Review on Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream - Sheer Glowing Skin

Product Description

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream promotes silky complexion with pearl infused sheer coverage. Contains adenosine & arbutin for anti-wrinkle & whitening efficiencies. SPF for UV protection

After seeing how it gave my sister a flawless and radiant look, I decided to get this when I was in Korea, its such a steal with more than 50% cheaper ( $16 in Korea ) than Singapore stores ( $39.90 in Singapore )

Since I have never use any mineral cream before, I cannot discern the difference between a normal mineral cream and this product. It just seems like a usual liquid foundation to me.

The free sample which I have (Courtesy from Taiwan Etude House, when I bought their items some time back), comes in a tube which oozes out easily and may get messy at times, as it may gives out more than its required.

Thank goodness that the retail size which I bought ( after liking the sample ) is a pump dispenser type which is good for travelling without the messiness. However the pump dispenses more than what I required ( even with just one squirtz ) so it can be quite wasteful.

A little goes a long way and its so affordable so you actually can save money from this tube alone.

As with all BB creams, it offers SPF protection, whitening properties and provides good anti-aging benefits with prolonged usage.

Slightly scented with a floral fragrance, its seems to be more suitable for ladies with fair skin as it made me look brighter and fairer. Thankfully I am on the fair skinned tone and hence it suits me quite well. For my sister, as she is of a darker tone, this BB cream made her looked "whitish" and she have to follow up with her normal compact powder to even out the skin tone.

Recommended for dry skin, I thought it will provide moisture to my skin however, it still feels dry on my skin at times so if my skin is flaking, I will not use it as it would make the flakiness even more obvious.

This cream has a slight pinkish under tone and provides good enough coverage on its own, a better coverage than my own Stila Illuminating liquid foundation.

I have been using it regularly every morning for the past 4 months, either on its own or with my compact powder.

On its own, it blends in well with my skin tone to give good enough coverage and skin tone looks more even. A colleague have also commented that my skin looks better ( when I applied this product ) and radiant. Its good enough to cover small blemishes and light scars.

However, there is not much of oil control perhaps thats why its recommended for dry skin as I still experienced T-zone oilness by mid day which is fine with me, as I can dab the little shine away. Still, it would be a bonus if it can help to keep my shine at bay.

If I used it with my own Estee Lauder brightening compact powder, it provides a flawless finish but somehow, my face looks "whiter", a slight different shade than my neck which I do not really like. Hence I will still use my Stila Illuminating liquid foundation with my powder.

Since I have always been mistaken to be younger than my real age, I cannot comment much on its anti-aging properties or its wrinkle properties.

However, after the 4 months usage, I do notice that my slight pigmentaion on the cheeks did not look any worser so its SPF30 is doing its job well, I would say. My skin did not turn darker but it doesn't appear to be fairer too.

A recent visit to my beautician have also revealed that I have better skin to boot.
