I have read many good reviews regarding this product. And as many of us are, I 'm also on the oilier side of the planet. So, I decided to check this out for myself.
It says on threads that this is a very good BB cream especially for oily types. So, after double cleansing, I applied it on my face having a mild coverage as a make-up base. I personally think that the shade I got wasn't the correct tome for me since my skin appeared to be darker after a while since it has oxidized.
I should have gone with No. 1 (lighter shade) since it tends to become darker over time, it'll be blending with my color. I don't think this matches my skin type because it gets oily after 4-5 hours on my face even if I set it up with loose powder and a pact.
I'm thinking of buying the Mushroom BB cream in shade 1 after this. For now, have to put up with it..

I give it a 3.5 out of 5 for its oil control and 4 out of 5 for its smooth finish.

i've only tried the gingko green version of this bb cream (no spf). i have to say, it's quite thick to put on and hard to blend. it also left a greyish cast on my face. so... despite having read a lot of good reviews on bb creams, i'm not impressed with this one...
ReplyDeleteOh, I think the one you're referring to is the Gingko BB Cream from Skinfood which is totally different from this one which is the Aloe BB Cream.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the Gingko though, but this one is really quite good for my oily skin :)
I'm glad you had a good experience with this! I didn't enjoy the Mushroom Multicare I got in shade #2 because it made me look like I was wearing a white mask, haha.
ReplyDeleteHello Liz,
ReplyDeleteYeah I know, Skinfood has a bit of a limitation when it comes to the shades. :) That's why I opted not to go for their BB creams since they tend to have too lite or too dark on me. Can't seem to find my perfect shade :(
