Where I got it: I got sent this from Shiseido and you can get these at all Shiseido counters from 7th October 2013 for NZD$39.00! I will be giving away this BB cream to one lucky reader so stay tuned to my blog!
What I got: This is a 30g tube of BB cream from Shiseido Moisture Mist. This is a daily all-in-one BB cream that contains SPF40 PA+++. The formula contains pore refining powder, oil-controlling powder and color-correcting powder. This BB cream is only available in one shade, which is more on the neutral tone so it is easy for everyone to wear.
How I find it: BB creams are designed to be applied in place of a moisturiser because it is suppose to be a make-up product and skincare product 2-in-1. After using my Shiseido Ibuki Softening Concentrate, I squeeze about a pea size of this BB cream onto the back of my hand and apply on my face with fingertips. The shade is really good for my skin tone and the coverage is medium that is also build-able to a full coverage. It does have a very typical cosmetics smell to it (a bit old-fashion smell to be honest).
Overall: I love it. I love the texture, the shade and the coverage. It is not super long lasting and oil control is average. I also think that it is essential to have a high SPF and high PA protection (Asian beauty industries are really big on sun protection and whitening of the skin so PA+++ and high SPF is a must in most Asian skincare products). The oil-control was good, but not as high performing as the Double Wear by Estee Lauder (but Double Wear is a foundation, not a BB cream). No skin irritations, minimal oxidation, no break outs.
Purchase? Yes! It is a combination of an effective sunscreen, moisturiser and a medium coverage tint.

It is a new product! I’m not sure if it is released internationally or only for New Zealand market though. 🙂 Thanks for reading!
