The full size product is a 60g tube with pump applicator, I was testing out only samples. This BB is available in four shades: N02 Light Beige, W13 Natural Beige, W24 Honey Beige and W15 Sand Beige. My samples were in Natural Beige. It has SPF30 PA++.
Precious Mineral is quite runny, so I applied it with fundation brush (often I just like using my fingers :P), using similar amount as on the pic - because it's quite runny I ended up using a bit more than with thicker BBs. One sample lasted for two applications. Product has very subtle smell, hardly noticable. The coverage is nice - made my skin looking even and refreshed, but natural at the same time. Some of my acne scars were still visible (I learnt to live with that long time ago...), but all the redness was toned. The glow effect is just perfect - giving the face healthy glow, but not too shiny. I followed it with mattifying powder only on my nose. Sebum on my oily skin started to show up after approx. 3h, which is my standart time. BUT! After a little touch up with blotting tissue, the BB seemed to be completly untouched on skin. It didn't get cakey, didn't roll up in my wrinkles. Skin was still smooth and even. When I am writing this review is over 12h since I have it on, and all it needs is another touch up with blotting tissue and I could go out again - which is absolutely amazing, usually after the whole day at work I would have to completly redo my make up to go out in the evening.
Price: approx. £9 on e-Bay.
Pros:
+ beautifully evens out skin
+ looks natural
+ doesn't roll up in wrinkles
+ looks good all day long
Cons:
- a bit runny, so I have to use a little bit more than some thicker BBs.
Summing up, this BB was a very nice surprise. I was a bit anxious on the begining, because of it's runny consistency - usually runny BB's tend to just disapear from my face after few hours. However it stayed on my face looking just fab for the whole day, needing just some blotting. Awesome! I definetely add it to my "need to buy full size one day" list :)
