BB means Blemis Balm its primarily made for acne prone skin to prevent breakouts and to minimize pore size and yes it originally came from Korea. So now you know why most Koreans pop stars have flawless complexion.
Anywya, I was scouting my favorite beauty store one day when I spotted the Maybelline Clean Smooth Minerals B.B. Cream (Maybelline’s BB Cream or Maybelline’s 8-in-1 BB Cream) on display and I immediately grabbed one for a trial.
Packaging
I got the 18ml size, a perfect size for those who are doing product testing and reviews and those who want to find the best product for them. At less than Php299.00 its very affordable. I love the metallic green color. Its in an easy squeeze tube that you can make it stand by its cap. The nozzles were sized just right so you don’t have to worry about squeezing too much.
The Product
Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals Instant Skin Perfection Cream / B.B. Cream is made to brighten the face, even out the skin, covers skin imperfections, moisturize the skin, protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun because it has SPF26/PA+++
“It is a perfect blend of 8 mineral ingredients. The unique earth color shade instantly improves and perfects your skin.”( info lifted from the packaging info)
Maybelline’s 8 Healthy Mineral Ingredients are:
- Copper
- Zinc
- Magnesium
- Sodium
- Titanium
- and 3 Iron Oxides
Maybelline Clear Smoth Minerals BB Cream
Its in liquid foundation form and not really cream. Make sure you apply moisturizer before use so it will spread out evenly because if you don’t you will have to apply more of the BB cream to get an even coverage. You will have wait for a minute or two for the your skin to absorb it and it adapts to your natural skin color.

8 things I love about the Maybelline BB Cream?
- It doesn’t leave the skin glossy/ shinny/ shimmering while you have it on for our unlike other BB creams I’ve tried
- It evens out the skin color making your skin look flawless
- I love how moisturized my skin feels I’ve been complimented as glowing while I have it on couple times already. It really does brightens up the face
- It doesn’t have any cosmetic aroma
- It looks good on cam! Now I am always photo ready and photo perfect!
- It has SPF26/PA+++ much more than the recommended SPF15 for moderate sun exposure
- Its very affordable
- It has visible lightening / whitening effect!
Do I recommend this product?
One of the things I look for a makeup, especially when it comes to BB creams, face powder or cake foundation is that it looks good on and off the camera since I love my photos taken. If it doesn’t look cakey or doesn’t show and blotches of the powder or the makeup then its good . Maybelline BB cream makes my skin look nice photographed and not so I definitely recommend this.
I was wearing Maybelline BB Cream during the Bum Colar Up Collection launch and the Heaven Ice Cream launch and I think I look good with it the photo shows my flawless skin (no pun intended) and I don’t even have to go in the powder room for a retouch.
