My sister bought this BB cream around two months ago as she has acne prone skin and oily skin. She heard this BB cream works well for her skin type. So let's move on to the review, shall we? ヽ(*・ω・)ノ

Application, Texture & Scent:

The texture of this BB cream is a bit thick but not sticky. It spreads easily on my skin whether I apply it with my fingers or with my foundation brush. I only need a little amount (see the picture below) and it's enough to cover my entire face (-^〇^-). I've used it without any face powder before and this BB cream does a really good job in covering all my blemishes, redness and acne scars! I just love it! (*≧▽≦). So if you're in rush just grab this BB cream, take a little amount and spreads it all over your face and it will cover any imperfectness on your face (⌒▽⌒). But don't apply too much coz it tends to be cakey (>_<) Well, I've used many type of BB creams before and they also will makes your face cakey if you apply too much  (¬_¬). Beside great coverage, it also claims to brighten and moisturize your skin and.....it really does! How I cannot love this BB cream? (´∇ノ`*)ノ But, the most thing I like from this BB cream is...................the oil control! My sis said it takes around 6-7 hours before her face starts to be oily (>y<)I can say the oil control is same la with Missha and BRTC BB creams ( ̄ー ̄). Hmmm....the scent is just so so like other BB creams (´ー`) (but unlike Tony Moly Secret BB cream which is smells awful <- gonna review it later)

just need around this amount to cover my entire face (^_^)

Color:

I find this BB cream is too grey-ish for my skin tone (゜▽゜;). Maybe coz its whitening effect. At first I apply this BB cream, it made me look like a ghost lol. So white! But after 30 minutes, this BB cream blends nicely with my skin tone but still give whitening effect (not ghostly though). But but but..... beware if you gonna take picture with flash coz you gonna turn back to a ghost ha! At first I didn't realize it coz I didn't bother to take a picture of me when I send off my friend at the airport (just wore base makeup at that time so didn't bother to take selca lol). But when one of my friend took photos of us with her dslr (also with flash) guess what? My face turned to be so white-cast ( ̄个 ̄). One minus point from this BB cream la (¬_¬). Another day I used this BB cream again and took photos with my phone without flash and...... it turned out normal ヽ(^Д^)ノ Yeay!

 see how it's too grey for my skin?

Here are photos of me taken with flash:


do you know which one is me? ಥ‿ಥ

 nice expression ʘ‿ʘ

my face Y U SO WHITE?

 despite the ghostly look, I love the dewy finish (*^▽^*)

see the color difference between my face and neck?

Also photos of me taken with my phone (no flash):







Swatch on Face:

right cheek

my chin full of acne scars ≖‿≖

Great coverage ne? As you can see, this BB cream leaves dewy finish. I prefer dewy finish than matte one coz it makes me like a real Korean lol *slapped


Like:
  • Classy packaging
  • Comes in a tube
  • Easy to apply and great coverage
  • Just need a lil amount to cover up entire face
  • Brighten and moisturize your skin 
  • Great oil control

Dislike:
  • Tends to be cakey if you apply too much
  • Too grey-ish for my skin tone
  • Give ghostly look in flashy photos
  • A lil bit expensive compared to other BB creams

Where I got this:

I got mine at Gerai Parfum for about Rp 199.000. Kindly check their shop here as they carry many beauty products include perfumes from Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan brands. Although this BB cream a lit bit expensive compared to other brands like Faceshop, Etude, Tony Moly, Holika Holika, etc but it's really worth it! So if you have oily and acne prone skin like my sister or many blemishes, redness and acne scars like me nah this BB cream is just made for you lol *sounds like an advertise* If you don't like dewy finish just apply your fav powder to have matte finish (^_−). I don't really mind with the grey-ish effect as long as I don't take photo with flash hohoho ( ̄ー ̄)

Repurchase: Hmm...maybe no. I love this BB cream but I want to try another BB cream from another brands hehe (^v^)

So, what's your favorite BB cream? Thanks for reading ladies~ See you very soon (^_−)☆
