Very excited about this one. Been waiting for it anxiously since I placed the order. And, 2 weeks later, finally the package came in the mail!
BIOAQUA BB PORE SILKY BALM
Price: US$1.28 (RM5.70)
The packaging is really cute. Simple and classic. It came in a tin container. Generous size. Lightweight and it looks just so right.
The back of it.
It claims to,
- Filling up the pores and fine lines.
- Mattify your skin.
- Wonderful oil control.
Well, let's see.
It came with a sponge. A piece of wax paper is placed to line it.
Upon opening, i noticed the surface of the product was super duper greasy. The wax paper itself was very greasy.
However, the smell was super amazing though. Really nice perfume smell.

When I rubbed it on the back of my hand, i expected it to be silky smooth like how other makeup primer works. But this product just glides on like oil, making it feels like a Vaseline. It didn't mattify my skin at all.
Applied it on my pores with the sponge as suggested. I thought it won't cover my pores. But surprisingly when I did a comparison photo like this, it turned out to be working out great! Yea. But in reality, it still looked the same. Especially when you leave it on for a few hours, it definitely won't help with your makeup. At all.
I find it to be very disappointing. I bought it especially for its function - makeup primer. But it is definitely not a makeup primer. It's like applying the greasy Vaseline to your skin before makeup. Maybe if you live in a very dry winter climate it will make sense. But i am here in Malaysia, so this is totally rubbish.
