i've been using the pond's bb cream in chocolate for 5 days now.
the cream gives light coverage which is perfect for my mostly blemish-free skin. sadly (for me) as great as it looks on and as silky as it feels, the finish does not stay natural long enough for my lifestyle. if i was the go-powder-my-nose-every-hour type of girl i would be thrilled with this product, but unfortunately i'm not that type of girl. i'm more the put-it-on-in-the-morning-and-forget-about-it-till-lunchtime type of girl. the bb cream had my face shiny long before lunch and since i'm not trying to look like an oil slick i have to continuously blot and/or apply powder to keep the finish looking natural - which is NOT ideal for my job/lifestyle.
it's still great for evening wear if you're having a quiet dinner but if you're going dancing under bright lights i'd suggest using a light dusting of your favourite powder over it.
all in all, great product with a good finish, just not the best for MY skin type due to the fact that my face starts showing oiliness too quickly.
