O'Shea Virgin Shea Butter 36.5 Creamy Foundation BB cream Review

I have been testing out some products from O'Shea lately. O'Shea is a Korea-based brand which is known for incorporating shea butter in every product they make. As you know, shea butter is efficient in its moisturizing and healing properties to the skin - that makes the whole of the O'Shea line suitable for damaged, mature, or dry skin. Today I will be sharing my thoughts on their Foundation B.B.

 


This Foundation B.B. infused the coverage of a foundation but has the texture and properties of a Blemish Balm Cream. It's definitely created for days that you feel lazy to slather on bits and bobs of makeup, days that you feel a bit under the weather but still wanted to achieve a flawless complexion. In the gloomy days of Spring which brings loads of drizzles and grey overcast, this is definitely my go-to product. 



The best thing? This product carries SPF 40 protection! Even if the weather is a bit moody lately - drizzles in early morning and sun shining through in the afternoon, this Foundation B.B. have you covered. This product in shade 02 is perfect for my skintone (NC25).



The texture blends easily and offers medium-high coverage:


From my experience, this B.B. Cream did not oxidize throughout the day and does a pretty good job in covering and concealing my pores. I've had redness and uneven skin lately due to what I think was hormonal breakout, and this B.B. Cream had definitely made my skin look smooth and well-rested. This products has my thumbs-ups as I only need to dab a bit of concealer after applying this cream, and I'm pretty much ready to go.


If you're of a paler complexion OR if you wish to have a lighter coverage, you can look at their tinted moisturizer, which I'd be reviewing next. The O'Shea line has a great fan base in Korea, and many top executives of various firms had openly sworn by it as I came across some video on Youtube.

On another note: I have started a blog sale lately, feel free to take a look if anything catches your fancy!

  2. This is pretty promising! I'm also around NC25, which means 02 should work for me! SPF 40 also sounds pretty insanely good as well :)
