BB cream for me is like one step ahead to adulthood. In high school, all I wore on my face was sunscreens and some compact powder. But at the time I got to university, I decide to wear something to tone up more my face. Foundation looks too much for me, so my choice went to BB creams.
My first BB cream experience with Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream (the one you can find along with the compact powder nearly in every mini market in Indonesia) and I gotta admit that it was not a nice experience. It clogged my pores, gave a really cakey and oily result, looks just like foundations, and I must admit that I kinda hated it.
So last month I was looking for another BB cream to use on daily basis, and one of my friend gave me this Kiko BB Cream that she bought some times ago - but she never used it. I was off course gladly accepted it because, you know, that means I save 9 euros for some times ahead.
If you ever read this blog (yeah even though the majority of the reviews are written in Indonesian), I praised Kiko so much for being such an affordable yet great brand of cosmetics. So I tried this BB cream with high expectation.
Before I begin reviewing the product, let me show you a picture of it.
The BB cream contains both moisturizer and SPF 15, but nevertheless I still use my Mixa moisturizer and my Garnier Sun Protection Cream underneath it. My friend bought it with the shade number 02, Natural. When I squeeze the cream out of the tube, it doesn't look like it is pigmented at all.
The texture is extremely light, and it blends well on my skin. But in my opinion, this BB cream doesn't look as tinted as it is supposed to be (as others BB creams are). As you can see, my hand is much darker than my face (result of riding motorcycles without gloves and snorkeling for hours without sun protection cream on it), but the cream doesn't leave much trace of lighter pigmentation when I apply it on my hand. It just makes my hand looks smoother.
As when I apply it onto my face, it doesn't give any difference whether if I apply it on a lot or less amount. On the positive side, it is very lightweight and gives a glowy touch on the skin. It covers a little bit of redness, but not with dark spots which appear more on my skin, but it holds my Rimmel powder well. It also gives a really strong scent, so I don't recommend it for you who hate fragrances in your make up.
So, will I buy it when it runs off? I don't think so. I'm looking forward to try Garnier's.
By the way, I changed the URL of this blog so it matches my other social media accounts' name. So if before you access this blog by typing the princessaputee(.)blogspot(.)fr, you can change it from now to type literalhime(.)blogspot(.fr) :)
Cheers,
