Holika Holika Aqua Petit BB cream

Holika Holika Aqua Petit BB cream
Hey guys
I've been using this BB cream for the past month and its coming very close to my Fav L'egere BB cream.

Packaging is definitely very cute and sturdy. The lid is mint green and it comes with a spatula to scoop the product out. The bottle is a very thick glass casing and is definitely very heavy duty. There is a large sponge that comes with the product, that can apply the product very well.

 Product it self is Jelly like in consistency (wiggles in tub) and feel very hydrating when applied.

It gives a light ~medium coverage, with a matte finish. Most of the times I don't need a setting powder because I love the finish it self and it has great oil control.

Like most BB creams it does contain SPF, so not great in flash photography.

From the oil test, there seem to be a little oil content in the product but most of it is water because after 1 hr the product looks very dehydrated and there is some water content in the oil absorbed (shown as darker than oil).

Pros: 
  • very hydrating
  • matte finish
  • great oil control
  • good color match
  • light weight
Cons:
  • Can accentuate pores if not blended with sponge 
  • Hard to blend with fingers, really need a dense blending brush.
  • Packaging can be a little unhygienic and bulky
As mention I like to blend this product out with a dense brush such as Sigma F84 or F82, however on areas with pore problems is best to blend with a sponge.
Over all I really love this product and would recommend this to those with all skin types because its very hydrating, yet very good oil control. 

Until next time, Stay beautiful!
Love Nancy.

L'egere White Multi BB cream Review

L'egere White Multi BB cream
So in the last few post I've been bagging many BB cream, and it might left you wondering which is my fav. Well here it is, I love the L'egere White Multi BB cream.

This BB cream look dark when its out of the tube.

 But when blended it turns fair. It feel very moisturizing on the face and also light.

I would say its light coverage, but you can definitely build it up to Medium.

 It does give a white caste in Flash photography.

 And it has a little oil content.

Pros:
  • very moisturizing
  • reasonable oil control
  • can double up as under eye concealer
  • very easy to blend
  • Very easy to apply with fingers (one less brush to clean)
  • can be worn everyday
  • feels light on the skin
  • SPF
  • don't break me out
  • perfect color match to me (around NC20)
  • Convenient squeeze tube packaging
  • Good for irritate/sensitive/breaking out skin
  • Long lasting
Cons:
  • Don't work well in flash photography
  • need blotting after 3 hrs of wear
  • Can't think of anymore cause I think this is the perfect BB cream. 
L'egere White Multi BB cream really blows all other BB creams. I first heard about this BB cream from YouTube and it was said its good for those who are breaking out and who have oily skin. So I wanted to give this a try cause I have combo skin type with a very oily T-zone, the price was also reasonable I believed I paid around 30 AUD. 
I love this BB cream soo much I used it for 3 mths straight religiously. I will only wear other coverage products if they are new and I need to form a opinion. 

However there is a BB cream that also comes close to this, but that's for another post.

Until next time, Bye ^^
