BB Creams Review: TONY MOLY 3D EXPERT COLLAGEN BB CREAM

This is my third attempt to review a BB Cream. ^_^

My husband has been telling me about his office colleague who buys stuff at TONY MOLY... and I, being a fashionista, was very eager to know what/where is this store!  I happen to see it (again) at SM North. So, here am I, finding myself looking and heading to the store.  And guess what?  Because of the phenomenal BB Cream. Yay!

A Triple Function Cosmetic: Whitening + Anti-Wrinkle + UV Ray Protection

Contains Golden Peptide which has excellent synthesizing capability, provides elasticity to the skin and makes the skin smooth with no uneven skin texture by filling in wrinkles.

This BB Cream has the following features:

-SPF 40, PA +++(Sunscreen protection)

-Contains collagen, which benefits the skin.

-Anti-wrinkle

-Whitening

-Mild Lavender Scent

I tried applying a sample swatch on my arm to see it's shade:

Now, after applying it on my face with a few pat of face powder:

After a whole day of work:

My kikayholic verdict: (Based on my personal experience)

COVERAGE: It gives medium to heavy coverage. It hides almost all my marks and dark spots except for some of my stubborn pimples. After a few minutes of application, it oxidizes and blends on my skin tone evenly. It doesn't gives a grayish cast. 

CONSISTENCY: The cream is somehow a bit of between watery and creamy beige base, moderately spreadable with bare hands. But it was very hard to determine what will be the proper amount to put because it looks sheer when applied.  To avoid overdoing it, I suggest to use a stippling brush and "stipple it" for a flawless finish.

SCENT: It has a mild sweet lavender scent and becomes odorless in time.

OIL CONTROL: I need to put a lot of blotting paper over my face a least every 2 to 3 hours, especially when it is hot, perhaps because it was designed for a sheer/dewy finish. Perhaps it doesn't fit my skin type because of my oily/combination skin. It doesn't break me out.

I just discover, I just have to pat a face powder/apply a mineral powder over it after oxidizing to secure that matte finish for longer hours (I prefer matte finish).

LENGTH OF TIME IT HOLDS: Holds 8 up to 10 hrs on my face.

PRICE: Expensive compared to other BB creams. (Php 1,295.00)

All-in-all, I will rate it as 4.4 over 5. I will definitely be buying this BB cream which is good for everyday use and even for special occasions. What I like most about it, is that it gives a natural glow. But if you are not a fan of a dewy finish, this one is not the best for you, although you may opt to put a face powder or a mineral powder using a Kabuki brush (the latter is the best).

'Til my next post kikays!
