Hello Girls~! First of all I want to say Thank you for following my blog and Liked my Facebook page! I really appreciate it! I haven't been reviewing much lately because I've been testing products non-stop!
Today I wrote a review about Etude's BB Magic Cream (Refreshing) for Oily Skin.
There is an English description on the box: BB Magic Cream offers natural looking coverage that nourishes, corrects skin tone.
Directions according to the box: After facial cleansing, apply a small amount of product to hands and spread evenly across facial surface. Cream may give a whitish appearance upon initial application but will naturally blend with skin tone once lotion sets.
It doesn't look very light to me but it doesn't have that grey tint either so that's good! The consistency is watery and it looks like this BB cream is water-based. But not as watery as the Holika Holika Aqua Jelly BB.
After spreading it on my hand it looks pretty white but I have no idea why it looks darker on my face!

| I didn't apply BB cream on my eyes area! |
The finish is semi-matte, I would recommend no moisturizer before application if you have super oily skin. I used oil-free moisturizer as a base. The BB Magic Cream lasts for hours but my T-line went a little bit oily (not much) after 7 hours or so. It's always better if you set it with a matte finish powder.
It doesn't have any SPF which is a downside. Coverage is light! It didn't cover my pores! It has citrus scent that you usually find in anti-acne and anti-oil products!
This BB cream is not suitable for me because it can't cover my pores. That's a shame! So I'm going to give it 3 wings out 5 ^^; Because it's overall a good BB cream but with light coverage and No SPF!
Have you ever tried this BB cream?
Thank you for reading!

aww, one of the reason why I sometimes use bb cream is to simply cover my pores so this bb cream is not 100% for me. thanks for the review :D
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Thank you for reading ^^
DeleteI have this BB Cream for dry skin and I don't like it much either D: It doesn't cover anything! But it does give a nice glow to my skin.
ReplyDeleteNice review ^_~
Thank you Jenny ^^
DeleteI've been thinking of getting BB cream and your review helps :) I've also looked into Holika Holika's and one of the salesgirls recommended one of them that totally did not match my skin tone at all! Even I could've seen that >_<
ReplyDeleteI find it so annoying when cosmetics don't have SPF >_<

Sometimes salegirls aren't the experts and also the light in the shop might made your skintone look a little bit darker or lighter ^^
DeleteI haven't tried anything from Etude House, because I've heard that they do animal testing ):

Really? I've heard they don't test animals but I haven't looked it up for months! Where did you read that? ^^
DeleteThey don't test themselves now, but they sell in China which means the products must be tested on animals. :/
DeleteWell, seeing that it doesn't have much coverage or SPF, I think that it won't suit me. Thanks 4 your review I've found it very interesting.

You're welcome! Thank you for reading <3
DeleteThanks for reviewing! I will never buy it because has no spf =/
ReplyDeleteNo problem ^^
DeleteI'm so glad you tried this. We're similar colors, and I try to avoid bb creams with pink tones (I like grey and yellow tones), or it will look the same on me as in your photo.
ReplyDeleteIt was one I was thinking of trying but now I can save money and try another product, thanks for the review ^_^
No problem! I didn't expect it to have pink undertones! It looks fine on my hand I guess it's my face DX
DeleteHi, Eva!
ReplyDeleteI've seen that you have entered my blog giveaway, but you forgot to follow the blog with GFC and to add a comment on the giveaway post! Just to let you know ^^
Greetings from Shirayuki's Beauty.
I thought I was following you! I'm sorry ^^; Maybe because I followed you with my Bunny Kiss Google+ account though because I remember reading your last post. I messed it up sorry :<
DeleteI was always contemplating buying this on Cosmetic.Love because it was cheap but my skintone is fair so I was like 'Where the hee-haw is the colour choices' (;A;)
DeleteThank chu for this review it was really helpful; I'm going to try different Etude House BB creams now~❤
By the way; your skin is amazing dsndwidnwan (;3;)~
thanks for share..
ReplyDeletethis is my first bb cream and my fav too *_*
ReplyDeleteas far as i remembered, i love this bb cream(maybe my skin are really good that time..so i can't tell)..it looks glowy on my face..but since my skin condition is par with previously so i don't think this gonna suit me anymore..haha
Thanks for this review - I've been looking at this but I mainly want a BB Cream to hide my pores so it doesn't sound like this would be great for me!
