BB Cream

Who here knows what BB Creams are? Honestly, I didn't know much about them until last year but boy am I glad I discovered them.  

One day, on my way home from work, I stopped by to grab some dinner and I see this adorable little store (Sune).  I walked by it and saw some advertisements in the window for this thing called BB Cream.  I did what any intelligent consumer would do: I went home, went online and googled "bb cream."  I discovered many many MANY blogs that talked about BB Creams.  Some of my favorites are Beautifymeeh, BubzBeauty, and MusingsofaMuse.  Each one does a fantastic job of reviewing skin care, make-up and bb creams.  I used them as a basis of possibly purchasing some bb creams.  Then I stumbled upon an article (can't remember where it was now) that talked about Korean and Japanese skin care.  Seriously, those actresses have such amazing skin!  I know that make-up and lighting plays a big part in it but they don't look like they have a lot of make-up on and their skin STILL looks amazing.  The article said something about a 5 step cleaning regime and BB Creams.  So I knew then that I needed to try these things.  I went back to Sune and got some samples of BB Creams.  I tried them all and ended up buying these 2 in regular sized bottles.  

Liole Dollish Veil Vita BB Cream in Green

Cost: $22

As a BB Cream with double function of makekup base and BB Cream, it's effective for skin tone correction and coverage which not only protecting skinwith vitamins but expressing more natural skin tone by changine capsule color righty after application.  It gives you feeling of moisturized and matte finish.

Suitable for all skin type, the green base is good for controlling redness

I love this BB Cream.  I use it when I'm wearing make-up (which is rarely) or whenever my face seems a little red from the weather, i.e. cold wind, winter.  I use about a dime size amount for my whole face and then throw on some loose powder to set it.  I love this BB Cream cause all it does is even out the redness in my skin.  This is not for someone who wants coverage for dark spots!  I've had the bottle since November 2011 and there's still a lot left.  I'll have to finish it up soon since I probably shouldn't keep it open past 6-9 months.

Skin79 Super Plus BB Cream Triple Function

Cost: 15?

TOTAL SOLUTION BB CREAM WITH 10-IN-1 EFFECTS. Moisture based triple function BB cream takes care of the base as well as colour makeup and allows the skin to look bright and natural without greasiness or feeling tight.

This BB Cream claims to do it all: whitening, wrinkles, sebum, moisture, skin barrier, uv protection, corrects skin tone, skin adhesion, base makeup.  So far, so good.  I got the small size of this bottle because I was still on the fence about it.  I like that fact that this blends in fairly well with my skin color (I'm not as light as other asian girls so a lot of BB Creams make me look ashy) but it wasn't very easy to spread around.  When i'm not going to wear make-up I'll put on about a dime sized amount of it all over my face and walk out the door.  This happens almost everyday when it's nice and warm outside.  As you can tell, I have been using it a lot due to the uncharacteristically warm weather in San Francisco!  The text on the bottle is practically wiped out.  I also love that the bottle has a little nozzle pump so I can't get it all dirty.  I've had this since November also (I think) and I'm more than halfway done with the bottle.  When it's all gone I will definitely buy another one.

Those are the 2 full sized bottles I have.  Next post will have all of the sample sized ones I've tried!  Also, look forward to posts for 2 guest speakers!

See you next time!
