Was just not familiar with any BB creams before, but I am already using the Smashbox CC cream. I love the my Smashbox CC cream and wasn’t expecting much when Ponds launched their BB cream, since it’s marketed in their fairness line and I personally do not advocate fairness products. I bought this just to try. I got the the regular size with a help of a $3 coupon kindly offered by Ponds. Read on to know how I like it!
The tube is a sturdy white tube with a pink label and a silver cap. It’s attractive and also very convenient to use. The nozzle dispenses the cream very nicely and there are no chances of wastage.
IThe cream is thick, even thicker than Smashbox CC cream. But it blends in decently except on extremely dry areas. I feel it emphasizes dry patches on skin. I have mostly combination-oily skin at summer time but sometimes I do have a little dryness on my cheeks which needs to be moisturized properly before applying this cream.
I found two shades available light and medium.I have debated quite a while what shade to choose and I have chosen the medium one. My decision was made based on the fact that I have way more freckles summer time and my skin looks a bit darker due too this fact. It is blending in properly and with a little powder on top it looks perfect. The cream overall gives a bright look and a nice glow to my face. *happy happy me*
Another good thing about this BB cream for me is its coverage. On regular days, I don’t use concealer and with this cream, 80% of my dark circles are covered and the eye contour area looks radiant. On my face, I don’t need a lot of coverage (for blemishes etc) other than around the eyes and this cream does the job of evening out my skin tone very well.
Although the cream is thick, it doesn’t feel heavy on skin. It feels heavier than my Smashbox CC cream. And with its texture, it makes skin feel very smooth.
I think it’s perfect for normal skinned girls. Because it’s neither moisturizing nor mattifying. On me, it looks natural in the beginning.
It stays on my face for 5-6 hours but my face gets shiny if don’t powder it. This is not an ideal product for oily skinned girls but I like using it for the nice coverage and natural finish.
Overall, it’s a really good BB cream. It is packaged well, comes at an affordable price. It gives a very natural finish and gives good coverage. It’s not so great for oily skin but what are powders for?
To buy or not to buy?
Yes! It’s worth a try!
