HanSkin Mineral Magic Moisture B.B. SPF30 PA++

Since trying Hanskin Super Light Touch BB SPF30 PA++, I was so impressed I bought several other 10mL tubes of Hanskin bb creams to try. This Mineral Magic Moisture B.B. SPF30 PA++ is among those, although unfortunately it looks like this bb cream has been discontinued. Hanskin is downsizing their bb creams lineup, which is a good thing because, well, have you seen their lineup? It's ginormous!!! At the same time, some great stuff is getting axed, and that includes this one :(

This bb cream is unscented, and unlike many other bb creams I've tried this one has sheer coverage with some translucency in the finish. For a bb cream it's exceptionally light in texture, which makes application super easy. I'd really have to slather this stuff on to overdo it, which really helps a clumsy goof like me ^.^ The down side, of course, is the sheer coverage, so it's not so great as a concealer and is much better as a brightener/highlighter. Whenever I want the no-makeup makeup look I go for this. As with other Hanskin bb creams, this one stays put once on and does not crease settle into fine lines.

I actually quite like this and am sad it's being discontinued. But since the makeup world isn't going to run out of bb creams anytime soon, I elected not to get a back up.
