Etude House Sun Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream SPF50+

Hiya everyone! :)

It's been quite busy for  a couple of days now since my first post BUT there's a reason. I've been spending so many days researching online and doing what I  do best, reading. From what I've learned about from many many readers is THE BB Cream. As I kept on reading, I found out that this cream is close to a miracle or lifetime saver and should or ought to be a must-have in every beauty kit.

Being the practical more kuripot person that I am and I know these creams can go for above Php 1000 something, so I bought Etude House Sun Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream SPF50+. Shade No 2 is the one I chose. It might be too light for my skin tone but since I'm acidic, this is the one the MUA advised me to use as it would darken on my skin tone. She was right.

Product description:

 It has coverage, sunscreen and is waterproof at the same time. This cream can be used on an everyday basis instead of pressed powder and foundation.

 

 For me,it works wonders! I do have somewhat oily skin or let's stay safe by saying Combination skin. Usually if I wear a Foundation I have to retouch after a few hours due to shiny areas. When I wear foundation it also feels like there's this heavy stuff on my face. The BB Cream on the other hand feels light on my skin and it does blend well with my skin tone.

Here are some pictures (nevermind the camera phone pictures as I just needed examples anyways. haha)

I can surely agree to the the long lasting effect of this cream as I've used it for 8 hours straight and take note, I also went to the gym and the cream was still on my face as it didn't smudge due to it being waterproof. I still did sweat but the cream stayed put. It felt as if I had another skin.

I know I know, this was a looooong post. But I try to be thorough for you. ;)

Pros:

Light as skin, medium coverage, does not have a cakey feel, has spf so you can wear this during daytime (good for oily skin and humid weather), good as a moisturizer, long lasting effect (skin becomes dewy after a while but in a good way, did not make my skin breakout and last would be that afterwards it made my skin smoother for some reason (does not mention anywhere that it improves your skin, but yay from me then :)

Cons:

You can't really wear this if you're going to take pictures as it gives a cakey appearance. The first picture above shows what it looks like in real life. Did not use the sponge as I think it's better if you use your fingers to apply direct on your skin.

Will I buy another after this one?

Definitely a yes as I use it everyday. :)

Cost: Php 978.
