One short trip to Guardian after lunch in Mid Valley makes me realise that Maybelline’s highly raved BB cream which is not available in Malaysia is FINALLY HERE!
Being a Watsons member, I decided to head over on the weekend to buy it. To my disappointment, this BB cream is only available in Guardian.
Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream is selling at a “sale” price of RM19.88. I can’t remember the NP of this. It’s around RM22+ I think.
The BB cream only comes in 1 size (18ml) and 1 colour tone which suits fair skin tone. I’m not a bit worried it might look ghastly ghostly on me as my 2-way foundation will tone it down. In fact…I wanted my BB cream to look ghastly ghostly on me after applied! Reason being is that my current Skin79 BB cream will turn to dark colour when my skin starts to get oily. I’ve been waiting for it to finish and finally it’s finish and thank God I spotted this.
The BB cream claims to have 8-In-1 benefits. Some people feels that this is dry but to me it’s alright. It may look dry during application but it does a bit moisturizing for combination skin and I’d suggest applying moisturizer first before applying this BB cream. For me, Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream works for me. My face stays matte a bit and doesn’t feel sticky throughout the mid of the day. Clinique Superdefense Moisturizer tend to be oily and sticky-feeling when I start to sweat or so.
As you flip over the paper, you’d see a step by step guide on how to apply BB cream. I guess this is for those who never use BB cream or foundation before.
I like the protective seal on the cap. At least I don’t have to be worried on who have used it before at the store.
Would I repurchase?:- Yes, definately!
Reason:- It’s affordable & good too
Rating:- 4.5/5 (other country comes with a clear box and Malaysia’s don’t)
