My Go-To BB Cream for a Natural Glow

I stumbled upon the Belita BB cream in the WB range by chance, and it was actually recommended to me. The price of 203 rubles and the enthusiastic reviews did the trick – I'd ordered it within five minutes.

But honestly, who cares that this tone BB cream is marketed towards teenagers? It's worked amazingly well on my 35+ skin, and I'm not even kidding – it's the best budget option I've ever had. It's so comfortable, lightweight, and pleasant to use... But let's get into the details.Price: 203 rub.Volume: 30 ml.My shade: 01.Manufactured in Belarus.Appearance

The packaging is bright and girly. The tube says it's part of the School Girl range for girls from 14 years old.

Despite being so cheap, the packaging is actually pretty good And the plastic is quite sturdy.

The expiration date is 2 years. After opening, it's 6 months.

The cap just screws off, and underneath is a thin nozzle. Nothing leaks or gets messy.

On the back, there's all the necessary information and the ingredients list – and that's really important.

I picked this BB cream because of its formula. There are no oils, no silicones, and no comedogenic ingredients, which we know can be a problem even for adults. I've got acne-prone skin, and I've found that certain products can trigger breakouts.

After testing the Belita BB cream, I can confidently say it's non-comedogenic. Great formula.

Texture and scent

The cream is thick, just like any other BB cream. Nothing out of the ordinary, except it feels lighter on the skin since there are no oils or silicones.

The cream is smooth and pliable, spreads easily on the skin, and doesn't separate over time. Coverage is medium when applied with your finger. Finish is natural-looking. I didn't notice any matte finish, as promised by the manufacturer, with a natural, healthy-looking glow.The scent of the Belita BB cream is barely there, a subtle, cosmetic smell that's hardly noticeable.

Tone

I chose the lightest shade, 01, and there are only two to choose from. But 01 isn't as light as it seems at first glance.

The tone is a neutral beige with a warm undertone. Luckily, it blends in seamlessly with my skin tone, so even on pale skin, the BB cream is almost invisible.

No neck lines, I specifically tested it by removing my Clarins self-tanning drops. All in all, I think owners with even very pale skin can get away with the 01 shade.Results and impressions

So, how does the BB cream from Belita perform in real life? When I first tried it, I was pleasantly shocked. It applied so beautifully and comfortably. The subsequent times didn't disappoint me either. Now, I'll go through the main points, list all the pros and cons.

First off, I'll mention that I only apply any foundation products with a damp beauty blender, I'm not a fan of other methods. A damp beauty blender gives a natural finish, without accentuating wrinkles and flakiness. The Belita School Girl BB cream applies beautifully using this method.

You only need one generous drop for one application, so I wouldn't say it's extremely economical. Still, for 200 rubles?

I apply a thin, light, and almost undetectable layer. The BB cream lies comfortably on the skin, doesn't sink into pores or wrinkles, doesn't slide off, and doesn't accentuate any flakiness. It feels amazing on the skin, doesn't cause any discomfort or irritation. I even apply it under my eyes, and there haven't been any negative reactions.

It evens out my tone, hides dark spots and redness, and the cream is virtually invisible on the skin. It's literally not noticeable, but it does its job masterfully. My skin looks radiant, making me look younger!

Throughout the day, the BB cream performs excellently. I get a perfect finish for about 6 hours, after which I get a greasy sheen, but I dust it with translucent powder. Then, the tone stays looking great until evening. It doesn't fade, slide off, or disappear from the nose wings. I also apply a concealer under my eyes and pinpoint any issues, and it gives me a flawless coverage without a mask-like effect.

The pores aren't clogged! It also doesn't cause any allergic reactions or acne, so it's safe for teenagers and those prone to clogged pores.

Removal is a breeze: I use micellar water and a gel cleanser.

I'm really impressed with this BB cream. I ended up ordering a second tube just in case I run out – it's that good. If you're on the hunt for a lightweight, buildable product with a natural finish that won't cake or weigh you down, this is it. And the best part? It's an absolute steal for the price.
