Review: Sooper Beaute Tinte BB Cream Velvety Finish in Medium

Hey Loves!

Welcome back to my blog!

So today will be about my review about the Sooper Beaute Tinte BB cream in the shade Medium. I actually bought this on sale last month in their SM Manila store during their 70% off sale.

I have actually used this already once during the Holidays and I can say that I liked it. :)

Price: Php 75.00 (sale price)/ Php 250.00 (Original Price)

Net Wt. 10grams

Its Claims:

- Velvety Finish

- With watermelon extract

- With SPF 20

Ingredients: (can be found at the back of the packaging)

Deionized Aqua, Dimeticone and PEG-18, Arachudyl Behenate, Laureth-7, Phenyltrimeticone, Tridectyl isononanaete, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, Red Iron Oxide, Yellow Iron Oxide, Black Iron Oxide, Cyclopentasiloxane, Phenoxyethanol, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Glycerin & Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Arbutin, Hyaluronic Acid

So once you put the product in your hand, this is how it looks like. If you notice, it does have a thick consistency and not watery at all. I also have noticed that there are some tiny beads in it once you put the product on your face. 

Upon application, I learned that using a damp beauty blender sponge is not advisable as it actually cakes on your face once you use that. It is better to use a brush or a dry sponge so that there will be smooth application and you can avoid the caking of the product on your face. I have also noticed that it sets and dries on your face pretty fast so you really have to be fast as well in applying this all over your face.

This is how it looks like when I applied only one layer of the product. I didn't use any primers this time. If you notice it does have medium-full coverage as in one layer of the product only, it was already able to cover the visible veins on my cheeks.

And this is how it looks like once I put the rest of my makeup on and applied a setting powder:

It's actually very lightweight on the skin like you are not wearing any BB Creams or foundation. I then tested its longevity. After a little more than 4 hours of not blotting or retouching, this is how my face looked like:

If you notice, my face already started to oil up and my veins in my cheeks also started to get visible again and as well as my pores on my nose. 

What I like:

- It doesn't contain PropylParaben and MethylParaben

- Good for short errands as its lasting power is about 3-4 hours without any primer.

- Like I said, I already used this before prior to me making this review and Ican say it lasts longer with a mattifying primer.

- Cute Packaging

- Packaging contains the Batch No. and Expiry Date

- Contains organic ingredients

- For an organic makeup product, this is affordable.

- Has medium- heavy coverage for a BB Cream

- Has thick consistency

- Is very lightweight on the skin.

What I don't like:

- Using a damp / wet sponge is not advisable as it will just cake all over your face. Better use a brush or a dry sponge for smooth application.

- Not available in stores nationwide. Only available in their stores in selected malls but available online as well (IG: @sooperbeaute)

- Lasting power is only 3-4 hours without primer and 4-6 hours with primer.

- They only have 2 shades for this product: Medium and Fair

REPURCHASE: YES

Like I said, I like the product since aside from the fact that it is organic, for a BB Cream, it offers heavy-medium coverage at only the first layer of application. Something, you may not expect from a BB Cream. 

They also have other products available which you can check online (IG: @sooperbeaute).

So there you have it. I hope I was able to give you info if you are looking for an organic BB Cream, this will be a good product for you. Note though that we have different skin types, so this may have a different effect and longevity for you compared to my experience.

Review: Essence PureSkin All-in-One BB Cream Formulated For Asian Skin

Hey Loves!

So today will be about one of my favorite drugstore brands which is the Essence PureSkin BB Cream. I got mine in the shade 10-Light. Actually the purchase of this was unplanned since when I went to SM Bicutan a couple of weeks ago, SM had their 3-day sale and this was part of it. I got this because it only cost Php100.00! Also, the available shade they have for this product really fit me well, I mean it was the right shade for me, so of course, without any hesitations, I purchased this one and put this instantly in my shopping basket. Haha!

Price: Php 100.00 (on sale)/ Original Price: Php 319.00

Net Wt. 1.0 FL.oz/ 30mL

Its Claims:

- Has SPF 30 PA +++

- Formulated for Asian Skin

- Flawless Clear Skin

- Intensive moisture

- UVA/ UVB Protection

- Essence All-in-One BB Cream acts as a moisturizer, make-up base or foundation. Its oil-free formulation covers imperfections and provides a flawless clear skin without clogging pores. Contains moisturizing agents to smoothen skin.

- SPF30/PA+++ protection prevents skin darkening.

Ingredients:

Anyway, on with the review. Actually, this is not the first time that I have used this product since I purchased this. If you have been following me on Instagram, I posted a selfie there 3 weeks ago where I used this BB Cream when I had dinner and coffee with friends. Here is a screenshot of my Instagram post:

(Note: Please take note that I just took this screenshot just now as I am writing this post which is in real time that I will be posting this here in my blog. I don't schedule blog posts in advance. I actually write them on the spot and post it immediately afterwards real time.)

Honestly, I prefer using this more compared to my Maybelline ClearSmooth BB Cream. I feel that the longevity of this is better especially when primer is applied prior to application of the product.

Okay, so today, I applied this product for this blog today at exactly 2:22pm MNL time. I was at home all day but was busy with a lot of chores; (took care of my fiance in helping him prepare to go to work, cleaned my room, did my laundry, washed the dishes, helped my Mom to prepare dinner and cleaned the table afterwards) So imagine that though I was just at home, I did perspire and was out and about the whole afternoon and evening. 

The product actually comes in a plastic tube and it has a spout so you can control the amount of product you will be using. 

Once you apply the product at the back of your hand, this is how it looks like:

If you notice, it has quite a thick consistency and has a yellow undertone which I really like. 

This is how it looked when I applied this product this afternoon at 2:22pm MNL time. Note though that I didn't apply any primers but just my Celeteque Facial Moisturizer after washing my face with my Celeteque Exfoliating Facial wash prior to application.

This is how it looked like when I just put one layer of the product:

If you notice, I haven't applied any makeup on yet and observe that it gives a dewy finish though the visible veins on my cheeks are still a little visible. Also, you can notice that I have a pimple beside my brow. It wasn't able to conceal the pimple itself but it was able to at least conceal the redness of it which works for me already.

My habit in applying face products are applying 2 layers of the product to on my face to make sure that I get medium- heavy coverage.

So this is how it then looked like when I applied the 2nd layer of the BB Cream on my face plus I also did my brows, put on my liquid eyeliner at the upper part of my eyes. and some nude lipstick.

If you notice, it does give out a dewy finish, but of course, I prefer a matte finish. So this is how it looked like after I applied blush- I used my LOL Blush Duo and my Nichido Final Powder in So Natural.

So there it is, though it isn't fully matte, I observed that with setting powder, the BB Cream was able to give out a glowing effect on my face.

After applying this, I was out and about with taking care and helping my Fiance get ready for work. I only retouched one time with the Nichido Final Powder after 3 hours which was exactly 5:47pm MNL time since what I do is that I make sure to accompany my Fiance outside the village and subdivision where he rides and commutes going to work.

Afterwards, I was busy with my chores: Fixed my room, I did our laundry, washed dishes, helped my Mom prepare dinner and cleaned the table after dinner. And the whole time I was doing this, I had my makeup on for the sake of this blog post. LOL. No worries though since I enjoyed doing my chores knowing that somehow I was made up. LOL.

I checked back at exactly 8:33pm MNL time and this is now how it looked like:

If you will notice, my face is still not that oily though my T-zone and my cheeks are already a bit shiny, but not to the extent that I already looked haggard after all the chores I did. Also, the veins in my cheeks aren't that visible yet. I only retouched once with my Nichido Final Powder, which was about 3 hours after application. It is actually a personal habit of mine to apply loose powder when going out of the house especially when I accompany my Fiance outside our subdivision or if I just have to go out of our village to buy something since I feel that if I don't have at least any loose powder and a tinted lip balm on, I feel that I look so pale. Note that these 2 photos taken at 8:33pm MNL time are the result after 6 hours from time of application.

What I like:

- It gives medium- heavy coverage depending on how much product you apply.

- It has a yellow undertone to it.

- Longevity is very good even without primer, but I can say that longevity is far better with a mattifying primer on.

- Affordable. Technically, it was really affordable for me when I purchased it since it was on sale and I only got this for only Php100.00 and the shade available that time was the right shade for me. 

- Accessible: Available in all Essence counters in SM Department Stores- beauty section, Watsons and in other malls and department stores where there is an Essence Cosmetics Counter.

- It has SPF 30+++ which I think is very good for a BB Cream since some BB Creams contains lower SPF.

- Gives light- medium coverage which works well for me.

- There is no sticky feeling on the face.

- Very lightweight, feels like you don't have any BB cream/ foundation on.

- Though it wasn't able to fully conceal my pimple, it was able to conceal the redness which personally works for me. 

- It gives a glowing effect on the skin which makes your face look healthier.

- True to its claims, it does moisturize the skin not making it look dry and cakey even after you set it with a final powder.

What I don't like:

- Since this was only on sale when I purchased this, they only have limited shades available and during that time that I purchased this, they only 2 shades available: this one which was the lightest shade they have and the darkest shade which is a shade for morena skin as per the saleslady. 

Overall, I like this BB Cream a lot! Like I mentioned earlier, I prefer using this more than my Maybelline ClearSmooth BB Cream and recently, I have been using this a lot more than my all time favorite Shawill BB Cream. Haha!

REPURCHASE: YES!!

Like I said, I got it on sale firsthand, and at the same time, I have been loving the results that this BB Cream is giving me whenever I use it. :)

Note though that we have different skin types, I have given my review on this product based on my personal experience and how it worked for me and there is of course the possibility that this may not work on others as well as it worked for me or this may even work better on others than it worked for me. It all depends of course on our skin types.

Anyway, I hope you found this useful. Just to let you all know, what I also like about Essence Cosmetics is that aside from the fact that their products are great, they are always on sale. So imagine having to buy this drugstore product on its original price, they have a great selection of products and they are also always have products on sale. :)

If you have used this already, feel free to comment down below your own experience and if there are other BB Creams and foundation or any makeup products which are drugstore that you may want me to review or that you can recommend since I am always on the hunt for affordable but with very good quality. :) Also feel free to follow me here in BlogSpot, and in BlogLovin.com to be updated with my future posts. :) You can also follow me in Instagram: @Yhang_Chua since I also always keep my IG account updated with my new blog posts. :)
