Review of the Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream
been using the Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF20++ for a week and here's the review:
1) Oil Control is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the Skin Food Gingko Green BB Cream! Its almost comparable, if not, slightly better than Missha M.
2) Though its slightly thicker than the Gingko Green BB Cream but I reckon this is the reason why the coverage is slightly better than Gingko Green too.
3) Blendibility is still rather alright considering the fact that the texture is slightly thicker than Gingko Green.
4) Love its smell!
5) The only drawback is that it does not give a dewy look as compared to the Skin Food Gingko Green BB.
On the whole, (to me) its really comparable to BRTC Perfect Blemish Balm. This is the perfect knock-off if you can't get your hands on the BRTC Perfect Blemish Balm. Oil control is good, coverage is good, texture/blendibility is managable. Put aside the not-getting-the-dewy-look, I super love this and I think I shall get a backup of this. -grins-
Here's the list of ingredients for those who might be interested:
Oh, just in case if you dont know, this Aloe Sun BB Cream costs slightly more than the Gingko Green BB Cream. Gingko Green is retailing for S$31.20 while this Aloe Sun BB Cream retails for S$38.
I can't wait for the launch of the Skin Food Mushroom BB Cream and Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream!

is it okay to use Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF20++ as moisturiser before putting on a face primer + make up? Thu, Apr. 3rd, 2008 07:18 am (UTC)
kimoko
BB cream is a makeup base (primer) + foundation so i wouldn't recommend it as a moisturizer. your face will be too caked up with the additional foundation. ;) Thu, Apr. 3rd, 2008 03:53 pm (UTC)
