The Skin Shop Magic Bright BB Cream

This is another BB Cream from The Skin Shop, and I have to say, BB Creams are pretty addictive. ;-D This product is such a good pictorial subject, so this post is a bit picture heavy. ^_^

The Skin Shop BB Magic Bright BB Cream with reinforced benefits on Anti-Wrinkle, UV Protecting with SPF 30 PA ++, and Whitening! ^_^

Ingredients: Lemon Extract, Papaya, Angelica Keiskei/Ashitaba, Rice Bran

Description: BB Cream with multi-funtional nutritive benefits for clearer, and brighter skin.

The Skin Shop Magic Bright BB Cream comes in 40g size and solid cylindrical packaging.

Back part has no english instructions but the box has.

Glitzy top and bottom packaging. I *heart* the pump spout. ;-D

Hygienic pump spout with cover.

Me! Plain Jane, and All dolled up! ;-D

This is my 2nd BB Cream from The Skin Shop, the first, which I think is already heaven sent is the Premium BB Cream. I had a great time prettifying with that one, so when I got the Magic Bright, it was  a bittersweet moment for me. I had to give the Premium BB Cream a break, and shift to Magic Bright. At the same time, I had higher expectation of the Magic Bright because it’s a bit priced higher than the Premium. It sells for 24,000 won ($24), the Premium sells for 22,000.

Provides light to medium coverage with sheer finish. Notice how my moles slightly became less prominent.

You don’t really need much. I learned it from my first few tries. Its consistency is almost like a liquid foundation (reminded me of Kanebo), so it’s easier to blend and to spread.

Application Guidelines:
Apply all over face, after morning skin care routine succeeding the moisturizer. Luckily, my face is still enjoying a luxurious escargot diet (^_*) also from The Skin Shop. Seriously, I’m using their Recovery Solution Cream . Option to apply using the fingertips or brush. I pumped just as little product on my hand. Although, you can also do it on a mixing palette or a petri dish, if you want to be particular about it. Remember, that although it needs to cover up blemishes, discolorations, acne marks, etc., the BB Cream needs to blend with your natural skin color 😀

I’m all done with my BB Cream. Photo taken without flash. Notice that it didn’t entirely cover my discolorations.

Photo documentation. It’s a bit shiny and bright without the powder pact. I wouldn’t really mind wearing it by itself if I”ll be staying indoor on an air-conditioned area, or if I’ll be on a country not as sunny as the Philippines. But since with the humidity and temperature, I have to sweat/shine proof my face.

 So what’s to love? A whole lot! ;-D

• Lightweight/Non-greasy, surprisingly, even it appears to be a bit shiny, but I think that’s the main idea of the product to give off a healthy glow. 
• I prefer the consistency, with it almost being liquid, for easier blending, for economical perusal, and better for the skin, the less, the better. 
• The finish, if used together with other fixers like the powder pact or a makeup setting mist, would actually be almost poreless.
• The pump and spout provide more hygienic application. And this pump is actually easier to regulate, so you know how little or hard to press for your desired quantity. 
• It’s lightly scented but would actually be unscented on your face. 
• It has a good lasting and sebum control effect. I don’t really turn the a/c on during the day, and I do a bit of trips outdoor when I drop and pick up my son from school, but it lasted me the whole day, with only minor touch ups needed when I took photos for another post like last time. 
• Superficial, I love the artwork of the packaging, and the added chrome-like finish on the pump (top side) and on the bottom. It’s in line with it’s Magic Bright theme and claim.
• Better SPF offering. 
• Best of all, no breakouts! Yay! ;-D

Me! Taken with flash. Complete makeup and all! ;-D

I was also wearing The Skin Shop Magic Bright BB Cream. Photo taken without flash. ;-D
