Review Of ZA Total Hydration BB Cream SPF 43 UV +++

As mentioned in my 2013 BB cream wish list, i have been looking for a new BB cream to try out since finishing my Ettusais Mineral BB cream. I was thinking of getting the new Clarins BB cream which is an extension of their hugely popular UV Plus HP sunscreen series. However i decided to get the ZA BB cream instead after reading the March 2013 issue of Her World magazine and that it had won the Editor's choice for Best BB cream. I was curious if it works as well or even better than the BB cream from the higher end beauty brands.

The ZA BB cream retails for only S$15.90 for a 20 ml tube. The BB cream in my wish lists are much more expensive and i would rather try a sample first before purchasing it. I had gotten samples of BB cream from Clarins, Kiehl and Philosophy while i was at Tangs Orchard stocking up on some skincare products last month before giving birth but have not gotten the time to try the samples as i'm busy taking care of my baby boy and also seriously sleep deprived from all the night feedings. I tried out the ZA BB cream several times last month and read on for my review of it. I will try to share my thoughts on the other BB cream when i managed to squeeze in some time to blog while baby is sleeping.

I always finds it a joy when i discovers a good quality drugstore brand beauty products that is easy on the wallet and works equally well compared to higher end beauty brands which are more costly and might not always work on my skin :) I'm glad i have discovered alot of quality drugstore brand beauty products via sponsorship opportunities given to me through my blog and hope to share more of such products with readers.

I got a really good deal while i was at Watsons awhile back as they were having 20% discount for selected ZA products  + additional 5% discount for members. I only paid S$12.08 after discount for the BB cream and ended up paying S$7.05 after deducting S$5 using my Watsons points :) Thats why i love shopping for my favorite drugstore brand beauty products at Watsons and being a member as it gives me numerous benefits and savings ;)

Now read on for more information about the product and my review :)

Product Information Of ZA BB Cream

This power-packed BB cream features a total of 12 benefits in one tube, promises adequate hydration and even boasts sunscreen properties. It contains sebum-absorbing powder which helps keep shine at bay while making use of a Vitamin B derivative to give your skin that radiance and glow. This first BB cream by ZA was introduced last year and boosts foundation coverage. It also contains amino mineral complex, which is said to deeply moisturise and reinforce the skin’s protective barrier. The SPF 43 rating firmly protects your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, with the cream being tested by dermatologists to be non-pore clogging.

Ingredient lists

Perfect for use as a makeup base or as your foundation, the cream contains a Poreless Powder, which is said to diffuse light and minimise the look of pores on your skin. The Colour Control powder reportedly corrects dullness, and uneven skin, to give a natural-looking finish while the Oil Control Powder allows the cream to be spread evenly and effortlessly on the skin.

My Review

I love the simple packaging of the product and the small size fits easily into my makeup pouch and is easy to carry around. The product is made in Taiwan and comes in only 1 shade. I was initially worried that it would be too dark for my skin tone as i'm quite fair but i was really pleased with the results after applying the BB cream which gives me a natural and radiant look. It is perfect for those who prefers light makeup and feels comfortable on my skin and is even better than the Ettusais BB cream which is more suitable for those with combination and oily skin. The ZA BB cream should be suitable for all skin types.

I also love its light flora scent and lightweight texture which absorbs easily onto my skin making application a breeze. It provides decent oil control and medium coverage and i can just go out after applying the BB cream. Overall this product is really value for money and a great find for me. It also did not irritate my skin and i would highly recommend this product to readers who wish to save money on their beauty products and students on a tight budget. ZA has also introduced a new Whitening BB Cream and i can't wait to try it out soon. Do share your thoughts on the new BB cream if you have tried it.
