Hada Labo Air BB Cream SPF20 PA++

If you see this post on another site than lotuspalace.blogspot.com it has been stolen and used without my permission. I only allow reposts with proper credits for my work (please contact me first!)!

As always I couldn´t resist this new "BB cream" from Japan, this time from Hada Labo.
I got a tube in the lighter of the 2 available colors from Alphabeautyuk on eBay who states about this product:

"Features
1. A single tube gives you all-in-1 foundation performance plus skincare benefits from the Hada Labo series
2. It helps depress excessive sebum secretion, cover pores & small flaws, and even skintone.
3. It contains hyaluronic acid and collagen for skin nourishment
4. With effective whitening ingredients like arbutin and vitamic C derivatives
5. No fragrance, mineral oil-free. Alcohol-free. Preservative-free.
6. With SPF20 PA++ sunscreen support"

Sounds quite good but unfortunately this BB cream in its plain white tube is a total fail.
First off this stuff has nothing to do with a BB cream. This feels like a pure silicone cream which means it features this weird powdery feeling once you apply it. Furthermore this has zilch coverage, not even the least bit.

As you see on the swatch pic a bit below this stuff has a color like mustard but once applied it is so sheer that there is no color, no coverage, nothing.
I might give this the credit as a silicone makeup primer...it´s decent in this respect but it´s NOT a BB cream. Sorry, Hada Labo, by just writing "BB cream" on the tube it doesn´t morph into one!

This is unscented and I haven´t tried this long enough to determine if it would cause blemishes like many other silicone primers tend to do.

This was also on the pricier side at around US$20.

Rohto Hada-Labo BB Moist Emulsion SPF50+ PA+++ in Light Beige & couple of small hauls

I didn´t order much this month as I am on some sort of low-buy (as I am pretty surely going to Hong Kong early May) but I need my weekly package of happiness so I got couple of small hauls from Adambeauty and Alphabeautyuk/japan_value (both run by the same seller thus shipping could be combined).
The Adambeauty haul contains 2 of my favorites to have back-ups (the MJ and Kiss Me liners) and some other things to try out and the other haul from the eBay seller actually contains only 2 beauty products, band-aids, matcha latte and a really nice contact lens solution & case.


Among my Adambeauty haul was this new Japanese BB Moist Emulsion from Hada-Labo in the lighter color (Light Beige). I actually wanted the cream but it had sold out so I got the emulsion instead.

The 40ml bottle is quite plain and un-cute but practical. The BB Moist Emulsion is like a slightly runny face milk with a pleasant smooth texture and a very good blending ability. My skin feels very soft and moisturized when using this and the sun protection of SPF50+ PA+++ is definitely good.

However my usual problems occurs: the BB Moist Emulsion is way too dark and yellow for me so unfortunately I can not wear it.
 
I didn´t wear it for more than 2 minutes so I can´t tell you how it performs regarding oil-control, oxidisation etc. etc. 


So this gets a nay from me solely due to the color. 
I would normally rate this a 4/5 but now I have to give it a 
Rating of 1/5.
