BB Cream Review

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

 

 

At first glance…

 

 

 

 

Liquidity

Skin79 Diamond is “thinner” than BRTC Gold Caviar

 

 

 

Color

Skin79 Diamond is “paler” than BRTC Gold Caviar

 

Fragrance

Skin79 Diamond smells good – a hint of perfume.

BRTC Gold Caviar – no smell. Similar to liquid foundation.

My Skin

Fair

Combination Skin ( Oily T-Zone )

 

Visible tiny pores

 

 

My wants.

I do not need my BB Cream to give me a good coverage as my

current foundation and concealer have served me good

all these years.

I want my BB Cream to be able to minimize my tiny visible pores

and improve the texture of my skin.

 

Please Note:

Not wanting to use or mix my BRTC and Skin 79 BB Cream,

I started off with BRTC BB Cream.

I have been using my BRTC since July 8th 2008 daily

and

tried Skin79 twice.

 

 

My verdict.

 

Oil Control

Skin79 D & BRTC G C – lasted for 5 to 6 hours

Blotting is necessary after the 6th hour.

 

 

Application

Being “thinner” Skin79 Diamond is easier to apply.

BRTC – easier to apply if your hands are warm.

I rub my hands to warm it up before the application.

 

 

Coverage

BRTC has done a good job on me.

I omitted concealer and foundation from

my casual “day look” regime.

 

Cleanser –> Moisturizer –> BB Cream –> Eye liner + Blush

 

replace my previous regime:

 

Cleanser –> Moisturizer –> Concealer –> Foundation

–> Pore minimizer powder –> Eye Liner + Blush

 

 

Whitening

No whitening effect seen.

 

 

4 weeks ago,

before BB Cream.

 

after shower – with nothing on.

 

 

2 weeks later.

 

Daily application of BRTC BB Cream for 2 weeks.

Pic shown – without BB Cream application.

 

 

Lastly,

yesterday,

4th week into using BRTC Gold Caviar.

 

ONLY moisturizer was applied.

 

 

 

My friends,

do I need to say more?

 

 

I *heart* *heart* my BRTC BB Cream!!

 

 

BB Cream Update

 

Dear friends and readers,

 

I sincerely apologize for putting you guys on a 2 weeks wait,

hanging on the line,

waiting and waiting

for my very much DELAYED BB Cream review.

 

I was crazily busy for the last 2 weeks

and

was unable to finish the BB cream review

I have started writing 2 weeks ago.

 

 

Anyway,

by hook or by crook,

the BB cream review will be up by tonight.

 

 

 

Another Arrival

 

 

 

 

Different Perspective

 

I was staring at my laptop when I proclaimed

“So pretty“.

 

KS: What are you looking at?

 

His curiosity made him

came over to my side and looked down on my laptop.

One look at it, he made a weird funny face.

 

KS: Yes, I agree. Very “pretty”.

Me: Really?

 

KS who has always wanted a 52″ HDTV said

“Yeah. That ‘pretty’ price can get me

a new 52″ HDTV.”

Me: But we have a 50″ HDTV.

 

With a triumph look, he said

“you have countless of bags!”

 

Me: countless?! It’s just a few.

KS: Poor me then. I don’t even have a 52″ HDTV.

Me: ……………

 

 

Men DEFINITELY are

not from

earth.

They are from Mars.

 

 

The hinting shall continue…

Cause’ our birthdays are around the corner.

Weekend trip

 

Am away for the

Fourth of July holiday.

Will be back with more pictures soon.

 

Happy Fourth of July everyone!

 

 

 

ps: my BB Creams will arrive next week!!!

 

 

In the name of BB Cream…

 

Dear KS,

When is your turn to cook for me?

 

I realize

you have breached our Section 0208 (M)

which states you ( KS ) should cook for me ( ST )

ONE meal per week.

 

As of this week,

you owe me a total of 9 meals.

 

 

Hehe… ( wickedly ) Don’t worry, I forgive you.

 

 

I just need to get three BB Creams.

 

 

KS —> 

 

 

Anyway,

here are last week’s dishes

which I lovingly consistently dutifully

prepared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t you think I deserve some BB Creams?

 

 

 

Good things are meant to be shared

 

New additions

to my make up bag

arrived last week.

 

 

 

My brother is currently in Seoul, Korea.

I’m preparing a “your sister’s to get list” for him no, for his gf.

Never count a man to get you nice make up

unless he is a make up artist.

 

A “must” for them to get for me

is the

 

BB CREAM!!

( Blemish Balm Cream )

 

Have you heard of it?

Well, recently there’s a big rave and craze about this

“magical” cream in the Asia beauty world.

It is a healing cream used by patient who underwent facial laser surgery.

The cream is said to be a foundation (light coverage)

packed with

anti-aging,

skin regenerating,

oil control,

glowing,

pore minimizer

and moisturizer agent.

Sounds too good to be true for me initially but after

reading countless of reviews and saw countless of REAL non-advertorial

before & after pictures…

my dear friends,

I’m SOLD!

 

I can’t wait to get my hand on one! a few to try now.

Note: For sensitive skin, try to look for one without mineral oil.

 

Before and after pictures :

 

 

 

after two months.

 

 

after two weeks.

Come to think of it,

I might just send them my BB Cream list tonight

and ask them to EMS my BBC to me by this week.

yes,

I admit,

I’m very impatient…

when it comes

to looking good for my KS.

 

ya right!!!
