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.
Holika Holika Aqua Petit BB cream Oil test
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.
