Product Review: Jazzy Collections BB Cream


I was strolling around SM Megamall Department Store and decided to look around their Watson's Make-up Section to see if I could find some goodies that are new to me. I check all the make-up counters and saw some new and interesting stuff but since I was on a tight budget, I ended up getting only a few items that I would like to try. One of them is this Jazzy Collections BB Cream.

Most of the time, when I just wanted to be polish without wearing too much and heavy make-up, I usually grab BB Creams instead of foundations. This is why I always keep on trying new BB Creams that are out in the market to find the one that really suits my skin type (I have Oily-Combination Skin).
Some important facts about the product:

Price: Php395.00
Availability: SM Department Stores\ Robinsons Department Stores\ Watsons
Weight / Amount of product: 28ml
Shades: 3 shade available (EBB-01, EBB-02,EBB-03)

The packaging is made of soft plastic tube and can be reused once you finished-up the product. I like the fact that the ingredients is listed at the back of the container together with the manufacturer so there is no need to keep the box.
One thing that I noticed is that the container comes with a decent lid but it could have been better if they have placed a pump to lessen the messiness on the lid of the container.
Here is a swatch of the product and how it looks when blended.
Here is a closer look on how it looks on the skin when well-blended.
For my final thoughts about the product, I listed some good and not so good traits I have observed about the product:

Pros:
- Sleek packaging
- handy since it slim and small
- with SPF 30
- consistency is not liquidy
- creamy and blends easily
- evens out the skin
- light to medium coverage
- doesn't feel sticky
- no scent

Cons:
- no pumps
- pricey for the amount of product
- settles on fine lines
- not buildable
- Oil-free lasted only for almost 2 hours. My face became more oily after 4-5 hours.

Verdict: 3 over 5
Best for normal skin with minimal imperfections
For oily-combination skin, best to use a primer and set the product with a good setting powder

Below is my demo on how I applied the Jazzy Collections BB Cream on my face and how it looks like throughout the day.
