[REVIEW] Innisfree No Sebum BB Cream

Hello readers! Today I'll be doing a review on one of the few BB creams I have been using for quite a while now - Innisfree No Sebum BB Cream. 

[40ml, SPF 30 PA++, No. 2 Natural Beige]

Product Benefits: This bb cream contains natural mineral powder naturally derived from the islands of Jeju. The minerals prevents darkening and enhances brightening of the skin. It also contains natural sebum control powder which absorbs excessive sebum on the skin surface, and helps to present a non-greasy, soft and powdery complexion all day long. It also contains Jeju green tea extract and mint extract to control and balance moisture for helatier skin. The product also carries a 4-free system: No animal ingredients, No benzophenones, No acrylamides, No artificial fragrances. 

Instructions for use:
After your regular skincare routine, apply an appropriate amount onto palm. 

Before

Dab on forehead, nose, both cheeks and chins with your fingers then spread evenly over from wide to narrow areas. 

After

SUMMARY OF REVIEW

My thoughts: The bb cream does give you a powdery complexion upon application. However, the lasting power of this cream wasn't very strong. It lasted for approximately 3 hours before most of it seemed to have vanished from my skin. O.O Oil control was good while the bb cream lasted. The coverage it provides was good too, not too thick such that you get that gunky feeling, but not too light that all your blemishes can still be seen. It feels light and has a herb-like scent, something that I'm beginning to realise exists in many of Innisfree's products.I would recommend this for people with oily or combination skin. :)

Would I buy it again: Perhaps so, I do like the texture that the bb cream feels on my skin. Although coverage isn't very long lasting, I usually wear this only when I'm going to school (no need for all that foundation and eyeliners there!) or going out for a quick trip. So this does what I need. :)

Price: SGD$20 at local Innisfree stores (there's only one so far at Takashimaya), 18000 won (S$21) in South Korea, SGD$21 at qoo10.sg

Verdict: 8/10

[REVIEW] Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

Hello readers! In lieu of the first-ever opening of Innisfree in Singapore (words cannot describe how delighted I am - I can now continue to buy Innisfree makeup locally!), I decided to do another review on another one of my ultimate favourite product from Innisfree - No Sebum Mineral Powder.

This is from the No Sebum Mineral line - which also includes mineral powder, mineral primer and mineral pact. I have yet to try the primer and the pact, because I personally feel that this powder has a lot more versatility in use!

I usually use this as a make-up fixer as well as an eye primer (it's amazing in preventing crease lines as a result of oily lids, and also makes your eyeliner last longer!)

Product Benefits:

• Dual sebum control system: sebum absorbing powder effectively absorbs water & oil, and minerals provide natural sebum control
• Covers/Smoothes
• Contains natural minerals & mint
• 6-free system: no mineral oil, no paraben, no talc, no color, no animal ingredients & no artificial fragrances

Instructions for use:

Dispense appropriate amount onto the puff (included) and pat.

(Above) Before applying powder - Innisfree Mineral Melting Foundation (read review here!) only

(Above) Patting on the no-sebum mineral powder

(Above) After: Leaves a softer look! - Powder + Foundation

SUMMARY OF REVIEW:

My thoughts:I absolutely love this powder to bits. It's definitely a permanent part of my make-up routine! It has a very pleasant herb smell that is light on the nose. :) And it leaves your skin looking softer too! It's also great as a mattifying product, especially if your new foundation tends to be more on the dewy side.

Would I buy it again: Yes!

Price: (5g) South Korea-6000 won (S$7), Qoo10-Sgd$7.90

Verdict: 10/10
