e.l.f BB Cream SPF 20
Bought this yet again from the Black Friday 50% Sale in 2013 for US$3 after the discount.
I bought 2 shades, Nude and Buff since I didn't know which shade will fit my skin tone better but turned out both was a little darker than my skin tone but Buff was slightly fairer than Nude.
I only have the packaging of Nude as I have tossed out the packaging of the tube I am currently using before I left Las Vegas in January to minimize luggage space.
Ingredient List
In a no frills plastic packaging, there isn't any other description printed on the tube except for the name of the product.
Buff was just a tad darker but I could still work with it.
Totally appreciate the pump dispenser!
It is a tad darker if you can notice in comparison to the back of my palm.
You can notice the gel-like texture of this BB Cream
Upon blending, it seems to blend into my skin huh?

Other Comments: To be very honest, I wasn't expecting much of this BB Cream especially since I have read some reviews on the site but I just HAD to try it myself just because it is a BB Cream. And for US$3, it was pretty worth trying. Well, it wasn't that bad in my honest opinion. I like the gel-like texture that feels very light weight on the skin. Unlike other BB Creams that is very thick and creamy which tends to sit on your skin, this gel-like texture feels like water that melts into your skin. You get what I mean yes? Coverage is pretty average, not full but medium which helps to cover up minor discolorations and minor flaws. Oil control isn't the best with slightly over 5 hours of wear before traces of oil starts surfacing. I wore this when I was in Vegas and quite liked it for its light weight and medium coverage. I was using a powder (the nature republic snail therapy skin pact) that does not have good oil control when I was in Vegas and the BB Cream held up pretty well but since it was extremely dry in Vegas, I had to try it in Singapore before I conclude my thoughts about the product. As it contains aloe and cucumber, it is a very hydrating product so my skin really liked it when I was in the desert. I didn't think I will like the product but ironically, I did! I am probably half way through this tube and my next trip to the United States, I am so gonna get another tube, a shade lighter though.
As for now, I am still deciding if I should sell the tube in Nude away or conduct a give away?
