Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB SPF 20 PA++ 40ml
Bought at Myeongdong, Seoul
Price: KRW 13,500
The bottle is a thick glass and comes with the sponge.
Let's see what it claims,
I was quite shocked that this cream have 4 types of paraben..ooppsyy
It really looks like a jelly pudding to me.
My Opinion:
Well so many things i can say about this cream. It's actually one of the best BB Cream i have tried so far. It has a semi-matte finish and so easy to blend. I love to apply it using sponge as it will give more natural effects than using my bare hands. Apparently it's because the sponge will absorb some of the liquid. I am more to a natural makeup but in some occasions, i do wear a full makeup. For example, on my graduation day.
I don't know if u can tell or not, but it really shows on my printed studio photos that my skin has sort of like glowing effects on it. This is one of the photo i took from the CD (not printed). I'm not sure is it because of the hot weather or because of the bb cream itself but i think the cream did helps to boost the effect. I'm not an oily type skin. My skin is dry to normal and i guess this cream really does a good job to keep my skin moist.
So to sum up,
Pros:
- Easy to blend
- Fast absorption
- Semi-matte finish
- Medium to full coverage
- Suitable for dry and oily skin
- Skin feel plumper and glowing
- Long power stay especially in hot weather (4-5 hours outside)
- Although the cream is quite thick but it does not feel heavy at all
Cons:
- Not enough SPF especially in a tropical weather (only 20 PA++)
- Have 4 family of Paraben which is the major turnoff (more info in here)
- Strong smell of fragrance
Not much i can say about the cons as it really does not that obvious actually. I will still using this despite the ingredients because of the pleasant feeling towards my skin and after that done is done!

P/S: Review are based on my experience only and it may differ to certain type of skin but of course it is worth to try.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
