Iloje Flobu Konad BB Cream Review

Iloje Flobu Konad BB Cream

What is a BB cream?

BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm, is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia.

Originally formulated in Germany by Dr. med. Christine Schrammek,it was initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes.

BB creams come in a variety of different formulations and qualities. Some are said to have skin whitening or brightening properties. Others are anti-acne, some are anti-wrinkle, some are intended to even out skin tone, and yet others to lighten blemish scars. BB creams are sometimes used like a primer under foundation, and if tinted may even replace foundation and some newer ones will have functions of primer, foundation, moisturizer, sun block, pore minimization and skin refining together which can save time and money in make-up.

Brands on the market aside others include BRTC – Bio Remedies Therapeutic Cosmetic, Dr. Jart, Lioele, Skin Food, The Face Shop, Missha and SKIN79.

In recent years BB cream has gained a huge following for its skin-regenerating functions and is now also widely used in Asia to provide natural-looking skin coverage. The fact that BB cream is often named the “the secret of Korean actresses” gained it huge exposure in Asian markets.

So basically its a skincare/healing product combined with makeup..and so it works as a great everyday base.

MRP: Rs.950/- for 50g

It comes in a normal tube packaging and the consistency is medium..almost the same as a tinted moisturiser..but you need very little quantity of this comparatively as its spreads along and covers more area..if you get it..but the problem with this is, you need to blend and blend coz of the whitish/greyish cast it gives..like most BB creams..as they also contain sunscreen properties i.e Titanium Dioxide and few other Ingredients.

See the little whitish cast..but also the dewiness

Pros:

1. Works great in evening out the skin tone.
2. Gives a nice dewy finish.
3. Combines hydration,sunscreen and foundation..so using only this would be enough for people who do not need much coverage.
4. Its cheaper than most other BB creams out there…when shipped to India.
5. Tube packaging is easy to use.
6. You need just a little..as less is more with this…so it lasts quiet long.

Cons:

1. You need to blend and blend to lessen the whitish cast.
2. Only one shade available..it would not suit tan/olive skin tones and the whitish cast might make them look ghastly..there should be more shades in this.
3. Its not travel friendly..once I carried it along..and the product oozed out in the cap even with slightest pressure.
4. Availability might be an issue.
5. Oily skinned girls might need to set it with powder..especially on the T zone coz of its dewiness.

Overall I quite liked it..and is a good everyday base which helps even out skin tone and gives a dewy finish.

You can buy Konad makeup, Konad nail art and other stuff from nailsandbeauty.in. It offers free shipping and cash on delivery in India…and if you are a nail art lover, you would love this for sure !!
