Holika Holika Aqua Petit jelly BB Cream 40ml #2

There is a "learning curve" to using this foundation, so you might want to experiment with application methods before deciding whether or not you like it. Since the formula is jelly-like, it has an interesting texture that absorbs and sets very quickly. The sponge that comes with it, in my opinion, is the worst method of application. I tried using a beauty blender instead, and while that was certainly an improvement, it requires using a LOT of product. I've found the best solution is the easiest: your fingertips. The warmth from your fingertips will keep the product from setting too quickly, allowing you to work-in and distribute the product evenly (and more easily), yielding the best application, coverage, and overall finish. (If you're adverse to using your fingertips, a brush works much better than a sponge). Coverage is semi-buildable and moderate; heavy enough to cover my hyper-pigmentation, but light enough to leave a few beauty marks shining through. It dries and sets VERY quickly, did not transfer, did not settle into fine lines, and did not require a setting powder. Very natural and not at all cakey or too heavy. The finish is mostly matte, but does appear shiny (though not greasy) under flash photography. Wear time was average. Although this product is designed to be hydrating, which suits normal to dry skin types well, I think the absorbent water-based formula will work well for oily skin types as well. Quick note about the packaging: it's cute but messy because it uses a spatula instead of a pump, so product will collect on the inside of the lid and around the rim of the bottle. Overall an excellent foundation/bb cream! I'll definitely purchase this again in the future.

I'm not much of a makeup user, but as I'm in my mid 30's, I tend to need a little bit to even out my skin tone. Love the consistency and smell of this too! Not too strong and the color matches my complexion. However I must point out that once applying onto skin, you should dab it it evenly and quickly before it starts drying out. I use a makeup sponge and I notice that there are some dried spots that would start to flake when I didn't blend in on time. But not sure if the jelly is to blame, or the sponge or my SPF cream underneath. Hell, it could be the heat in my bathroom. Not sure about most of the negative reviews in here, but mine came with a spatula attached inside the lid. Some people mentioned that it looked really dry on the skin after application. It was fine for me, but to fix the dried look, I spritz a little of 'Missha's Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence' which gives my skin a dewy and shiny glow. It also gives allows my skin to absorb more of the the essence and smooths it out. This jelly cream lasted me about 5 months, which is perfect. Packaging is cute and glass bottle is perfect for the price. Will def buy this again. Hope this helps!

I'm going to start with the bad: doesn't stay put without help. That's all. I have this in shade #2 and it is a better match for my NC25 warm, light-medium skin than any other BB cream I have tried. I am a W2 in L'oreal true match too if that helps. This BB has sheer-medium coverage that is a little buildable, up to a strong medium. If anyone remembers the discontinued maybelline Pure makeup liquid foundation that came in a light mint green squeeze tube, I would say that mousse-y texture is visually the closest way to describe this Bb cream's texture. However, this BB cream spreads much more easily and and feels almost like a thin, moisturizing aloe gel (no aloe smell). I have tried étude house precious mineral Bb cream (thick, paste-y white and hard to blend evenly), the original red Missha BB cream (grey cast on my yellow skin), Lioele triple the solution (similar to the étude house one, only slightly better color match but still kind of white-grey cast). The finish of the petit jelly BB is satiny and so realistically glowy, like the Missha but less dewy (read: shiny). However, unfortunately I cannot wear it that way as it does slide off my acne within a couple hours unless I set it with some powder. In indoor lighting the foundation has no grey cast, which is already better than most BB creams. In natural lighting/sunlight, there is a noticeable grey-cool cast to my complexion compared to my neck. Keep in mind this was far worse and more starkly noticeable in all my previous BB creams. I love the very mild subtle fragrance, it does not break out my acne prone sensitive skin, and looks pretty natural even if you apply several layers.

I have oily combo skin. The product has medium coverage and a more matte finish. Pros: more coverage than expected, lasts fantastically on my oily skin, very lightweight, nice light scent that doesn't linger. Cons: Application is difficult because of how quickly the product dries on the face. I recommend working in one section at a time. Is not buildible at ALL. If you apply more over an already dry section the product will start to "gather" and leave the area splotchy. Applying with a beautyblender creates the same splotchy effect. I get the best application with my fingers. If you have oily skin this might be worth a shot, but I personally think there's better out there. I have gotten this to look great, so I will finish the product but I will not be repurchasing. It's just a little finicky for me.

The foundation has a cute packaging and it's a good amount. It also came with a sponge which is nice. The foundation has a gel or a jelly consistency and when you put it on the skin it feels refreshing. The coverage is light but it can be built to a medium coverage; I wouldn't want to do more layers or it may look cakey. It feels really natural, it's not sticky or thick; when I touch my face it feels like skin that doesn't have anything on. Its best for those who have decent looking skin, dry or oily, or discoloration because it evens out the look of the skin so it looks flawless. I don't recommend if you have acne because it is a BB cream so it has light to medium coverage. It does settle a bit in my forehead and smile lines but that's because I don't wear primer; it will help if you do. If you have dry patches be sure to moisturize before applying or it will look a bit flaky. I got this in shade #2 which is the darkest they have, and it's still a pretty light color. I range from MAC NC 20 - NC 25 and it's still a bit light for me but I can put on bronzer or contour and it will look better. I think it will match better with an NC 15. It contains spf 20 which is good for your everyday makeup but it does give a white cast in pictures with flash, so avoid if there will be pictures at night or professional. Overall, it's the best for me.

At first I really liked this product because it didn't leave grey cast like most other BB creams. However, after a week of constantly using this product, my skin started to act up. Pimples that looked like cystic acnes started to come out everywhere on my face, especially on my chin and cheeks. Simply, terrible. I have never had any bad reactions to skincare or cosmetic products before, and trust me I've tried a lot. At least 15 different bb creams, and this one was the worst. My usually smooth and flawless skin is now full of discoloration that the acne caused, whiteheads, pimples, clogged pores, etc. :( Thank God, the big, ugly, full of white puss acnes had stopped appearing on my face after I threw away this product 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure if my skin just didnt like the ingredients or I probably just got the fake one. Sooo sad :(

I was wearing Revlon Colorstay, but started using Retin A and it was drying my skin, and colorstay looked cakey and weird on my combo skin. I had seen some YT videos on this foundation, and it's quite inexpensive, so I decided to pick it up. I got natural beige 02, which may be too dark for me, but since there's only 2 choices and they look so similar I felt it wouldn't matter. I am going to buy the 01 shade and see if it's lighter. This has waaaay better coverage than I expected! I use my moisturizer, sunscreen, then use a beauty sponge (I use Ecotools) to blend this in my skin. It does have a cool pudding-like texture, which is fun. I have mild roseacea on my cheeks, and this does a good job of covering it. I do set it with a powder (I always set my foundation with powder), and it lasts all day and doesn't wear off weirdly on my face throughout the day. In fact, I've looked at my face in the mirror when I get home from a long day at the office and thought, "wow, the foundation still looks great!" So that's nice. It does have SPF in it, but I of course wear a separate sunscreen. I highly recommend if there's a shade that would work for you. It's a bummer that there is only 2 shades.

This BB cream comes in an appealing box. You get the BB cream and a sponge applicator. The sponge is pretty decent. The BB cream is the best! It dries fast but it really makes my face look smooth and even! Although I must say that my skin is pretty clear to begin with. Overall, it feels nice and light on the skin. Almost like it is not there! Only issue is the spatula because I just know that it will be a struggle to get the remaining product once it is almost out! P.S. I am light medium skin tone and #2 is a perfect fit!

It's a good product it blends in well, and it smells really nice.

Bb crème de qualité, la texture est fine et non collante, pas d'odeur particulière. Attention la teinte est assez claire mais le produit est très agréable sur la peau. L'embout est pratique pour appliquer la bonne quantité de produit. La couvrance est moyenne. Le contenant en verre est très qualitatif et tres joli !

nice when blend with sponge, come with product

So disappointing! The item seemed expired. All the product inside the bottle is dried out. Totally unusable!
