RaiTries: Pond's Flawless White BB+ Cream

Hi Guys!

Today I'm going to share my experience with the Pond's Flawless White BB+ Cream :)

I've been in a constant hunt for the perfect BB Cream, The Face Shop Lovely Me-Ex still has my heart but I thought this would be the perfect time to try other brands. I'm a huge BB cream fanatic. I always mention in my blogs that I do love them more than foundations.

Before I discovered Belo skin care products, I have been an absolute Pond's girl. I used every product form the brand...facial wash, toner, moisturizer...everything! I honestly think that Pond's products are staple on every 15-year-old girl's room/bathroom. Everyone and their mother uses Pond's. So it's really really interesting when they finally jumped into producing makeup items such as this one.

I'm assuming that this BB cream might have the "rosy-white" whitening properties of Pond's...that's like their trade mark, really. I'm very very cautious in using whitening products on my face because my face reacts so fast and so much with whitening skin care products to the point that it literally is 2 shades whiter than my body...and I don't like that :( It's really really hard to match my face shade to my neck and body shade.

That kind of held me back from trying out the product...but I really can't resist...it's a BB cream! I need to try, at least.

Where to buy: Any beauty section of any Department Store, Supermarkets, Watsons

Price: P299.00 

Amount: 25 grams 

Packaging: Plastic tube, I have nothing against the packaging. It would have been better if they threw in a pump though.  I know...I just know that it will be hard to squeeze out the remaining products when you're almost done with it. 

Scent: Literally Pond's face moisturizer. It smells exactly like that hahaha #throwback. It smells like the usual skin care product. 

Application: It is a bit mousse-y, the product isn't runny at all. It is thick and tacky but I was fine with it. It applied evenly and smoothly. You can use your finger or a sponge, I used a brush :) 

Coverage: Medium coverage. It visibly hides redness but it can't "conceal" bumps and other unwanted marks, it will just start to cake if you add more. Perfect for everyday use in my opinion, but for those long, sweaty night parties? I don't think so. What I love about this product is that it gives you a flawless, healthy finish. It gives you a glow-y, dewy look. It leaves your skin looking healthy, flawless and super natural.

Claims: Has SPF 30 PA++, with GenActive COVER Formula, helps provide effortless natural bare-faced look, gives instant natural coverage and lightens your skin from within!

Let's get started :) 

It is contained in a plastic tube thing. Control over the product (squeeze out) is pretty fair. 

It has an almost mousse-y consistency, not runny at all.

Clean canvass. Time check: 7:00AM :D

This side, bare faced. My skin is looooving the weather! It's been behaving real good lately. I love cold weathers but I still have redness around the nose, few veins and blemished on my cheeks. 

This is the Pond's BB cream side. Redness around the nose hidden, feeling really good and flawless with this BB cream! It concealed my blemishes on the cheeks yet it's so light. My skin can still breath even with this BB cream on. 

I must say it's very dewy, you're literally luminous...and that's kind of a problem because I am oily...we'll see hmm! 

Apply it however you want, fingers, brush, sponge :) works fine in any way. 

First check in. Time check: 11:30 AM, almost lunch time. OILY! It has a dewy finish in the first place so me oiling up is expected.

But  even though I look so greasy....I don't feel like it. Feels like my skin is very glowy..like it gave my face a healthy luminous finish :) Unlike other foundations/BB creams, I should be feeling uneasy and greasy at this point in time. But with the Pond's BB cream...no worries, they're really comfortable :) Blotting might help reduce the oil.

Ok final check in. Time check: 8:00PM, super haggard! BB cream almost gone, it lasted for a good 8 hours. I mean come on Guys, this has been on me for 13 hours!!! Redness around the nose are already visible but the cheek part...it actually made my bronzer hold on a little longer, I can still see a little bit bronzer seriously haha! 

Final thoughts: This might be a huge statement but I must say...I love it more than my Lovely Me-Ex BB Cream (http://raitries.blogspot.com/2015/11/raitries-faceshop-lovely-me-ex-bb-cream.html) (and that's like my holy grail). I have been using this BB Cream for few months now and I love it, I couldn't stop using it. It lasts longer, it doesn't break me out, covers imperfections amazingly and it has a higher SPF compared to my TheFaceShop BB cream. If you're looking for a hustle free, affordable, everyday light coverage, try this one out! :) 

PS. I don't/never use primer for all of my foundations and BB creams review to test it true longevity and coverage :) No concealers too. 

Pond's also came out with two shades (I know that's not enough but not all BB creams have shade variations, so shoutout for the effort, okay?). It comes in Light which is my shade and Beige for the darker skin toned. 

That's it for this review Guys, hope this helped you out! 

Always remember...BE BEAUTIFUL, BE YOU!

Lots and lots of love,
