BB Cream FYI



I just wanted to share Michelle Phan's (YouTube make-up guru extraordinaire ^^) take on BB Cream since it's all the rage now, and why in the world there is that "ashy" undertone.  So, whether you are much experienced about this product or a newbie, she will give you a bit more information on it:


As for me, I wear BB Cream everyday (with dabs of concealer to hide the blemishes) and my newly found foundation (without having to use concealer) for special occasions or when I feel like it.

So, how do you do your make-up?

Thanks for stopping by ^^

Etude House Dream On Foundation Slim and Cover Review

Review TIME!!

Although it took a long time, at least I'll have a more conclusive review for your benefit ^^  With all the photos and time I have right now, you may even enjoy my take on that Dolly Wink eyeliner I've promised golly oh-so-long-ago!  Meh....  Real sorry for that. T^T

Let's do this thing!!  \(^0^)/

Etude House Dream On Foundation Slim and Cover in #2 Natural Beige Review
Geeweez with these loooong names! -___-  Anyway, I've mentioned before that the reason I chose this product instead of a BB Cream was because of the uber cute bottle and that cap was simply too-too kawaii!  Korean cosmetics are usually not only really good generally but they're pretty eye-candies, but then there are those crazy mile long names :S  Anyway, am I glad that I did end up with this!  You can purchase one for yourself at BB Cream Boutique, and as always, shipping is $6.00 flat rate ^♥^

Formula
Goes on smoothly and I use a foundation brush to spread it evenly.  The formula is thicker than BB Cream, hence more coverage.

Color
Color matches my skin tone well since I'd rather be pale than tan... and there's no grayish undertone which you'll usually get with BB Cream.

Pros
Goes on smoothly with a brush.
Great coverage.
Matches my skin tone well.
No grayish undertones.
Affordable price.
Super cute packaging.
Delicate floral scent.
No breakouts!
SPF22/PA+

Cons
Only comes in two shades :(
Maybe too thick for everyday use.
Ridiculously long name!  (See how I'm so hung up on this??)

Conclusion
I recommend it!  It doesn't make my face look as much like an oil spill after a long day.  I've come to really appreciate it for what it has to offer and BB Cream Boutique does a good job sending my orders on this side of the globe.  So, yay and wins all around!
