okay. i broke this month. i spent too much money on beauty stuff. i had to stop. and the almost last thing that i bought (and fortunately was on my wish list) was bb cream.
i know i was late jumping on the bb cream wagon. i didn't want to try it at first since i still got my revlon TWC and max factor foundation. but as my TWC started to show a hole, which means, i almost finished it, i decided to try bb cream. there were tons of bb creams right now. every brand tried to create one, and i didn't want to jump to korean lines, though they were famous for the bb cream.. i don't know why i didn't like korean brand. i never tried one, but my sister fond of them.. so i guess probably she'll buy them and i could try hers. hahaha..
okay. so the western line of bb cream were pretty limited. and i was attracted to the body shop. lately, my beauty stuff was cruelty free (elf, nyx, and body shop mostly). and body shop had several kinds of bb cream. they had vit e cool bb cream, all in one bb cream, and even 2 moisture white shiso bb cream. one with serum, and the other only with spf 25++ PA. i bought the later. the BA told me that all in one bb cream was good for those with dry skin, since it was moisturizing. and for oily skin, like mine, stick to moisture white. the one with serum offered more benefits than the one that i bought. both had only 1 shade, so you had to be careful..
what they said about it:
moisture white shiso bb cream was a multi-action makeup base which creates fairer-looking skin in an instant and conceals, soothes, and protects.
it can be used alone as moisturiser for oily skin types, over day time moisturiser for drier skin types or under makeup to provide and added layer of confidence and protection.
ingredients:
shiso extract - reduces early melanin-making signals even before the hyperpigmentation process and melanin production cycle starts- hepling prevent uneven skin tone, brown spots and freckles.
vitamin c - provides anti-oxidant protection helping to reduce the production of melanin.
liquorice - works to limit the effect of melanin synthesis and helps to reduce the variances in skin tone.
my skin problems : oily skin, brown spots and freckles and uneven skin tone. perfect! it all included in the description. and when i tested the shades, the all in one was darker than my skin tone. both moisture white were suitable for my fair skin, but the serum one looking too white on me. while the other blended perfectly though it had spf in it.
the product : it came up with a tube. the cream blended nicely. i didn't noticed distinctive smell.
performance : well, as for color, it blended well, which was rarely happen to me since i had pretty fair skin for indonesian. and cool tones which was rare too.. (most foundation were made for warm skin tones). but for coverage, this one is pretty sheer. i didn't compare it with my TWC, but i did noticed it didn't conceal my brown spots and acne scars. i had to use concealer again. but it did smooth my skin and even the skin tone.
as for the the oiliness.. i didn't know, i just wear it for 2 hours, and i didn't have shine on my t-zone. perhaps when i tried it again full day i will update this.
i had to say this one was a nice start in bb trials. but for those who had darker skin, you might want to skip this as it might look too white on your skin.
