Hi, all!
This BB cream is from my collective Korea haul, but this product is available in Sg too (SGD32.90 @ Wisma Atria). Holika Holika in Korean basically means beauty-holic - repeated twice. I realized HH products have really high SPF levels, which can both be a good and bad thing. And their products are sweet-smelling. If you can't tolerate scented cosmetics, then skip Holika Holika products. I personally love the smell actually!
I'm wearing both the BB cream & the blush cream provided. FYI: BB creams work best with cream blushers as both are of creamy consistency therefore 'stick' on each other longer, and better, without 'sliding' off.
With flash:
No flash:
Pros:
- SPF 37 PA ++ is really high, so you can safely skip your sunblock
- Great coverage for pores & redness on face (sore skin and mild pimples)
- Dries down to a lightweight, smooth dewy finish
- Good lasting power (6-7 hours) with powdering of face
- Comes with a universally flattering peach lip/cheek cream with a mirror too - super pigmented, by the way ;)
- Easy squeeze tube that you won't oversqueeze!
Cons:
- High SPF means its not ideal for flash photography (visible white cast) - noticeable in my pictures above taken with flash. I must say, though, it gets much better after the BB cream oxidizes after an hour or so.
- Moisturizing properties might not be suitable for people with very oily skin
- Sweet scent may put off some people
- Cream cheek/lip colour is too drying to be used on lips, but works perfectly on cheeks!
After a day out (7 hours), touched up with pressed powder twice throughout the day
Overall, I feel this is a good BB cream to have on days which I feel I need the extra lightweight feel. It doesn't make my face feel sweaty - and trust me, I sweat a lot on my face, so that says a lot! That's a reason why I don't like liquid foundations :p I won't say it's a product you should go running in the stores to buy, but if lightweight + dewy are what you're looking for, then you should give this a go :)
