I'm feeling productive today so I decided to review 2 face products from HBC: San San Liquid Foundation Matte Finish in Light Ivory and Crayons BB Cream in Fair Lady. This is not a comparison review because we all know that foundation and BB cream are two different things. This is more of a side by side review of the products.
When Crayons BB Cream first came out, it was somewhat talked about in various blogs and vlogs. I was curious of its performance of course hearing that this BB Cream can pass as a foundation. I want to see and try it for myself.

| Ingredients |
-consistency is thick so coverage is buildable
-not enough shades to choose from. This BB Cream only has 2 shades.
-my main issue with this is that it smells terrible--like chemical. To be honest, I can stand the smell
-staying power is good but it emphasizes my blemishes and dry patches over time
-it is patchy even with primer underneath
 |
| it has white cast and emphasize dry patches |
Overall, you get what you pay for. It is affordable but I am not satisfied with the overall quality of this. Much rave for this product is with its coverage but other qualities run short.
I've been eyeing San San Liquid Foundation for quite a while and gladly I can review this at last
 |
| blends with my skin well even though it is way lighter than my skin tone |
-watery consistency. Coverage is medium to full. Despite being watery, I can feel some grits on the product which I guess is residue. So I shake it well before using
-it comes in a glass bottle with a spatula inside. The spatula actually helps me to apply the product better on my face
-it smells like vanilla chocolate
-despite having Matte Finish, it does not emphasize my dry patches as much as Crayons BB Cream
-blends well to my skin
-compared to Crayons BB, I like this better because you get decent quality of Foundation for an affordable price
Crayons BB Cream costs around $2 (100php) and San San Foundation costs around $4 (200php)
