Review The Face Shop Face It Shimmering BB Cream

Product Description
New series of skincare and cosmetic line under the name of "Face It". Shimmering BB contains Pearl Powder that gives the skin a dewy and slight shimmery complexion upon application

I received 2 sachets from a friend when she was in Korea for a business trip. Each sachet last me for about 4 times of usages depending on how much you used.
I really do not understand why this product is termed as a BB cream because its just too shimmery for daily use. Tiny specks of shimmering bits all over the face with no coverage at all. I do not even have flawless skin to boot.

There is a very sweet floral scent which I quite like. The colour has a pinkish tone to bring a subtle glow to the skin, as a highlighter.
The specks are not obvious from afar but one can see it if they talk to you. I felt like a disco ball, the first time I used it alone.
Next, I tried to mix together with my Iope BB cream. The shimmering specks were slightly better. More subtle, but I still do not like to have it all over my face, because it will draw attention to my less than perfect areas. And I do not like to wear shimmer to work.

Finally, I did what I think its best for me. I used it as a highlighter instead. On the cheekbones, after my BB cream application ( weekdays) or after my compact powder ( weekends ). It can also be applied on the brow bones too.
However, when applied after compact powder, it tends to be patchy on my skin, which can be pretty ugly and brought even more attention at the wrong places.
I believe there are much better highlighters out there. And its silly to think that this can be a BB cream because its just not what a BB cream can do. Oh, but there's SPF though.

It has very good staying power and the shimmers are still there after 10hours of wear. Water alone cannot cleanse this off. Even with soap, tiny speaks are still visible. Make-up remover with cleanser or double cleansing are highly recommended.
