Pond's White Beauty BB Cream Review

Hello Everyone!

So, this winter my skin was going crazy. Not only was it getting extremely dry but i was also facing breakouts every now and then :( . During summers i was using the Maybelline bb stick, which was doing a fabulous job for me. However it started flaking my skin as winters approached. The month of November was the worst for me, I remember going to various cosmetic stores trying out bb creams for every day use but as the SA would apply the cream my skin would start flaking. 
So one day to my rescue came the lovely Ponds bb cream. I had never used Ponds in my life so i was really scared in the beginning. 

 Price- Rs 125 for 18 gm

 Ponds BB Cream Ingredients: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane,  Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Niacinamide,, Glycerin, Dimethicone Crosspolymer,  Potassium Chloride, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Magnesium Sulphate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Cholesterol, Bisabolol, Perfume, DMDM Hydrantoin, Dimethicone, Sucrose Distearate, Allantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium Edta, Butylene Glycol, bht, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Zingiber Officinale (ginger) Root Extract, (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)

Review- Coming to my experience with the product, this baby is awesome! It blends very easily into the skin and i found that it even photographs well. it contains spf 30 PA++ which protects us from the harmful raise of the sun and ageing.

See, it blends so well! Also this cream provides good coverage and moisturisation throughout the day. However i would not advice you to skip your daily moisturiser. One does need to set this up with powder for it to last longer. For dry skinned beauties this a sure winner. However those with oily skin may not find it apt. but the good news for oily skinned beauties is that you can use it as a primer to make your eyeshadows last longer! One more fact worth noting is that it did not cause me any breakouts. Also it lasts for 3 hours or so. 
You for sure must be convinced regarding how much i adore this bb cream. I bet it can give a run to other high end brands in the bb cream world!  


pros-
  • moisturisation for dry skin
  • good coverage
  • contains spf 30 PA++
  • can be used as an eyeshadow primer as well
  • a little goes a long way
cons-
  • only one shade available
  • needs to be set with powder
  • not suitable for oily skin
  • needs touch ups after 3 hours of application
would i re-purchase? yes, ofcourse..this my 3rd tube already!
