LOTD: Fresh Glow (feat. Kanebo Freshel White C W Cream UV) & Review Time!

Do you know that Kanebo Freshel's Top Seller is BB Cream? Prior to the Bloggers' Event I attended, I already bought Kanebo Freshel White C W Cream UV from Watsons. Heard so much about it and I love trying BB Creams! Hence, the purchase. True enough, it didn't disappoint me.

To sum it up: This perfect BB cream work as an essence, emulsion, cream, sunscreen, and light makeup base.

Formulated with adhesive collagen for moisturizing effect and a fruit acid mixture for exfoliating and moisturizing care. This non-greasy moisturizing cream provides UV protection (SPF32-PA++) and covers dark spots. Effortlessly smooths into the skin for a quick finish, making it possible to complete morning care quickly with just this cream.

Here's a comparison between the Kanebo Freshel BB Creams. It's somewhat odd that the Moist Lift W Cream has a slightly lighter shade. I've yet to try this BB Cream which was provided by Kanebo Freshel (goodie bag), coz I'm pretty much obsessed with the White C W Cream UV one. This is the best-est BB Cream I've tried used so far. I've tried/used so many BB Creams under the influence of Kimoko's blog.

Not much of a difference when blended out.

My naked face, when my skin was still "behaving well".

See the side without BB Cream? Eeks.

Fully covered! ^.^

The texture of this Freshel White C W Cream UV is smooth and light-weight. Feels so comfortable on my skin! It offers adequate excellent coverage for my imperfections (spots, scars, dark circles, pores, etc). With that, I skip the use of concealer. The BB Cream evens out my skintone perfectly and my face is clearly more radiant (evident in the following photos below). I just need to lightly brush on some loose powder to set the makeup. There is no need to apply sunblock since it provides UV protection (SPF32-PA++). Saves time and fuss-free!

This BB Cream has slight yellow tones and IMO, it's more suitable for fair-medium skin tones (NC20/25). I find that I didn't blot as much when using this BB Cream. Overall, it gives me a dewy glowy finish which I loveee so much!

Okay, my following LOTD is similar to a LOTD I did previously (using different products though).

Face:

  • Kanebo Freshel White C W Cream UV
  • Chacott Finishing Powder 753

    •  

    Eyes:

  • BoBo summer gradually compact (a random e/s palette I got from Ta Zhiang. $8ish I think. The darker shades are really pretty IMO.)
  • Kiss Me Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara
  • Majolica Majorca Customize Sword Cut BR771
  • KATE Eyebrow Color LB-1
  • Stage Kohl Pencil 01 Karma Khol

    •  

    Hey, I didn't use any highlight/blusher!

    Highly recommended! Retails for $33/50g at Watsons. Convinced yet?

      Hi Min,

      I just googled "Freshel Mineral White C BB cream" -> http://www.kanebo-cosmetics.jp/freshel/ This is actually newer than the one I've! Higher SPF of 41 PA++.. I guess it should be better.. I'm loving the one I've alot too! Just use it today again.. Like what you said, it's just like my 2nd skin.. Thanks for following~ Hope you'll enjoy reading my blog! ^.^

      ♥ Hanru

      Oh ic.
      no wonder.. i got it overseas.. i didnt see other white C on the shelf, so i just grabbed that.. yeah u rite.. its SPF 41..
      I am sunblock freak.. feel insecure if i use below SPF 50.. but seeing tht its SPF 41, i feel much better skipping my sunblock :)
      Also, there are 2 tone color available for both White C and Moist BB cream overseas.. unlike SG only carry 1 tone for each.

      Yups only 1 tone.. which is usually more suitable for fair to fair-medium skin tone ladies.. It's great that there're 2 tone colors available overseas.. More choices available is a good thing! For me, I usually use BB cream as an all-in-1, so I basically skip sunblock and concealer.. unless there's no SPF then I'll use sunblock.. (:
