Missha BB Boomer Review: The BB Cream Primer

I was given a sample of the Missha BB Boomer after buying a BB cream from Missha. The sales representative said that it acts like a BB cream primer and that it even has anti-wrinkle properties. I got curious with this product mainly because of its name--BB Boomer. I mean seriously, Boomer?! So i gave it a try, true enough It made my skin glow and kept my BB cream longer on my face. It also brightened up my complexion. So I went back to Missha and bought the actual BB Boomer.

After several hours of use, I noticed that the BB boomer glow actually made my face quite shiny [I have oily skin btw]. At the end of the day I looked like a friggin' disco ball. It made me very self conscious and as a result I was blotting my face with blotting paper every time I went to the rest room. 


I learned after using this product that there is a thin line between GLOWING and SHINY [and an even thinner line between SHINY and GREASY]. Adding a BB Boomer to the equation can tip the scale easily.

It Says on the Box:

Boosts the adherence and duration of BB Cream and makes your skin brighter when applied. Its pearl antioxidant and mosturizing ingredient make your skin more radiant while leaving it moisturized.

Containing Moringa, patent ingredient, and Mannan and  Olive ingredients which have an affinity with the skin, It keeps moisture on the skin and creates moisture shield. Containing Adenosine and Arbutin, it improves skin tone and fine lines.

The Good News

• Spreads easily on the face
• Brightens up the complexion
• Keeps your BB Cream intact for longer
• It gives an obvious glow/shimmer on the face
• It doesn't smell bad
• It didn't cause me to break out

Light creamy consistency

The Bad News

• It didn't do anything for my fine lines.
• If you have oily skin, I don't recommend this product because you'll easily sparkle like Twilight Vampire even if you carry a pack of blotting paper with you.

The Verdict [in a nutshell]

Decent primer. If you want a sparkly looking face like this [minus the photoshopped pores, obviously]:

Then, I would suggest this product to you. 

However if you have an oily or oily combo skin, better skip this product and invest more on a decent finishing powder because your BB cream will give you enough shine on its own. Even though it costs about 1200 PHP it'll last you for a long time so its a good buy depending on the look you're going for. 


Though its too shiny for my liking, I still use it but only as a highlighter.
