Unstoppable smudge proof pencil eyeliner by Maybelline
Loreal True Match Minerals Foundation
Kinda disappointed in this product, saw from forums that after applying bb cream,you can add on mineral foundation for better coverage,this is the first time i tried mineral foundations.I choose N5 honey glow,it was first tested on my hand and look perfect for my skin tone,however when i brush it on my face, nightmare begins..the brush is prickly and the hair sheds off easily,leaving me with a sticky face with lots of hair!
Colour is also darker than my neck and makes me look like i just had a sunburn!Lousy product! Will never ever buy this again!

What is BB Cream?
The BB Cream, aka Blemish Balm, is *the* hottest beauty product in Asia right now. The product was originated in Germany and used by dermatologists to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery soothe and regenerate the skin.
Soon after, Korean celebs started using the cream and a craze was born. Big companies then took the idea and turned it into a product widely available to the public. The new product is suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive and acne-prone skin. It has the advantages of both a makeup and skincare product. It can even out skintone, camouflage undereye circles, acne scars and add radiance to the skin without the heavy mask-like effects of a foundation. Prolonged used of the product will also help improve the overall texture of the skin and fade acne scars.
My 1st encounter with BB cream
My 1st bb cream was a gift from my colleague,BRTC BB perfect Recover Balm,she was honeymooning in Korea and got me a tube,at 1st i was unaware of this product and was told that it is very popular and highly raved in Korea,being a beauty addict and always looking for good beauty buys,i bought the cream home and goggled for the product,gosh!There are so many good reviews and before and after picture,i was so tempted to try the cream!I clicked on a youtube video showing how to use it and followed.

Reviews Of the BB cream i tested on
BRTC Perfect Recovery Blemish Balm
Properties
-Oil Control
-Soothes Blemishes
-Control Irritated Skin
-Coverage
The cream is rather thick in texture,have to apply moisturizer before the cream as it is rather hard to apply, however it is very effective in oil control,my face is not shiny after long hours of work and stay matt all day,coverage is ok as i can still see my acne scar after putting it on,have to use concealer to cover,however it win hands down by its healing propeties!After a month of usage, i can see my acne scar getting lighter! :)
Skin Food BB Cream in Aloe Vera ( Shade 2)
Properties
-Moisturizing
-soothes skin
-SPF 20
The consistency of the cream is much better than BRTC, i do not need to apply moisturizer and it is also very easy to apply the cream,the color is also very flattering and suits my skin tone deeply.Initially it is quite fair and looks fairer than my neck, few minutes later it actually blend into my skin and started to look really natural!This is a wonderful product i swear!
SKIN79 Pink Super Plus Sun(SPF25 PA++)& BB Triple Cream
Properties
- oil free
- Whitening Effect
- UV Protecting SPF25 PA ++
- Improves Wrinkles
I was attracted to the bb cream partly because of its packaging,its pink!!!I like pink since young and always been my fav colour. I have everything in pink! Pink hp, hp pouch,makeup pouch etc...i guess iam too into it,well, back to my review,The cream is easy to apply also, same texture like skinfood,has good coverage as it can cover my pores and acne scars really well,6 hours at work and it still stays on well!However i still like my skinfood aloe :)
Etude BB Bright Cream
Properties
-Nil
This works and feels like a moisturizer,not much need to apply moisturizer before the cream as it is rather easy to apply,not much oil control though,coverage is good as i can see my acne scars concealed after use,however not much effect is seen after a few month of usage,i can see my acne scars. Guess this is not a good one for healing properties.
Coogi Flowertox 3action Super BB Cream
Properties
-Nil
Another well raved bb cream!However the color is too fair for my liking,Oil control is not really good, can feel my face getting sticky after a few hours of application,coverage is thick but not good enough to cover my dark eye circles, unless you apply a thicker layer and some loose powder,it has a pleasant flowery smell compared to other bb creams as its main ingredient is flowers.

- Improves Wrinkles
Same effects as SKIN79 Pink Super Plus.
