To begin with,What first is a BB cream????
BB cream stands for blemish balm, blemish base, or beblesh balm (apparently because of a trademark in Korea on the word "blemish"), and in Western markets, beauty balm.
BB cream is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sunblock. It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturizer, over serum and moisturizer as a regular foundation, and under powder, depending on the desired amount of coverage. (Courtesy of Wikipedia )
I have some factors when it comes to bb creams..
1. The Price.... ( I'm price-conscious.. i don't buy expensive products.. I prefer drugstore products.)
2. The Quality.. (Even though it's cheap, I always test it twice or thrice before I buy.If I'm not sure about the product, I always find another one..)
3. The Ingredients.. ( I always view the back of the product to see the ingredients--to be sure that it can't harm my skin oh and to add, bb creams do have SPF right? so plus points if it has higher SPF..)
4. The Shade... ( BB creams that has 1 or 2 shades available is so annoying because sometimes, it doesn't suit my skintone. :)
5. The Formulation ... ( I like having the perfect blend.. not to watery and not to thick..)
I've searched many beauty blogs to see what's their recommended bb creams.. but almost 50% of their creams were expensive.. then I've found interesting one.. The pure beauty jasmine water bb cream ---- it was the first bb cream i've ever tried..
It costs php300 .. and can be bought at Watsons, and SM department stores..
Can you see??? It's made in Korea :) plus its a plus point that it have expiration date on the box (sorry i dont find the box of it):< .. Here's the swatch....
the shade is pinkish but it blends perfectly to my neutral skin tone. :)
the texture is perfect ...but be sure to apply as fast as you can because it tends to become streaky......... and a little amount is soo enough to cover your face.. i remember when i apply so much of it.. my face got so cakey... as in.... I'm so noob that time.. haha.
hmmmmmmm.... and oh! I love the smell also.. it has a smell of a jasmine.. (of course it's obvious). haha...
what I dont like is that the pumping tube is so so lame.. I mean, when you get the tube in downward position, the bb cream gets out easily and it spills sometimes... So I store it in upward postion..---the pumping is so annoying.
I used it for 6 months and I don't got any breakouts. :)
but overall i rate this: 3/5 stars.. :)
