Hey Girls
I posted a picture of a new BB cream I bought a while ago on my Facebook page. Lotus Herbals has come up with a lot of new products for the skin including some foundations and BB creams. I picked up a light coverage good smelling BB from Lotus. I have been using it non stop and today I will be reviewing it for you all.
Price- 175/-
There were soo many new face creams and foundations by Lotus that I was so confused at the store. At the end I picked up something that looked very everyday and gave a nice finish to the skin. It also smells very good and seemed pretty blendable. The packaging is a very convenient tube that allows you to control the amount of product dispensed.
This creme is available in only one colour. There is another BB cream/foundation that comes in different shades. If you think this might be light, you should look into that one. On my skin, the colour is a good match as it is very light coverage and easy to blend. The colour is medium light and settles down to your skin shade once used.
This creme is so blendable and does not leave a white cast. I have combination oily skin and I just use a moisturizer on the dry areas of my face before using this, for the rest of the face just this BB is enough. It settles to a matte finish and does not make your face oily for a good 2 hours. Although it says matte it’s not a matte but flat type finish. It almost feels watery to the touch which I think is the reason for it being very blendable.
The coverage is very very light. It will just even out your skin tone the slightest bit and wont cover up and imperfections. I use this in the mornings and then later on use another BB Creme of mine as a foundation/base makeup. As for the fairness part I dont think it does anything neither do I expect it to, if it can help with the pigmentation I would be pretty happy. This creme has almost replaced my moisturizer that I used in the day. The SPF 30 has replaced my sunscreen as I use a generous amount in the mornings. I dont really get the time to do the whole reapply drill as that is a little hard to when you are at work with a face full of makeup.
I am very impressed with Lotus Herbals as an organic Indian brand trying to come up with new products as per the latest trends. I didnt need the other foundations/BB cremes but I am sure they would perform very well. The Matte look sunscreen was a big favourite of mine. I highly recommend you to check this creme out if you are looking for something that looks natural and is easy to use everyday. It would be perfect for college going students. It moisturizes well and does not cling to the dry parts of the skin.
PROS:
1. Gives an even matte finish
2. Affordable
3. Super blendable
4. No white cast
5. Keeps oil at bay for good time
CONS:
1. Low coverage
2. Has Parabens
My rating – 4.5/5
See you all soon 🙂

Oh yes, I have combination oily skin and it gives my skin a very nice finish. But the coverage is not too good so better use a concealer and powder on top 🙂
