Porduct description: This light and fluffy choux cream-like makeup base creates baby choux skin with its moist inside and soft smoothness on the outside. It works as a make up base + primer, fixing skin tone. Dandelion extract and cotton extract cares for your skin. SPF25 PA++.
The product used to be in a well known jar packaging with spatula - now it's a tube. Size stayed the same, 35g.
The Baby Choux Base is available in three colours:
#1 Mint Choux - to correct red skin tones.
#2 Berry Choux - for pale skin tone , to give it more life.
#3 Peach Choux - to brighten up dark skin tone.
The texture of the product is really nice, smooth and fluffy, just like in description ;) it has sweet, but very subttle smell. Aapplication is smooth and easy, it blends realy nicely into skin. Becouse it's a tinted base, there are two ways of using this product: you can use it as a make up base, or on it's own. I was actually very surprised how good my face looked with only base on. I have very uneven skin tone, my temples, neck and ears area are very bright, almost white, my cheeks are rather pink with some dark and a bit purplish spots (old acne scares) and my eyes area is shady (it's genetic, got it after my dad and it's not influent by the amount of sleep I get). This pink base managed to even out my skin tone, nicely covered all the purplishness (the spots were still visible, but much less). I tested it out with three BB creams:
- Etude House Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB - together products lasted on my face all day long :)
- Tony Moly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB - lasted all day long as well, after 8h shift at work and then fitness class, my face was still nicely covered, not cakey, just needed a bit blotting.
- Lioele Dollish Veil Vita Natural Green BB - it was a pore cover dream team!
Price: from £6 on e-Bay.
Pros:
+ leaves skin silky smooth in touch
+ a little goes a long way - sample leasted me easily for three applications
+ makes make up last longer
+ evens out skin tone good enough, to be used on it's own
Cons:
- it makes any dry patches and irregularities in skin texture more visible
Generally I don't like having much on my face, mostly because I got oily skin and I am afraid that each extra layer of cream/make up will make it even more oily, so I was never using any primer before. I thought I don't need it at all. This product convinced me, that base can actually help me out, by making make up last longer and covering my spots. I am thinking about getting full size of this product and since I am convinced that it's good to have a primer on, I can't wait to test some other brands as well :) If you haven't try this product yest, get yourself some samples, it's worth it! :)

yes, I seen your review as well :) it definetly does something weird to skin texture, making it smooth but with dry patches sticking out at the same time lol. It's funny, coz if I was to chooe colour I would go for green one, but actually there is quite a lot not-so-good reviews about the green one! Maybe other colour would work better for you :)
