REVIEW TIME!!
The Face Shop Shimmering BB Cream... pictures first
front,the box.nice purple color
the back
back 2,click the picture for clearer view
the box and tube...it is in tube form,easy to control amt of cream(not that creamy actually).
ingredients...click picture for clear view. :)
Now for the swatches........way many of them har.....i choose the pics until giddy....cos all so shimmer :s
it actually looks a bit peach color.
i realised i forgot to take pics when lightly swiped out so i tried to take a pic just now but i cant get the color right. it is difficult to take pic in night lighting :(
applied a bit too thick? it looks whitish pinkish here.
look at the amount of shimmers :O. the two arrows to show the area shimmers are most obvious
the circled part, no coverage for this bb cream :( my spots still can be seen. layering it does not work.
well, it does brighten the skin when i just started using but after some time, it does not work anymore.i looked dull yet full of shimmers on my face! BAD,really bad!
after an hour, i went to wash my hands....and......
only the shimmers left on my hand and so shiny?
can you imagine if you applied this bb cream and later your face got oily? so not for oily skin people.
to add on.....this bb cream has fragrance, smells like powder and rose? i think it is better to use as highlights, not for whole face. i was dumb to use it for like a few months without concealer! my dark eye circles,damn horrible man! no wonder i looked weird but too slow to realise whats wrong :( i feel bad until now.
the good :)
1) brightening effect... i saw people asking questions on qoo10 asking about brightening bb creams and the korean seller recommended shimmer types as popular choice.
2) easy to apply as not creamy and not watery.
3) has spf... hmm i think still need to use separate sunblock lah :)
4) no breakouts although it has fragrance
the bad :(
1) too much shimmers. some say looks like disco ball :P LOL.
2) no coverage. for people who needs to cover eye circles, spots and acne, need to use concealer.
3) for oily skin people will look greasy. the bb cream itself is not oily actually.
4) for people who dislike or allergic to fragrance (i am ok with it,a little fragrance for me to smell and feel good LOL)
as you can see my descriptions above, i wont be purchasing this bb cream again. so many other brands to try and i dont like looking too shiny.
ok.....i hope it is detailed enough :) . thank you for reading and do leave a message :) cya.
