If you read the post linked above you may remember that I actually never used a BB Cream before! One of the reasons being that I love my foundations. I prefer a medium to high coverage because I have a lot of little imperfections and pigmentation.
My mom and sister on the other hand are big fans of tinted moisturizers and BB creams. So after receiving one in the mail I had to try it!

First thing I noticed is that the cream is very dark and orange for my fair skin (as you can see in the photos above). However, I have this problem all the time, especially with products that come in a limited number of shades...
About the formula: it promises five results
- UVA-UVB protection (SPF 30)
- Illuminates and evens skin tone
- Hydrates skin
- Protects against sun-induced skin damage
- Anti-dark spots
It does have a high SPF, which is always a good thing! However, I think promises 4 and 5 are only a result of this, which makes only three main results in my opinion!
I did not really notice the illumination and evening part of the claims. I thought it made my blemishes even more noticeable. Maybe because the product was just to dark for me? If it had been the right color I would have applied a second layer and maybe my skin would have been more even.
To me it did not feel very hydrating. In fact, I thought it just felt and looked a bit oily. I have combination skin that tends to get a oilier in summer so if you have dry skin you might like this part better.
Overall, it just didn't work for me because of the color. In addition to that I'm not 100% in love with the formula. The result: I'm giving it to my mom, she has a darker complexion and drier skin.
Would I recommend it to you? This is a difficult one but I believe some people would like it. If you are looking for a light coverage BB cream with a high SPF, have dry to dry combination skin and a normal to dark complexion you might like it more than I do ;)
