Etude House BB Magic Pact #1 Review
When Etude House arrived at the Philippines, I hurriedly grabbed my boyfriend to its store in SM Manila at bought these products. You can see the things that I bought during that day in a different post, here.
For someone who doesn't know yet the difference of BB pact to BB cream, the answer is very simple. BB pact is in compact form like make-up foundations while BB cream is in liquid form like tinted moisturizer or liquid foundation.
That is the BB Magic Pact itself. A puff is included and there is also this plastic film that supposedly separate the puff from the powder itself.
Pressed powder compact absorbs oil and supplies long lasting coverage with smooth, moist finish for a natural look. This product is free of oil, talc, and wax for sensitive skin.
-Safe for Problematic Skin
-Talc & Oil Free to Alleviate Skin Irritation
-Applied after base/foundation application
Available in 1 Light Beige (lighter) and 2 Natural Beige (darker)
Price: P678.00 - I find it a bit pricey ^_^ but I realized it is worth it!
Packaging: I bet you know why I gave it a perfect score. It is from Etude House and expect that ALL their products are super adorable and princess-like. The cover is a shade of pink and purple and have embossed swirls. Super love!
Shade: This BB pact comes in 2 shades only: #1 Light Beige (lighter) and #2 Natural Beige (darker). I got the #1 shade because I thought the "darker" means really dark for me but I was wrong. I forgot that this product is originated in Korea and people there are so fair so always bear in mind that their dark shade is still light for us. Even though I bought the lighter shade, I'm still happy with it because it blends in my skin color after a few minutes and I didn't look white lady at all :p
Smell: It is lightly fragrance. Other's would find it annoying because it has fragrance but I totally love it! It smells so good. Don't worry because the smell will fade after seconds you put it.
Staying Power: Most of the time, when I'm in a air-conditioned room, it would last me for 6-8 hours and when I'm outside, meaning hot sunny weather, it would stay for only 4-5 hours which is not bad.
Oil control: Perfect! It's oil control is really good that I only need to retouch after work meaning after 8 hours. I can say it is really really good. After 4-6 hours, my skin is not oily at all but a bit dewy which is not really bad.
- oil control is really good since I have oily face
- it moisturize my skin very since the active ingredients are Chamomile Extract, Aloe Vera Gel and Centella Asiatica.
- it made my skin look so flawless
- breaks me out. And because of that, I seldom use it until now that I realized it's not the pact that really breaks me out but the facial wash I'm using that time so in short, no cons for this product! :P
How about you dear? Have you tried using a BB pact? How was it?
