Review: Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm

I'm a big fan of the BRTC Blemish Recover Balm but since I'm such a product junkie, I just had to purchase another BB cream just because. I've seen a lot of reviews on this and they're quite mixed. Some say it's too sheer and it has poor coverage, some say they it's their HG product.


I've only used it for a few days so I can't comment on the whitening and anti-wrinkle functions yet. I'll have to come back and do a more detailed review in a month.


Application: I apply this with my fingers. (If I'm outdoor for the day, I use moisturizer with SPF 30 before putting this on. The great thing with this BB cream, it already has SPF in it so even if I don't use sunscreen before hand, I'm ok.) I take about a pea size, dot it on my forehead, cheeks, chin and nose and then very lightly pat it in a circular and upward motion with two fingers to spread it. The cream spreads very smoothly and easily eventhough it might look quite thick when you look at it. It's not as thick as BRTC though but I didn't have a problem with BRTC either.


Coverage: Not great. It doesn't cover up my acne scars and doesn't cover up my freckles. This is so sheer. Other than just evening out my skin tone, it doesn't do much to conceal blemishes. I can still see every single mark on my face. I'm sure if I keep layering it on, the blemishes would be less noticeable but I really don't like layering creams on my face. I normally don't even use foundation and I choose really light moisturizers. I have super oily skin so I try not to put too much on it.


Oil Control: The cream has a more dewy finish than the BRTC but it's not greasy. Just like the BRTC, I don't even have to blot my face during the day and that's pretty amazing. It doesn't dry my face out either, it just keeps it very well balanced through out the day. Oh and no clogged pores!


Color: I think this BB cream matches my skin tone better than the BRTC. It's not as white as the BRTC and it looks more natural. I don't find it ashy or grey, it just matches my skin really well especially after letting it sit for 15 mins.


Will I repurchase? Probably. I'll probably switch back and forth between the BRTC and this till they run out. It's hard to find a product that works well with my skin so I'm probably going to stick with them for a long while.
