[REVIEW] The Face Shop Smart Capsule CC Cream

Hello everyone! 

Today I would like to introduce you to my first CC Cream I have ever purchased.

 It is, The Face Shop Smart Capsule CC Cream. This CC cream comes in two types. The first one is a compact type with a cushion and they come with light and darker colours. However the one I own doesn’t have any colour and it is actually white (WHAT?). Well the smart capsule cc cream blends into your own skin colour as you are putting it on because of the small colour beads that are inside the cream. 

The packaging has a very cute light pink colour. To get the cream out all you have to do is press on it and the cream will come out from the middle. It is good and hygienic as the product will never get air and oils from your fingers into it. However this type of packaging is not the perfect type carry in your makeup pouch for touch ups during the day. So if you are someone who likes to touch up their makeup I recommend you to check the compact type. 

Check the photos below for better understanding of how this CC Cream works :)

As you can see the colour of the cream is pink based white. 

When you start to blend the cream into your skin the colour starts changing and and starts looking more orange and pink and then it magically matches to your skin colour!

Here is a photo of my mothers hand to show you the coverage and the colour of the CC cream. The coverage for this cream is light to medium but it is buildable. Even though the photo doesn’t do justice it gives dewy look to skin without making you oily. I think this is a good CC cream if you have normal/oily skin type but if you have dry skin I definitely recommend you to put a nice moisturizer or essence on your face before you apply it on your skin as it would give you a better finish. The consistency of the cream is thicker than the BB creams I own so at first I was slightly not sure if I like it since I like only putting extremely light things on my face. When you put it on it doesn’t feel heavy though so my worries disappeared after that and a little goes a long way! 

Colour - As I have mentioned because of the beads the colour matches to your skin as you blend it out but I’m not sure if it would still match if your skin colour is on the dark side(?). 

Coverage - It takes care of the slight redness I have on my face but the coverage is not high like a BB cream. So it is light to medium but if you layer it on the coverage gets higher. 

Consistency / Smell - Consistency of the cream is thicker than BB creams but it doesn’t feel heavy on face and it also has a slight cream smell to it. You can still smell it when you first put it on your face but it disappears after a while and it is not a very disturbing smell.
