Etude House Precious Mineral BB Dation Review

This BB Dation is a part of Etude House's Precious Mineral line. So far, I'm impressed with all the other BB creams in this line. 
BB Dation is quite an odd name. This product is supposed to be a combination between bb cream and a foundation. So basically, instead of having the sheer coverage of most bb cream, you get a better coverage with this one. 
 

As usual I like to begin by describing the packaging. Lol a product's packaging is really exciting for me! It is housed in a 30g transparent bottle that comes with a vacuum pump. I find it more convenient that this bottle sits upright instead of upsidedown like how most bb creams are packaged.


Notice how the vacuum pump pushes the product up efficiently so there's no wastage

Mine is in the shade W13 (Natural Beige)

It has a slightly creamy consistency and it doesn't feel too thick, but not too thin either. It only has a faint fragrance which is fine with me. When I first tried this product, I really didn't like it because I find that this bb cream is so difficult to blend with fingers. I put it away for months until I decided that I should try to use it up. When I tried it again with an angled foundation brush, the result was better thank goodness.
Apart from that, the product also takes its sweet time to settle on my skin. A little goes a long way for this product and since it contains SPF, it may also cause a whitecast. You don't wanna overapply and end up looking like a geisha. However, the coverage is quite good and it's suitable for daytime use. 


Pros: 
  • SPF40 - suitable for daytime use
  • Good coverage
  • Vacuum pump
Cons:
  • Difficult to blend
  • Causes whitecast
  • Takes a while to settle
Rating: 3.5/5
Price: BND 33.90~36.90 (I forgot!! >.<)
