Fairy Drops Candy Bar BB cream Review + video


Hello~

Today I wanted to share my review on Fairy Drops Candy Bar BB cream :) 
Ever since I used this bb cream on my Alice tutorial, I have gotten tons of questions regarding this bb cream and its performance so I wanted to share what I think of this bb cream and how it works! I also managed to make a video review so that you can get a better idea of what it looks like in action~★

Fairydrops Candy Bar BB Cream was produced by Mayumi Yasutomo, a newscaster, who desired to have a product that made her skin look flawless while on camera. This shine-free, oil-free and waterproof product was the perfect solution. The product itself is a lightweight formula allowing you to apply the amount of layer you would like without feeling like your skin is being weighed down. Micro- gold pearl hides scars and freckles. Soft focus powder uses light diffusion not to show wrinkles and makes skin smooth. Cover with thin film, and protect from dry and rough skin.

Alittle bit more info:
This bb creams comes with its own sponge applicator that is detachable so that you can wash the sponge applicator. I really like this idea since its great for people that are on the go that dont have much time in applying makeup, goes on evenly and efficiently.

What I think?
Well having a weird oily/super sensitive skin that hates most traditional foundation I am always wary of trying out new item for my skin but I was excited to try this bb cream since after dabbing some on my hands this bb cream matched my skin tone well without the grey undertone most bb cream seem to have, its also not overly oily like most bb cream seems to be so it does go on somewhat semi matte! This bb claims to have micro gold pearl in this bb cream formula but they are so fine and micro that you dont even see them~ its not sparkly or anything like that which I appreciate but it does give off healthy flawless natural glow which is another plus in my book :D

Another major plus is that with having an oily skin, at the end of the day I seems to look like an oily shiny mess with most bb creams but this bb cream seems to control my oils better~ After wearing this for good 2 weeks I can see that this bb cream stays on my face without slipping around on my face and my T-zone look less oily at the end of the day, oh and another major plus: This bb cream did not break me out! yay~ :)

some tips with this bb cream:
If you try to squeeze the contents from the hole on the sponge sometimes it spits it out making a mess so its better to uncap and squeeze an amount on your hands, use the back of your hand as a palette and just dab the sponge on your hand and apply~

But there are some negatives:
I dont think bb cream contain any SPF??? I didnt see it on its packaging or anywhere online it says anything about it containing SPF,,, =_=;; Another thing, I have to say this bb cream are pretty expensive it is 2730 yen which is about $35US that is pretty expensive for drugstore brand and also most bb cream size contents are 50g but this one is only 35g :( I truly wish Japanese products gave more products, most are just too small and there is not a bang for your bucks... I feel that this is ONE of major flaws with Japanese beauty products. So if any Japanese cosmetic companies see this PLEASE make your products with a bigger contents! D;    

Overall:
I give this bb cream 4/5 ☆★★★★ 
-☆ star cause there is no SPF and expensive for its size :P


screen caps from the video below~


starting with a bare skin with all the flaws: sun spots, dark panda circles, redness around nose, acne scars
you can see that the Fairy Drops bb cream covered all my flaws :D
Left side without and Right side with bb cream
Finished with a healthy glow! :)


Well that was it for this post! I hope you enjoyed this review and got a better idea of this bb cream~☆

XOXO

  7. Great review! I still haven't tried bb cream because of the small colour selections and I prefer matte over "dewy" finishes. But this makes your skin look super healthy.

  20. Like that it gives that natural flawless look and that it has an applicator and a cute packaging. But I don't like that it doesn't have an SPF.

  21. Woaah! Those results are truly amazing. The small packaging thing is so true! Even in America, package sizes are going down and prices are going up for drugstore products. It kind of makes it seem as if it's better to buy from the counter.

    :( BB Cream reviews always make me wish that they made them in darker tones.

  22. Looks amazing woa ! i hope they will make more products like that

  23. It covers so well!! I was so surprised! :O

    ReplyDelete
  24. ooh! Was waiting for you to do the blog post about it after seeing the video. Might have to pick this one up but it is pretty expensive for the size :(

    Just thinking about it having so SPF, it says it was created to hold up in front of cameras and the like, but using SPF products in front of lots of bright lights and flash photography will often make the product 'bounce off' the light and make the wearer look like a ghost!

    ReplyDelete
  25. It's good that the sponge can be removed and cleaned! Great packaging totally want to try this out.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Great review! It has such great coverage. I was wondering how long one tube of fairydrops bb cream will last if used everyday? I really wanna try it but it's soo expensive D:, gotta start saving up!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Thanks for the review :) after I saw you use it in your Alice tutorial I was like OMG it looks so freaking amazing and immediately went to prettyandcute to look it up... it's so expensive =( and small and no SPF like you said... T____T

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think the reason why this doesn't have SPF is because it was meant for use under CAMERA LIGHTS. SPF tends to reflect a lot of light and makes your skin look lighter than it actually is under bright light (during photography or filming). Since it was made for filming, SPF would reflect too much light. I actually like the fact that it doesn't have SPF cuz it doesn't make you look paste-y white under the sun. And If I want extra SPF I can always just use my moisturizer :P Thanks for the review!

  29. i checked the ingredients and it doesn't seem to be oil-free. it's probably mineral oil free but not completely oil free. i'm pretty anal about this as my dermatologist recommended that i stay away from foundation with oil in them. it's a pity becuase i was excited to finally find an oil free BB cream.

  36. good review!  but i don't think of it not having spf as a 'con' - in fact, this is my go-to bb cream for when going out at night because when you use spf on your face at night it tends to show in pictures with flashes (don't really want the extra shine).

    ReplyDelete
  37. I went to every Japanese n korean cosmetics store around Sydney.. They don't have it yet i think... T^T but I really wanna try this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where can I buy this product???

    ReplyDelete
  38. How do I work this? I can never make the BB on the sponge last as long as you make it seem. I find myself constantly putting more on the sponge. (Also, I think I broke mine... I set it on its side, and it started dripping. So I put it up straight, and it still came out of the top. Suggestions?)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Purchase it online from Pretty and Cute website!! I have just purchased mine and started using it today and it is excellent! I have been looking around for a nice BB cream that is not too greasy and is not TOO FAIR for my olive skin! OMG i am so in love with this. I purchase the one in Orcher and it matches my skin PERFECTLY!
    ONLY 2 negative points: FIRST, the NO SPF!!! i really hope they make it with SPF in the future because I will purchase it in a heart beat!!!!! SECOND, so damn expensive!! OMG!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. It's good to have BB Creams out there that don't have SPF. They can be used for nighttime only when photography action takes place. SPF application makes the skin look much whiter. We don't want a floating ghost face, don't we? It really is unfortunate that it's expensive for such a small amount of product.
