My General Review:
This is a BB primer from Missha. I got a sample pack of it, and since you don’t need to use a lot at a time, even the sample pack will last me quite some time. The light pink iridescent lotion is light in texture, easy to spread. I’d say it does a good job of being a primer for me, as it smooths my skin texture upon application. Not super smooth, silicone-y feeling, but enough to help fill in pores and other crevices.
True to its claim, this primer gives glowy effect. A bit too much for me in the daytime, because I usually wear heavy duty Euro sunscreen…which naturally shines on its own 
It’s not out of place for office or anything though, I just prefer something more toned-down. If you’re into glow, then I’d say try this.
On my fair Asian skin, this is translucent, but a friend of mine told me it looks rather white on her. That’s weird, because I think she’s rather fair. Kimoko with medium toned skin can wear this okay…but maybe it’s safer if you can try it out first before buying.
Kimoko also said that its oil controlling properties is really good, so I’m not sure how will it performs on very dry skin. But on my slightly dry cheeks, slightly oily T-zone, it’s not drying at all. Doesn’t make my face oily too. It does contain Alcohol, but it didn’t seem harm me. Maybe because the Alcohol is rather down the list and it’s not potent enough to irritate my skin.
On the other side, I don’t feel any improvement from using this BB primer. Truthfully, very few BB cream provide slightest bit of improvement.
Price:
You can get it at Ebay for quite cheap; it’s around US-15 for a 40ml tube. Very reasonable, it’ll last for very long time.

Overall Rating:
4 out of 5. Nice glowy primer, just a bit over the top for day use for me. Smooths out pores, but I prefer super slick primer to make blending foundations/TM/BB cream super easy.
Nevertheless, good product at very reasonable price though.

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++
But because I only use a small amount of it on my face, I still rely on my sunscreen for daytime.
