Review: BRTC Blemish Recover BB Cream

Nothing beats studying hard all day to find multiple packages filled with beauty goodies awaiting you when you come home.

so i got a few lipsticks from nyx, smashbox, estee lauder, guerlain, urban decay's all night make up setter, tarte's matte waterproof bronzer, epistick, brtc blemish recover cream, and my baby qausar/quasar blue duo! will do reviews as i go when i use them... not too impressed with the lipsticks though since i purchased tehm w/out ever having tried them on (based on other blogger's pictures and review). i must say the estee lauder's cherry blossom is my absolute favorite since i went through a lot of trouble getting that one after reading/seeing akisa's blog.

so BRTC Blemish Recover BB Cream seems to fit the picture for those with oily, blemish prone skin. i've read that it does wonders with coverage and keeping your skin matte and that it was on the darker end of the bb cream spectrum...

verdict: i was shocked at how light it was coming out of the tube...it was a few shades lighter on the back of my palm...i'm an nc25-30 and it looked like ite was nc15 or 20 =(...and it was really thick. more of a toothpaste consistency than a lotion. anyway...it wasn't hard to blend though which is a good thing and i guess the color is ok when you don't use too much of the product. set it with a bronzer and it matches my skin color/tone.

Pro's:
*gives you a matte finish, although i got shiny on my T zone after a few hours, cheeks were ok =)
*felt really smooth after applying on my skin
*minimal to no fragrance
*not as hard to blend as it looks

Con's:
*pretty light color
*thick texture
*oil control is OK, not superb
*coverage is light despite it's thick texture, can still see bumps and darker areas of discoloration

will update on whether it makes acne better/worse
