Hello all my lovies out there. A brand spankin' new review on my blog?
YOU BETCHA.
It's been much much much too long hasn't it? But here I am, back at it!
I am so thankful to Q-Depot for sending me over this BB Cream to test out and review for you lovies today. Hopefully I haven't lost my blogging touch!
As you can see from the photo above, the BB Cream comes packaged in a grey, silver, and holographic package that, as you know, can be challenging to photograph at times, but this isn't a review about the box. :P
NoTS is fancy. The box is sealed with a holographic sticker wit the NoTS logo on it.
The BB Cream bottle is fairly simple and clean. No gimmicks here.
If you've been with me for awhile, you KNOW one of my favorite things about products is that little piece of protection over the opening of the bottle that insures the product hasn't been tampered with or used. I love fresh things.
The packaging was definitely hard to photograph, so I'm going to type everything out.
I got the color option Light Beige.

I can't lie, my first impression of this BB Cream was better than expected. I feel like with most BB Creams, you'll get a grey cast on your face when you apply it before it oxidizes and starts looking good. With the NoTS BB Cream, I felt as if that issue wasn't really that big of an issue. The consistency isn't too thin or thick and it blends well. There is a scent, but it's a pleasant one and a familiar scent to me. Also, the SPF content is wonderful. The sun beats down on my face at certain intervals during the day and it's good to know I have a layer of protection.
Next I'll be showing you some side to side comparisons. I wore this BB Cream along with a face of makeup all day, which I'll show at the end of the comparisons.
Comparison #1
This is my face with nothing on it except my daily skincare routine on the left.
On the right is my skin with the NoTS BB Cream on. It's covered up plenty of my imperfections and mildly covered up the redness around my cheek and cheek bone areas. I applied this using my Real Techniques blending sponge if anyone was wondering.

Comparison #2
These are shots of the BB Cream on, one without flash and one with flash so you can see how this BB Cream holds up under flash. It still covers up really well. No need for me to add another layer of this BB Cream.
Comparison #3
End of the day when I go to take my makeup off. One without flash and one with. The next photo will show how well this BB Cream has held up!
Final Comparison
As you can see, the skin around my cheek bone has started to show through and you can tell there's much less on my skin as a result of daily wear, which is pretty common. It's hot where I live and this BB Cream has held up nicely compared to some of the American branded foundations I've used.
If I didn't know anything about the brand NoTS before, I do now. While this BB Cream IS on the pricier side, I CAN say that it is worth the money if you're looking for a good BB Cream. Would I purchase again? I'm unsure. There are plenty of BB Creams out there I want to try before committing to just one, but this BB Cream ranks up there as one of my favorite ones for how well it's held up on me in the weather circumstances I'm in. I can imagine how well it'll hold during the winter.
Travel Friendly
High SPF Content
No Grey Cast Before Oxidation
Wears Well
Pretty Expensive
Not Widely Available

Love the different comparison images and I'm happy to see this review. I already spotted some of the items on q-depot from this brand but there are not many reviews around. I t lokks like a good BB cream as far as I can tell from your review.
