this the first bb cream i purchased. my skin is oily and has acne..but not really bad.( i have my moments when it gets worse XD)
right now i’m looking for a new BB cream for my oily and problomatic skin in this site! and i saw this one…since i used it and still do because it’s the only one i have, i’ve decided to review it!
(i should mention that i’m no japanese..i’m originally from russia! but i’m living for 12 years in a very hot and humid country .. espesially now at summer! so my skin gets oily a lot more!)
first of all the package!: very pretty and cute! fell in love with it when it arrived!
the cream was kinda dark for me and i panicked the first time! but it blended fast and looked nice! the texture is ok! didn’t see any problem with that!
it doesn’t control oil..even though on Ebay it was said that it was.. well it wasn’t a tiny little bit.
and i didn’t use loose powder that time( which i do now and it controls my oil so well!^^)
it has a light coverage it might suit those who don’t want the “i’m wearing make up” look. but i don’t mind looking like i’m with make up and need a bb cream with a thicker coverage for my blemishes!(any suggestions?)but it really blends well! looks extremely natural.
it smells ok…not very good and not bad..somehow reminds me of a medicine! but it fades right away when using! so it’s no problem.
overall it’s a nice and simple product… just not for me! very nice and not thick and blends well with your skintone!
** last thing: when i recieved this bb cream i recieved also 2 samples of Skinfood bb cream with honey and black tea..i tried it and liked it more!! worth to check out!

First, I think the shade of this BB Cream is rather dark compare to other BB Creams. It doesn’t provide much coverage and the texture is a little liquidity. Also, I think this is a little dry after applying.
Don’t know why there are so many CONS, but this product is not that bad overall.
This one is okay for me, I don’t like it quite as much as some of the others I’ve tried. Part of the problem is the color is just too dark for me, and now that it is winter it is almost impossible to wear. It does a nice job of hiding my undereye circles and fine lines- I do need to blot my forehead after a long day but otherwise it isn’t too oily or too dry. It builds pretty easily, but be careful or you get too much on and it looks masklike. I’d call it a medium coverage that builds to heavy.
The scent reminds me of Noxema, but it dissipates quickly. I would prefer a squeeze tube to the pump, as I usually get too much and have to rinse it down the drain.
I do wish it had spf- it would probably work better for me in the summer when I have a bit of color, but I need an spf in the summer. (Unless it has spf and I just can’t read the Korean on the back…translations would be SO helpful…anyone?)
On someone with a slightly darker skin tone (I’m a strawberry blonde blue eyed super-pale Caucasian) I think this would be very nice. I might end up giving this to one of my darker skinned friends, since it works just not for me!
This BB cream is fairly decent. It’s not as good as the BRTC in my opinion. However it does a fairly nice job at making my skin look even toned. I have very bad oily acne skin and this is not good for covering it up. It is a bit too sheer in my opinion. However if you have fairly nice skin and are just looking for a bb cream to even out your skintone, this would be for you. This cream comes in a small tube, and the color was a perfect match for my skin, but you do need to do a bit of massaging to get the makeup spread out evenly. I wear mac nc 20.
So overall, this would be a good product for those with non problematic skin.
This BB cream was okay for me. I have normal skin and am very pale, and I found that the shade was much too dark for my skin. It goes on nicely and despite what I have heard from others I think that the pump is not too hard to control. However, after you put it on you have to take a while to blend it in. Also, the oil control is not very good… I think my face feels more oily a few hours after I put it on. It didn’t make me break out at all, though. The smell is very bad but it doesn’t last, so it’s not really a problem. Overall I didn’t hate it but I wouldn’t buy it again. I think it would be best for people with normal skin who are not too pale.
My skin is very oily, acne prone and I have a lot of blemishes.
The coverage of this BB cream i would say, medium. It does conceal my pores and some of the blemishes that I have. When applied, the skin looks dewy but it is somehow makes me look pale. It is somehow matched with my skin after 2 hours or so, but my it doesn’t have a good oil control. I really need to blot after 2 hours. It smells like plastic, but it will be gone after you apply it. The texture is watery and it is pretty hard to control the amount from the tube. The only positive thing was the fresh feeling when I apply it.
I think this BB cream will be great for those with dry/normal and fair skin. This just won’t do for people with slightly tanned/medium and oily/combination skin. Just my 2 cents
Etude house is very famous, but i didnt like this bb cream much. Its so thick and the color is not white enough…its have a very dark tone and smell bad to me. the coverage is ok..You have to blend very welll to have you skin cover. nice coverage but i didnt like the color of it. Its control oil and give ur skin a soft look. over all, its ok. i didnt like much.
