Nature Republic: Snail Therapy BB Cream #2 (Updated)

 Some of you remember I wrote a post on this a while back

I wrote a crappy blog post on this product a while back lol. I didn't show you how the product even looked on my skin so I'm updating this post.

I think being in the hot weather is the best time to test out bb cream, at least for me. My skin is at its absolute worst LOL. Excessively oily, larger pores, more redness due to heat, yeah best time to test lol at least not many blemishes yet... there's still time lol.

 Sponge Applicator

So I've used the sponge applicator and I've used a brush to apply. Honestly I prefer using the brush over the sponge only because I think the sponge leaves my skin a little streaky (probably using it wrong LOL) AND I have difficulties trying to take it off to clean it lol so I just stick to the brush now hahaha.

 Stupid big pores and redness in my skin and dry lips
not many pimples

Applied with brush (Also liking the pink lipstick I'm wearing LOL)

So overall what do you think?

It covers quite well no redness seen and it gives my skin a nice glow to it. I've noticed over time that my skin does get shiny but I probably will need a better setting powder and I'm also not wearing a primer underneath in this photo so it should help with the shininess.

Would I buy again? Hmm..

I broke out! NOOO

I don't know if I want to spend $20+ for a BB cream unless it was amazing but I want to try some other ones before I decide to repurchase any plus it made me break out like crazy so I want one for sensitive skin, this was literally a day after having it on so its like WTF happened. I used a makeup remover to remove the face makeup and then cleansed right after.. this isn't the first time its happened either.

I'm slowly but surely learning how to use and put on makeup, I just have to figure out eyeliner LOL I think that will be my most difficult challenge...

Ashley also has written a post on this product here, so take a look there if you are undecided on whether or not you want to purchase this as we both have different skin types.

Nature Republic: Snail Therapy 50 BB Cream SPF 30 #2


I'm actually doing make-up! O_O According to the sales girl this is one of Nature Republic's Top BB creams! I bought this bb cream after trying the one Ashley bought. We got it at an actual Nature Republic store!! I wish they had one in Vancouver >.< lol. We paid around $26.50, the price will probably go up because it was on promotion because I think the Nature Republic in Honolulu opened not that long ago.

I've used BB cream before by Skin79 but it made my skin kind of grey looking, maybe it was mine because I got it on Ebay and I think it may have been expired LOL, Oh well I paid like $12 for it.

So I didn't know that it had the sponge applicator already to go which I twisted it off by accident
but I got it back on

It also comes with a spare sponge so when you are cleaning one 
you can have another one ready to go!

Tadaaaa!

My Thoughts

If you've been reading my blog you will know that I don't wear make-up so this is totally new to me so I'm pretty excited lol but I have used a different bb cream before. What I like about this is that the sponge makes it so you have an even finish plus you can take the sponge off to clean it. I don't think it has any other benefits besides SPF, it doesn't really say whitening or wrinkle care... but I'm assuming it does wrinkle care because its snail therapy... somebody let me know!

I'll do an update on this post with bb cream on half my face but right now Hawaii is fucking up my skin LOL. My skin is horrible with heat and humidity so I'm totally breaking out right now and my skin is all red, I don't want to vacation anywhere hot ever again lol, I'd rather be bundled up than sweating my butt off.. bleh should only vacation during fall/winter/spring lol, although I did have fun snorkeling.. bah! stupid skin! wtf!

Where Can You Get This Product?

I've seen this on sale on Ebay for $30 plus shipping. They also sell it on Amazon for about the same price. I know Sasa has like 3 nature republic products and this isn't one of them.. poop. If you live in Honolulu lucky you! there's a Nature Republic here! plus its super affordable! also don't buy from Yesstyle, they jack up the price so much! bah!
