Hey Pretty Ladies!
I haven't posted in a while! How long has it been? A month? Haha. I've been quite busy recently, with the holidays coming up and all. I've purchased tons of products but I really haven't had the chance to review them. I'll make a ton of reviews over the next few weeks, so please stay tuned!
BB Cream Haul
Anyhow, I have been noticing a lot of Asian women (East Asian, to be more precise), like using BB Creams, instead of the usual foundations or make up bases. Alot of cosmetic companies here have started manufacturing BB Creams in response to the demand for it due to the Korean Craze. Moi, being the one never to be left out, purchased one directly from Korea.

| My Shipment!! |
Well, according to my research, BB Cream stands for either Beauty Balm, Blemish Balm or Beblesh Balm and was initially used for women who went through laser surgery to protect their skin from UV rays. It's like a tinted moisturizer, but with better coverage, sun blocking, and anti-aging properties.
Products
I heard that a popular brand of BB Creams there is Skin79. I immediately placed an order for it. I got the product a month after. I wasn't disappointed at all!
I got:
 |
| Complete Haul: Skin79 Miniature Set, Skin79 Super Plus BB Cream, BB All-in-one Cleanser and a sampler I don't know what to use for (Holika Holika 3 Seconds Starter Collagen). |
Miniature Set:
I was sooo excited to get this! I really wanted to get this since it had their most popular products in the set. I really wasn't disappointed with the pack, well, except for one. I'll be reviewing all the BB Creams in this set in a separate post.

| I wish I didn't throw the box away.. >.< |
The only one I didn't like is the Pearl BB Cream. It made me look like a walking disco ball. Ewwww.. I'm a fan of matte things, so I really detest the pearl variant.
 |
| VIP Gold Super Plus BB Cream, Hot Pink Super Plus BB Cream, Diamond The Prestige BB Cream, and the Diamond Luminous Pearl BB Cream. |
Hot Pink Super Plus BB Cream 25 ml
I also ordered the 25ml tube of the Hot Pink Super Plus BB Cream. I'm currently using it, and I'm currently loving it! It's really amazing.. ^^ Though it has this grayish tinge to it, it still evens out after application. It's really perfect for everyday use! I'm not even thinking of using foundation again....well, except for special occasions though.. ^^

My supplier was quite happy with my purchases, so she decided to throw in some sample packs. I haven't tried them yet, but I'll be updating you as soon as I do! ^^
