Review: Skin79 Crystal Pearl BB Cream

I love Skin79 BB Creams. As of now, I've six of 'em. Only one (Lovely Girl) was provided by the company for review.

In this post, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Skin79 Crystal Pearl BB Cream - The Diamond Collection BB line.

Pink is (always)!

Fancy diamonds on your face? *bling-bling*

Pale beige shade, with slightly yellow undertones. Suitable for NC/NW25 and below (in my opinion).

Diamond Powder and Blooming Jewel Complex consisting of 5 jewels including Amethyst & Ruby (makes skin more luminous and shine like jewellery thru' light diffusion effect).

Flora Bouquet Complex extract makes skin vital and glossy by keeping skin healthy from harmful environment and sensitive stimulus.

Can be used for entire face or as a highlighter.

The cap reveals a Secret Multi Pot, which holds the cream highlighter.

A lovely pale shimmery pink.

Apply gently to the brow bone, nose bridge and cheekbone..

Crystal Pearl BB Cream has a runny creamy texture, which spreads easily on the skin. A rather light and sheer coverage, which is akin to a tinted moisturizer. This is a BB Cream I use only on good skin days. As shown from the images above, it doesn't hide imperfections well. Gives a dewy glowy finish. Under bright sunlight, my face does look very shimmery. If you've large pores, you might wanna steer clear of this. The shimmers will actually accentuate the look of pores. The oil control isn't that good. The skin appears greasy after about 2 hrs or so.

The scent was rather similar to Lovely Girl; light sweet fruity. Do note that it does not contain any SPF, so do remember to apply sunblock!

Well, I find that this Crystal Pearl BB Cream is more ideal to be used as a highlighter. Apply liquid foundation (that has more coverage), then this BB Cream to highlight the T-zone and cheekbones. CLICK HERE for the LOTD I blogged about earlier on, using this BB Cream for the entire face.

For a more radiant and three-dimensional facial contour, the bonus cream highlighter will be useful much! I like to use it especially for my cheekbone and brow bone.

That's all for now. Will be reviewing other BB Creams in days to come. Hope this review helps (:
