Hello lovelies! I find this day a little tiring. I woke up very late today because I'm not feeling too well and lack of sleep makes me more grumpy. I also had a prepare my talking points for an event tomorrow that STI organized so I'm getting more tensed than usual. Imagine talking to a crowd of 3000 students!? Anyway, enough of my ramblings. Today, I have here a review of HBC Hortaleza MD BB Cream which I got last month as part of my HBC Haul. I have been using this for 3 weeks or so already so I guess it's high time I give my thoughts about the product. :)
Product Name: SanSan Hortaleza MD BB Cream
Price: 149.75php |
Available at: HBC Stores Nationwide
What I love about it:
- The packaging of the product looks very nice and neat. The light blue color is very refreshing.
- The BB cream is thick and creamy which is a huge advantage for me. It’s very spreadable as well. Since it has a thick consistency, it provides full coverage for the face and conceals minor flaws such as scars and discoloration. Your face might seem dewy after application which can be good but I prefer settling it in with powder.
- It has a very mild scent which is pleasing for me. I don’t mind scented creams as long as I like the scent.
- I have been using this cream ever since I got it from HBC Zamboanga and so far, I didn't break out which is a really good thing because my skin is super sensitive.
- This brand of BB cream is very affordable compared to other brands. A little goes a long way for this BB cream and it lasts the whole day too! :)
What needs improvement:
- It would be nice if this BB cream came in different shades. This one tends to be darker for those who are fair skinned. I use this product sparingly so that my skin doesn't look a shade darker. Sometimes I mix it with my other foundie/BB creams to get my desired shade.
- The dispenser for this product is a pump which makes it a little inconvenient for me because it's hard to control the amount of cream that goes out from the pump. So I suggest you press lightly each time you want to use it.
It is not a coincidence that I listed more pros than cons because honestly I love this product. Compared to other BB creams I already tried, the coverage of this product is awesome :D Aside from the fact that it’s very affordable, it is also available here in Zamboanga so when I run out of it, I can just go to HBC store and replenish. What about you guys? Have you tried this product already? What are your thoughts?
