Spotted at Ippondo (a Japanese cosmetics store) is this diamond shaped CC cream that caught my eyes at first glance. I bought it purely based on its packaging, I mean, seriously, it is pretty inside out, how can I resist?!

PUREGLAM is part of a bigger company called BCL and it is a Japanese owned beauty brand that focus their products on facial makeup items, such as primers, foundations, BB & CC creams etc... I assume that this brand is popular among Chinese beauty lovers as most of the reviews about this brand found online is written in Chinese.

BCL PUREGLAM CC Cream has a thin and liquidy texture that applies like it is almost not there, it is indeed sheer and hardly noticeable unless if packed on the products. The CC Cream covers pores okay, but it gives a weird clogging look around the nose area, within two hours of applying the product, my T-zone already feels and look oily.

I am unsure if the PUREGLAM CC Cream has more than one color option, the one I have is a light beige shade and it fits my NC25 skin tone perfectly. The CC Cream doesn't appear to improve my uneven skin tones nor cover redness which I usually get around the nose area in the morning as I still had to cover them with concealer. I like that it gives me a luminous look though, it's like naturally glowing skin without applying too much highlighter.

BCL PUREGLAM CC Cream is not waterproof nor sweat proof as it claims, it doesn't wear for too long, especially in humid days. The longest I get from wearing the CC Cream is four hours in a cold weathered day then it starts to fade and disappear.

I love medium to full coverage foundations the most and I most enjoy beauty products that are long-wearing. Since this was my first CC cream product, I didn't expect the texture to be so sheer. I like that it feels lightweight even though I have packed on a lot of layers to get more coverage and I like that it gives my skin that luminous look; but I am disappointed that it is not long wearing and it gets oily around the T-zone within hours of applying.
