Review : Holika Holika Luminous Silk Starter for BB




Product Description
The liquid formula dries quickly and provides full coverage. Pink color pearl makes skin feel luxuriously soft and look radiant. Natural water moisturizes the skin, making it soft, smooth and elastic. Mineral oil free, paraben free, vaseline free. Whitening + wrinkle care.

When I first started using the sachet, I was not aware that this was supposed to be used before BB cream since the description is in Korean. However, I was curious on the term "starter for BB" and the name "luminous silk" sounds so similar to its BB cream.



On its own, it has a pleasant parfum-fragrance ( also reminds me of baby powder scent ) that can be quite heavy for some. The pink colour is pretty and glowy but hardly obvious on my fair skin tone. It has little specks of sparkles in it. The texture is slightly creamy and disappear into the skin once its blended properly. There is no coverage, unlike what the product description says. Oil control is moderately well.

Matching with my current Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream , this Starter BB cream serves to give off a pearly sheen to the skin after a couple of hours but not immediate. It did not provide the soft, smooth, moisturised and elastic skin as claimed.

You can also use it as a highlighter to highlight the high points on your face. ie. cheekbones
