REVIEW: Pond's Luminous FinishBB Cream


I'm a big lover of BB Creams for three reasons:
1. It's lightweight 
2. The coverage is great
3. And it's extremely easy/convenient to use
Of course when I saw this at the drug store I definitely had to pick it up and try it out. It's a little cheaper than the Granier BB Cream and offers the similar benefits as other BB Creams. 

The coverage is decent (medium coverage) and it is  build-able, but it's better to not build up the coverage because it can start looking too cakey. It does a great job at evening out my skintone and covering up the redness on my cheeks. I use this product everyday and haven't broken out from it. 

I don't notice my skin getting better or there being any difference, but at the same time I really don't expect it coming from a drugstore BB Cream. When it comes to BB Creams I mainly use it for the three reasons listed up top and I don't mind if I don't see my skin improving. 

The wear time is pretty decent, but I can see it fading towards the end of the day (about 8 hours of wear time). I don't notice a harsh scent to it, but I think some people may not enjoy how long it takes to sink into the skin. I put on my face makeup last; so I'll put on my eye makeup (except mascara) and then I will put on my concealer (NYX Concealer) then this product. After I apply this product, I go back and curl and apply mascara and then go back to powder my face and add bronzer and blush. 

I really do like how long this product lasts (in terms of # of uses), I've been using it almost everyday for about 8-10 months and I still have about 3/4 of the product left! 

This has made it into my holy grail and I'm extremely happy with it. Unlike the Granier, I don't feel myself getting too oily after 3 hours and I like that there isn't much of a scent to it. It's extremely easy to use and I love the coverage and how it looks on me; honestly I end up liking it a lot more throughout the day. I don't notice too much oxidization and the color stays pretty true to what it looks like when you apply it. 

The color range isn't the greatest. If I remember correctly, there were only three different colors, but I'm not sure what the other two look like. 


As usual the pictures are linked to sites here you can purchase the product and if there are any products I should check out please let me know! :]
