Review: SkinFood Aloe Vera BB Cream

Hello, lovelies!

As the heat goes on strong (and I'm melting here) I decided to post this review... :) 

I have tried all three of the Skinfood BB creams and I must say I love the Mushroom one the most. 

Here is the SkinFood Mushroom BB review, if you need to refresh your memory :D!

Anyway, I got this BB cream from my first swap (and so far last one), and I was really happy about it!

I have the #2 because it has a pink undertone to it. 

I read great stuff about its oil control, so I heard it's really appropriate for combination skin.

But let's move onto my experience with it.

Off/On BB cream on hand

Coverage:  Sheer
Texture: Really creamy, a bit thicker.
Shade:  #2 (lighter with pink undertones)
Fragrance: Some gentle semi-fresh smell.
Oil-Control:  Medium.
Dewy or Matte (finish): Dewy

I must  say that the coverage is well... poor. Sheer to say. But that's OK during summer when I need a lighter thing on my skin. It also has SPF 20 which is always a plus.

It spreads easily, even if the texture is a bit thicker than your average cream, but yet very creamy. The fragrance is also very nice. 

Comparison

As you can see, I have uneven skin tone, larger pores and here and there some problematic areas (acne).

It worked nicely with my combination skin (during summer it's more oily than during winter), and I had to re-blot only once in 6 hours.

But sadly it doesn't survive sweating. Not at all! I put it on, went out for a couple of hours (like 2) and when I got back I had no more make up on! It's terrible. 

I was hoping that a BB cream aimed for the Asian marked would have survived humid weather.

Pros:

+The tube is really hygienic

+Pleasant scent

+Nice design

+Creamy texture

+Easy to apply

+Little goes a long way.

Cons:

-Doesn't survive hot and humid weather (summer here)

-Doesn't stay on all day long.

-Is very sheer.

-Has only SPF 20.

-Oil control isn't THAT good.

Price: 4/5 ♥♥♥♥ (11$)

Rating: 3/5 ♥♥♥

Overall:

Well, I do like it, but I guess it'll be more useful during Fall or Winter. :)

But after all, it's a good BB cream, especially for those who want just a hint of foundation on their skin and a dewy look. I don't really go for the dewy look during summer, so I always finish my MU with setting powder.
