Another Sleek! Wow this is becoming a pattern...no really, I just took a bunch of photos so I decided to swatch them and review them for researching purposes : )

This BB cream is much like the newer BB cream formulas. It's got q very thick, dense consistency and at times it can be difficult to squeeze out of the tube. It claims to conceal, repair, protect and provide full coverage. It has an SPF of 15, which is great.
(Keeping in mind that that SPF of 15 is by UK standards, so here in Australia it may not get any sort of rating on the SPF as our standards do vary to the UK.)

I cannot say much for the repairing or fixing properties as I have not yet seen a HUGE difference in my skin, but I can say that this is one of the thickest, most full coverage BB creams out there in the Western market.

The shade I got, in Light, is far too dark for even MY skin tone. I bought this when it was the end of winter so my skin was very pale as it was. As this does OXIDIZE quite quickly, I would definitely search swatches online or play it safe by going a shade lighter. You can always use a bronzer or darker powder if it is too light, it's a lot harder to blend a darker foundation than a lighter one.

But that is another plus to this BB cream! There are four shades to choose from, which make it great for all skin tones, from the fairest of fair to the deepest ebony. Now that I have more of a tan though, I really love this full coverage BB cream and it is a more full coverage version of my favourite Garnier BB cream!

Best applied with finger tips or spotted around face and blended with a stipple or buffing brush.
(for dry or acne prone skin, using fingertips to gently buff BB cream in might prove better for your skin)

Overall, I do like this. I wish I would've bought the fair shade, however, it is a great product.
