REVIEW: 4U2's DREAM GIRL LOVE PINK: Faith BB Cream and Lovelight BB Powder SPF PA++

Hey. I'm back. Sorry it took me long time to make another review.

I'm never this excited to make a review about 4U2's products. What  interests me in purchasing this product is because of the influence of my good friend Mitch, a high school friend and my mentor in this blogging thing, check out her blogs mitchiekyuti. I've read a good review about this product in her blog entries (check the blog here) and knowing it won't costs me high in purchasing this product, I decided that why won't I give it a try. I never had a BB Cream (although many of beauty bloggers recommend of using one instead of a liquid foundation), I'm still not decided before if I will purchase one or not because what I want in a make-up is the full coverage effect on my face (I have blemishes that I need to cover) and having lots of liquid foundation on my make up kit, I think it's a waste to buy one. So while my son is having his Judo classes in Technofit Tutuban, I accidentally dropped by in Watson's and saw the 4U2's products being displayed near the entrance. I immediately picked out these products to see if it's worth to have those in my beauty kit.

4U2 DREAMGIRL FAITH BB CREAM

This is my first BB Cream and I'm glad I purchased this one. It only comes with one shade (universal shade) that blends easily with the BB Powder of the same product name. It weigh around 30 ml. I apply this one using my fingers as my skin easily absorbs it.

BB Cream Pros and Cons:
PROS:
- Easy to apply, easy to wear.
- What I love about this product is since I'm suffering from an oily skin, I don't feel oily at all, and I don't perspire that much.
- Base on my personal experience, I don't need to retouch.
- it smells good
- applying too much of this product on your face won't give you a cakey finish unlike to liquid foundation does to your face.
- its very light you can barely feel you're wearing something on your face
- I don't need to put on a concealer on my eye area and other blemish/dark spots/acne to cover it
- The container size fits perfectly to your pocket so you can bring it anywhere
- it comes with an expiration date
- Price wise: it costs me around 184 pesos.
CONS:
- Since this one have only one shade to offer, applying this alone (without the BB Powder), I would definitely look like stupid as this one when applied on my face is very light (or whiter) than my usual skin color. (the reason I haven't tried this alone, must apply it with the BB powder to match it with my skin color)

*I haven't tried this product without the powder on so all reviews are based on having this one and bb powder both on my face.

4U2 DREAMGIRL LOVELIGHT BB POWDER SPF 15 PA ++

I never heard of BB Powder and if it wasn't for Mitchie, I will still be clueless up to now. This product is a heaven for me, and yeah, I'm willing to trade my other make up powder for this one. It weighs around 7g and the powder comes in a compact size, with sponge and a mirror so this product is always on the go.

BB Powder Pros and Cons:
PROS:
- The shade matches perfectly on my skin complexion
- Like what I've said earlier, I don't have to put on a concealer to cover some of my facial impurities.
- With its compact size, yeah you can bring it anywhere that it can fit to your pocket perfectly. It comes with a mirror so you can do retouching anytime, anywhere.
- No retouching (I usually do some retouching when my skin gets oily or when the powder washed off when I perspire too much)
- doesn't give you a cakey finish
- it blends well with the bb cream of the same product name
- what it says in the packaging is it has SPF 15 which is a must have for morning make up.
- smooth finish
- it comes with an expiration date
- Price wise: it costs me around 194 pesos.
CONS:
- It only comes with three shades to offer so if you're very particular with the shade color, you'll get a bit disappointed. (luckily, shade #3 matches my skin color)
- If I'll be very particular with my facial impurities, I think I'll be needing the BB Cream underneath.

*I've tried this product without the BB cream on but I still prefer to use the both of them. Never tried this using a liquid foundation of another product.

EFFECT:

Looking at my fingers as my natural skin color, you can see that the BB cream itself is way too lighter than my natural skin color, and applying the bb cream then the bb powder, it now matches perfectly with my complexion.

I will definitely purchase again and I highly recommend this product. By the way, I heard this product sells like pancakes so if you spot one make sure you buy 2!

Rating it from 1-5 (1 lowest and 5 being the highest), I gave 4U2 BB Cream a grade of 4.5-5 (I can't really decide, haha, so there's a bracket) and the 4U2 BB Powder a perfect score of 5.

I hope my review will help you in purchasing the right product.

With Love.
