   I think you have to be careful when buying Korean b.b. creams. They tend to be lacking in shades, and when they do have a selection, it tends to be quite small.

   The problem I had with this b.b. cream was that it just didn’t match my skin tone. It’s better for someone who probably has more neutral undertones. I’m a NC20, and this made my face obviously a different shade and tone than the rest of my body. Unfortunately, I ended up throwing this out.

   Late to the Korean product party. Bought this on a whim in search of a product to speed up my mornings from a seller on Amazon. I was surprised it went on light but oxidized to match my light to medium skin tone very quickly. It is a creamier consistency, and great for dry skin. I def do not look like I am wearing makeup. It looks like I just have great skin. I have not had any problems with looking greasy or green as others have stated. I do set it with translucent ELF High Definition powder before leaving for the day.

   Updated to add: After about a week of trying this product – by the end of the day my face looked greasy and pale. Very pale. Even thought initially it seemed to match in my house, out in the real world NOT SO MUCH. Gave to my tween daughter to play with. She loves the fun packaging.

   Where to begin on this? In short this stuff is amazing, easily the best BB cream I have ever used

   To start with the colour matches me perfectly (I’m sand beige in Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup and an NC20 in MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation by the way) the formula is extremely easy to blend (It took me 45 seconds to do my whole face) and the coverage is pretty similar to most medium coverage foundations

   When I first squeezed some out I wasn’t sure what to expect, it looked a bit dark at first but then it seemed to almost lighten up and matched into my face really well, it had a bit of a thick texture (like a lot of liquid foundations) but was still really blendable and I also noticed that it was somewhat buildable

   This stuff does have a bit of a smell to it, it smells like an old hair gel I had as a kid (but in a good way) it’s not bad, it’s just something to be aware of, it does go away after about a minute or two so it’s not a huge problem I don’t think

   This stuff does take on a very glowy finish which is something I was expecting from a moisture BB cream, if you’re into that sort of thing then you’ll love this, I personally like leaving it on for 10 minutes and then powdering it with a puff, the finish stays matte for about 6 hours with no touch up that way

   This stuff also seems to be invisible if you blend it well, I went out to dinner with my family who honestly had no idea I was wearing anything, my mother even said how nice it was to see me without the “clown face” as she put it

   Another thing to mention is that I had scarring on my face from a recent break out when I first used this, I wore it all day and then took it off at the end of the day, the next morning the pigmentation of the scars had faded a lot, I don’t know if this stuff has any whitening properties but it seems to have had that effect for me

   I bought this stuff on eBay for around £4 which got me 30ml so it’s extremely cheap, they also make a clearing one that I have ordered but it hasn’t arrived yet, if it’s anything like this one then I’m sure I’ll love it

   I purchased this on EBay and the seller sent me this product with the new packaging (light blue with lettering) instead the one with the purple kitty, I looked up the expiration date and it is still good. It is supposed to be the same product inside a different (more boring) packaging.
   Anywho, I like this BB cream! Once again, I use BB cream on days my skin feels clogged and tired of high coverage foundations. When I’m just out running errands or studying I always reach for Korean BB creams.
   This BB has a creamy liquid consistency, not runny like others I’ve tried. I got scared when I squeezed the product out of the packaging because it looked darker than my skin tone. I am a light beige (yellow undertoned) skin and this came out a honey tan type of color out of the packaging. Now, when I blended it into my skin the color lightened and adjusted pretty well to my skin tone. It has a pleasant flowery smell (not too strong), and it feels very moisturizing.
   I have oily type skin and a lot of redness and acne scars on my face and this BB covered everything with no effort and set to a powder finish. My skin didn’t feel greasy after using this AT ALL.
   Finally, I won this by bidding on EBay for the cost of $6.50. I now have seen this a lot cheaper from many other sellers ($5.00). You get a full ounce of product and not only does it feel great on the skin, it has sunscreen (SPF 30) in it too. I definitely recommend this if you want to try Korean BB’s for a low price. PS: I might actually like this one better than my SkinFood Peach Sake Pore BB Cream.

   I first wanted to try this bb cream because I’ve heard Korean bb cream are significantly better than any bb creams you can find in North America .
   Pros
   -made skin less oily
   -cured acne significantly
   -no smell
   -smooth
   -conceals redness
   -conceals small blemishes

   cons
   -not a good colour selection
   -too dewy
   -too light
   -makes completion green
   -looks like I’m wearing a lot of makeup
   -makes me look like I’m sick

   the only reason I couldn’t give this product 5/5 is because of the colour . it was far too light on my skin . on my makeup sponge it looked perfect , but once blended it was very apparent i was wearing makeup & it looked 3 shades too light . the Dewiness of the bb cream made me look flushed & a little green . on the third day of wearing it , a friend asked if I was sick . I would recommend this for someone with very fair skin & little to no colour

   I use the blue tube of this brand. I absolutely love it. I have very oily skin (still, at 69!) and find this holds back the oil best. Use sparingly…it covers very well. It has sebum controlling powder in it. Underneath , I use Mizon Pore Tightening lotion, and then Baviphat Goodbye Sebum primer. I buy all these from Cosmeticsmarket2012 on eBay for extremely reasonable prices and almost no shipping charge from Korea. I stay matte all day even in the hot weather. I do personal microdermabrasion and Microneedling for my bad acne scarring, and have begun using their Snail Intensive repair afterwards, as well as my own custom made serum from Skinactives.

   Price:
   This is a very affordable range of BB Creams, at around AU$6 each from ebay sellers in Korea. I love that there are 5 different types for different skin types & needs, but unfortunately they all come in just 1 colour. I don’t think they make sample sachets, and I believe this has to do with their already affordable price. So it’s a cheap gamble to make in order to find out if the 1 shade or the formula will suit you, but a gamble nonetheless.

   Packaging:
   The packaging is a squeeze tube with a twist on cap. There is no pump, but the nozzle has a decent sized opening with a flat top, so it’s very easy to wipe off after dispensing product. It’s also very easy to control how much product is squeezed out, and very secure to travel with as the cap doesn’t just pop off leaving a pump exposed.

   Consistency:
   Very runny, so do be careful not to squeeze out too much. I like to hold the tube horizontally so gravity doesn’t make it fly out, and I can control how much I dispense. You only need a small amount of this to cover your entire face, about half of what a foundation bottle will pump out.

   Application:
   This BB Cream blends out really easily, dries in a reasonable amount of time and sets to a velvety feeling finish on the skin. I had plenty of time to spread it around, blend out the edges and stipple away any streaks before it dried. It is currently Autumn here, so I’m not sure if this would remain tacky in warmer weather. I just used my fingers to apply it, never tried a brush or sponge but I imagine it would apply nicely with either tool due to its liquidity and drying time.

   Coverage:
   I have quite normal skin and don’t have breakouts year round, but tend to get a bit drier in Winter. I don’t have large pores, just pinprick ones on my cheeks, and some fine lines around my eyes. I have fair skin with a mix of light and dark freckles, a little redness around my nose, some red marks from past blemishes and slight undereye circles.

   I found that this BB Cream has a solid medium coverage, it completely covered the redness and darkness but didn’t cover all of my freckles.

   Finish & Wear:
   Here’s where I find this BB Cream to be really strange. It dries down to a satin finish after application but as the day progresses, my skin looks dry and tight all over while simultaneously looking really oily. At first it smoothed over my slightly visible pores and fine lines very nicely, but as the day went on it sunk into them and also began showing pores & fine lines on my forehead that I never even knew were there! My skin didn’t feel dried out although I looked dry, and didn’t feel oily although I looked oily. I have tried this both with and without moisturiser underneath, and with and without powder on top, but nothing seems to make a difference with how it wears. It’s hydrating enough without moisturiser, but feels a lot more comfortable with it.

   Scent:
   Heavily scented with a sweet floral fragrance. It irritated my eyes a little when I applied the BB Cream around them, but didn’t make my eyes water during the day. The smell didn’t completely disappear after application, it subsided a bit once the BB Cream dried but every now and then I would get a whiff and it smelled exactly as it did when first applied.

   Colour:
   Of the 5 Petit BB Creams, I think this one is the darkest (just from what I’ve read, I’ve only tried 3 myself). This is too dark for me, and quite orange. I can buff some pale powder over the top to make it more workable, but even then it’s a little too dark. For an easy universal reference, Revlon Colorstay in Ivory is too dark for me. I think if you can wear Revlon CS in Ivory or Buff, you might be able to wear this.

   I bought this BB Cream not only because of my skin drying out as the weather cools down, but because lots of reviewers said they were “really pale” and it suited them. I can’t stand it when people say “I’m really pale/fair and this matches me perfectly…” but in reality, they can find a match in Western drugstore foundations. Umm no, you are not pale or fair. If you can wear this product, you are Light or Light-Medium.

   OVERALL:
   This BB Cream is not right for my skin in any way. The colour is too dark, it’s not moisturising enough (even though we’re only in Autumn, the temperature is going to drop even more when Winter arrives) and it just looks worse the longer I have it on my skin. I’m not going to bash it and say “don’t buy it, it’s total garbage” because there have been plenty of great reviews on it, but I will say it’s up to you if you want to risk spending the money and waiting for the package to arrive to test it out for yourself.

   Also, I highly recommend an oil cleanser to remove facial makeup, whether it be BB Cream or foundation. Regular makeup removers don’t clear everything away. You can even just use Extra Virgin Olive Oil if you don’t want to purchase an Oil Cleanser. The oil breaks down ALL the makeup on your skin so it washes away leaving no residual product. Please don’t forget to double cleanse (Oil Cleanse to remove the makeup then follow up with your regular cleanser).

   I have tried the green version, for oily skin, in the past. I used it a couple of times, then threw it in the trash. It felt very thick, and was too noticeable in my skin. It accentuate my dry patches, and i didn’t like it at all.

   Moving forward 2 to 3 years, i heard a big hype about this petit bb creams, and thought i could give it a go again… It was cheap so i thought it was worth the gamble,

   This time i chose the moisture version, as i am currently on accutane, and my skin needs extra moisture.

   The texture is very thick and creamy. It takes a while to properly blend it in, as it can leave brush streaks really easily. It feels oily and looks shiny, even with powder on top, which really bothers me. It keeps my face moisturized but i don’t like the texture, and it’s really noticeable on my skin.. Also, it has more of a yellow tone for an asian bb cream, but makes me look really pale. It doesn’t perform really well when i try to mix with my other foundations..

   For me it’s a fail: for both of the color and doesn’t blend properly with the skin. I’m done with asian bb creams.

    This was the first BB cream I ever tried (..I think, it was a long time ago!).

    I thought it was really good back then! The texture was nice to work with and the cream stuck smoothly on my face. I believe it provided good coverage as well.

    Now that I’ve tried more BBs over the years, when I think back about this one it’s no longer that great. When I compare with other brands I’ve used this was very runny and oily.. Although my skin is dry/sensitive it got very shiny and oily after a few hours of wear, even with primer and powder the cream slipped and disappeared from my face.

    I would not buy this again, however I tried another from the series: Essential, which was waay better!
