REVIEW: Maybelline Clear Smooth 8-in-1 BB Cream..:)

All About JC Jants


Holla Dreamers ..:)

It's been so long since I last blog. I've been super busy in school lately and I don't have the time to blog. I will do all my best to blog every other day since I also enroll for summer class.

I'm not going to do a Fashion Blog today but instead I'm going to do a BB Cream Review..:) This BB Cream is my all time favorite BB Cream ever and it is the Maybelline Clear Smooth 8-in-1 BB Cream..:)


 BB Cream stands for Balm Blemish. I was very fascinated and confuse about why Koreans have a very good skin. So I ask my Korean friend if what is their secret, then she introduce to me the BB Cream ( BB cream before is not popular yet). Then I ask her, what the hell is a BB Cream since I never heard of BB Cream before. Then she told me that, it is a all in one cream it has Foundation, Concealer, Moisturizer. And I was super amazed so I plan to buy a BB Cream which is not available yet here our place. So I have to do research and I found out that Etude House ( Korean Brand) has a BB Cream so immediately order one, and it is amazing.

Today BB Cream is super duper popular, like all Cosmetic Brands have their own version of BB Cream. And so now, I've been loving this Maybelline BB Cream.

 Things you need to know about Maybelline BB Cream: (This BB Cream claims to be)

              - it brightens, evens, smoothes, refines, clears, conceals, moisturizes and protects skin
              - it has SPF 26
              - it has 2 shades: Natural and Fresh
              - covers imperfections
              - all day hydration
              - helps protect skin from UV Rays


So let's get started:

        
                                      
            This is the Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Cream. The packaging of this BB Cream is a tube. It is small compare to other BB Cream Brands. As you can see, the product is all over the opening of the tube, which is a mess. GRRR!









First, Clean your face with Eskinol. Before doing your make up, make sure to clean your face first so you can make sure that your face doesn't have excess oil and dirt. For washing your face with your facial soap doesn't remove all the dirt in your face. I think 30% of dirt was remove when your just washing your face with soap or facial soap. Eskinol do the job well, it remove excess dirt in your face and oil. 




 So, this is my face after cleaning my face with Eskinol. As you can see, I have a bit of discoloration in my face. Bad dark circles.










Next thing I do is I place the product in the back of my hands. So it will be easy for me to apply the BB Cream in my face.












            Next apply the product all over your face. This is how I apply BB Cream in my face for it is easy and it blends well.

















  Start blending your BB Cream. I'm using my ELF Powder Brush to blend the product. I like to use brush to blend my BB Cream or Foundation for it gives you a flawless finish. I don't like to use sponge in blending my foundation or BB Cream for it absorb your product, so you end up using less of your product on your face.







   Don't forget to blend your BB Cream in your neck. If necessary you can add BB cream to your neck so that your face and neck match. You don't like your face to look white/dark and your neck is the opposite. But if you prefer looking like "ewan" then don't follow this step. JUST KIDDING! :) This step is a must.:)









       This is my first layer of BB Cream. My Face looks good now. The discoloration of my face is now fix. I have clear complexion, which I love it.





     
                       .









Apply second layer if you like. So start blending the product again. I don't really add second layer but for Blog purposes and for you guys to see if it is blend-able or not. Some products in my case, if I put second layer it looks cake-y in my face.











 So this is the final look. I love it. :)












LIKES:

- It gives my skin glowing effect.
- I have dry skin and this product really moisturize my skin.
- For the coverage of this product it is a medium-light coverage.
- It has a dewy finish which i love.
- it covers my dark circles well, so it helps me to wear less concealer
- it is not sticky
- the odor is okay, not so strong
- the price is 250 pesos (super affordable)
- easy to blend

Dislikes:

- It doesn't last all day, you need to re touch approximately every 3hours ( that's just a estimated time),
- It is shiny, your T area looks shiny so you must put Loose Powder at that area.
- The packaging is not good (for me), the product just scatter everywhere which looks messy.
it is too water-y, it literally drip off which is a BIG NO NO for me.




CONCLUSION:

To sum it up. I love this product so much. It soothes me well. As the product claims it is 90% true. Affordable and the quality is at its best. I recommend this product. Good for students and also adults who is on tight budget. Thumbs up..:) EXCELLENT job as always Maybelline. :)


Bye for now Dreamers. See you tomorrow. :) PEACE out
