BB cream review.
What is BB  cream? BB cream stands for Blemish Balm Cream, It is a make-up cream with tremendous skincare functions. It acts as a moisturizing cream, Lightens skin tone with continuous use, provides sun rays protection, gives a brightening effect for a fresh and clean look, Concealing effect that hides dark spots and blemishes and it also acts as a Make-up Base. It is an all in one cream! That's why I love this cream so much I can wear it alone even without other make-ups on. More about bb cream? I'm prone to break outs ever since but using this creams gave me no break outs since my 1st use. :)


Where did I get my BB creams?
I ordered a premium kit of BB cream from Ms. Desiree, an online seller of bb creams. Yes! I'm promoting her online store she's very kind, accommodating plus super fast transaction. Two thumbs up for her! :))

(From top to bottom: Missha 21, Missha 23, Skinfood, Skin79)





I initially bought a premium kit to test and see what BB cream suits my skin tone. I recommend you do this first before buying a particular BB cream. Ive been using the BB creams alternately for almost 4 weeks now. I have a yellow undertone and so far the most that favors my skin is Missha Perfect cover No. 23. 


Here's my personal reviews about this BB creams:


Missha Perfect Cover BB cream No. 21 and No. 23


The difference between No.21 and No. 23 is that No. 21 is much lighter shade than No. 23. Personally, I prefer No. 23 because it complements my skin tone, my concealer, Maybelline Angelfit Perfect concealer on 02 Natural Beige and My foundation, Maybelline Angelfit flawless affinity two way cake foundation on Natural Beige ochre and hides dark spots very well . Darker cream hides dark spots perfectly rather than lighter creams. The No. 21 also looks good on my skin tone but does not hide dark spots very well, It complements my skin color but somehow, I do not like like its brightening effect on my skin, I prefer Missha No. 23. What I like more about Missha Perfect Cover is that it has a high SPF than the other two BB creams, which is good since classes are starting and I'm always out on the sun. 


Skinfood Peach sake pore BB cream 


Skinfood's Bb cream has a good brightening effect and concealing effect. On my first use of this cream, Nangati ako. I dont know why but that only happened the first time I use it. It is a great make up primer. I like the effect it gives my skin. So far, So good. I like this cream.


Skin79 Hotpink BB cream


This cream has thick consistency. Dark shade siya pag inapply pero pag tumagal nang aadjust yung kulay according sa skintone mo. I know Its not just me because some girls who are also using this cream noticed the adjusting effect too. Skin 79 Hotpink has good coverage. I like this cream too.




Try BB creams now and discover the wonders it will give your skin! :)
