Maybelline's BB Cream - Clear Smooth 8-in-1 Review

Yeah, that's just me literally dancing like crazy.
Anyway, here's another review about Maybelline's BB Cream - Clear Smooth 8-in-1~
What's a BB Cream anyway?
BB cream stands for blemish balm, blemish base, beblesh balm (apparently because of a trademark in Korea on the word "blemish"), and in Western markets, beauty balm. It is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia, although larger beauty brands are increasingly introducing BB creams to Western markets. *Thanks Wikipedia for this information. LOL*
I discovered BB Cream few years ago because I idolize lots of Korean artists, mainly those girl groups and some boy groups too. One of those girl groups is Girls Generation, who are awesomely popular worldwide! *geez banana, if you don't know them, where the hell are you?* They use BB Creams to look flawless and smooth skin. I literally envy Korean people because of their skin *T____T* but not all of them =w=
BB Cream also helps moisturize the skin and give that skin glow and fairness. It helps hide blemishes caused by pimples and other imperfections in our faces. It's like magic, it gives you this baby smooth skin and gives that fairness, that's why some call it "The Magic Cream".
To start with the review here's how it looks like:

It's 18mL, and cost me around P250.00 or around (5.00 USD). I bought it from a local drug store (Watsons).

This BB Cream promises to:

•High UV Protection (SPF 26, PA+++)

•Evens skin tone

•Visibly lightens skin tone

•Smooths pores

•Corrects the appearance of dark spots

•More hydrated skin

•Conceals imperfections

•All day coverage, long lasting

 Then here's a swatch to see the color comparison to my skin.

The first photo has flash, the second no flash. Last photo, I blended it already :D You can see that it's not that noticeable but it really did soften my skin. Sorry I dun have a photo with flash with the blended one, it's too bright. *fail photographer ._.*

What I like about this product:

Covers blemishes \o/

Feels light to the skin

Small and Compact (fits in my bag/pouch perfectly)

Easy to blend

Smooths out and makes my skin soft

What I don't like about this product:

It's messy packaging

• It's really important to me that the packaging is clean and mess-proof :/ I think it's a waste of money since the product spills off like this and stick to the cap/cover.
• Not for all skin types, sometimes I have oily face. For oily faces, this cream stays for 2-3 hours only and since Philippines is humid like **** people usually sweat like pigs (LOL) and look like they went out of the pool. I think it's really best to wear this with primer so it'll stay better. For dry skin, it moisturizes your face and keeps the 'dewy' feeling for about 5-6 hours. 
• Have only 2 shades (01 Fresh and 02 Natural) I used natural since I have this "morena" color, I don't want to look like a geisha LOL! More shades for those who have darker complexions =w= not all makeup users are fair and have 'light' skin. We live in a tropical country so some are more "kayumanggi" in color.
• Bit low SPF for tropical countries like Philippines, some BB Creams have SPF50 which is really great. I think this BB Cream should be used indoors =w=
• CAN CAUSE PIMPLES OR IRRITATIONS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN. Yes, I did EMPHASIZE this one because it really did. :( I had 3 zits the next day I used this Maybe you didn't clean your face thoroughly that's why! But no, (yeah that's my other self talking). I just thought of it at first, but the next time I used it, here comes the zit again. Some friend of mine did have irritations caused by this product.

VERDICT!~

COVERAGE- 4.5/5

Good to cover dark spots and blemishes :)

MOISTURIZING FACTOR- 4/5

Did quite a good job for me since the weather nowadays are quite nice. Not too hot, not too cold.

COLOR/SHADE- 3/5

More shades please =w= But yeah, it gave my skin perfect color combination/shade.

HYPO-ALLERGENIC- 2/5

REALLY PISSED ME OFF >w< Pimples after usage. I have sorta sensitive skin but yeah the product is good enough tho. \m/

PRICE- 4.5/5

VERY AFFORDABLE, for students like me.

OVER-ALL VERDICT: 3.5/5

Am I gonna buy this product again? Not now. =w= I have to get rid of the pimples first. I don't hate the product but I just don't like the 'after effect' of it's usage <//3
