). I find the gems-and-pearls drawing around the glossy pull-off cap cute, but like the many other reviewers before me, I think the matte body is a poor design choice. Here you can see the glossy cap and the matte body.Įven the dirt-prone packaging can be forgiven. I dare say that all the glowing reviews are true too.
Yes, the price is pretty much the only thing wrong with this product. Several Google searches later, I found myself intrigued: "No SPF", "good coverage", "long lasting." I went to Beauty Bar soon after and ignored my wallet's weeping. I had heard of their mascara before, but I didn't know that they also had BB Cream. Once, I tweeted about how I was fed up with always looking like aīig, round, white moon in flash photographs because of my BB Cream.Ī classmate replied to my tweet, recommending Fairydrops.
