Okay I know what you are thinking, “so after a million reminders she is finally in a mood to review it!” Okay I know I got my hands on it way back in August but I wanted to give it every little chance it deserved before bashing it up on my blog. Since this was my very first BB cream and if you follow me on facebook, you know how very much I wanted needed a BB cream in my life. All I would think about was BB creams, it was my crush, obsession, object of fixation..whatever you call it. Okay before I start sounding like I was looking for a relationship with it, let’s move to the review ans swatches.
It claims: A triple function blemish balm cream that shields skin from premature aging with potent SPF 25, while whitening skin and reducing existing lines and wrinkles. The creamy formula effectively covers up skin imperfections, creating a perfect base for makeup and foundation. Skin feels and looks fresh, with a gorgeous matte finish all day long.
Price: Rs.1500 ($29)

So my issues with this BB cream are:
~shade
~coverage
~texture
Hence I don’t recommend it. I can adjust with the texture and coverage but the shade match is something I cannot compromise with.
But if you are still keen on buying this one, then make sure you fall somewhere around NC/NW 25. And I hope you have read my post on How to know if your Skin79 Super+ BB Cream is authentic or fake?
By the way, they have a gold and orange label too. The gold one is a tiny bit darker than this one. The orange one I’ll review later(have to test first!). And I’m currently liking Skin Food and Missha a lot. Reviews will follow soon.
