Hey Loves!
Today will be about my review for the Careline BB Cream in Nude. When I was buying this, I was supposed to the the Natural Shade, which is their second to the lightest shade. However, upon swatching this at the back of my hand, it was a little bit too dark for me so I settled for their lightest shade which is the Nude shade. I am a little bit fair skinned so usually the shade that suites me when I buy skin or makeup products is either the second to the lightest shade or sometimes the lightest shade itself.
Anyway, I bought this in the SM Department Store- Beauty section for only Php 120.00. I was actually looking for the one with the new packaging, however, upon checking, the saleslady told me that the one with the new packaging is available in the SM Supermarket and this is the one which they have in the one that they have in the department store. The saleslady said that though they have the BB Cream in the new packaging, this is different since this is the one with the Whitening Element. So anyway, since it was really affordable and I have always been in the hunt for affordable BB Creams and foundations, I went ahead and purchased this.

The product comes in a squeeze tube. What I like about this is that the tube opening is quite smaller, compared the the Shawill BB Cream, therefore it is much easier to control the amount of product that will be coming out of it avoiding wastage of the product:
So the next morning, I went ahead and gave this product a road test to see if I will really like this product and will suit my needs. Here is how the product looks like when I put a considerable amount at the back of my hand before application:
If you will notice, it seems to still be a bit darker but once you blend it, it then lightens. The product is blendable, therefore is a good thing for me.
In the photo below, all I've got on is moisturizer and I didn't put on primer since I really wanted to test the longevity of this BB cream; upon checking, this is how it looks like:
If you will notice, it does have light coverage. It did make my face look really smooth but it wasn't able to completely cover the pimple I have on my right cheek. Also, it wasn't able to fully cover the visible veins I have on my cheeks.
It actually took 3 coats of the BB cream to be able to finally cover the visible veins in my cheeks:
Okay, so after 3 coats of this BB cream, I then went ahead to set it with powder. I used my Nichido Translucent Powder in True Natural.
If you will notice, it still wasn't able to conceal the pimple at the side of my nose but what I liked about it is that at least it was able to conceal the redness of it.
I then tested its longevity. I didn't put any other makeup on since I wanted to test the longevity of this product alone. In my opinion, there is that possibility though that this may last a bit longer if primer was applied. After almost 4.5 hours, without any blotting or retouching with powder, this is how it looks like:
If you notice on the photos above, my veins on my cheeks are already visible again and my pimple's redness is also becoming visible.
(Note: If you check the wall clock at my upper left in the photo above, you can see it is past 9:30am MNL time. I applied the product on my face at exactly 05:23am MNL time of the same day.)
What I like:
- Very affordable, only Php 120.00 for 25ML of the product.
- Accessible: available in department stores and grocery stores nationwide
- Has light to medium coverage. Depends if you're willing to put 3 coats of the product though it is very lightweight and not sticky on the skin.
- Product is very blendable.
- It doesn't feel sticky on face.
What I don't like:
- I had to put 3 coats to be able to cover my visible veins on my cheeks.
- Not advisable if you are looking for medium to heavy coverage.
- After 3 hours of no retouching, since I have combination skin, my T-zone started to oil up already and my veins started to be visible on my cheeks again and as well as the redness of my pimple.
- You have to blot and retouch every now and then.
- With 3 coats of the product, after 4.5 hours of having the product on my face, like the photos posted above, it seemed and felt like the BB cream isn't there anymore.
Repurchase: No.
For me, this is only applicable to be used when you are just going out for about 2-3 hours, and honestly, I didn't like it that I had to put 3 coats of the BB cream to be able to hide my visible veins. As much as at least it was able to hide them, having the idea of putting that much product on my face is not appealing to me. I feel like I am already really suffocating my skin with that much product applied to my face. Since I have the whole tube though, I may still use it if I'm running errands wherein I am just gonna go out for about 2-3 hours max like going to hear mass or going to a short meeting with our church youth organization. :)
I know that this may not be the usual positive feedback for a product review especially for a very popular product like this. Please be informed though that I am just giving my honest opinions and feedback based on my experience with this product upon reviewing it. We all have different skin types, so there is a possibility that this may have not worked for me but may work for others.
