I 'purchased' this product through the iFabbo store for the purpose of reviewing.
BB Creams have been super popular lately, and have recently made their way into the western beauty market. There is a lot of controversy with western beauty creams, and they're often described by beauty bloggers as "glorified tinted moisturizers". I don't know how true this is, I have yet to delve into the BB cream market other than this particular product (though there are a few I'm looking at buying).
I can say that through experience, and a little bit of research that the Hydroxatone BB Cream is close to the real deal. It meets the criteria of Korean bb creams, BUT, this review isn't about its BB Cream authenticity. So, set aside that mentality, and let's look at the foundation on its own.
I picked the medium shade even though I'm on the light side. It is quite thick, but easy to blend. It has a citrusy scent to it mixed with something else I can't identify. I smell it when I apply it, but it doesn't linger. It claims to be for all skin types, and while I can only speak for myself (oily to combination depending on the day) I think it's suitable for most skin types.
I love the way it feels on the skin. I hate it when foundations feel greasy, sticky, and I can feel it hours after application. The Hydroxatone BB Cream becomes one with my skin, and it feels like it's not even there. It has a natural finish, and is light to medium coverage. It lasts throughout the day, and I don't feel the need to touch up with the concealer. It's not the best at covering my acne problem areas, but I have no problem using a concealer for those areas.
I really do like this BB Cream. I don't feel gross when I have this on, I don't sweat it off (remember, I live in humid Florida, so that is a must).
It comes in five shades; Light, Medium, Tan, Deep Tan, and Dark. It retails for $39 at Ulta.

Have you tried any BB Creams? What do you think of the high end BB Creams vs. drugstore brands? I'm actually excited to start trying out some different brands, I know I'm late on the game. Better late than never, right?
