Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus BB Cream Review

Hello after longer break! I needed Christmas Holiday to catch my breath and find some time to write reviews. Fortunately there was no break from testing products, however after writing break I forgot some things I was meant to write =.=

Today I am going to review very popular BB Cream, considered to be classic.

Product description: Our lightweight BB Cream readily absorbs to skin, hydrating to reveal a healthy looking, fresh and natural looking hint of color. With added sunscreen, the formula protects form the sun's UV rays SPF25/PA++, while promoting whitening, wrinkle care and sebum control effects.

Full size product is a cylinder shaped bottle with pump containing 40g of product. There is also a travel version available, 15g, also with pump. I was testing out 2g sample which lasted for three applications.

When I opened sample colour of the product seemed to be very greyish, however after application it seemed to match well my complexion. This product has only one shade, different shades are in different coloured bottles and have slighttly different features. The consistency is fine, not too rare and not too thick. It creates smudges during application, but I was applying with my fingers and a few pats sorted it out. Hot Pink offers quite good cover (covers blackheads and evens skin tone), but still looks natural. As a classic BB cream it gives skin quite sharp glow effect - it looks nice and fresh around eyes, although I wouldn't leave the house without some mattyfier on my nose ;) Product has pleasant scent, a bit soapy, but in a nice way, fresh. I surprised my nicely with sebum control - my oily skin stayed fresh for 4 hours. My skin is a bit dried out recently, so I think I owe that sebum control to the moisturising properties of this BB Cream.

Price: from £7 on e-Bay (for 40g version).

Pros:
+ covers imperfections and still looks natural
+ moisturises
+ looks good on skin all day long
+ controls sebum

Cons:
- a lot of fakes in the market...

Overall this is quite decent BB Cream, however I won't buy a full size version. Because of it's popularity there is a lot of fakes in the market - you can find a lot of advices across the Internet, how to tell if it's genuine product, but a lot of bloggers warn that fakes are looking more and more genuine now. To be perfectly honest I can't even guarantee my sample was genuine 0o
