Snoe BBfied HD-BB Pigment Mix

I had a Snoe haul a few weeks back and since I reached a certain amount of purchase I got their BBfied HD-BB Pigment Mix (Php 799) as a freebie. This, by far, is the most interesting cosmetic product I've come across with. Here's what it says on the box:

"Transform your favorite daily facial cream or lotion into a BB cream, tinted moisturizer, foundation or concealer! Get all the benefits of your favorite skin care products with the coverage of Snoe BBfied! Cover all imperfections such as spots, uneven skin tone, pimples and even under eye circles. Be amazed, be BBfied!"

So, simply put, this is a powder pigment that I can mix with my skin care products and it'll have coverage. It's actually a brilliant idea, especially, ironically, I'm not exactly the type who likes to pile on a lot of product on my face. Besides having a toddler I need to constantly keep up with, the climate in the Philippines just makes it uncomfortable.

So according to the directions on the box: "Custom mix your cream or lotion by applying lotion at BBfied's powder case cover. Sprinkle a little bit of BBfied powder and mix with the spatula that comes with the kt. Keep adding more powder till you get the right coverage. Apply all over face and neck, like you would apply your regular cream. Finish off with Snoe loose powder products."

Product mixed with my gel moisturizer

I got it in the shade X2 Marble, Light with Yellow Undertones. They only have two shades and, unfortunately, the other, X1 Porcelain, only works with light skin tone with pink undertones. I wish they'd come up with a wider range of shades. I can make this product work for me, though, by just setting it with a powder that's in my shade.

I'm not a big fan of the seal on the packaging. It was kind of annoying that it was papery and stuck on the lid. I spent quite some time scratching it off because I didn't want to waste any product.

It's interesting that although this product does not have SPF, one of the ingredients listed is Titanium Dioxide. It does have a brightening effect because it has a white cast due to this component. By the way, I also did try dusting just the pigment onto my face. It didn't work like how I wondered it would. It was quite difficult to blend out.

I actually like this product. Despite of the fact that I need to keep the whole thing, container and spatula and all, constantly clean. It's not as long lasting as a foundation or even a real BB cream, but it's lightweight and you can basically mix it with anything you want to have coverage with. I've mixed this with a primer as well and it worked just as fine. I also like the fact that I can customize the coverage. I can have very light coverage to however much I want.

Product without setting powder. It looks way too light for me. Wet hair, don't care lol.

Product after setting powder. Still looks light, but kind of works because of the yellow undertones. It does oxidize throughout the day and with a dusting of bronzer, hardly looks off.

I would repurchase this product if they come up with a shade that's more a match for me, which I strongly hope for!
