Esprique Cool BB Spray

Esprique is bringing back a revamped version of its Cool BB Spray Foundation (2100yen, 60g) this summer as a limited edition release. Originally launched last May, the new version boasts increased sun protection levels of SPF50+ and PA++++ (the maximum level in Japan), and is available in two shades whereas the original version was only available in one shade.

Described as a spray-type essence foundation, it comes with a sponge for spraying the foundation onto before applying to the face. It is fragrance-free, meant for all seasons and contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, mint extract, amino acids and silicones such as dimethicone. The BB aspect is based on its five functions as a beauty essence, sunblock, primer, foundation and face powder. Aside from promising to vanquish the appearance of pores, it also cools the skin by 5°C upon application. Due out on 16 May in Japan, there will also be a limited edition set that includes the BB Spray, Loose Face Powder in Lucent Beige 1.5g and a loose powder puff. Check out the TV commercial featuring actress Ueto Aya here.

This will also be available in Taiwan. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it will be available in Singapore too. Kose counters in Singapore are now selling the new Pore Cover Perfect Base CC in these limited edition base makeup kits for just S$39. Their other promotions for May can be found here.

Esprique Cool BB Spray UV Foundation

Now here's an intriguing product from Esprique. The limited edition Cool BB Spray UV foundation SPF30 PA++ (60g) is described as an essence foundation dispensed through a spray mechanism. It's not meant to be sprayed directly onto the face but rather, to be sprayed onto a sponge. It offers the multi-functionality of traditional BB creams in a cooling lightweight texture, performing five functions: sunblock, primer, foundation, powder and beauty essence. It claims to make skin feel 5 degrees cooler and provides coverage of pores without any stickiness. Due out on 15 May in Japan.
