This is my current go-to face product. Initially I was upset that there was only 3 shades available. but luckily the shade 'Bronze' suited me and am ecstatic about it. So obviously I will be reviewing about the shade' Bronze' here. When I saw their ad featuring Sarah Jane and when she said 'I found this awesome product' I actually snorted. In spite of my obvious sarcasm I went for this one as the other BB cream's shades weren't suiting me or they had this 'Fairness' aspect in them. On choosing this 'Amazing product' (no sarcasm here) I really did fall in love with it. I have been using it for more than 2 months now and loving it bit more every time I use it.
The first thing I love about this
product is its fragrance. I JUST LOVE IT. It smells so familiar yet i'm not
able to place it exactly. It makes me feel nostalgic, like some old memory.
Every time I take a whiff, I do it for this very feeling and rewarded by this
blossoming happy feeling. I know it may feel exaggerated that I have spoken so
much about the fragrance but this is the best thing about it for me.
Now about it claims, It does
conceal...a bit. It provides light to medium coverage at the max. This is okay
with me as I don't use Concealer on a daily basis. It definitely evens out my
skin, brightens my face and gives me
that glow without making me look shiny on my already oily face. A bright face
does look fresh so it does good in its other claim too. Initially it looks a bit too much, like washed out. But gradually it settles down to a nice glow-y finish. It doesn't work too
well when it comes to moisturizing. A dry face would still need a moisturizer
before using this product. On an oily face, one could skip moisturizing or go
with a very light form of moisturizer.
Now about the claims of healing
and protecting, I agree with 'Protecting' as there is SPF20 in it. I wish it
had bit more SPF like 30 in it as Indian weather does need that much. If I were
to go outside using this product, I would still need to put on additional
sunscreen because this one doesn't have sufficient SPF in it.
There is an info card along with
the package with the directions on how to use it; For me, the amount suggested
on the pic is not enough and blending with fingers leaves it streaky as I find
it tad difficult to spread it. I use my stippling brush to do that just and it
leaves a smooth and streak less finish.
The best way for me to use this
is to use it over a primer. I find that this way makes it easy to blend with my
fingers and little product goes a long way.
My face becomes a bit shiny with
oil after some time without powder, so need to set it with a mattifying powder
or can use a mattifying primer underneath.Here is my FOTD using this product:
