[MAKEUP REVIEW] ETUDE HOUSE PRECIOUS MINERAL BB CREAM (SHEER SILKY SKIN)

This is a makeup review on my all time favorite bb cream, Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream in Shade 01 Sheer Silky Skin. If you're a newbie on bb creams I'm going to do a quick little intro on it. BB Creams otherwise called Blemish Balm, Beauty Balm, Blemish Base and/or Beblesh Balm (due to the a copy right of the word blemish at Korea *weird*) is a cosmetic item sold in East and South East Asia, it is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and often sunblock (courtesy of Wikipedia).

So on with the review, my shade is the 01 Sheer Silky Skin which is the lighter shade of the 2 (other shade is the 02 Sheer Glowing Skin). I chose this particular shade not because of the color but on how it applies on my skin. The Sheer Silky Skin gives a bit more matte finish that the Sheer Glowing Skin, my skin is on the oily type that is why I prefer this shade/formula more. The color is a little white on my skin but after awhile it just pretty much blends in. This gives a lot of coverage (I no longer use a foundation during the day) and there is no need to use a concealer to hide those red marks and blemishes. I have a pretty sensitive skin and I'm pretty happy to say that this does not break me out (yay!). This particular bb cream I use on a daily basis and it lasts quite well on my face in this really humid weather. At the end of the day I just need to apply a bit of powder to combat the greasiness that usually appears on my face then I'm good to go. The SPF 30/PA++ is awesome, it's a 2.10oz product which lasted me for months and is just right for the price of P700.00+. I have nothing bad to say about this product as it just works wonders for my face and I just love it. I'm pretty bummed out that this product with this particular formula is not available anymore but I know they came out with a better (they say) version of this bb cream which is the Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream All Day Strong, I hope this will work for me because I just ran out this bb cream and need to purchase a new one. So that is my review on the Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream. I hope you find this helpful in choosing the perfect bb cream for you :)

  1. Thanks a lot for the tip dear. I've always wondered what a BB Cream is but never bothered to search about it. Haha. Would love to try this out some time since I have oily skin as well when the afternoon comes and my skin tends to break out when I use something strong on my face.
