Beauty Loot: Kanebo Freshel White C Mineral BB Cream SPF 41PA ++

Remember that 3 day SM Sta Mesa sale that I went to? I got so many beauty loot that day! Some are repurchases but some like my newest find- Kanebo Freshel White C Mineral BB Cream UV is a gold mine! I got it on sale too for only PhP738.72.

with Kanebo BB Cream

I was impressed when I used it for the first time. I actually applied more than what was necessary and I ended up like a Korean movie star... no kidding! Like no pores and all. Super pore less if there is a word hahaha

Face of the day (FOTD):

  • Kanebo Freshel White C Mineral BB Cream UV in Natural Beige
  • The Body Shop eye definer in Taupe
  • Fanny Serrano lipstick in Tweedia
  • The Color WorkShop Powder Blush 

BB Cream is short for Blemish Balm Cream. According to Wikipedia, it is initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect , soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post laser scars acne and other blemishes. 




Below is the step by step procedure on how I work on the BB Cream on my face:


STEP 1: Apply a small amount of BB Cream on to the palm of your hand.

I have learned my lesson so the photo above shows the usual amount I apply on my entire face.

STEP 2: dot your face and blend the cream well in circular motion. That's it!

You can opt to use a wet sponge or a brush to do the blending. You know me, I can do make up on my entire face without using a single make up brush lol

You can also apply a loose powder or a powder foundation after for a more matte finish. I apply it once during the day before I go out of my house and there is no need for a retouch.

What I like about Kanebo BB Cream:

  • Creamy yet lightweight
  • Unscented
  • Easy to blend
  • No greasy after feel
  • Adjustable coverage- just apply more 
  • Concealer
  • Primer
  • Sunscreen
  • Moisturizer
  • Dewy look
  • Comes in a tube 
  • Not messy
  • Inexpensive

What I don't like:

  •  nothing!

dewy look

My camera can sometimes be deceiving if you can't see the difference. You just have to see me in person! In fact, when my blogger friends- Noemi, Rowena and Michelle met up yesterday in Taibun, Noemi Dado (@momblogger) can't help herself and asked what I applied on my face. She even complimented my skin that day ; p

This sealed the deal of my love affair with Kanebo- Made in Japan.

Kanebo Freshel White C Mineral BB Cream UY comes in 2 shades- Natural Beige and Medium Beige.

Hi Mrs. Martinez I notice you have flawless skin I just want to ask what is your daily skin routine?

Kitten said...

your skin is naturally beautiful, the bb cream makes your face look dewy.

Issa said...

this BB cream looks good on you! you look so fresh! :) nice buy!

MariaKristela said...

Flawless! The BB cream is quite expensive but if it is that good, why not? Ang ganda! :)

*MrsMartinez* said...

@Glenn Encinares Right now, my daily skin routine is simple. I wash my face with a light facial wash. Then follow it up with BB Cream if I am going out. If not, I follow it up with a moisturizer.

@Kitten thanks

@Issa I was pretty surprised actually with the result.

@MariaKristela I think the price is reasonable if it's on sale hehehe

I would just like to say that in the before pic, meaning even before you applied BB cream, mukhang poreless na ang face mo. :)

I should try this, I have oily skin with pores that needs maximum coverage. :)

*MrsMartinez* said...

@Tina grabe I am oily skin too. Kanebo works well for me and my mom na super oily skin din. My face didn't feel heavy and greasy after application. There's this glow talaga after applying it without glitter ah.

Gusto ko nito, ang mura ng bili mo!!!

*MrsMartinez* said...

@Rowena wait mo three day sale bago ka buy then shop on the first day from 10am to 12nn to get the additional 10% discount I got. You can even pay with BDO credit card for the additional 5% discount if you buy PhP5000 worth of products.
