[EXCLUSIVE] Review: BEYOND Real Mineral BB Cream & Real Mineral Glow Highlighter

Christmas break has started!
More time at home, more sleep, more TV shows to watch, more fictions to read (not fanfics duh), more chance of savings, and most importantly, more time to finish my assignments....
The unpleasant reality of this so called Christmas break is that we, students, were given tons of irrational assignments that must be finished by new year. Oh I forgot, the worst part is that every subject, I repeat every subject have their own crazy assignments.

Anyway, my Christmas break isn't so awful since I was given a chance to try and review products from Beyond Indonesiaaaaaa ~ !

The products that I have here is a BB cream and Highlighter from the Real Mineral Range. Additional products that I receive are samples of Butterfull Body Lotion that contains argan oil and shea butter, as well as the True Eco Charm Organic First Essence.

The BB cream and Highlighter are the products that I receive from Beyond Indonesia, exclusively for review purpose. While the samples are bonuses from the store.

Let's just start the review! Dum dum dumm...

Beyond Real Mineral BB Cream (SPF37,PA++)

Description

This triple functional mineral BB cream provides a complete cover up on skin while keeping skin moisturized. Natural minerals do not block pores, which allows a healthy environment for sensitive skin. The skin-friendly complex for moisturizing and soothing effect turns skin healthy and soft.

The BB Cream came with a box that were made of recycled paper. As far as I know, the Real Mineral line were the only products that uses recycled paper. This gave me a sophisticated impression of the product line, since it was simple with only the matching colored writings without colorful and cute graphics. 

The product has a soft scent of honey. Well, that's what I think, lol. Since I loved dewy look, I am pretty happy that this BB cream helped me pulling up that look. The BB cream itself brightens my skin and covers the imperfections such as redness, large pores, dark spots and even blemishes.

Below is the before and after pic of how the BB cream looked when applied on my skin. I don't understand why my skin looked so damaged on this picture. Yes, my face is dry, I have redness and also have large pores that pops out like goosebumps. My skin tone is also quite uneven.

I never thought that my skin was as bad as how it looked up there ;A; I guess the camera made it worse, lol

Okay, the BB cream really covers the redness of my skin and made my skin looked smoother. If you look closer, on the bottom right of the before picture I have a dark spot which was 'gone' on the second picture, after I use the product.

✔  Pros

- Really covers the imperfections of my skin (covers redness)

- Dewey finish
- Inculdes SPF37 PA++

- Light texture with great coverage
- Lasting power up to 13 hours. When using a thin layer it may stay for 4 hours.
- Brightens the skin
- Natural finish
- Nice scent
- Doesn't gave me breakouts

✘Cons
- Quite drying
- Only have one color shade

My Rate: ★★★★★ / 4.8



Beyond Real Mineral Glow Highlighter

Description
Luxurious shimmer gloss with fine and glossy powder of a soft pearly highlighter
Soft powder keeps the skin smooth and creates a three-dimensional radiance.

I need the help from Google Translate to translate from the official website, here's what it's translated.

Luxurious shimmer gloss with a fine and a glossy powder of a soft pearly highlighter formulation of the fact that the sheen finish up a healthy sheen flowing. Powder is close fitting skin soft, thin skin and keeps a long time to make a smooth three-dimensional radiance.

I absolutely love the black packaging of the highlighter. Not only that it has a wide mirror, it also have a separator to keep the sponge from the highlighter. Sometimes I feel like all these physical features are too good for a highlighter, lol. 

I usually use a brush for application instead of using the provided sponge. I just feel better when using a brush. So yeah, I can't give much details about the sponge. However, one thing I know is that the sponge is really soft and I just wanna keep it clean.... pmsl

✔ Pros
- Great packaging
- Travel friendly
- Gives the right kind of glow

✘Cons
- Average lasting power
- Might not really visible - depending on the situation (place, current face makeup, etc)

My Rate: ★★★★☆ / 4.2
