Product Price: $5.00-$13.00; I bought mine on ebay for $5.99
Where can I get it?: Ebay.com, Amazon.com
Pros: Creamy, Moisturizing, light-weight, perfect color, no grey-cast, beautiful application
Cons: Strong smell, bottle isn't big enough (in my opinion), not sold in the US
First Impression:
So, when I set out to get a BB cream, I just knew that I wanted something moisturizing. I found this in a set of 4 on Ebay; whitening, moisturizing, extra sunscreen, and anti-acne. I thought the moisturizing one looked interesting so I found it by itself and bought it. I was a little worried because I have tried 1 BB cream in the past and it...kinda sucked. But, this is a new day, a new product, and I gave it a good go. I'm so so so happy that I did!
Lasting impression:
This BB cream is absolutely incredible! When I put it on I was expecting what I got with the last one I tried (over 5 years ago): dry, cakey finish, gray-cat, bad smell, sticky...Instead it was creamy, smooth, non-cakey, SUPER moisturizing, and looked GREAT on my skin! It made my skin look so healthy and bright, well-rested and awake...I couldn't get over it! I stared at my face in the mirror for hours, just admiring what this product does for my skin. The only real "negative" to this product is the very strong florally scent that it has. I have a hard time not getting too much of that scent i my nose when I apply it, but quite honestly, if the worst part of this product is the smell...I will deal with it!
I would also highly suggest anyone looking for a BB Cream, buys one from Korea or Japan. The ones in the US are basically glorified tinted-moisturizers! Some companies (*cough* CoverGirl *cough*) have openly admitted that their "BB Creams" are re-packaged versions of their tinted-moisturizers that they have made in the past. They are cheap and easy to acquire, yes. But it's just not worth it for a crap product. You're much better off ordering, or getting an adult to order for you, a proper BB cream from Japan or Korea...Apart from shipping as well, they are not overly-expensive. This one I bought on Ebay for $5.99 with FREE SHIPPING! That's more thn worth it in my opinion!
Verdict:
I absolutely adore this BB cream, I want it forever! And if it is ever discontinued I will cry actual tears of pure sadness. Then die. Maybe.
Would I recommend this to a friend?:
YES! Sweet mother of pearl, YES! If you don't use this I highly recommend you do!
Would I repurchase?:
I already have, and will continue to!
