The thing about cosmetics : Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream SPF25 PA++ #23

I've been real busy with assignments and parties. But....I have been trying this BB Cream sample for a week.

You can definitely see a slight gray/pink undertone to it.

Shade #23 fits nearest to the color of my skin....for now. But my skintone is definitely pale yellow-ish. That's what I found out after putting on different types of BB Cream.

My neck is slightly pale-yellowish.

I attended a friend's 21st with this on. I look like this from afar though.

• It stays on for quite a long time, good oil control


• Buildable, medium to full coverage,


• Can be substituted for heavy foundation (just apply bronzer onto it, I don't have one -_- Probably should get one soon)


• Good for winter wear, my face seems moisturized?


• Don't really like the pink/gray undertone to it tough. What a pity. :(


• DOES NOT HAVE PARABENS (as said on site)

The thing about cosmetics : BRTC Jasmine BB Cream

Say HELLO to my current favorite BB Cream - BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream.

Did I mention that purple is my favourite color? ;)

Pretty classy packaging.

Let's take a look.

A dab on my hand.Blended out.

What the benefits the BB Cream gives:

• Strong moisture control for dry skin!


• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles


• Brighten dark and aged skin


• Skin irritation test completed


• Great for sensitive skin types


• Superior moisture and water retension

My honest take on it:

• Love the jasmine scent


• Feels light on my skin (not sticky at all)


• Medium coverage, can be build on


• Average-thick texture - it's not a bad thing really!


• Covers all my redness, natural finish


• Good oil control (for winter / rainy days)


• Blends well with my skin (I have fairer skin)


• Might a little bit pricey compared to other BB Creams - I don't mind paying for something more pricey. I don't want to wreck my face. :\

Taking half of a point off it just because ain't no way there is a perfect BB Cream.

Recommended for people with fair skin. Unless you don't mind having a dislocated head with you.

Your call really. :)

The thing about cosmetics : Mamonde Total Solution BB Cream

Introducing...

AMOREPACIFIC Total Solution BB Cream (・∀・＊)

In the midst of my procrastination, I decided to do a quick review on my BB cream that arrived on Monday. THIS MONDAY. I know right.

I bought 3 of the 10ml size in Light Beige.

What its contents are.

The swatch on my hand.

See the difference? Unedited, taken with flash.

What I can conclude:

• Light-Medium coverage (covers all my redness, panda eyes), natural finnish


• Could work as a concealer


• It's for all skin types. I have combination skin, feels real light on my skin, compared to other BB creams. (So far, from the samples that I've tried. Will post the samples up when I have the time.) 


• Does not break out my skin, no skin irratation

Pretty gutted I can't use it as a foundation 'cause my face's skintone doesn't match the color. It actually looks like someone's white face was misplaced on my body. :sadface: Really gutted.

AND GURL. DID YOU KNOW THAT MR. SIWON IS ONE OF THEIR ENDORSERS?
