BRTC bb cream


Hmm… So what’s on my mind? Due to the Korean craze of BB cream that had spread to Singapore, Sooo many brands of bb creams are introduced!
Hot favourites like: Dr. G, BRTC, Dr. Jart Silver, Skin Food, The Face Shop, Ettude House, Skin79, L’egere and More! After hearing all the comments and such, i've decide to buy THIS!

BRTC Protect Multiplex Balm SPF 20 PA++ BB Cream


Okay this is it! im so excited and i can't wait to try it. When i got home, i just smooth it over my hand my face and yeah. It kinda sucks when i can't try it out in guardian :/ They only have the package




It has so much ingredients and seriously I kinda regret buying it. And it's so expensive!!!
Here's the verdict:

Pros: 
  • It has good coverage, really cover up my scars 
  • I really like the matte finish
  • Packaging is okay
  • I tink the oil controlling is okay, need to blot my face twice in about 8 hours
Cons:
  • I tried it for the day and yeah, it broke me out!!! 
  • THE SMELL!! ok, i really really hate the smell i can't stand it. whenever the air-con or wind blows at you, you can smell the bb cream. It smells like medicated oil. omg.
  • It is very thick and is really really hard to spread. Instead of spreading i ended patting all the bb cream into my face instead. Took me a LONG time. I tried putting on moisturizer first but it doesn't really help either. After i put it on, i feel it's really heavy, can feel something on my face
  • Spf 20+ too low
  • Has pink undertone, makes you look really fake because my skin color is yellow and fair. 
  • Expensive

I really regret buying this. I definitely don't recommend this for acne prone, oily or sensitive skin. The ingredients contain mineral oil and it will break you out. Check this out:

This is definitely not worth buying. :(
