EDIT: BB cream Review: Legere Water Drop Shiny Pearl bb cream

Hey everyone, it's been a while again...I know I haven't been posting much lately. Lately I haven't felt like posting or doing anything w/ this blog. Just spent a lot of time w/ family and making some time for myself. Since it's a new week I decided that I'd post a bb cream review up, so here it is ladies.

Legere Water Drop Shiny Pearl BB Cream Oil-Free
hey everyone just received a comment letting me know that the image of the bb cream below isn't the legere one and that it's one for Skin79. Sorry for that, didn't even realize/catch that mistake. I got another image up that has the legere bb cream now. When you compare them two together they look very similar besides the fact that one says Skin79 and the other says Legere on the bottem.

Comparing Pink bottle to Original bottle
Slightly blended, bb creams in process of drying





For reference: During the time that I used this bb cream my skin has been a bit more dry when I was testing the bb cream out due to the cool/cold/dry/windy weather. Blemishes here and there but nothing severe and a little blemish scar/mark, like always it been due to stress. I'm still the shade of NC25 in MAC select sheer powder.

Ratings:
-Packaging: ??
Reason: Can't rate on the packaging since I haven't seen it in person. It's probably just like the White Multi bb cream but smaller seeing that it contains 35g instead of 50g.

-Product: 3/5
Reason: This bb cream feels more like gel than cream compared to the original. It drys faster compared to again the original but glides on very smooth, had to blend this bb cream on quickly so it would blend evenly. This bb cream is the darkest I've tried. This bb cream has sparkle/shimmers in it, the pictures show some of it. Under a certain lighting though you have see a lot of shimmer though. The smell reminds of me of the original but it's more light/soft, and the color has more of a pink undertone to it compared to White Multi bb cream. It didn't match my skin tone exactly, it was just slightly darker but hardly/barely noticeable. It's pretty sheer in coverage, I needed to use another product to cover up imperfections. This bb cream feels like nothing when I used it, felt like I was wearing nothing at all.

-Overall: 3/5
Reason: It's okay in my opinion, it was too shimmer/sparkle for my taste. I wish they made the shimmers more finer and put in a little less. The color again was just a tad darker for me but I don't mind that. Little goes on a long way but you only get 35g of product while the original has 50g, the hot pink bottle is cute though. It's great that it's oil-free and feels like I'm wearing nothing, I love the fact that it's very sheer. The feel of the bb cream is nice but it drys a little to quick for me. Gotta make sure that you blend this bb cream in well and evenly enough so there won't be any harsh lines. The ingredients for this product confuses me, it's suppose to be oil free but it contains Jojoba oil in it, doesn't make sense does it? The product contains some parabens which isn't what a lot of people want to have in the products that they use.

-Recommend?: Yes and no, I think this product would work for someone who matches NC/NW30-37 and is wanting a bb cream that has shimmer in it for that luminous effect who also doesn't need alot of coverage. I don't think anyone little then NC/NW20 should try this product. Also if you have rough skin, pits, lines, bumps/blemishes, etc. the original would be better, due to the shimmers in this product it would just make the rough skin, pits, lines, blemishes, etc. more noticeable. Probably a good bb cream to use when going out during the night.
-if you're interested the price is $24.69 plus $1.99 for shipping, total $26.68 (At the moment 5% is discounted from the original price at The Japanese Products Lover store on Ebay.)

-Buy?: No, this bb cream isn't for me. It's too shimmery and I don't want my whole face to shimmer like crazy. I prefer the original to this one. It was great to try and test, I would like to thank J for sending the bb cream for me to try before I make any decision on buying it or not. Glad I saved some $moolla$.

Didn't have much to write about on this one, it wasn't the worst yet not the best or anyway near the best for me. It an average bb cream just it has shimmer, feels more like gel and is darker then most bb creams.

Hoped it was helpful, got two more bb cream reviews coming up and then instead of just comparing the first 4 bb creams I did reviews for I'll compare all the bb creams I've done reviews for. K, that's all for now. Hope you all had a nice weekend and a wonderful Monday night. Next post will be another bb cream review.
