First of all, I would like to apologize for not being able to blog as much as I am supposed to. I've been busy with a lot of stuff for the past few days that when I get home I am just so dead tired to be able to blog. However, I promise to be able to catch up on my blog posts on the upcoming days as I have a list of product reviews just waiting to be posted. :)
Anyway, for today, it will be about the Maybelline ClearSmooth All In One BB Cream. For now, this is basically one of my most favorite BB Creams. I've had this for more than a month now and this is actually included in my October 2015: MakeUp and Skin Care Favorites that you can read here.
Anyway, on with the review. I actually purchased this in the SM Department Store- Beauty Section.
Price: I was able to purchase this for only Php 209.00 because they had a Php 50.00 markdown but I just wasn't sure though if it's also part of their permanent markdown on their products. Original Price is Php 259.00
Net Wt. 18mL
Its Claims:
- With SPF 21 PA++

Okay, so on with the review. Once I applied a generous amount of the product at the back of my hand before application, this is how it looks like:
If you notice, the consistency is actually not that thick, maybe because as per its claims, this is water-based but not to liquid-y too (if there's such a term).
Okay, so I applied this product on my face at exactly 07:23pm MNL time and this is how it looks like. Please note though that I only applied 1 layer of this product on my clean face. I didn't use any primers prior to application. I only applied my Celeteque Facial Moisturizer which is my trusty facial moisturizer which I apply after washing and toning my face especially before I apply makeup.
If you notice, it does give a glowy look on the face and what really impresed me is that for only 1 layer of the product, it was able to cover the most visible veins in my cheeks. However, it really wasn't able to fully conceal the pimple that I have right under my nose but was able to conceal its redness which works for me.
And then this is how it looks like after I set it with a setting/ translucent powder. I used my Nichido Final Powder in So Natural.
I also applied by blush here and I used by Allue Blush Duo in Peach Pie and also my lipstick which is my pink Aido lipstick in the Shade Q, and also my Nichido Liquid Eyeliner in the color Black. If you notice, with the setting powder, it was able to give out a matte finish but what I was impressed is that though the setting powder was able to give out a matte finish, my skin still has that glowing effect and didn't look dull and dry.
So of course, I wanted to see the longevity of this product. I was at home the whole evening when I did this but I was busy doing a lot of stuff by then but didn't perspire that much. Personally, I don't perspire that easily but since I have combination skin: wherein I have normal to oily skin. My T-zone tends to oil up easily.
After more than 3 hours, I already checked how this product is. Please note that this photos I will be showing you was taken at exactly 10:55pm MNL of the same evening. I also didn't blot or retouch with powder this whole time as I wanted to show you guys the longevity of this product.
So after more than 3 hours, the product is still there but you can notice that the veins on my cheeks are already starting to get visible as well as the redness of my pimple and my nose already started to oil up. However, what I still liked is though my face started to oil up, it didn't look messy on my face just like I just stepped out from the outdoor sun. It still has that glowing effect on my skin without making me look like a hot mess.
What I like:
- Very affordable: Php 209.00 (sale price)/ Php 259.00 (original price)
- Accessible: available in all Maybelline counters in malls nationwide
- It comes in a squeeze tube so you can control the product that will be coming out of the tube.
- The packaging is light and small so it can easily fit in your makeup kit.
- Has SPF 21 PA ++
- Though it wasn't able to fully conceal my pimple, I like the fact that for only one layer of the product, it was already able to conceal the visible veins on my cheeks and the redness of my pimple.
- True to its claims, it does give a glowing effect on the face without looking so oily.
- Very lightweight on the face, like you don't have any BB Cream on.
- Very easy to blend on the face.
- Though it claims that it gives out All Day Shine Free result, I am impressed that my T-Zone which is the part of my face that gets oily easily didn't oil up that much than usual.
- The product didn't cake up on my face especially when my T-Zone started to oil up.
What I don't like:
- Though it claims that this gives All Day Shine Free result, my T-Zone already started to oil up after more than 3 hours but wasn't that oily than it usually is.
REPURCHASE: YES.
I have always liked Maybelline products and though this wasn't able to hold true to its claims of all day shine free face, it didn't cake up on my face and is very lightweight.
Please note though that we all have different skin types so this product may have different results for us.
Anyway, I hoped you like this product review. I have a list of product reviews waiting to be posted and I am also excited to be posting about my November 2015 favorites so watch out for that as well. :)
