This is the first time i tried BB cream coming from Loreal. Before that, i had heard many not so good review about this BB cream. This BB cream claimed to self adjust to every skin tone which i of course do not believe it the moment i press the bb cream out of the tube. The cream is pure white with tiny capsules like scrub.
It claimed to minimises pores, smoothen skin texture, covers spots, reduces the appearance of fine lines, even skin tone, luminous finish, 24 hours of hydration, all day comfort, light feel texture and spf 20+++. It is suppose to make the skin glows from within, all day light feel and radiant complexion.
the swatches. I have not blend it in circular mode.
The BB cream contains bb capsules that when activated will self adjust to every skin tone. Personally, i tried this twice. The first time, it was a total failure as i look totally white like a ghost and i had to apply another darker tone bb cream on top making me looking a little better but still white. The mistake was i applied it like how i normally just apply any bb cream. Dot on the photo head and just swipe across.
The second time, i realise that it may have something to do with my application to turn the white beads into color close to my skin. I have to apply it in circular method and break the capsules like a scrub with tiny beads into colour to our skin. Keep going around and around in circular mode( like clockwise) until the colour turn from white to yellowish. I am not sure how it will turn on other skin. It turn into my skin colour from being white at first. I didn't have breakout that day so i am not sure if it will cause me allergies. It does illuminate the skin but not sure about oil control as my T-zone was a little oily after 8 hours.
So here is the bb cream on my face. Sorry, nothing on my face except the bb cream.
Overall i think it is not bad except that there should be printed where the consumer are told how to apply the bb cream or i think most will apply BB cream the usual way instead of applying it in circular mode until the colour changes.
This is not a sponsored review. Samples are from the samples event conducted by Loreal Paris Malaysia. However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.
the Elianto CC Cream I have is also like this, only one colour type, and the colour will change according to skin tone
ReplyDeletei see and you have to rub the cc cream too until the colour change? Does it contain those capsules (a little like scrub)? Been hearing a lot about the Elianto cc cream too
DeleteAre CC creams like much more expensive than bb creams? Btw I'm hosting a giveaway, maybe you can join for fun? XD http://voncherie.com/2013/08/08/first-giveaway/
ReplyDeleteOk =) . It depends. Some CC cream are quite cheap and some are quite expensive. Some people use CC and BB together. I usually treat them as makeup when i use them. Don't ever go to sleep with BB or CC cream on the face.
