I only got 2 sample sachets as freebies from buying The Face Shop Rice Ceramide Toner which I'm gonna review later. I ever mentioned about it in HERE.

One sachet is enough for 4 times usage. I only use little amount every application. Too much would look too white on me.

Price : for 40 gr bottle about IDR 240k, 20 gr IDR 150k in the online shop

See how toughtful Korean Brand to put good effort even to the sample level.

Even the sample sachet has a nice design :)

 And this is the back of the sachet, there is the ingredients list

This is my real bare face (zoomed) >.< I'm not hiding anything
See my huge pores, acne scars/ spots, blemishes, redness, capillaries.
Actually I really shame to show u, but for the sake of this review I did.

This is the finish pic

Sorry for the poor lighting in the pic
Ok, u can see the bb cream could cover the redness, blemishes and most of other imperfections.
Although u can still see some of my pores and darkest spots are not entirely hidden.

I can say that I'm satisfied with the coverage. It's pretty decent imo. And I swear that so far until I made this review, in term of texture, this is the lightest BB cream that I ever tried. The formula is really soft, easy to spread, easy dry and settle on skin, and felt sooo lightweight when it touched my skin. It's water based which I like.

The shade maybe little too white for my skin but it managed to adjust into my tone in some minutes. I like the finish, quite natural, smooth and semi matte imo. I can wear it alone without setting powder.

The oil control is average on me. I have to blot my T-zone area after about 2,5 hours.

It targets all skin type. But I think if u have sensitive skin or ur skin is in sensitive mode, I suggest to cease the usage until ur skin is normalized. This BB cream contains fragrance and silicon derivative that may trigger sensitivity on ur skin.

It has scent on it, some kind of floral mixed with chemical. But I did not get bothered by the scent because it soon would fade away after I applied it.

This BB Cream is semi waterproof I guess. I splashed my face several times and it's still on.

But, unfortunately, this BB cream has bad side. This supposedly last long but it tends to be cakey after 4 hours. I have to blot properly and fix it. It started to oxidize on my face after 4 hours and slowly it kept oxidizing until the end of the day (BB cream is still on for 8 hours but oxidizing, I don't know how to call this kind of staying power >.<). I have oily- combination face and common make up tends to smear easily on me. My skin also considered as 'acidic', means that easy to experience oxidation if wearing face product that does not suit me. I guess in similar skin condition, people with fairer skin than mine may realize it soon than I am and the oxidation may be more noticeable on them.

I gave my second sachet to my mom. She has dry skin and not sensitive. I noticed that it did not oxidize on her. It looked good on her for the whole day. This bb cream lasts longer on her, it could stay more than 6 hours.

Will I buy the full tube? No way. It oxidized on me.

Are u using The Face Shop make up products? Share with me about ur experience, I'd like to know : )
