BB Cream part 1/2

Hi! : ) 

I'm gonna write about BB cream, in case you don't know what's is it, well, here's a brief explanation taken from wikipedia haha:

"BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm, is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia. Originally formulated in Germany it was initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes." 

Oh well, to see the full article, click HERE!

So, it's supposed to give you sunscreen protection and help you with oily skin and vanish your blemish and go easy on your acne (in case you have any), this is also for sensitive skin people (like me).

I didn't wanted to make a review until I tested this, so, first I thought there were expensive, buying from the original SKIN79 website (but they have discounts and stuff), because I didn't knew where to buy here in Mexico, and honestly, people from Mexico selling stuff from other countries they just take advantage of you... most of them. SO!, I just bought the compact, and here is my review:


Just a note here, I bought this on June 2011, paid on 16th and it arrived 2 weeks after. And I bought it from the SKIN79 north america website: click here. I haven't started my blog back then so I didn't took pictures last week I got my other compact so these pictures are from last week. : ) I apologize in advance for my bad pictures.





My opinion
Ok, first of all, my skin is really annoying, I had acne so it has some holes because I scratched my face and all that, my skin is also sensitive and it turns red for EVERYTHING, and what I hated the most is that no powder or make up would make my skin look normal, every powder leaved like cracks and it notice to anyone that I had bad skin, it also turned red just in my cheeks but around my eyes it was like yellow/green/white/purple ... because I don't have enough sleep, so it was a really bad combination. The makeup that really helped me to minimize the red stuff was one from CLINIQUE, so when I got the BB pact I used a little base from CLINIQUE and the SKIN79 BB pact, the result was AMAZING.

Results: I don't have red spots, the circles in my eyes disappeared, my pores are closed, my skin have one color type haha, and I don't get oily face through the day!, it's actually awesome. I'll take pictures no my skin before and after the BB cream and compact (because I run out of clinique base xD).

SO, after the magicals effects that I loved about the SKIN79 BB pact, I decided to take a risk and order the  BB CREAM, my pact was about to came to its inescapable ending, then I was on eBay when I found THIS:



It was an auction!, the shipping was FREE, and the items were:


  • SKIN79 Hot Pink Super+ BEBLESH BALM TRIPLE FUNCTION BB Cream 40g
  • SKIN79 Hot Pink Super+ BEBLESH BALM TRIPLE FUNCTION BB Cream Handy 15g
  • SKIN79 Hot Pink SUN Protect BEBLESH Pact SPF30 PA++ 15g
  • SKIN79 Mini Lip Gloss (as FREE GIFT)

All that for the amount of $38 USD!, when the pact in SKIN79 website it's on 19 usd, and the 40g cream on 28 usd, the handy is on 16 and the free gift on 4 usd, buying all on the website is on $ 67 USD! without counting the shipping fees ... I saved around $29 USD! and it arrived at home 3 days after! *_* shipping from korea to mexico... 3 DAYS!... loved it.

So, this is what you get...



















My hand is not big, so, yes they're petit haha, but honestly I used the bb cream from the handy one and with just a little it covered all my face it feels light and fresh, it's totally worth it, and the compact I bought on june last year, is alive till today, I believe the last day for my last year compact will be tomorrow, then I'll start using the new one I got!, so, these items, without using too much, it gives you big results, and the powder last about 8 months and I used it EVERYDAY, so, it's a good purchase in case you have oily face and sensitive skin that turns red at everything, and it's constantly because of the hot weather from here.

Well, as soon I get home, I'll take pictures of before and after BB creams, and tomorrow I'll write the second part of this post!, and the second part of the similar items: dresses post : ) hope you enjoy this.

And remember if you can't affor an expensive brand item, you should take a look at eBay, they are awesome offers there, but you need to look carefully at the shipping and stuff : ).
