Hello everyone,
We’re all aware that the skin care changes, as THE seasons do. Moisturizing is utmost important in all the seasons.
So lets talk about BB creams- basically, this word was an alien to us a few years back!! However, now the market is flooded with them. Almost every brand has launched their own BB creams.
BUT to be very frank, this world of BB creams are way too confusing.. because to find the perfect shade for your skin texture is again a difficult task!!
First of all, let me tell you guys about my skin type. I have super oily skin in sweaty summers & a dry type combination in windy winters. Also I’m a warm toned person (i.e that is my skin has more yellow undertones with a fair to medium complexion)
Well, I have recently discovered this new ELISHA COY Whitening Anti-Ageing BB cream from the Lush Group.
Trust me , it’s a must have in your vanity box. Girls, it’s an amazing little make-up product which gives a light finish & is perfect for a low maintenance kind of a day.
So I’m giving you the review of this little magical product & hopefully it helps you too!!
About the Product & Ingredients
TEXTURE & EASY APPLICATION
It is more of a cross between liquid & cream. This one has a consistency of a mousse. This blends beautifully & quickly. ALSO, one has to be careful with the quantity applied or else it might give a truly ashy & powdery effect. I would suggest you use fingers to apply it, as a flat foundation brush or even a kabuki would eat it up.
(Blend it quickly after application)
Take a small amount & dab it eventually on your cheeks, forehead & chin. With your fingers, spread it throughout your face. To avoid it from caking, let it sit on for 10 minutes.
If you have a combination type of a skin, you can tone it down with a compact or loose powder after its application, the BB cream will blend nicely & will give a shiny look.
For oily skin like mine..it’s perfect for me !!!
(Now, even though if I have a bad hair day, I’m out for a lunch with my girlies or its a beautiful date with my better half.. Apply it & you’re sorted!!)
WHAT IT CLAIMS
It works as a great skin whitening moisturizer & makes glowing skin with “Gold Therapy Effect”. It tightens up the pore & protects the skin against wrinkles.
YES, in starting you won’t get instant results, but slowly & gradually you’ll definitely feel the change. It acts as a moisturiser, concealer, foundation & sunblock all in one go.
ALSO, has an amazing chamomile & organic lavender type fragrance which gives a soothing effect.
COVERAGE & UNDERTONES
It gives a sheer medium type of coverage which covers minor discolorations & the red marks with the natural dewy look, but concealer is needed to cover scars & acne . But yes, it blends like a dream on my skin,too.
For oily skin like mine.. it stays for around 6 hours without the need to touch up. (Which is pretty good considering the price)
If you’re not in shiny look (and want a matte finish) this cream ain’t your cup of tea.
(Gives an HD make up look, TOO)
SHADES
It is a premium gold BB cream which works for all the skin types. However, it comes in only one shade & gives a sheen look to face when applied. It has other creams such as Elisha Coy triple BB cream, baby BB cream, always nuddy, All-in-one cleans, etc.
STAYING POWER & SUN PROTECTION
Initially, it leaves a whitish cast as it is attributed with SPF45 PA+++ (which works as a sunscreen too for me as it scatters & absorbs UVA & UVB rays ) The cast disappears in couple of minutes.
PACKAGING
This Korean product packing is done in a bronze shinning gold box…Classy isn’t it ??
It comes in a dispenser tube form & so you don’t have to worry about it spilling everywhere in your bag or vanity box.
PRICE
50 ml for Rs.1,099 (It is available on Shop CJ – Asia’s no.1 Home shopping channel or You can order it online too @ $23.50)
RATING
So on the rate-o-meter, I would rate this BB Brigade (Wow, I just invented a nice word, pat on my back!!) around 7.5 out of 10.
Order it NOW & I’m sure you’ll love it!!
