Favorite BB Cream

BB cream which stands for blemish balm originated from Germany. It was made to help patient with skin surgery, it became extremely popular in Asia especially in Korea. I tried some korean BB cream products in the past but to my dismay, it broke my skin out.

Now it's in America all over our drugstores, Revlon, Maybeline, Loreal, and many more popular brands have caught on. My favorite right now is Loreal's Magic Skin Beautifier BB cream. It feels like a tinted moisturizer for me and it's not heavy like most foundations. It left my face matte which gives you a natural look. Loreal's Magic BB cream is perfect for me because I have little to no blemishes. I also have dry to combination skin.

Price$7.99

Loreal's BB cream features:


Primes to smooth skin texture
Perfects to hide imperfections
Hydrates for all day moisture
corrects skin for healthy looking even combination

Brushes won't work with this product since you need to 'activate' the color pigment beads through application. If you are extremely rough and quick with application of creams and liquids then this product will feel harsh however with gentle circular motions, it melts the BB cream into the skin and you barely notice the "beads".

The Verdict?

Pros
Blends Well
Easy To Apply
Affordable
Easy To Take-off
Good Pigmentation
Lightweight
Long Lasting
Natural Looking
Smooth

Cons

Sheer
Less coverage

July Beauty Product of the Month 2012

My favorite product of the month of July is:

Sonia Kasuk's HIDDEN AGENDA CONCEALER PALETTE!

I cannot live without this concealer palette, the colors blends so well against my light-olive complexion. I believe this palette is easily blendable so it will match many light to medium skin tones. I recommended this product to my sister and she loved it!

I usually blend the top right salmon tint with the bottom left greenish tint "neutralizer" color, sort of a muddy, army green, covers redness beautifully and blends with my skin so it looks more natural. This blending technique covers up my blemishes well, and glides on smoothly. Then I use the top left lightest tint and blend with top right salmon tint for under eyes dark circles. Sometimes, this was all I needed for my face, no need for foundation. :) With reaping benefits, I feel that this is even comparable to a more "high-end" product at sephora.



Beneficial Ingredients Rich in treatment ingredients this palette contains: Jojobal Oil, Horse Chestnut Extract and Apricot Oil for smoothing and emollient properties; Vitamins A, C & E protect with anti-oxidant and anti-aging action.
