~~[]Senka BB cream review[]~~

 Hey all
Today, wanted to review the Shiseido Senka Mineral Water BB Cream UV  SPF41 +++
I bought recently bought this BB cream before I headed off to Europe, It has SPF of 41 PA+++ so it's great for summer. also it comes with two colours, a bright shade and a healthy shade. I got the darker one a bit more natural on my face I think. as well as in summer I get a tan any ways.

 This BB Cream is refreshing, non-sticky, long lasting and has a super light texture. Another unique feature of the BB Cream is that you don’t even have to do double cleansing – just a foam cleanser will be able to wash it off. Using also double potency Acid Hyaluronic, this BB Cream keeps skin hydrated, refresh, without any burden to the skin.

This BB cream also is formulated with  special powder which gives that great coverage with out looking cakey or heavy. The product packaging is great because it's a plastic tube, hygienic and light to carry around.
 can just through in your make up bag and not worrying about dropping it and breaking it and all that sort of mess.

On my skin it feels like I'm wearing something I wouldn't say it feels light but it's not heavy either. It doesn't have great oil control abilities so may be not for oily skin. I got combination some times comb/dry skin. It contains skin moisturizing ingredients so I think it's suited for all year round if you have normal dry skin. In summer I found this to be a bit heavy, the staying power is not too bad if I didn't sweat like crazy it would last about 4-5 hours in summer, in winter weather it lasts longer around 6-7 hours but I set it with a powder.

 This is what the BB cream looks like after squeezed our from the tube.

 It spreads easily and feels really watery, don't really have a scent. For Ingredient list please check out this site: []HERE[]


 Here's a look at my bare face >___<
please forgive the redness- the large pores the freckles the acne scars you name it.

 Here's an After picture with out any powder or concealer. Pictures are taken in natural indoor bathroom light without any flash.

 I think it covers my redness and pores quite well, but it still didn't cover my freckles, I mean I don't really mind it looks a more natural looking face. It also gives that glow/radiant feel to the skin so I would say a Semi matte finish. which I like.

It hasn't break me out, and no allergic reactions. I quite like this. The most thing i LOVE about this is that it can be rinsed clean with just normal foaming face wash, no need make up remover. that's a plus point for me.


I bought this on Adambeauty.com. any questions just leave in comment section.

P.S. yes weekend soon.. can't wait.

have a great one every body

[][] BB CREAM & FOUNDATION comparison[][]~~~

Hey all ~~~
Hope you all had a great weekend. Today I will be doing an experiment for foundations and bb creams.

The reason is because I have combination skin, tend to be more oily during summer and in winter some times it can be so dry that when I wake up in the morning I have fine lines around my mouth/eyes and stuff >< (think it's the heater)...


Any ways.. I did a little experiment to find out what kind of foundation I should use in water conditions my skin is in. So I got a piece of oil blotting paper, and just put a dot of foundaiton/bb cream and wait for the absorption of the water/oil. This blotting paper absorbs mainly oil and some water.




First start off with Foundations:
Top Row: Estee Lauder DW, Estee Lauder DWL, Revlon Colorstay, Mac SFF

Bottom Row: Kate High Coverage Lasting foundation, MAybelline AngelFit, Prescriptive Virtue MAtte, Clinique Superfit



So for this picture.. I labelled all the Foundations on the blotting paper. So this is what it looks like at about 10 minutes.

This is what it looks like in about 3 hours.


And that's what it practically look like after more thatn 3 hours.

So My conclusion from this little experiment is that.

Estee Lauder's DW and DWL is more for summer use. It has least amount of oil and they are long wear foundations. I think revlon colorstay is pretty good too, a little more moisturising but still good for summer usage. (I don't think they are suited for extra dry/dry skin unless you are SUPER well moisturized before hand)

for MAC SFF, Clinique and Px, they are good for normal skin, I guess combo skin need to blot a bit more often and can be used during winter if you are well moisturized.

Lastly the Kate and Maybelline angel fit foundation is more for dry/normal skin I guess. Combo skin (for me) I need to blot more often and it's not as long wearing as the Estee Lauder's foundation. From what I can see, I think Kate is a bit more Oily... because the circle of oiliness around the dot is darker..... ie more oil. ( may be it's not really suited for combo/oily skin) But the coverage is AMAZING!!!!!

Now On to the BB creams:

Top Row: Skinfood mushroom bb, BRTC caviar bb cream, Lotree BB base, Dr Jart silver label

Botton Row: Missha perfect cover bb, Legere, Skinfood Aleo bb, Skinfood Gingko bb



Here's what they look like 10 minutes in

( Ignore the BIG BLOB.. I made a BOoBoooo) LOL

Here's what it looks like after 30 minutes

And here's what it looks like after 3 hours.

LOOK at Lotree!!! DISGUSTING!!!!

I think it is pretty clear that Lotree is way too ily for combination skin... I had to blot so many times during the day.... Disco ball already><>

And For combination skin I think Skinfood Aleo & mushroom BB cream is the best. I personally like the mushroom one the best. Buildable coverage, ok oil control after 4-5 hours It gets oily. And the mushroom scent doesn't bother me at all. But the staying power isn't all that great So I mix it with my Revlon Colorstay or Estee Lauder DW.. Dr Jart 's Silver Label is quite good for combo skin too, except its' a bit thick hence a good coverage.

That's all I have to say about the bb creams & foundation.

Any questions or comments are welcome ^^...........

P.S: Vanity.. If you reading this I like your Angelika Blush from NARS.. ^^

Etude House BB Cream Review [][]~~~

Hey again ~~~
Hope every one had a good weekend so far.
While I have been away not blogging I have tried these two bb creams from Etude House.

So I will show photos first then, write up my review about the product and my thoughts.

The back of the packaging is all korean ( click the picture to enlarge)
So Here I did a comparison between my 2 other favourite BB creams:

Top Row (L2R): Missha M perfect cover bb cream #21, Dr Jart silver label bb cream.
Bottom Row (L2R): Etude House precious mineral sheer silky skin (PM SSS) #1bb cresm, Etude House bb magic cream.


Photo taken under white light. so my hand looks a bit blue LOL

A little bit spread out.~~~
blended in with the skin.~~
From the photos you can see that Missha is perfect shade blending with my skin it's a bit pink toned. and Dr Jart is obviously greyish undertoned. The Etude house PM SSS colour #1 is really pale, they have two colours I thought that the #2 would be too dark for me so I picked #1 but it's really pale. and the Etude house magic bb cream is really yellow.

So after testing for about 2-3 weeks of these two products I'm going to review of the different aspects of the product.

Coverage: Dr Jart > Etude House PM SSS > Missha > Etude House Magic

The coverage for Etude House Magic bb cream is quite sheer, hardly covers, so may be can be used as a makeup base if you want to add a foundation over it is also fine.

Oil Contorl: Etude House PM SSS > Missha > Dr Jart > Etude House Magic

Texture (Thickness): Etude House PM SSS > Dr Jart > Missha > Etude House Magic

Glow-ness: Etude House Magic > Missha > Dr Jart > Etude House PM SSS

Breakouts: Non with all of them although Etude House Magic is a bit oily for me.

Surprisingly the Etude House PM SSS gives the most MATTE finish, almost feel powdery some times. not that it's a bad thing because I like matte finish products.

For more reviews about Etude House Precious Mineral Range, check out Kimiko's Review at Taciturnity Serenity - AKA The BB cream Queen.

Overall I liked the Etude house PM SSS better than their Magic BB. It's a good bb cream but I prefer Missha M Perfect Cover the best, I don't know what that product has but It just DOES what it claims to do except about the anti-aging part which I'm not too sure yet. So In ranking

1. Missha M Perfect Cover BB cream

2. Etude House PM SSS BB cream

3. Dr Jart Silver Label

4. Etude House Magic BB cream.

That's All for now, If you have any questions feel free to leave in comment or C-Box ........

Take cares.. ~~~ Off to 2 birthday parties this weekend. hehe=D

First Fake Lashes~~~~

Hey all
Some one requested a Graduation Look.. ~~~ I did the exactly the same make up, except I added the fake eyelashes..~~~ I did the exactly same make up for my graduation day.

I thought that fake lashes wouldn't be hard, but took me a while to stick it on in the right place>< I'm a noobie...

Here's the things I used for the look.

Face:
- Dr Jart BB cream silver label
- Everyday Minerals semi-matte foundation in fairly light neutral
- Nars Laguna bronzer
- Nars DT blush
(NOTE: the bb cream's colour is abit too ashy.. so the fairly light neutral kind of makes the colour more yellow)

Eyes:
- Mac paint pot in bare study
- Mac fluidline in blacktrack
- Majorlica Majorca eyeshadow in BR 751
- Kissme Heorine mascara
- fake lashes

Lips:
- Mac modesty lip stick
- Revlon lipgloss in Nude Lustre

I love how the eyelashes looks.. kind of dramatic, yet makes you look semi natural.. HAHA contradictory but o wells~~~
hehe I haven't updated on Mac for a long time.. I stalked him today hahaha =D

So cute.. Sleeping with one arm under him another one tucked under LOL =D

FOTD ~~~

Hello all ~~~

I realise that every one's reviewing the Dr Jart's bb cream.. LOL may because it is good~~~ and everyone is in love.... I've tried so many the only 2 I really like is this Dr Jart silver label and Missha M Perfect Cover bb cream..~~~

So here's a FOTD with the bb cream.Here's a photo of the things I used.

Face:

Dr Jart bb cream Silver Label

Diorsnow sublissime powder

Nars Laguna bronzer

Nars Dolce Vita blush

Eyes:

Nyx flamingo

Nyx deep purple

MJ trick on powder pallete the pink part

L'oreal liquid eyeliner in mica black

Kiss Heorine volume mascar

Lips:

Nars Dolce Vita lipstick

I gota apologise for the bluriness of the photos, I tried not to use flash because I think it wouldn't give the right colour but then the camera didn't focus properly without the flash.. I don't know.. I don't like Sony Cyber Shot all that much. planning to get a new camera soon..~~~

So here goes... The bb cream does look pretty pale on me LOL... but it's actually quite natural in a way sounds contradictory... Also I think dolce vita is more of an autumn/winter colour.. too rosy for summer.. But like Nic Nic said, apply it lightly and looks really pretty...

HAHHAA tried to smile here and instead gave a funny facial expression.. oh wells ~~~~

That's all for today~~~ simple quick post nothing special..

hope you all have a great weekend..

P.S vanity: miemie I gota wait until next month for you to post?? sigh~~ lol

Dr Jart BB cream Silver Label REVIEW~~~

Hello All~~

Hope you all having a good weekend?? I' BBQing here in Australia, today will be hitting 39 degrees and sunday is going to be 40+... I aren't going out there..

I thought that the bb cream craze would've died down but it's coming back again. I finished my Missha M Perfect Cover bb cream and I thought since it's summer lets use foundation. Currently I'm using Estee Lauder Double Wear Light foundation in Intensity 2. It's a tad bit darker on me but it's summer here so it's ok.

But I saw Dr Jart BB cream on the web and got me interested so I bought it over at Ebay LOL..

and doing a review now.

This is what it looks like when it comes out of the tube. No Flash pretty ashy greyish colour.

Tested on my hand.

Ok here's a picture of my BARE face.. SHOCKING isn't it?? No flash under day light

Large pores, freckles + acne scars, OMG looks terrible.. T___T

Then here's a picture of my face after applying a thin layer of that bb cream No flash natural day light.

It did cover up some of my pours and mild acne scars but you can still see som freckles left on my cheek But gives a really nice glow and healthy look for my face.

The silver label is for combination/oily skin. It comes in a 50 mL flip top tube easy to carry around and pretty convenient packaging too. []Click Here[] for the official Dr Jart Website. It's in korean so I don't really understand it.. Can't find any ingredient list because it's all in korean but I think this one contains Arbutin~~

I've been using it for 4 days now, no break out, redness, allergy itchy reaction. But I do realise that I don't get little pimples no more.. YAHY~~~.. Haven't used long enough to know if it can get rid of acne scar and whitening the skin. Oil control wise it's pretty good. I have pretty oily T-zone and oily on my cheek that's why I have large pores T___T. So I normally get oily pretty quick but with this I think 4-5 hours then start to get oily and then blot the oil and looks as good as freshly applied. Plus it has SPF35 PA++ so good sun protection.

So No more hassel of sunscreen and primers. i'm happy.

So far so good, looks really natural when put on, none cakey. easy to spread, a pea size product can cover entire face for thin layer, If you want more coverage can add more to areas that needs coverage.

I tried applying a pretty thick layer on my face, It still doesn't cake and gets absorbed into skin pretty quick. LOVE this stuff...

To be Honest, I think I like it more than Missha M Perfect Covr bb cream. Give this product 5/5 so far. Highly Highly RECOMMENDED.. If you are going to buy bb cream for comb/oily skin and ur skin is about NC15-NC 20 Go for this one !!!! if you are any darker than NC20 I won't recommend it because would look too white on you.

Ladies out there Give it a go !!! it's good.. and it smells nice too a bit herbalish LOL

That's all for this, If you have any question please post in comment or in the cbox thing..

have a nice weekend~~~

Haul-age Time ~~~

Hi all ~~~
Thank you so much for the supportive comments for my last post... It's very disturbing and angry, but it's the truth unfortunately.

I had a job interview yesterday morning, afterwards I went to grab some lunch and picked up a few things. I was SOOO happy and then when I got home, a postage was out side my door. hehe.... My Dr Jart bb cream in Silver Label has arrived, I got it on E-bay US$29 free shipping, the seller included a Dr Jart's lip treatment and a bunch of samples. LOL

The seller was really kind and even emailed me saying that it was shipped will be arriving soon. very very kind..~~~ I bought the silver label because I have combination/oily skin. and the Black label is for dry/normal skin. Haven't tried it yet, will review it later after a while of using it.

Here's a bunch of samples she gave me:
Skinfood rice mask ( been wanting to try that)
Skinfood aloe sun bb cream
Skinfood grape seed oil bath gel
and a Mask, not sure what brand that is, all in pink and korean.
then that's a missha cleanser (from gel to peeling) their new product

I went past Missha yesterday, was just browsing wasn't intended to buy any thing. Then I saw the Secret Recipe Whitening Rice Mask. tried it on my hand.. wow smooth and smells so yummy. So I bought it LOL. and the silver tube is Missha's Procure hair treatment, something to heal those damage split ends and dried up hair. Gonna give that a try.

Then I went to Myers, Department store in Sydney. probably equivalent of Sephora?? not too sure. I wasn't gonna buy any thing because I was intended to buy Mac's Mineralized blush in Gentle. Was comparing it to Nar's SIN~~~ I went to Mac counter had a swatch of that colour on my hand. Didn't like it Nothing really special just a cool pinky/gold shimmer blush.. and it wasn't really smooth like Nars.~~~ So I thought I won't buy it.

Wondered over to Nars Counter.... Had a swatch of SIN thought beautiful colour but might be too dark on me, So I had a look at Oasis. LOVE that colour was about to buy it...... and then the sales assistant came over to ask me if I needed any help. She recommended the "O" blush. I told her I don't like that blush because the glitter makes my pours look bigger plus I have DT already so no point. Then She looked at me and suggested Dolce Vita.. I swatch it on my hand~~

WOW dusty rose/red undertoned blush very warm. thought might be a bit dark on me too.. and a very winter/autumn colour. She Insisted to try it on my face. I thought yeah why not If it looks horrid doesn't matter because I will be on my way home LOL...

But I fell In LOVE!!!!~~~ super pretty blush.. I like it more than DT HAHAHA... I'm so unfaithful... I ended up getting the dolce vita lipstick too..

Wish Flash

With No Flash

Dolce Vita Lipstick

Hehe, you bored of my haul yet?? here's pic of my dog Mac Sleeping. I was stalking him LOL

Such a big baby...

Yeah, that's all for now.. will do swatches and look later.~~~

Take cares...

BB cream/Foundation Comparison 2

Hey All ~~~

Thank you for the kind comments from last post. Just trying to help girls out there who are thinking of purchasing products that I have.. to look up review and things..

oh and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEARS!!! hehe this is the year of OX/COW. LOL hope every one has a good year and wishes come true.

Ok I will get on with the post. Here's a list of the bb cream/foundations I have. The swatches are in my last post.

Preface:

So here's some tips for my review and how I set up the table. Obviously the Full score is out of 5 for every thing. The scores are given relatively in this comparison means they are compared against each other therefore not comparing to a set standard. If that helps.

Also the review is given solely on own opinion and based on the effect on my own skin. I have combination/oil skin. Sometimes it's actually quite dry as well. Have oily T-zone especially around nose area, forehead and cheek area around the nose. I am not extremly sensitive, but alcohol contained products dries out my skin like crazy. ( Do NOT use The Body Shop's Seaweed range for oily skin. It was SO harsh, had bad reactions return it after a week.)

I use sunscreen before applying any of these product because I don't believe the sun protection factors on these. I use Shiseido Anessa SPF 50+++ golden label sunscreen. LOVE this stuff. Non-oily sticky, no white caste, smoothes out ur make up. Never got darkened from the sun by using this. On top of that, I finish the bb cream/foundation with MAC Mineralise Natural Finish Powder.

All Products has been tested for atleast 2 weeks to actually come up with a score /review.


I did the table in Excel and made it as a picture so I think it's a bit fuzzy but still literate I guess.

Chapter 1:

1. Missha M Vita is suitable for dry/normal skin it's very moisturising. Best to use in the winter. contains multi vitamins and plant extracts. Is a good BB cream had no acnes when I use it but too oily for me So I stopped using it.
2. Missha M Perfect Cover is great. I love this stuff, I gave it a 4.5 instead of full score is because it can look cakey if applied too much and does oxidize a bit and it rubs off LOL... so becareful. other than that I love it. great coverage, high SPF and used it all winter made me 2 shades lighter
3. Hanskin Magic BB... er...... I have to say I only used this for a week. because I realised it gave me pimples/bumps. Made my skin oily hardly have any coverage. didn't like it at all. Some people say is good So I tried it. but T___T Not for me
4. DermaRX Skin79 bb is quite good. pretty good oil control, nice coverage. Did go whiter from this bb and less acne because it has anti-bacterial content. But the only thing I didn't like was the Colour. 1 shade only and SOOO Dark Grey. good for summer but in the winter I think better stay away. This is 2nd to my M Perfect Cover. But it's a bit thick to spread, have to use it when ur moisturizer is still wet then you won't have a problem.
5. Skinfood Gingko bb #1 is yellow based bb cream, I like every thing about this one except for the oil control. doesn't seem to control oil that well. and It doesn't last that long either, half way through out the day it's like nearly gone already.. the coverage is not all that good but it did clear up my skin =p
6. Skinfood Aloe Sun bb #2 is pink based bb, It has silicone in it. SPF 20 Oil control is better than Gingko and stays on my face longer too. and Some how the coverage is better than Gingko.

Chapter 2:

1. CD forever flawless, I got this foundation from Fuz Kittie's Recommendation. I acually quite like this one. A natural make up look, non-cakey. Lasts for a long time. But does oxidise on me a bit, gotten darker as the day goes on. may be cuz My face is going oily LOL.
2. MAC SFF NC20, LOVE this foundation. Some people say it breaks you out. This one didn't break me out. I was happy with that. great coverage, lasts all day, pretty good oil control too. In the summer heat of 36 degrees it still stays. A BIG plus for this one is that it's Oil FREE...~~~ but contains alot of silicones in the product. PERFECT Match to my skintone. FULL SCORE.~~
3. Estee Lauder Double Wear Light, new foundation came out last year. A modification over the original double wear. I Like this one too. Stays all day, great coverage, the only thing is that it oxidies a bit. other than that I like it =p great for summer. cuz I got #2, a bit dark on me I think... The sales assistant said #2 for me.. but guess she was wrong. DOUBLE WEAR LIGHT coverage
4. Rimmel Lasting Finish. This is really creamy textured foundation. similar texture to DWL, at first I liked this one, but it oxidised on me SOOO BAD.. you wouldn't believe. I walked around with a dark face in the afternoon =__='''
5. Chanel TI liquid, I don't know what happened to this one, It was SO oily On my face after 1-2 hours. I tried it with a primer, a different powder just didn't work for me T___T... If it wasn't so oily It would've been great. It has fine pearlised powder which gives that GLOWY look. Looked SOOO nice when first applied. but after a while just melts off my face. I am swapping this one away If I can't make it work..

Chapter 3:

Up coming post on different powders I have.

I also bought a new BB cream, Dr Jart Silver label. This one is for Oily Skin as for the black label is for dry/normal skin. Don't know how that will go. Saw some websites and youtubes on that review. So was Tossing between BRTC or Dr Jart. Dr Jart Silver Label Review

P.S: that's a LONG post.. hope it helps every one. If any questions just put it in comment or the box on the right hand side.

Foundation Comparison

Hey all ~~~

I haven't really been home for the past week. Been over at my aunty's house for a visit and It's Chinese New Years soon, so getting busy with family functions and stuff. Um.. this is off topic but I am Addicted, to this show called " The Big Bang Theory".. lol I consider my self a nerd too cuz I did Chemical Engineering and those quantum physics and maths and chemistry is not new to me.. LOL... When I was in 2nd yr Uni would love to transfer to Berkley's Uni In USA for a semester or two. hehe.. It's a funny show, I find it funny because I can so see how those nerd are acting the way they do. Cuz with the knowledge you have of physics/maths and chem you can see show much illogical things around you. Ok I will stop here and get on with the post

So I promised a foundation/bb cream comparison post. So I will do this in 2 posts, just incase it gets too WORDY..

Here's the bb cream and foundations I have.

Top Row is all bb creams: ( From left to right)
1. Missha M Vita bb cream
2. Missha M Perfect cover bb cream #21
3. Hanskin Magic bb cream
4. Skin79 Derma RX bb cream
5. Skin food Gingko bb cream #1
6. Skin food Aleo Sun bb cream #2

Here's a picture of these bb creams in the same order Left to right correspondingly.
Bottom Row (Left to right)
1. Christial Dior Forever Flawless liquid foundation #022 ( a bit pink toned)
2. Mac Studio Fix Fluid in NC20
3. Estee Lauder Double Wear Light #2
4. Rimmel Lasting Finish Mineral wear #100
5. Chanel Tinte Innocence liquid foundation #020 Cameo

Here's a picture of the foundations in the same order from left to right.

In general, the bb creams has a more of a greyish tone and has more benfit for skin. I do realise that using missha M Perfect Cover bb cream over the winter gave me less pimples and a dramatic whitening of my skin. As for scar reduction, I think it does work but not entirely sure because I do scrub and removal of dead skin. and scars naturally fade over time. But I do have to say that I didn't like the Hanskin Magic bb cream, I have combination/oily skin and that is just Horrid, super oily after like 1 to 1.5 hours. had no coverage what so ever, it was like a pre makeup base kinda finish. Goes on EXTREMELY sheer, didn't like it. and Notice that it gave me pimples T___T I was kinda shocked So I stopped using it.

As for foundation, it I bought different tones for different times of the year and My skin colour kept on changing cuz of Bb cream during winter so My shades were like lighter and ligther. but now it's summer here, BBQing in 36 C degrees heat I don't want my face to look so white casted so I go for a more tanned darker shade of foundation to make me look sun healthy. The foundations have different textures and coverage. I will do a table for the next post to compare the different factors.

Stay Tuned~~~

that's all for today. hope it helps..

[]FREE[] Sample Give Away!!!

Hey Guys.

Thank you so much for the hair advices. I have a new idea in my head now.

I'm thinking of giving away FREE product samples (5g); but you just have to pay for the Shipment fee which is US $5. The postage is not only for 1 sample product but as many as you like and as long as it FITS in the envelope.

As for the Payment.. I guess Paypal is the easiest???

Well, I figured I have all these bb creams & other products sitting there which I tried only once or twice (some products are just back ups of my other ones which i'm not really using atm). and It's gonna be wasted if it's just sitting in my draw, so I want to make some use of them.

The Samples comes in a little pink plastic screw top jar and will have approximately 5g of the product for testing. If you are interested please send email to red_tomato886@hotmail.com

So here are the Product sample list:

- SkinFood Gingko Green bb cream (Colour #1) [suited for light/yellow base dry-normal skin]

- SkinFood Aloe Sun bb cream SPF 20+ (Colour #2) [suited for medium/pink normal-combination skin]

- Skin79 DermaRX bb cream [suited for medium normal-combination skin]

- Missha M Vita bb cream [suited for dry light-medium dry skin]

- Missha M Perfect Cover bb cream (Colour #21) [suited for normal - combination skin]

- Shiseido Pureness Balancing Softener alcohol free [suited for combination- oily skin]

The reason why I'm giving away the shiseido softener is because I got it as a gift with two other shiseido products and haven't really got a chance to use this yet but when I opened it, it has this scent not strong at all but I don't like my toner to have fragrance in it. So it's just been sitting there doing nothing while I only pumped it once.

This is a Special One, I know that Jurlique is hard to find in USA and relatively expensive so I have a few products here if you wanted to try them I can sample them too.

- Jurlique Citrus Finishing Silk Powder [a setting powder and for oil blotting]

- Jurlique Arnica Cream [for dark eye circles/bruises and acne scars]

- Jurlique Balancing Day Cream [ for moisturising dehydrated skin and maintain skin balance]

If you have any questions regards to any of these products feel free to leave comments or email me. I promise you these products are all in good condition, and they will be hygiencally transferred to the sample jar.

Take Care. Have a nice day.

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream #21

Hihi

I have bought this bb cream about nearly 1 month ago. and have been using it religiously every day except the 1 or 2 days of the week which i deceide to stay at home and bludge around...

any hows... Here's the review i promised on this bb cream.

Left one: Missha Perfect Cover bb #21

Right one: Missha M Vita bb cream

The consistency is a bit more thicker than the Missha M vita, and it's lighter in colour. A little goes a long way. Even though it's a bit thicker, it's still spreadable, but i find that if i use too much, it kinda of streaks on my face. leaving like lines.. (like how you apply foundation with a brush and it streaks) unless you sort of rub it in, and wait for it to absorb a bit...

But, it's coverage is amazing. it covers about 60-70% of my acne marks. the lighter -medium ones. if you have dark acne marks then i dont think it does much of a good job. As you can see, the color # 21 seems a lot lighter than Missha M Vita, but it helps to brighten up the face.

It's oil control ability on the other hand, is WAY better than the M Vita one. M Vita seems to be more oily and moisturising. good for dry skin people or normal skin during winter. The perfect cover bb cream doens't make my face go oily. may be a bit during the afternoon, but i only have to blot once and that will last me until night. But it's not smudge proof. It tends to transfer some onto my oil blotting paper. But i Do top it off with my silk dust from EDM.

I recommend people who want to buy BB cream do go for this one. Out of ALL the other bb creams i tried, i think this one is the best. But may be you should try to compare the # 23 and #21 in the shop before you purchase. Because i think #23 is more Natural... When i finish this #21 as it is winter now. i will go buy the #23 for the comming summer....

Any questions just ask me.. I will try to help out..

Blemish Balm BB cream

Sensitive, combination/oily, easily blocked pores and some pimples and scars.

Missha M Vita bb cream Spf 20 (8/10)

Its consistency is like tinted moisturizer, not as thick as liquid foundation. pretty easy to blend. and if you use more than one layer of it on your face, you won't look cakey or flakey unless you have REALLY dry skin and got too much dead skin. but you can see from the photo that the colour is greyish pinkish. so if you are really white and pale and with a hint of yellow i think you should avoid this one. When i use it, after about 15-20 min it settles down and blends really well with my skin so looks all natural. It's coverage is light to medium, can cover some light scars. It's oil control ability is nothing to talk about, gets oily after 3-4 hours and need to blot every now and then unless you use blotting powder or silk powder from EDM then you will be fine. Does give a dewy healthy look but no glowing effect. It's surpose to be good for dry skin, so if you have combination/normal skin I recommend you try this one as well. I religeously used it for a week and a bit, it does improve my skin condition, and the pimple scars and redness are fading quickly. and didn't cause any break outs so i'm happy. It did what it promised.

Skin79 Derma RX bb cream Spf 15 (7.5/10)

Its consistency is thick, definately thicker than Missha M vita. similar to a liquid foundation so it takes a bit more time to blend and apply to face. And this one you can see in the picture it's darker and got more of a grey tone to it. when I applied it, it did look greyish but it's coverage is medium better than Missha M Vita. but if you apply more than one layer or more than you actually need, it tends to look cakey and unatural. It's oil control ability is better than Missha though does get oily at the end of the day. I use it for a week also, to be honest it didn't really do any thing for me. It surpose to whiten and help with the blemishes. It did whiten a little bit may be, but i will had a few pimples, may be it was too thick and clogged up my pores. not too sure. but i want to try other bb creams form skin79.

Skinfood Aloe Sun Spf 20 bb cream (6.5/10)

I heard alot of good review for this bb cream so i decided to try it. Its consistency is similar to Missha may be a little bit thicker but definately not as thick as skin79 derma RX. It's really easy to blend and apply but. I got this one in shade 2, it's a tad too pink for me, some girl said if you mix shade 1 and 2 you can get a natural tone. It has a light-medium coverage, but it does look pinky on me. it's oil control ability is better than both skin79 and missha so there goes a tick. But some how i think it's breaking me out a bit. getting blocked pores and little little bumps.. um... >_<>

Skinfood Green Gingko bb cream (7.5/10)

This bb cream is a bit different to the aloe one, this one gives a more dewy healthy look. but some oily skin people might find it a bit too oily. It doesn't have spf therefore a sunscreen is needed when you go out from the house. Its consistency is about the same as the aloe one, but i got this one in shade 1, from the photo it's a bit more lighter and yellower which sort of blends into my skin better than the aloe one. Though, it's coverage is pretty light, doesn't cover up most of my scars or pimples. this bb cream hydrates the skin like the Missha M vita, but do need to blot quite often. I use silk dust from EDM over the application so i'm fine with that. can't really tell the long term effects yet. but so far no breaks outs and little bumps. so all good

I'm waiting to try Missha M Perfect Cover spf 42+++ bb cream. heard a lot good review about it.
