Farmstay All in One Snail BB Cream |Nitty Gritty Reviews

Hi! So around last Wednesday, I received a package from McDell Healthcare products, for me to try out. I am very excited as they are sent for me to review. May ganun na noh? :D Don't worry though cause I will still stay the same for how I review products- sent or not, opinions are still entirely my own and I won't leave anything out. :D So let's get started yes?

The product that I'll be reviewing today is all about the Farmstay All in One Snail BB Cream, which is distributed solely by McDell Healthcare Products and comes all the way from Korea. To know more about what Farmstay is and what wonders snail slime can bring, check out this link.

Nitty Gritty (as taken from the site):

• With snail slime to repair skin


• Dewy “youthful” finish


• Great coverage for pores and fine lines


• Also protects against sun damage


• No strong scents


• For all skin types


• 100% imported from Korea

How to apply

Apply to clean and dry skin. May or may not be covered with foundation or powder.

 

Packaging:


This is housed in a tube that has designs screaming hipster artist. :) Seriously though, I love the art that is encapsulated in the packaging. It has 50 grams of product, and for a tube type packaging, it's pretty easy to get just the right amount of product so extra points for that. Once you buy it it's sealed so you know that what you have is a new product for sure. But of course, you have to make sure that you have the cap tightly sealed after using to prevent spills in your makeup kit. :)

Coverage, Finish and Swatches: 

This bb cream is designed to repair the skin with the help of snail slime, protect the skin from the sun with it's SPF35 PA++, cover up the pores and fine lines and give a dewy youthful glow to the skin.

It has only one skin tone though, and I'm pretty sure that it will fit most fair to medium skin tones. Not sure with the darker ones though...

 Here it is as blended.

And here it is on the left side of one half of my face. As you can see, this BB Cream has sheer coverage and from my experience- it's not buildable, although it did even out my skin tone and made me a bit fairer than usual. :) It is also very easily absorbed by the skin, non sticky unlike other BB Creams that I tried and also gives just the right amount of "glow". Also, BB Creams are great for the summer as it gives sun protection and also serves as a lightweight base instead of a heavy foundation coverage. :)

I used this BB cream for 4-5 days straight, and tested it out on commute and an air con place. For the hot commute, without setting this it can melt off in around 3 hours, so I really recommend setting it properly with powder. I usually use the W.Lab Sebum Out Pact or the Diamond Puff pressed powder (product from japan :D ).

Once properly set, this can give your skin a natural look. You know, the one where it doesn't even look like you have foundation on but you have an even skintone? Yeah, that one. I can say that it did deliver on it's claims of dewy youthful skin and it is a great protection against sun damage, but for the coverage of fine lines and pores it kinda acted more like a primer in that aspect cause this BB Cream as I said has sheer coverage.

Price and Where to Buy:

This sells for 500 Pesos on the McDell Online Shop, or you can get other Farmstay beauty products at BeautyMNL... :)

Overall + Tips and Tricks:

It is something that is worth repurchasing for me, as this is a perfect buy for the summer season with the lightweight feeling it brings and the sun protection. It gives a semi dewy glow to the skin and with just a few swipes of a colored pressed powder or a setting powder you can get that natural "no makeup" makeup look. And if you're concerned with the dark undereyes like me, you can just layer on a light concealer/foundation to help with that.

Another use for this bb cream is to be a stand in for your moisturizer/primer before foundation, as it helps with the evening of the pores and fine lines, and it didn't give me a white cast (flash photography) when I layered it on with my L' Oreal True Match Super Blendable Foundation.

Also, it's better to use a sponge/beauty blender for an even finish, because from my experience, this looks a bit splotchy when used with fingers only.
