I must apologise for the tatty state of the product that I am about to show you,
I normally photograph my products then test them but this time I have done it backwards
and as a result my product looks used and abused.
Oh and I have lost the lid...oops!
Oh and I have lost the lid...oops!
While i'm on the subject of packaging Skin Food Peach Sake Pore BB Cream is a squeeze type
tube that comes with a pump to dispense the product - it also had a funky wooden style lid that
as I mentioned I have somehow lost in the last few days.
The benefits of having a pump and squeeze type bottle are that not only can you control the level of
product dispensed but when you near the end of the product you can use the squeeze function
allowing you to get the very dregs of the product out resulting in less waste!
Skin Food are an elusive bunch aren't they?
This particular product comes with very little claims and basically assumes that one will know what
a BB Cream is and what it should do.
It only claims to suit oily skin or troubled skin (blemishes I'm guessing?), to be light weight,
natural in finish and conceal any imperfections which it truly does.
If you have never experienced an Asian BB Cream then you are in for a treat when you finally do,
let me tell you this one is thick like a high end foundation yet light and creamy on the skin.
It features a light peach type scent that is so faint that even delicate noses will be able to put up with it
and my does it have great coverage without feeling mask like or heavy on the skin.
As it is so thick I had some worries about my oily skin reacting and responding with a break out
but nope nothing of the sort this BB Cream works really well with my oily skin and conceals my blemishes
with such ease that I don't really deem a concealer necessary.
The finish is natural and dewy but it does have a tendency to slip and cling to dry patches
so for the best wear I do suggest priming and setting the skin with a powder because without it Skin Food Peach Sake Pore BB Cream wore for a little over three hours and was just shy of the six hour mark.
The one thing that baffles me is the pore claim, I have enlarged pores and didn't find it to do
anything to the appearance of my pores what so ever?
As always I have included my mole as a reference point in terms of coverage.
Skin Food Peach Sake Pore BB Cream comes in two shades 1 and 2,
I went for 2 and have to admit it is very light in tone no more deeper than an NC20
with an orange undertone so if you are really pale it is worth noting such problem.
Shade 2 is the deepest shade available sadly and it is a good few shades too light for me
but I have been using it as a base then buffing on some bronzer as I really do love the formula.
If they were to add a few more deeper tones to the range I would honestly stock up for this summer
and all the summers left in my life span but as it is an Asian brand I'm guessing deeper tones
are not high on the agenda?
I purchased this from eBay for just under £6 inclusive of postage - link
Funny how BB cream from Asia don't cater for deeper skin tones considering asians have quite tan skin anyway. I tried BB creams before and I found that the darket shade available was FAR too light for me. Boo :(
ReplyDeleteasians are both fair skinned and dark skinned but people with dark skin wish to be fairer so companies prefer to dish out lighter shades of products cos that's what's gonna sell! I myself have light/medium skin but prefer being on the darker side so I just mix my tinted moisturisers/bb creams with a darker shade of foundation- that way I don't have to throw away a product a paid a lot for! Bb creams r so expensive! Ps, This brand is so good! They have stores in Brunei and they have do some amazing Affordable big pots of nail polishes!
DeleteAh, thanks for the explaination. xx
Delete@farzana I feel your pain up until recently the UK only offered light and medium BB creams both of which were too light for me, then out came the deep shades and bam they are too dark haha! I can't win :(
Delete@Chhimi Yes I've read about that, I guess it's similar to pale ladies who use fake tan to become darker? Different strokes for different folks...i'm too lazy to commit to fake tan fully so I just embrace my light/medium skin to same goes for sunbathing haha!
Isn't the whitening effect the most desired one in real Asian BBs. No wonder there are no deeper tones, Asian women prefer to be as light as possible. Unlike Europe/US who like to be ... crispy haha.
ReplyDeleteShade 2 still would seem to be too dark for me though.
You are very right :)
DeleteHaha I know what you mean, it is simply down to preference and the difference in cultures.
They do a lighter shade which may be better suited :)
My shade for this brand is Mushroom, one lighter than this, but I haven't tried yet...
ReplyDeleteThe darkest asian BB creams I know are Missha Perfect Cover in #31 (#13 for the fairest) and I think Lioele also does a dark one, but I'm not sure as I don't need more than a NC15-20 equivalent shade :(
I prefer light formula but medium coverage preferably, this one seems really thick, very high coverage I see :O
Oh you have to it is amazing :)
DeleteThank you so much I shall ebay that later and hopefully find a nice mid toned shade :)
For a BB cream it is very high coverage but generally speaking it comes under the moderate category :)
I have the Skin Food Good Afternoon Honey Black Tea. It doesn't claim to cater to oily skin and I find it tacky :( i wuold love it otherwise!
ReplyDeleteOh! I forgot! I also have shade two, and I don't think it will suit my summer skin tone... I think it's generally a problem with asian BB cream, what with their whitening properties!
ReplyDeleteI don't find this one tacky but there really is nothing worse is there, I'm going to try Mischa next :)
Deleteyes but the shades must be a god send for the paler ladies :)
I would really like to try an asian bb cream, but I don't know how well this would suit my dry skin
ReplyDeletehttp://theredoneblog.blogspot.co.uk/
Honestly? Well this one clings a little to dry patches so I can't fully recommend this to dry skins but if I stumble on one catered to dry skin I shall let you know :)
DeleteI'd love to try this, I have both horrid and wonderful results from my Garnier BB Cream so I may give this along with some others a go :-) Very perculiar packaging with the tube and pump nozzle! xxx

- No breakouts at all
But the problem is I have to find a good powder which can keep oil not shows up on my face. Still testing these routine
BB cream + ELF HD Powder
BB cream + Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
BB cream + Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

ReplyDeletei can see the shade clearly
Dr. Jart bb creams sold in us market (sephora) isn't the same formulas as the ones sold in korea/asia. all are made in korea but all their formula have been changed for the us. such as scent vs no scent, different texture and color.
