L’oreal Paris True Match Skin Idealizing BB Cream Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about the L’oreal Paris True Match BB Cream HERE in the contest. And today I am reviewing it..

What the Company claims: Discover your ‘true match’ with the L’Oréal Paris True Match BB Cream L’Oréal Paris launches the 1st BB Cream with 360 skincare. The L’Oréal Paris True Match BB cream provides 360 skin care, which not only works on the outer layer, but also improves the skin’s texture from within.The product is available in 3 gorgeous shades that are best suited for the Indian skin tone. Everyday use of the L’Oréal Paris True Match BB cream will ensure that you have natural-looking, radiant skin and an absolutely flawless complexion.

What makes it special?
The BB cream contains Collagen, Hyaluronic crystals and Adenosine that help to keep the skin hydrated along with providing anti-ageing benefits. They smoothen out the skin texture and provide an even tone and radiant complexion. Vitamin C helps enhance skin’s clarity, reduces dark spots and gives the skin a healthy glow. The product is equipped with SPF 35 PA+++ that protects the skin from UV rays and prevents from any environmental damage.


MRP: Rs.550/- for 30ml


Ingredients:


Shades Available: N1 Ivory, G2 Gold, G1 Honey

I have the G2 Gold which is the medium one and a perfect match for most of us..the other two are extremes..light and dark.


It comes in a nice gold and cream tube packaging with a small nozzle dispensor..

I like the light floral smell..and its quite light in texture and in coverage too..it blends well and absorbs into the skin..and moisturises well.
Blogger is making all pics look weird somehow..no idea why :/

Unblended, Blended

The coverage is good and can be builded up..I usually blend in the extra on my problem areas and I am sorted..also it gives a whitish cast coz of SPF 35..and stays for 4-5 hours..after which needs some touch up on the T-zone.

Pros:

1. Hydrating and moisturising.
2. Light in texture and blends well.
3. SPF 35 PA+++..covers your sunscreen needs.
4. Comes in 3 shades..Neutral would work for most of us.
5. Chic packaging.
6. Gives a semi matte finish.
7. Contains apricot kernel oil, coriander fruit oil, jojoba seed oil, passiflora edulis seed oil, macadamia ternifolia seed oil and Vitamin E.
8. Good coverage.

Cons:

1. Expensive compared to other BB creams in the market and for the 30 ml qty.
2. Stays for 4-5 hours and needs touch up later.

Overall I do like it..only issue is the whitish cast..it would suit dry skin more..and those who need less coverage..its a little on the expensive side though…but surely worth a try.

Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream Review, Swatches

I have been so caught up with everything..the backlog of posts is like ever increasing..I am too late in posting this Vital Orange BB Cream Review..but better late than never..so lets start..Super Plus Triple Functions BB Vital Cream

MRP: $ 31.00 for 40g

What the Company claims: Upgraded Sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection SPF50. Strengthen’s skin NMF and maintain balanced skin condition. Osmopur-N and Vital-V Complex soothe and protect skin from harmful environments for a moisturized, healthy skin.

Ingredients:

It comes in the same round chubby tub with pump packaging as the Hot Pink one..it does not have a grey undertone like the Hot Pink but is definitely quite light ! This is more suitable for pale skin..

Check out Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream Review HERE and Skin79 BB Cleanser Review HERE

This gives completely matte finish unlike the Hot Pink which is a little dewy..this would suit oily skin..stays for a good 6-7 hours..and you just need a tiny amount..it gives medium to full coverage and is buildable..I like the fact that it offers SPF50 protection.

Pros:

1. Gives medium to full coverage.
2. Ideal for oily skin as gives a matte finish..and there is no need for touch ups atleast for 4-5 hours..
3. Has SPF50 protection.
4. It claims to maintain a balanced skin condition and soothe and protect skin…well I am not sure of that..but this feels quite light on the skin..and you do not feel as if you are wearing anything..does feel natural..only if there were more suitable shades 🙁
5. Would last a real long time as you need just a tiny bit.
6. Has many good ingredients like extracts of rosemary, chamomile, grapefruit, aloe vera and rice bran oil, soybean oil, rosemary oil,etc
7. Cute packaging and easy to use pump dispensor.

Cons:

1. Too pale for our skin tones..this does not work with blending too..i.e the difference is too obvious.
2. May not suit dry skin.
3. Has parabens.

Overall I love the packaging of these Skin79 BB Creams and how this one gives a good enough coverage and has SPF50..this feels quite light on the skin too..only had it been available in more shades..it would have been a super winner..

If you are pale and have oily skin, grab this now !

Skin79 Hot Pink Super Plus Beblesh Balm Review
TOTAL SOLUTION BB CREAM WITH 10-IN-1 EFFECTS. Moisture based triple function BB cream takes care of the base as well as colour makeup and allows the skin to look bright and natural without greasiness or feeling tight.

Skin79’s all-time best seller, this product offers a one-step quick-fix for a total of ten beauty grouses. It improves wrinkles, fends off UV damage, nourishes skin, hydrates, builds resilience, protects skin against pollution, controls sebum and acts as a makeup base and foundation.

Its girly pink packaging also speaks to the princess in every young lady, and is a charming acquisition to any dressing table.

Suitable for oily / combination skin.

MRP: $ 28.00 for 40g

Ingredients:

ADENOSINE AND ARBUTIN penetrate deeply to whiten, brighten, iron out wrinkles and give skin elasticity.

OSMOPUR, a patented compound of sunflower, rice bran and ivy extracts shields the skin against environmental stressors.

PHYTO COMPLEX, a potent blend of plant extracts, deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin.

SPF 25 PA++ protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, which burn the skin, cause premature aging and contribute to cancer.

SKIN79 Features and Benefits

  • Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin

This Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream is their hot selling and most demanded BB Cream..it is out of stock many a times.

Unblended

It love the hot pink round packaging ! This sure look pretty in every girl’s stash..it has a light floral smell..not too bothering..it has a gel like texture…and blends easily into the skin with fingers..this works best with fingers..it has a normal easy to use pump dispensor..and one pump is generally enough..unless you want to layer up or cover blemishes.

It has a slight greyish tint..but the color oxidizes a little and adjusts to the skin tone..though I think its more suitable for people around NC/ NW 20-30..gives me a little whitish cast..may be coz of the sunscreen content too..this one is not meant for photographs..

Pros:

1. Feels super light on the skin.
2. Gives medium coverage and evens out the skin tone..especially the redness if you have any..due to acne.
3. Though it mentions for oily to combination skin..it would suit all skin tones..dry skin might need a moisturiser underneath..and very oily skin would need to powder the skin.
4. Adjusts to the natural skin tone.
5. Offers SPF25 PA ++..so would not need a separate sunscreen.
6. It can be layered on blemishes, etc uncovered with a single application, like a concealer..and still the finish is even and smooth..there is no patchiness.
7. Love the hot pink packaging.
8. Gives a dewy finish.
9. Stays for a good 6-7 hours..and starts wearing off later.
10. There is a visible improvement in the skin..after continued usage.
11. It does not transfer on your tissue or hanky once set.

Cons:

1. Gives a little whitish cast..so not for photographs.
2. Has parabens.
3. This may not work for duskier skin tones.

Other than that..I did not find any other con..I am quite loving it..though availability is an issue here..but its available on ebay and many sites online..but there are many fakes..and you have to rely on a site you know sells authentic ones..

Some pointers to check if the Skin79 BB cream is genuine..

L-R: Perforated Tearing, Bar Code, Label
  • Check for the perforated tearing on the box which can be torn and has contents on the inside.
  • Skin79 bar code marking on the box.
  • Black and silver Skin79 untampered label on the bottle.

Type All Skin Types & Especially for sensitive skins
VOLUME 30g

MRP: USD 48.99

The ingredient list is mentioned but its in Chinese language.

I love this round packaging…it opens from all sides like a flower blooming..:p The 30g tube is a medium sized one..not very small..but ya not too big..its wrapped in butter paper..and comes with 2 blenders..which are joined in a heart shape..

They claim it to be a real Blemish Balm…which actually heals blemishes and helps in preventing pigmentation…I am using it from quite some time..

A very thin layer is needed to be spread around..and as mentioned its not supposed to be blended..but just patted..It has a fruity smell which I quite liked..

You need just a little amount as it spreads around well..and covers more area..The only thing is it is gray with a hint of yellow in shade..and does leave a little whitish cast..and it does cover redness..but it would not replace your tinted moisturiser or foundation..since it would not match our skin tones..but this works great as a base too..and at times you can just top this up with a pressed powder..if you want to skip foundation.

Unblended

It does leave a smooth feeling on the skin..and the foundation or tinted moisturiser also goes on better with this as a base..it also reduces the appearance of pores a little.

It gives a dewy finish at start but settles to a matte finish in a few seconds…this stays put a good 5-6 hours and does not impart any oiliness to the skin.

Pros:

1. It does cover redness and evens out the tone.
2. Works as a base for foundation or tinted moisturiser.
3. It can also be used standalone..just with a pressed powder on top.
4. No preservatives,alcohol, mineral oil or parabens.
5. Its made from natural plant extracts.
6. It does feel soothing on the skin…if your skin is acne prone..this would cover the redness and feel quite soothing.
7. Quite good for sensitive skin.
8. Its small and handy and quite travel friendly.
9. It reduces the appearance of pore size.
10. It is truly a real Blemish Balm..it does what it claims.

Cons:

1. Since its grayish in color..it does give some whitish cast.
2. Expensive.
3. Availability is an issue..its only available on WishTrend as of now.You can buy it here
4. Single universal shade.

Overall I quite like this Blemish Balm. It feels soothing, works as a great base too and reduces the appearance of pores, covers redness and prevents blemishes too.
