Apologies for this late review, as I believe it has since been replaced by another product from Laneige.
I usually will take quite some time to use up my make-up products as I only used it over the weekends and BB cream on weekdays.
I received this as a Xmas gift from a close friend quite some time back and did not get to use it until my Benefit That Gal was used up.
A little goes a long way so I have decided to review this after using this for a couple of months. Reviews on my blog are only provided after I have used the products for a period of time so please bear with me. I believe that benefits for certain products will only be apparent only after a period of time so review after a one-time usage is just not so fair to all of us.
Although this shade 10 (white pink) is still wearable on my skin but its not a perfect shade for my tone. The product claims that it is able to lighten skin instantly. With that in mind, I wonder if my face appears whiter after each application is a genuine concern. This shade is definitely not for the dark skin tone as applying on my face produces a white cast with a slight pinkish tone immediately. It gives a slight shimmering effect which could be largely due to their light reflecting particles as claimed in the product description.
Male friends have commented recently that I looked too fair ( with make-up ) even though I have been using this for months so I am guessing that its either I have turned fairer that the white cast made my face appears even whiter or that I have turned darker and that the shade does not suit me.
Hmm. Both analogies sound logical to me. Haha.
Although it contains arbutin to lighten skin and spots, its not fair for me to judge on its efficacy as I used it only during weekends.
And any white cast on the skin after application will be offset by the compact powder so my skin appears brighter and more radiant in the end.
I am also happy to say that it provides SPF32 with PA+ sun protection against UVA and UVB rays. Under sunny Singapore, this is very important to me. And most importantly that its oil-free. I simply adore oil-free products.
Would I buy this?
Probably not, as I believe there are better products out there.
