The Korean beauty industry is famous for its innovative technologies both in the field of cosmetic surgery and makeup product. Every single time I stumble upon Korean makeup or skincare product, I'm left speechless or by the wonderful formulation, or by the eye-catching packaging of the product. In today's review, we are going to take a closer look at one of such breathtaking Korean products — the Holika Holika Sweet Cotton Pore Cover BB Cream*, which was kindly sent to me by the W2Beauty store.

So, let's begin with the packaging! Isn't it adorable? The  Holika Holika Sweet Cotton BB cream comes in a pretty tube with pink and light yellow stripes. It also features a tiny cotton candy drawing on it. The scent of the cream is sweet but subtle. It has a scent of confectionery, and I want to eat it! There are 30 ml of pore cover cream, and it will go a long way. Later I'll explain to you why.

If you are following my blogging journey, you may know that enlarged skin pores are one of the major skin concentrations for me. Therefore, I am always in search of a good primer or foundation, that can camouflage my pores, providing lightweight coverage, so the skin can breathe underneath the product. The Sweet Cotton Pore Cover is exactly this type of product.

It has a thick, but non-greasy consistency, so just a drop of the product can cover all of the pores and even blackheads. I like using it around my nose, on my nose, and even on my chin. If you have a dry skin type, I would recommend you moisturize your skin before applying this product. This step will ensure the smoothness of the skin, and help you to avoid any unnecessary 'dry situations'.

The Holika Holika Pore Cover cream comes in two shades: 01 - soft beige and 02 - natural beige. I have the soft beige shade, but it feels a bit too dark for my complexion. So, I prefer applying it underneath a lighter bb cream or foundation, as a pore primer. I actually think that Holika Holika should re-name this product as a primer, not BB cream.

Overall, I want to say that it was my first meeting with the Holika Holika brands, and I’m so happy it went so well! The Sweet Cotton Pore Cover is my favorite product at the moment, and I would love to recommend it to anyone, who needs a pore-smoothing primer. I believe it would work especially good for those of you, who has combination or oily skin types. It controls excessive oiliness and provides a powdery finish to the skin. And, don't forget to visit the W2Beauty store for more high-quality k-beauty makeup and skincare products. They deliver their cosmetic products internationally and have the nicest manager ever!

Lots of love,
