Firstly i apologise for the lack of reviews as of late, as some of you know i am currently unemployed and buying new products to review has been quite far back on my priority list!

Secondly, hurray! new products!

Today i will be reviewing the "SKIN79 VIP Gold Super Plus Beblesh Balm BB Cream"
I have been hearing SO many good things about BB creams and what they claim to do - so i finally bit the bullet and decided to go for a authentic Korean brand.

Its worth noting here, that while there are a few genuine western BB creams out there, most of them appear to be nothing more than tinted moisturisers! so if you intend to buy one, do some research first.

Claims:

Gold, Caviar and sweet almond oil provide nutrition deep into the skin
Presents healthy smooth skin texture with ingredients that correct skin balance
Protects the skin with wrinkle improvement + Whitening
Presents rich moisturized skin
Reliable UV protection

Directions:

Use as your last step in your skincare routine and gently pat it after application to melt into the skin.

My experience with it

Upon opening the box, the first thing that i noticed was the awesomely cool looking container it is in, its a pump top jar and its nice and easy to control how much project you squeeze out.

Upon squeezing out a little product onto my hand, i was a little worried at first... as per most products it looked to be a little too dark for me.

If you leave it sat there a little longer, it oxidises and looks to be even darker....

Worry not, things do even out... the consistency feels very thick on my hand, and when thickly swatched across my hand thats apparent (ew, i hate it when my hands get all veiny! anyone else suffer from this?)

I promptly rubbed it and blended it into my hand with my fingers, and voilà! suddenly it does not look as dark!

Pro's

It really did even out my skin
covered my large pores without looking "cakey"
Skin feels smooth and breathable, important for summer heat

Con's

I would say this is a light to medium coverage, so use a concealer for any blemishes.
Its very Dewy, so use a transluscent powder on the top if you dont like shine.
I could of used it a shade ligher, but in the summer its not too noticeable.

All in all, i would reccomend this to anyone who wishes for a light product for the summer months when foundation is too heavy, as for the skin whitening and anti-aging effects - i cant really comment on that as of yet, however i can quite comftably say i am sure it WILL do wonders for me.
