[Etude House] EtudeHouse Precious Mineral BB cream Bright Fit W24 Honey Beige

This is my favourite BB cream till now. I have to say that I have a lot of stuff from Etude House and I'm  pleased with them. I had the first edition of  Etude House BB cream when they were only 3 shades and mine was the one for oily skin but it was too bright for me so I gave it away.
Precious Mineral Bright Fit is gorgeous for me. The only thing that I don't like is oil control but I usually fix that with loose powder.

Description:

Precious Minearl BB Cream promotes silky complexion with pearl infused sheer coverage.
Contains adenosine & arbutin for anti-wrinkle & whitening efficacies.
SPF for UV protection.


How to use:

Apply cream to all areas of the face and pat to finish.

Just for comparison with Hada-Labo N2. It looks really dark but when you spread the cream, it blends nice.





You can see the difference on my skin. The texture is watery and easy to spread. The scent is mild, nothing special, but OK. It doesn't give me breakouts, it is not shiny what I like. It really makes the skin smooth and moist.


[Lioele] Dollish Veil Vita BB cream Balm SPF25 PA++ 30g #2 Natural Green

I have to say at the beginnig, I like this BB cream very much. This one is N2, Natural Green. Before I bought it I was thinking between this one and Lioele Triple the Solution but Lioele Triple is only one shade so I decided for Dollish Veil Vita.

The package is cute, I love it, the pump is functional, not like Missha. There are 2 shades: Gorgeous Purple N1 and Natural Green N2.
The first one, pale green at the top, is Lioele Dollish Veil Vita. It blends perfectly with my own skin tone, I love that. The second one is Etude House W24, and the third one is Hada-Labo N2.

Description:

30ml BB cream with double-functions, works as a makeup base and BB cream and it is effective for skin tone correction and coverage. A new type of BB cream which not only protects the skin with vitamins but expressing more natural skin tones by changing capsule colors right after application. It's gives you feeling of moisturized and matte finish. 


Corrects and Shades skins' imperfections, 6 Natural Vitamins to protect your skin, 3 in 1 Functions - Makeup Base + BB Cream + Sun block.

 How to use:

Take the proper amount after basic skincare items and smooth it over the face outwardly and thinly spread over the face. Apply till you can see the color change into skin tone. 

What I like: 
I like the smell, texture, how it blends, coverage.

What I don't like :
 I'm not sure but sometimes I think it gives me little pimples, oil absorption could be better but comparing to other BB creams it is good.

 Would I buy again?
 I don't know, there are a lot of new stuff I would like to try.

Hada-Labo Tamagohada Mild Cleansing Bubble Wash

I wanted to post something about this bubble wash but again I haven't got my photos for it because I don't have it anymore. I bought it a year ago and used it. I thought it would be nice to say something about it  for someone who might buy this wash.
Description:
It is a daily face cleanser which contains AHA (Fruit Acid and Glycolic Acid) and BHA (Salicylic Acid) for removing dead skin cells and dirt for extra cleanliness. It helps to minimize blackheads, blemishes and improve rough skin texture. Skin is refreshed and softened after using this product.   No fragrance, no mineral oil, no coloring, and alcohol free.
Suitable for all skin type.  
It is really mild cleanser, sometimes just didn't do its job of cleansing leftovers after cleansing milk. It has no smell, the foam is rich and nice on the face. Nothing special, I didn't see any improvement on my blackheads and skin texture






ROHTO HADA-LABO Super Hyaluronic Moisturizing Lotion Light

I have bought this lotion because it has hyaluronic acid that is good for skin moisturing and rejuvenating and I have stepped in to the third decade.Well they say it is good for your skin, so I have to try it.

Description:

Hada Labo Gokujyun deep moisturizing lotion toner instantly hydrates skin and helps preserve its optimum moisture balance. Replenishes and locks-in moisture for complete hydration. Skin feels significantly soft and supple. Helps improve dry and dehydrated skin, leaving it silky smooth. Free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol and colorant.

With advanced Nano technology, the intensive hydrating ingredients contained in this toner is able to penetrate into the skin for effective moisturizing result without leaving greasy layer on the skin.



Ingredients:

 How to use:

Use after cleansing. Put some in palm or use cotton pad to saturate the lotion. Gently pat on the skin until it is absorbed. Use moisturizer afterwards for a complete protection.

I use 3 drops and pat it with my fingers on my skin and afterwards put BB cream. Some benefits on my wrinkles I haven't seen yet, I only see instant puffiness that is gone when you wash your face and take off all of your make up.

What I like: 

 I like the texture, it is slippery and 3 drops are enough for entire face so this 170ml last for a really long time. Although I don't use it everyday because my face is getting oily after few hours.This is the light version with green label but my face gets oily inspite of that. I like how it moisturizes little dry skin flakes and afterwards it is easier to put BB cream. It is my SOS toner.
Puff feeling is quite  nice.

What I don't like:

 For my oily face sometimes it is too much moisture and I have a feeling I'm glowing too much.


Would I buy it again?

I don't know, maybe.

Rohto Hadalabo Japan BB Moist Emulsion SPF50+ PA+++

This is my first japanese BB emulsion. Actually my first two BB emulsions, because I have bought both shades, Light Beige(Natural) and Medium Beige(Ochre or somewhere it says Healthy).
 The first one is Medium Beige(purple label), the second is Light Beige(pink label).
At first, light beige was too bright for me so I have bought medium beige to mix them together. Now, my skin is again pale so I don't need the darker shade.

Rohto Hadalabo is a skin care range that uses only the purest ingredients for whitening and hydrating. Rohto Hadalabo aims at improving and maintaining the condition of your skin to create young, dewy and healthy look.

A joint collaboration between Mentholatum Co. in US and Rohto Phamaceutical Co. in Japan, Rohto Hadalabo creates several skin care series for dull and uneven skin tone, dry and dehydrated skin and oily, acne prone skin.


This is emulsion, not cream, consistency is similar to european foundation, creamy type is for dry skin, this one is for oily.

 Description:

A BB cream for moisturizing, sun protection, makeup base and light coverage.
This BB cream contains Hyaluronic Acid for softening and moisturizing results. It conceals and corrects skin complexion for natural, glowing appearance. Thanks for the "spherical soft focus powder" contained in the product that adheres to the skin so well and reflects the light to create smooth and soft results. As such, large pores and wrinkles are less visible. 

This BB cream also gives you light and even coverage with SPF protection in order to protect your skin from the damages of UVA/UVB.
No fragrance, no mineral oil, alcohol free, hypoallergenic.
Light beige shade for light to medium complexion.


  


How to use it:
Use it after toning. Shake it well and put some in palm. Apply to the skin directly. Use loose powder to set the BB cream if you like for long lasting result.

What do I like:

 No smell, no breakouts, easy to blend, no problem with matching my skin tone. Oil control could be better, after a few hours I start to glow, so I have to use loose powder.

What I don't like:

 You have to be careful with the amount of emulsion because too much look cakey and fills pores.

Would I buy it again?  

I don't think so, there are so many other I would like to try out.

SKIN79 VIP Gold Super Plus BB Cream

Well, for this cream, I have to say, I don't have my own photos because I don't have it anymore. I gave it to my friend.
This cream has a lot of ingredients that supposed to be real miracle workers, but I didn't see any of this. Again there is only one shade that is too grayish for me and I think it would be good for people with dry to normal skin, not for one with oily skin definitely.
Packaging is realy cute, I like the design, it is kind of profound. Sorry for the photo, it is not mine.
Description:
Enriched with ingredients such as high-quality green tea and black tea, the Oriental Gold BB foundation promotes healthier skin, reducing the signs of aging. With multifunctional abilities, this Skin79 foundation provides whitening, wrinkle smoothing, and sun protection.  The additional supplements in this Skin79 foundation make dull or dry skin more lively and fresh. The presence of caviar extract in this Skin79 cream improves skin elasticity while the peptide MX complex keeps the skin hydrated throughout the day.

How to use:
Apply small amount of BB cream over  your face. For oily skin type minimize the usage of basic skincare to control any excessive oil. 

What I like:
 Like the coverage, it is quite good. Doesn't give me breakouts.

What I don't like:
 Too thick, hard to spread, scent is weird, too grayish, gets in my pores and that looks nasty.

Would I buy it again?
No.

L'egere Legere Super Light UV Whitening BB Cream SPF34

I have bought this BB cream after I watched video on Youtube saying L'egere is good for oily skin.
Well, again there is a little problem, you can't choose shade. There is only one shade and it is too white for me. I can't unerstand how is this cream shade good for asian women because it is not quite true that it blends and adapt to your own skin color.

Description:


Conceal any pigmentation or discoloration area on face including acne, pores, age spots, sun spots and dark circles. Block the penetration of UV rays and other harmful factors with sun protection factor of 34. The polymeric powder can reduce oil secretion, and effectively absorb oils. No sense of thick makeup is felt when applied.

A cooling additive provides a freshening and non-oily feeling. Secures the skin after sunlight exposure.
Performs as a day cream, protection cream, liquid foundation and decorative cream. Hides pores, pocks, dark eye bags and other defects. Just this one bottle can provide you with enhancement, decoration, and maintenance!

Not only is this light-weight BB Cream full of moisturizing properties, it has superior whitening powers and offers high sun protection.


Benefits: Whitening, Moisturizing, Anti-aging, Renewal , Skin securing after sunlight exposure
This is how it looks on my skin. Quite white.
This is after I have blended it, but I have to mention, skin on my hand is not the same shade as on my face.

How to use: Take an appropriate amount and apply a small dab to your cheeks, forehead, and chin. With the tips of your fingers spread bb cream evenly throughout your face. To avoid bb cream from caking, let sit for 5 minutes before building bb cream up for more coverage, and before apply any loose powders to set it with.


 What I like:

 I like the scent, it is kind of baby cream scent and I like that. Oil control could be better but it is OK, I always put powder to create natural color because without it, I would look like a ghost. I really think it makes my skin tone whiter and improves skin texture a little bit. It doesn't give me breakouts.

What I don't like:

It doesn't match my skin tone, I have to put powder to look natural and gain some color. If you have some dry skin parts, it won't look very nice when you put cream on it. It is hard to spread onto  your face.

Would I buy it again?

No. 

Missha M Perfect Cover BB CREAM No.23

First, I wanted to write about my worst BB cream. That is Missha Perfect Cover. Many people are satisfied with this cream, but for me it is a big NO. I have oily sensitive and acne prone skin and Missha is to oily for me. I'm looking for matte finish and this is where Missha fails. And what is worst it gives me break outs. Just terrible.

So start with the things that Missha should do:
Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream offers a novel skincare concept with BB cream, which lightens skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability, and prevents skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties.

Like I have said, this doesn't work for me, maybe for someone who doesn't have oily skin and problems with pimples.

The only thing that I could say is good that is the color that blends nice with my skin tone. I used No23 and I would say I am not too dark and not too pale, something in between.
Missha Perfect Cover No23 is the left one, the right one is Lioele Dollish Veil Vita BB Cream No2.

How to use: Apply appropriate amount onto the skin and massage following the skin texture.

What I like:
Nothing
What I don't like:
Everything
Will I buy this again?
No
