Review: Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Silk Cake Powder

BB cream user?

Packaging freak?

Purple lover?

My answers are just all YES!!!

"OMG!"--my initial reaction when I first saw this uber cutesy purple compact from Maybelline.

More so that I've read it's label--"BB Silk". 

Well, knowing how much I love to use my bb cream daily, 

I JUST HAVE TO GET THIS!

And sooo, woot woot!

I've been using this for a month now and finally I'm going to throw my two cents.

PRODUCT DETAILS:

Pore-smoothing BB Silk Essence is infused into our ultra fine powders to blend into a silky soft, weightless film that won’t sent into or highlight your pores. Instantly creates a smoother, poreless looking skin. Brighter UV-Protected Skin. Contains “Korean Mulberry Root Extract”, known to lighten and brighten skin while inhibiting melanin production. Skin instantly becomes visibly brighter and more radiant. SPF 21 PA+++ protects skin from harmful UV rays and skin darkening. Oil Control for Hours. Oil absorbing ingredients effectively absorbs excess oil though the wear.

MY OPINION:

♥♥♥LIKES♥♥♥

-Reflective purple compact is super cute.

-Separate bottom compartment for sponge is hygienic.

- Affordable and locally available at PHP 329.00

-Has SPF 21 PA++. Perfect for summer time noh?

-Blends easily and gives a silky finish

-No break-outs after a month of use

-No need for touch-ups in my case since I don't have oily skin.

I use bb cream as base and I stay mostly in an air-conditioned area.

-Not powdery or chalky whenever I use my brush to apply this on my face.

-The coverage is light to medium and leaves my skin looking poreless and fresh.

~~Cons~~

-Compact is a little bulky, wishing it was a little sleek instead.

-More shades please. This seem to be for fair but with cool undertone as it leans more on pink side and I am fair with more of a warmer yellow undertones. 02 which is the next shade is already dark for me.

Overall, considering the price and the quality of what you're getting, I definitely recommend this.

With the compact itself actually, I'm all contented haha!

Thanks for reading!

Have you tried this powder pact already?

I just love how Maybelline tries to inovate their products from packaging and formula.

Oh, I love their mascaras and lippies btw.

How about you?

"Maybe it's Maybelline"  ♪ ♫♪ ♫

Randomly remembering their ads on TV haha :p

So yeah, Happy Holy Week everyone!
