Review: Baby Pink BB Pressed Powder

Since I last reviewed the Baby Pink BB Mineral Cream, I decided to also review a counterpart product I got at the same time which is the Baby Pink BB Pressed Powder.

The packaging is similar to the BB cream and uses the same, cute design and color scheme. Unlike the BB cream though, this one offers 5 benefits and is supposed to be a makeup base, concealer, foundation, finishing powder, and has UV protection. SPF 20 PA++ of protection, to be exact. I'm not quite sure how this powder will act as a 'makeup base' though because well...it's a powder, and I've never heard of a pressed powder being used under makeup.

Anyway, the powder contains witch hazel and grapefruit extracts that are supposed to tighten skin, collagen and Lipidure to moisturize, and hyaluronic-acid-coated powder to keep your skin hydrated. Its micro-fine powder formulation also has a light-diffusing effect that fills in pores to blur imperfections and give you a smooth, baby-like complexion (product info from ratzillacosme).

The compact is equally cute and tiny! It's not only small enough to slip into your makeup kit, but even your pocket. It definitely looks like the perfect powder to bring along for touch-ups.

Baby Pink BB Mineral Cream

When I was in Hong Kong earlier this year, I naturally did a small beauty haul. Most of the stuff I picked up was from Sasa, a really popular store where you can buy tons of makeup and skincare products. One of the things I bought is the Baby Pink BB Mineral Cream ($89HKD).

I adore the packaging. I think it's super cute and I have a strange affinity for things with babies' faces on them, I don't know why! Most of the info is written in Japanese, unfortunately, so I can't give a full product description but basically it's an 8-in-1 BB cream that acts as a milky lotion, essence, cream, UV protection, makeup base, concealer, foundation, and finishing powder altogether.

It's also supposed to absorb excess oil to help your makeup last longer, reflect light to make your pores appear smaller, even out skin tone, and contains 79.4% of essence that hydrates your skin and gives it more radiance. It also has SPF35 PA+++ which is more than sufficient sun protection, I think.
