POND'S Luminous Finish BB+ Cream in Light and Medium: Swatches and Review.

Press Sample

The BB Cream craze is still going strong, with more and more brands bringing out their own versions. I still maintain that all Western BB creams are basically tinted moisturisers, or tinted primers, so I was expecting this one to be the same. I received the POND'S Luminous Finish BB+ Cream in both Light and Medium (yes, only two shades ._. ) and immediately knew that my pick would be Medium; well, it would have to be, since there's no way I could pull off Light. This is one of the things I don't really like about Western BB Creams, they continue to put out mostly lighter shades, even though there is a huge market for darker-skinned consumers. I can understand it in Asia, since the people buying makeup are primarily lighter skinned, but in the US??? Come on now. Anyway, if you're of a lighter complexion, read on and see how the POND'S BB Cream fared...

POND'S Luminous Finish BB+ Cream Light and Medium.

The consistency is smooth and blendable, more like a moisturiser than a liquid foundation. As you can see, there is quite a difference between the Light and Medium shades, but as the BB Cream is on the sheerer side, it could probably work for a variety of tones in between. It's lightly scented and the smell goes away after application. One thing I really like is that this BB Cream has SPF 15 sunscreen, which I feel a lot of the other Western BB Creams missed. It's not a super high SPF factor, but it's there.

So in the end, the POND'S Luminous Finish BB+ Cream is typical of a Western BB Cream... in that it's basically a perfecting tinted moisturiser, with light to medium coverage depending on how much you put on. I tend to use less, so it gives me lighter coverage. I would say it's one of the better Western BB Creams, as it gives a really nice glow and evens out skintone well, while still looking natural. I sometimes mix it with my Missha BB Cream if I want a bit more coverage and it blends beautifully.

If you're in the market for a tone perfecting, natural looking tinted moisturiser this is a really nice one. I am enjoying using it especially on hot days, as it doesn't feel heavy or thick on my skin. Unfortunately it only comes in two shades, so for you darker-skinned ladies it's a miss.

L'Oreal Magic BB Cream - review, swatches and pics of my skin with & without

So as you know, I'm a huge fan of Missha BB Cream, a real Korean brand BB Cream. I've mentioned before that I think Western companies seem to be putting out super sheer tinted moisturisers and calling them BB Creams, but I'm always open to being proven wrong. I got the chance to try the L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream through SheSpeaks.com and was excited to see if it lived up to the name BB Cream.

From the L'Oreal Paris website:

Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream 

4 Beautifying Actions in 1.
Hydrates, Primes, Perfects, Corrects.
Flawless bare skin finish.

Meet the Magic all-in-one skin BB cream, with Beautifying Beads; encapsulated pigments infused in an ultra-light lotion with antioxidants Vitamins C&E. This mullti-tasking skin beautifier delivers 4 beautifying actions in 1: hydrates, corrects, evens and perfects. Instantly transforms to your perfect shade for a flawless, bare skin finish. Over time, more beautiful skin. 

 This BB Cream comes in 4 shades, Fair, Light, Medium and Deep. I assume they are designed to magically adjust and match your skintone, which is why there are only 4 shades. The one I received is Medium.

As you can see, L'Oreal Magic BB Cream starts out white and has tiny microbeads that react with your skin (idk, I'm not going to get all technical) and match your skintone, while diffusing light, smoothing skin and covering imperfections. It glides on beautifully, but because it's so light and smooth, it can be a bit hard to know if you've got enough on.

For the picture below, I applied L'Oreal Magic BB Cream only on the left (your left) side of my face. Here you can see the subtle, but beautiful effect the Cream has:

L: With BB Cream  R: Bare skin

Sorry for hugeass pic of my mostly makeup-less face.

The coverage is quite light, but it gave my skin a natural, glowing, almost airbrushed look and managed to even out texture and tone, cover my pores and redness and lessen my dark circles. The Medium shade matches my skintone perfectly, I am guessing this is the pigmented microbeads doing. The finish is slightly dewy, but seems to eliminate excess shine. I am absolutely in love with how this looks and feels and even if you're after more coverage, this product would make an EXCELLENT primer. My skin felt so smooth and like I had nothing on.

Now, is this a real BB Cream? Well, the first thing I noticed is that it doesn't have SPF. This is one of the main features of an Asian BB Cream, a high level of SPF. Secondly, it's not as full coverage as most Asian BB Creams, it gives more of a nice, even, natural look. Thirdly, it's not really a Blemish Balm. Pretty much every Asian BB Cream has some kind of skin regenerating, brightening and anti-aging properties. The L'Oreal BB Cream does have Vitamin E though. Overall, while this is not a TRUE BB Cream in the sense of Asian BBs, it is an amazing product and definitely NOT just a sheer tinted moisturiser. I usually only use my Missha BB Cream, but I will definitely be reaching for this product again when I want a lightweight, natural look.

Although the RRP on the L'Oreal site is $10.95, I have seen the Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream at Walmart and Target for around $8.

Flower BB Cream Shade BB3 - Swatches and First Impressions

Recently I purchased the Flower Cosmetics by Drew Barrymore BB Cream from Walmart.com. As I was buying it from a website and it's pretty brand new, I didn't have any swatches to go off, so I just bought the shade I thought would be closest to my skintone. Most BB Creams are on the light side, so I thought Shade 3 would be ok, unfortunately I was wrong! Keep scrolling for product pictures and swatches.

From Walmart.com:

Flower Beauty Balm BB Cream can be used daily to eliminate skin dullness. It covers imperfections, pores and discolorations.

Flower Beauty Balm BB Cream - $12.98:

• Smoothes and softens skin
• Helps eliminate unwanted shine
• Primer, foundation, and concealer in 1
• Fragrance free
• Paraben free
• Talc free

Flower BB Cream Shade BB3

Flower BB Cream Shade BB3

L: BB Cream not blended, R: BB Cream partially blended

 As you can see, it's way too dark for me. Maybe I would use this shade in Summer if I had a tan, but right now I'd look like an extra from Jersey Shore if I tried to rock it on my face. As a result, I can't really review it properly, but I will give you my first impressions:

• Dries soft and matte, like a velvety powder.
• Very slight shimmer, but not overwhelming or glittery looking.
• Feels creamy, but not super moisturising. Very dry skin might need moisturiser underneath.
• Quite long lasting and transfer resistant. This BB Cream wont rub off easily.
• No greyish cast or oxidization - this is probably because it lacks SPF protection :(
• No strong scent. Very light powder smell, totally non-irritating.
• Very pigmented, this is not just a tinted moisturiser like most Western 'BB Creams', it's a foundation.

One great thing about my mistake on the shade is that I now know they do have shades for darker skinned ladies! I am close to NC35 usually, and this one is definitely too dark for me. There is also a shade darker than this one, BB4, so they've done a better job of providing some options for darker skin than a lot of the other Western companies. I will be purchasing BB2 and trying that one out to see if it is closer to my skintone :)

UPDATE: Flower BB Cream is on Walmart.com!

EDIT: Check out my swatches here

Yesterday I posted about the new Flower cosmetics line by Drew Barrymore and the exciting news that they have a BB Cream that is supposed to be a true BB Cream, more like the Asian counterparts. Well today I discovered that Walmart.com has the BB Cream up right now!

From Walmart.com:

Flower Beauty Balm BB Cream can be used daily to eliminate skin dullness. It covers imperfections, pores and discolorations.

Flower Beauty Balm BB Cream:

• Smoothes and softens skin
• Helps eliminate unwanted shine
• Primer, foundation, and concealer in 1
• Fragrance free
• Paraben free
• Talc free

The BB Cream comes in 4 shades and is $12.98 online. I still haven't seen it in store, but apparently some of the Flower cosmetics products have been popping up in small displays at a few stores.

I'm going to check again tomorrow at a couple of different Walmarts, and if that fails I'll just order it from the website. I'm really excited to see if this BB Cream performs as an actual BB Cream.

Have you seen any Flower Cosmetics displays in your local Walmart?

Rant: Your BB Cream is NOT a BB Cream.

The BB Cream craze has well and truly hit the western shores, with almost every makeup/beauty brand in the US coming out with their own version.

What is a BB Cream, you might ask? I assume most of you have heard of them, but do you REALLY know what a BB Cream is? While they are known in the US as 'Beauty Balm', it was formulated in Germany as a skin protectant after surgery, then introduced to Korea as 'Blemish Balm'. They were used by K-Pop idols and actresses as an all-in-one product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sunscreen, to help correct skin problems while providing full coverage, high SPF and anti-aging properties. Sounds like a lot of multi-tasking for one little product, but (some brands better than others) they honestly work. The BB Cream phenomenon spread through Asia like wildfire and picked up a following in Western countries too, however the lack of shades made their fanbase limited. Then, Western companies picked up on the hype surrounding BB Creams and began to churn out their own versions.

But what are they, really, these Western 'Beauty Balms'? Do they help heal blemishes? Do they provide full coverage, without needing to use concealer? Do they have anti-aging benefits? Do they have a high SPF? The vast majority, unfortunately, do not. They are, in fact, glorified tinted moisturisers. And if they are slightly better, they're most likely a high end, expensive brand. So that BB Cream from Revlon or Maybelline that you love so much? While it might be a great, lightweight tinted moisturiser, IT IS NOT A BB CREAM. You are being fooled into thinking that's what a BB Cream is. You are missing out on the gloriousness of what a REAL BB Cream can do for your skin.

For example, I use Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream (a Korean brand) and while it may not be right for everyone, it is like magic in a bottle for me and many others. It covers all the redness, blotchiness, dark circles, large pores and uneven skintone without me having to use a drop of concealer. It has actually HEALED my blemishes and made my skin texture better. Can you say that about your Western 'BB Cream' (can you feel my resentment towards these impostors? Lol)?

This picture is JUST Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 31, no concealer, no primer, no moisturiser (no editing lol). I have bad undereye dark circles, blotchiness and redness in some areas, uneven and dull skintone, blackheads etc etc. A REAL BB Cream will address ALL those problems and more, while still looking natural and not like you caked on the makeup.

Are you getting my drift now? This is why I'm angry, yes ANGRY, that Western companies are just slapping the name 'BB Cream' on any old tinted moisturiser and selling that to the unsuspecting consumer. You. You don't have to take that! Just say NO to Western 'BB Cream'! It upsets me that the term 'BB Cream' is being associated with these jazzed up tinted moisturisers, and the worst part? Most of the Western companies don't cater to darker skinned beauties either! I understand this in Asian countries, but in America? Step your game up, US beauty brands.

All in all, I feel that the introduction of the BB Cream concept into Western markets has been a underwhelming flop. I'd love to see more people being introduced to Asian BB Creams and really experiencing how life changing (no, honestly. Forgive the corniness) a great skincare/foundation all in one product can be. I will never use regular foundation again after seeing what a REAL BB Cream can do. For darker skinned ladies, Missha and Skin Food have a bigger range of shade options, please go and check them out!

Thanks for enduring my rant, I hope you can one day have a life changing makeup experience like me :p and if you do, I doubt it'll be with one of the Western BB Creams currently on offer. Feel free to argue that point! If you have a Western BB Cream that you think is a REAL BB Cream, let me know in the comments! If you have an Asian BB Cream that works wonders for you, let me know which one!

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 27 Review & comparison: No. 23 ‘Natural Beige’, No. 27 ‘Honey Beige’ & No. 31 ‘Golden Beige’

 Ok, it’s LOOOONG overdue, but I finally got around to doing a comparison of these three shades.

I have previously reviewed Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 23 ‘Natural Beige’ and No. 31 ‘Golden Beige’ and was excited to see they introduced a shade in between, No. 27 ‘Honey Beige’.

There was definitely a huge gap between the cooler toned No. 23 and the very warm toned No. 31 and i think No. 27 is a perfect balance between the two. I tend to be warm toned, so although I had previously used No. 23 in Winter when my skin tone was a bit lighter, it was still too cool and had a bit of a greyish cast that was noticeable on my skin. No. 27 is a perfect lighter shade for me in the cooler months.

Left: No. 23                          Middle: No. 27                           Right: No.31

Partially blended in, still creamy

Left: No. 23                          Middle: No. 27                           Right: No.31

More blended, dry to the touch

Left: No. 23                          Middle: No. 27                           Right: No.31

The difference in tone and shade are apparent, No.23 is for much lighter, cooler toned skin. No. 27 is definitely ‘honey’ in colour, whereas No. 31 looks almost orangey next to it.

As for texture, coverage and finish, No.27 is just like the others I have previously reviewed :) I will be using No. 27 in the cooler months and No. 31 in Summer when I have a bit of a tan. No. 23 I think I’ll send to my sister who is lighter than me and a bit more cool-toned.



Check out my other posts on Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream.

I hope this helps anyone who is looking at buying one of these shades!

Missha is a great BB Cream brand and they are constantly having promotions. Recently I got a free full sized BB Cream for the launch of their new site, just for being an email subscriber! They usually post their promos on Facebook and Twitter, but I think being an email subscriber to their website is probably the best way to find out about specials and discounts. At the moment they are offering a e-giftcard with all purchases of $40 or more, $20 off for VIP members and $15 off for existing and new members. I have not been asked by the company to promote them, I just truly love the brand! :)

Brand New Missha BB Cream shade - No. 27 Honey Beige!

View my review and BB Cream comparision with No. 23, No. 27 and No. 31!

Ok, so by now you should all know how much I love my Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream.

Missha is the only brand making a wider variety of shades in BB Cream (for darker skin!) and they've just introduced a new shade, #27 Honey Beige. I'm thinking this may have to be a purchase for me, since #23 is still a little light for me even in Winter months. Lucky for me (and my wallet) they are having a 4 day promo, from today July 20 - July 24 and the BB Cream is only $8.99 + $8.99 shipping & handling ($17.98, which works out way cheaper than any price I've seen for Perfect Cover BB Cream). They also have free shipping for orders over $40, which is pretty great.

Here is the promo email I got:

The offer is limited to one per order.

I'm pretty excited about this (sad, I know) so I had to share :) I'm hoping the other brands (Skin79 etc) will jump on the wagon and release a few darker shades for those of us without milky complexions. I'm interested to see which company will start doing a BB Cream for ladies on the darker end of the colour spectrum, as they have been completely neglected so far. I do give props to Missha for being ahead of the game though.

Do you own any BB Cream? What is your shade, and are you happy to see Missha bringing out darker tones?

NOTE: I am not paid or compensated to share this offer with you. I have not been contacted or asked to post this by PR for the company.

EDIT: Minutes after posting this.... I bought the BB Cream.  Yes, I know.. I have no willpower :) So stay tuned and I will post a review/swatches/FOTD as soon as it comes in the mail!

Review: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream for Darker Skin - No. 31

Ok Beauties…

For those of you that are looking for BB Cream for darker skin, I FINALLY got around to posting about Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream - No. 31 Golden Beige. I have been using it for a little while now, so I feel that I can accurately review it.

From the Missha US website:

Blemish Balm, also called BB Cream, is known to have been formulated as an after-treatment cream to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery to soothe and regenerate the skin.

The M Perfect Cover BB Cream gives an even and natural-looking coverage with the soothing, moisturising properties of a cream. It is suitable for all skin types including acne-prone skin, and can be used as a makeup base or foundation. 

Whitening + Anti-Wrinkle + UV Protection (SPF 42 PA+++)

PRICE : $29.99 SIZE : 50ml

Ingredients:
Water(Aqua), Cyclomethicone, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Zinc Oxide, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mineral Oil, Phenyl Trimethicone, Talc, Arbutin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Dimethicone, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Squalane, Adenosine, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Polyethylene, Beeswax(Cera Alba), Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Caviar Extract, Algae Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Fagus Sylvatica Bud Extract, Ceramide 3, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance(Parfum), Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzyl Salicylate, Hydroxycitronellal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Citronellol
MAY CONTAIN[+/-; Titanium Dioxide(CI 77891), Iron Oxides(CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)]

And remember how I thought I was between 23 and 31, and that 31 would be too dark?

TOTALLY WRONG. 31 is PERFECT. It pretty much matches my skintone exactly now that I am a bit more tan and I L.O.V.E. love it. I still use the lighter No. 23 as an undereye concealer and brightener. This is a perfect BB Cream for darker skin tones.


The colour is a much better match, with warmer undertones that suit my tan skintone. It does look a bit grey when you first put it on, but then it oxidises and turns a more golden colour. Missha is the only brand that makes a BB Cream for darker skin, all the other brands have VERY limited, light shades. Unfortunately, even Missha doesn't have darker tones for Indian/African American etc skin tones.. Here's hoping they'll eventually come out with more shades!

A little goes a LONG way. The first swatch I did I had way too much on my hand and it ended up looking thick and cakey.. So I wiped it off and tried again. That’s the great thing, you only need a small amount; I use one and a half pumps for my entire face and neck area. I don't really have acne scars or dark spots, but it does cover my dark under eye circles really well!

With flash - L: Unblended,  Middle: Partially Blended,  R: Fully Blended

Natural light:

The tiniest dollop on my hand.

Partially rubbed in you can see the grey tinge it has (like a lot of BB Creams), this goes away in about a minute.

Fully rubbed in, it has evened out my skin.

The formula on No. 23 was a bit thicker and heavier, whereas the formula on No. 31 feels lighter, more like a tinted moisturiser than a foundation. It applies really smoothly and feels pretty hydrating and comfortable, almost like you’re not wearing makeup. I’m not sure if this is a difference in formula from the Korean version of the BB Creams to the US version, or just because it is a different shade.. anyone else had any experience with this?

My skin tends to be combination, oily on my forehead and chin but dry around my nose and cheeks. I like this cream because it is somewhat moisturising without turning your face into oil central. It leaves you with a dewy finish, but you can always set it with a matte powder if you prefer. I still use a separate moisturiser under this, because it doesn’t completely get rid of all the dry areas, but I think if you have normal to oily skin you could probably skip that step.

This is called Blemish Balm (or as some brands call it, Beblesh Balm LOL) with good reason. I had broken out on my forehead and thought wearing this might make it worse (you know, like makeup usually does) but it actually healed the blemishes and cleared them up quicker. I also notice that it refines my skin texture. Some people that are sensitive to mineral oil may have a problem with this, but I'm not so it hasn't had any adverse affects on my skin.

Pros:

• Lightweight
• Evens out skintone
• Good base for makeup
• Heals blemishes
• Great colour match for my skin

Cons:

• Not for full coverage of acne/dark scars etc may need to use powder/foundation for more coverage
• Can look cakey if applied too heavily

Timesaver: YES. This is an all in one product for me. Therefore I love it :)

Moneysaver: Yes. Missha regularly sends out special offers and discounts to email subscribers. Usually this is $29.99 plus 8.99 S&H, I got it for $18.99 including S&H.

Quick Update: Missha No. 31 and Going on a No-Buy

No-Buy - capitalised because I must remind myself it is Very Important to stick to it! We are currently in the process of buying a house and every little bit counts. I have placed myself on a No-Buy until we have completed the loan process, put down our deposit and closing costs etc, assessed how much we need to spend on repairs and made sure our savings are enough to cover it all. So for possibly the next two or three months (oh gawd) I will be extra tight with the purse strings. I will probably cave once in a while, but the real mission is to cut down on spending! I have plenty of things to review though, so blogging will continue at the usual pace.

Speaking of which, I received my Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in No. 31 today! If you read my post on No. 23, you will remember me saying I thought I was between shades 23 and 31. Recently Missha sent a secret link to their email subscribers (and tweeted it also) with a promo: Perfect Cover BB Cream for $9.95 + $8.99 s&h. This is a savings of $20 woo! I was pretty much ecstatic, as it gave me a chance to buy No. 31 cheaply and see if I could create my perfect shade. They send these secret links out all the time, so it pays to be a subscriber. They also sent a free product, Garden Pleasure Honey and Lilac Body Scrub which smells divine!

Sorry for the bad quality photo.. I was lazy and took it on my phone... in the dark... yeah, silly me!
Anyone else cutting down on spending lately? C'mon, I don't want to feel alone in my retail therapy drought!!

Review: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 23

Happy Sunday, Beauties! I'm running late with this post because I am all out of sync with the clock. Who had to turn their clocks forward an hour today? I don't know about you, but I dislike daylight savings :( It just seems unnecessary to me. Anyway, onto the BB Cream!

I didn't know anything about BB Creams until just recently, when I saw a tutorial on youtube and the girl applied Missha Perfect Cover Bb Cream. It made her skin look really smooth and flawless, so I started looking into the different types of BB creams. For those of you that don't know what BB Creams are, here is some general info.

General Product Features and Benefits
* Produces a very natural, "no makeup look"

* Provides perfect coverage like a foundation would but since it's not as thick, it doesn't clog the pores

* Works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer

* Conceals all types of pigmentation, discoloration, acne and other blemishes

* Has healing properties that soften, smoothen and refine skin

* Encourages skin regeneration to create and maintain youthful skin

* Contains UV Protection for healthy skin (SPF levels differ for each brand/product)

* Anti-wrinkle and skin-lightening benefits (available for some variants)



What I like about Missha is that they have a bigger variety of shades than the other brands. Since BB Creams were developed in Korea and used mostly in asian countries, the shades tend to be on the lighter yellow toned side. This might work on Caucasian skintones, but for us darker south east asians (Thai, Malay, Indonesian, Filipino etc) it would just look too pale and mask-like. The shade I have is No. 23, although I think I might be in between 23 and 31. I am planning to get 31 as well and see if I can mix them to my perfect shade.

You can take a look at the different shades at the Missha US website.

I apply this with my fingers and blend. It goes on looking a bit grey and chalky, but it soon oxidizes to match your skin tone. It blends really well into the skin, leaving it looking smooth and polished. It's been described as a heavyweight tinted moisturiser and it is that, and more. What I love about it is while it's more natural looking than most liquid foundations, it covers my dark undereye circles and has excellent staying power. I find that it will last all day without needing any touch ups. As this is not my perfect shade, but a little light, I usually put some bronzing powder over it in certain places just to give it a more natural look.

I LOVE that this is an all in one product. It is a moisturiser, sunscreen, primer and foundation in one. You can basically (if you have the right shade) put this on and go. It lasts, so there's no time consuming touch ups and it looks natural.

I feel that it has helped refine my skin texture and smooth it a little, but haven't really noticed any whitening or anti aging benefits as yet. I've only been using it for about a month, so maybe those come with time.

I'm wearing my Circle Lenses in this pic! The give such a shiny glisten to the eyes :)

Overall, I would recommend this if you want medium, natural looking coverage that lasts without having to use a lot of different products. The only drawback is the limited shades... Hopefully the western market will catch on to this awesome product and start creating their own versions.

Do you like the convenience of a BB Cream? Would you try them or have you tried them before?
