Skin Food Peach Sake Pore BB Cream

Good afternoon :)
Another Skin Food product included in my "Big BB Cream Test" :)




Product description: A pore-refining BB cream that regulates sebum secretion while creating a flawless and matte complexion without feeling greasy.

Originally product comes in a tube with pump, cap. 30ml. I tested 2ml sample.



This cream is available in two shades: #1 Light Beige and #2 Natural Beige, I went for the lightest one, as always ;) I often have problems with deciding if cream has pink or yellow undertones, but in this case the yellow tones were obvious even for me. Picture dosn't show it so much, but I have to admit that colour freaked me out a bit ;) Fortunatelly it look alright on the skin. It's slightly more matte than average BB Cream, similary to Good Afternoon Peach Green Tea BB. However it is not a full matt, I was using a bit of powder on top of it.

 
The consistency is quite rare - I am used to something thicker, so I was struggling a little with application. Using make up sponge to apply is completly pointless - the sponge absorbs most of the cream, so during one application with sponge I used up almost half of my sample. My fingers didn't do a great job either, so I think for that one brush is the best option. This cream offers very natural look but quite poor coverage - just enough to cover blackheads and some of enlarged pores. Becouse of rare consistency it is hard to layer it in places that need more coverage. I didn't notice any improvements on my pores or sebum production. My face started to shine after approx. 2h, my standart time. Product has very nice peachy smell - on the begining I could also smell some alcohol in it (sake?), however now I don't feel it anymore, so I used to it or maybe it evaporated? The peach notes are nice accent to application and dissapear a moment after.
Cream has a SPF20 PA+.

The price of full size product: from £5 on e-Bay.

Pros:
+ gives natural look
+ slightly matte
+ nice smell
+ cheap

Cons:
- too rare consistency
- poor coverage
- rolls up in wrinkles
- doesn't improve pores or sebum (promised on packaging)

Overall I like the natural look of it, but for my acne damaged skin the coverage is too light. I think it would do fine for people who have less to hide. So far I am not interested in getting a full size version
