Hanskin Super Magic BB Cream
i've tried to love this BB cream but unfortunately, i dont think it works for me :(
coverage is so-so but i find that the finish is not as nice as skinfood's aloe bb cream. skinfood gives a much more polished look while this needs alot of work and does not even achieve a close enough effect! it spreads alot easier than skinfood though, so i dont feel like i am pulling and tugging my skin too much.
but oil control for this sucks! i do not usually blot or touch up and just make do with the shine but this is terrible! by lunch, my entire face (usually it's just the nose but even my cheeks shine by 3pm if i apply this in the morning) is super shiny and i am forced to blot. i cannot use this whenever i have night meetings!
i did see before and after pictures of a blogger using this and her pores improved dramatically but after using this for awhile (and 2 weeks straight in italy), i dont really see an improvement in my skin. in fact, while using it on holidays i got tanned (i know i know.. should have used a much higher SPF factor sunblock in addition to the bb cream but i didnt know it wouldnt be so sunny!) and my skin condition seemed to have worsen (this might be of course due to other factors such as not masking, travelling, weather changes, etc etc but the bb cream didnt help! :( )
i dont think the bb cream is worth the effort and am not gonna bother anymore! still have a full sized tube & sample tube left!
