Skin Food Sweet Potato Veil Balm


While I am mainly focusing on BB creams right now I couldn't resist buying a little pot of Skin Food's Sweet Potato Veil Balm. The name caught me as it sounded like a very interesting product.

This foundation/tinted balm comes in a small glass jar containing 25g which is quite a little but it's not expensive stuff so that's fine.

The Sweet Potato Veil Balm comes in 2 colors: Light and Natural. I picked the lighter one.
It's a thick balmy cream with a nice silky texture and offers decent coverage that's probably buildable if you apply more. However the color (it looks quite yellow-peachy in the jar) is a bit too orange when applied.


The lightly scented cream really spreads nicely and makes my skin feel soft but the color is a bit off.
Also I don't see good staying power and the balm has the tendency to creep into small lines and pores.

All in all I'd safely say you can skip this. It's not a bad product but I'd get a good BB cream instead.

25g jar cost 8300 Won (about US$8) but be prepared to pay more online.
