BBcream Review: Etude House, Missha, Skin 79, Mioggi

I started using BBcreams last year when i keep on hearing great things about them, but only sparingly. But time after time, I started to use it regularly as foundation, and I really love it! It provides great coverage and it doesn't feel heavy or cakey like foundation does. I don't even need to wear moisturiser with the BBcream. If you are feeling really lazy like me, BBcream is all you need before applying make-up. Most of them have whitening and anti-wrinkle properties and SPF as well, so it's like several skincare products in one. Below are some of the BBcreams I currently own now:

From Left To Right:


1. Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 23 

I have to say this is probably the one that most resembles foundation. It provides a thick coverage, it feels a little heavy, and is really moisturising. This one covers absolutely everything all those imperfection and etc. However, sometimes, I feel that this one is a little too oilly for me, so if you have really dry skin, this one is perfect for you. 

2. Skin79 Dream Girls BBcream

I have to say that this is the most watery bbcream that I've ever bought. It's more like a tinted moisturiser/sun screen than anything because it has those UV blocking properties. I bought this bbcream because it was the cheapest one I could find at Pacific Mall in Scarbourgh when I forgot my entire make-up case. This sort of reminds me of the Covergirl feather light foundation featuring Taylor Swift, both of these have similar bottling package as well. It's perfect for the younger population aka teenagers who's starting to experiment with make up or as an addition to your skin care routine, but definitely cannot use this alone.

 3. Etude House Precious Mineral BBcream

This BBcream is really really creamy, and as you can tell, it goes on really light (my hand is just really really tanned, and my face is nearly 5 shades whiter than the rest of my body). Here, I've put way too much of it on my hand, because that amount can cover your entire face. It actually goes on a little dry, so I suggest using a moisturiser before using this, and it goes on quiet nicely on the skin. It provides coverage, and yet, it doesn't feel heavy.

4. Skin79 Super BB Vip Gold Collection

This is my absolute favourite bbcream ever. I've been trying to find another one that I like, but I keep on coming back to this one. There's another version of this, but it is exactly the same, and it's packaged in pink

Both of them are exactly the same thing, but are packaged differently, I'm not sure why. But regardless, I've bought them both and tried both, and they are absolutely amazing. This bbcream also acts like a moisturiser and it covers up any redness and blemishes that you have. Also, its not heavy, and its sheer and it gives you a dewy finish.

4. Mioggi BBcream

This is one of the first bbcreams that I've tried and it's not bad. However, I find that it doesn't provide enough coverage, so if you have close to perfect skin to begin with, this is the product for you. It goes on really light, and you doesn't even feel like you're wearing it at all. 

Forever 21 Nail Polish + Sally Hansen Polish

So earlier, I posted a review about the Sally Hansen Nail polish. And being my lazy self and wanting to try out the $1.80 nail polish from forever 21, I decided to just paint on top of the polish. The colours were similar anyway, and I decided that the outcome wasn't too bad.

The Final Look

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (180 Set in Stone) Polish Review

Lately, I've been having this thing for collecting pale pink Nail Polishes because it looks so feminine and girly.
A few that I bought lately were the OPI Romantic Series Mini Polishes, and then the Nubar Pink Polish.
Today, I was with a friend in Wal-mart (again) and I saw this pretty pink Sally Hansen Nail Polish in 180 Set in Stone for only $2!!!!!!!! Awhile ago, I promised that I'd give up on buying those inferior quality nail polishes and start buying OPI polishes. But @ only $2, and a pretty colour, I couldn't resist So I immediately went home to redo my polish, and the result is this:

Now, this is after putting on 5 coats, because the first coat goes on pretty transparent, like as if you're wearing no polish at all but a clear topcoat. It dries really shiny and the colour is great =). I like it, but I don't like it enough to purchase it at the same price as an OPI polish. 

3 Steps to Flawless Skin

Here is my daily routine to getting flawless looking skin that lasts all day





Here are the items that I used:

L'oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base Face Primer
Missha Perfect Cover BBcream
Revolon Colorstay Aqua Mineral Finishing Powder

The key product in here is the Magic Perfecting Base by L'oreal

It has these properties:

• smooths lines
• hides pores
• banishes imperfections
• silky, lightweight formula

And, you can either wear this alone or under foundation, in my case, I wore it under my bbcream =)

Fast Way To Dress Up Mono Coloured Nails

Are you always tired of having the mono colour on your nails and yet at the same time, you don't feel like taking the time to draw designs on them? If you have very little patience like me, then you would definitely want to read on:

To start off, you need 3 things:
a. your favourite nail polish
b. nail decals
c. top coat

Here, I'm using Nars Nail Polish in Temptation, Rimmel 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine in 581 Clear Polish and Black Flower Nail Decals

1. First, just paint your nails with your favourite polish as usual. Wait for them to dry.

2. Next, carefully remove the decals from the backing (be careful with this, because they may rip) and place on nails

3. Place the top coat to seal in the decal

And there you have it! You can be creative with this, you can use these decals alone, or use a same coloured nail polish as the decals and paint only the tips =)

Don't Want to Spend $$$ on Urban Decay Primer Potion?! No Problem!

Before creating this blog, I have went around YouTube and other make-up blogs on make-up tutorials and such, and I have noticed that almost 90% of them have use the Urban Decay Primer Potion before using eye shadow. Now, I have never tried the primer potion myself, because I wasn't about to go into Sephora and spend 25$ CAD for just small bottle(18$ CAD online @ www.sephora.com , but you need to spend over $50 for free shipping) of this and probably will have used up by the end of 1 month.

However, recently, I found an inexpensive alternative to this. Of course, its probably not as good as compared to the Urban Decay Primer Potion itself, but it definitely works for me.

I found this at my local Rexall drug store retailing for $8 (probably cheaper on www.ebay.ca). Now, I have been looking for NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in milk for a very long time, and at the moment, I have only found them retailing at Rexall. Not even Shoppers Drug Mart or Walmart has this line.

I used this along with the Kanebo Kate Line Spicy eyelinear in GY-1 because this eyeshadow goes really soft on the skin and it barely shows on my eyes.

So, I have swatched the colours of the the eye-liner along with the colours that I used the white  NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil as a base. 
Right Side is the original.
Left Side is how the colour shows using the Eyeshadow Pencil as a base.

As you can see, #1 and #2 barely shows up without the help of the white eyeshadow base. As for #3 and #4, the colour might have changed from brown/black to a greyish tone, but I think that has just made the colours look better. And when I use it on my eyes, it stays put all day long and is 100% crease-free. 

This is how it looks on my eyes:

I have also tried the eyeshadow on my Tokidoki Mozzarella Cromatico Palette in the LATTE colour. 

again, the Right Side is the side without the eyeshadow as a base. Left Side is the shadow with the base. 

Without the base, the eyeshadow looks like a yellow-y blue on my skin while adding the base gives a more true colour to it. 

So overall, I think this is a great alternative to the Urban Decay Primer Potion. It goes on really creamy and is super bendable.
