L'egere BB Creams [feat. White Multi & Water Drop Shiny Pearl]

09Mar12

I'm already a happy L'EGERE BB Cream user even before the travel-size tubes (10g each) were sent to me for review. As for the retail-size tubes shown in the photo, I bought 'em at John Little.

L'egere products are available at Sephora, Robinson, John Little, BHG ALT Beauty, Pink Beauty, etc.

***Product info above is extracted from the press release.***

It was rather disturbing when I had my first acquaintance with L'egere White Multi BB Cream. Like most BB Creams in the market, it comes in only one shade. And, this shade looks way too dark for my skin tone... the orange undertones... =.=

I was literally amazed when I start spreading the Multi White on my skin. The dark orangey shade instantly transforms into a medium beige shade with pink undertones. It's close to my skin color albeit a tad lighter. Leaves a slight sheen on the skin.

It has a light creamy consistency which feels a lil' sticky initially. I find it easy to blend, using fingers (as usual).

L'egere Water Drop Shiny Pearl has a light liquidy texture. It feels more lightweight as compared to Multi White. The shade is beige with slight grey undertones, a lil' darker than my skin tone.

I like how it goes on very smoothly on the skin, with a hint of cooling sensation upon application. Like Kameria Water Drop Super Moisturethere are water droplets formed when spreaded on the skin. That leaves a moisturized feel on my skin. When blended out, the 3D pearl shining particles illuminates the skin well without looking too shimmery. It reminds me of Skin79 Crystal Pearl BB Cream, with slightly better coverage. Like Skin79 Crystal Pearl BB Cream, it is excellent as a highlighter to complement my regular makeup.

They have the same faint citrusy scent, I like!

Both provide sheer to medium coverage, with White Multi being slightly better. They do not conceal imperfections like dark circles completely, hence the need for a separate concealer. Overall, they do help even out my skin tone pretty well -- giving a semi dewy finish. And, I like that they feel lightweight on the skin especially Water Drop Shiny Pearl.

In terms of oil-control, I would say Water Drop Shiny Pearl does a better job. For Multi White, I do see the need of blotting with tissue after just 2 hours or so. Nevertheless, a good mattifying powder will do the job of keeping the oilies at bay -- think Maybelline Dream Matte Powder. Ahh... I can never stop raving about this awesome possum HG product!

All in all, I enjoy using these L'egere BB Creams especially on days when I don't feel like piling on too much makeup. They are like my second skin, but definitely much-much better.

Okay, that's all. Hope the reviews help (:

Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream

06Mar12

I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this BB Cream. Here are the looks [CLICK HERE, CLICK HERE] I did, using Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream [product details HERE].

Retail price: $49.90 (40g)

The bottle packaging of Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream is exactly like that of its Hot Pink and VIP Gold counterparts. I was never a fan of orange (color). That said, this cheerful shade of orange has grown on me somehow.

It contains SPF50+ PA+++ (protects skin against UVA and UVB rays) -- that means you can safely skip the sunblock.

The pump area is a fingerprint magnet! Easy to wipe off with tissue though.

Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream is formulated to suit oily/combination skin types. For those with dry skin, this may cause uneven patches. Do use a good hydrating moisturizer first and skip the use loose/pressed powder (to set BB Cream).

Remember to clean the nozzle area, after every use.

Press the pump lightly to dispense a pea-size amount for half of face.

I notice that it has a light citrusy scent, which smells nice to me.

A little goes a long way, as the consistency of this BB Cream is pretty thick. It reminds me of Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, but not as thick. I find it easy to apply on the skin and blend out evenly using my fingers. It has a semi-matte finish, which leaves a luminous sheen on the skin.

The color is really light, more suitable for fairer skin tones. It has no obvious grey undertones. It has slight yellow undertones though. Luckily, it doesn't make my skin look yellowish.

I wouldn't say it matches my skin tone exactly, just a tone lighter. Well, I really like how it makes me look naturally fair... without looking odd when photographed.

Though the consistency of this BB Cream is pretty thick, it doesn't look or feel thick on the skin. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing a "mask" or anything. In fact, it feels beautifully lightweight and comfortable. Plus, it doesn't leave any sticky or greasy feel.

Coverage-wise, it's good enough to even out my skin tone and conceal my flaws. Medium-full coverage, I would say.

As you can see from the photos, it doesn't make my skin look in any way cakey. I really like love the nice soft-focus effect it has on my skin, which makes my skin look flawless!

I like setting Skin79 Vital Orange BB Cream with Maybelline Dream Matte Powder. It IS the best combination for me so far, which ensures that the oiliness is kept at bay. Lovely!

That's all. Hope my review helps. Thanks for reading (:

Kameria Baby Face BB Creams

02Mar12

As mentioned earlier, I'll be featuring Kameria Baby Face BB Creams (the travel size version) in this post and share my thoughts on them.

How to use?

Whitening + Elastic All in One has a pinkish grey undertone, whereas Anti-Acne & Pore Tightening's undertone is slightly yellowish. Water Drop Super Moisture is the darkest among the three, with a grey undertone.

Texture-wise, Whitening + Elastic All in One is slightly sticky but blends evenly well. No worries, the slightly sticky feel is nothing uncomfortable, which dissipates thereafter. Anti-Acne & Pore Tightening has a creamy consistency which turns slightly watery upon blending on the skin. Water Drop Super Moisture has a rather smooth liquid texture, and there are water droplets formed when spreaded on the skin. I really like the moisturizing effect it has on my skin.

After blending, the BB creams will somehow adjust to my skin tone for a natural look. Having said that, Water Drop Super Moisture is apparently too dark on me (taking into account that my face is at least 2 tones lighter than my hand).

These BB creams help even out my skin tone beautifully, giving my skin a nice natural dewy finish. Anti-Acne & Pore Tightening has a medium coverage, which covers my flaws adequately well. The other two have a slightly lighter coverage, which is good enough for me (unless I'm having a bad skin day). A separate concealer is much needed if you need to conceal serious dark circles, acne scars, etc.

The best match for my skin tone (NC/NW20) is Whitening + Elastic All in OneAnti-Acne & Pore Tightening is a lil' fair on me, but doesn't make me look weirdly pale though. Water Drop Super Moisture is too dark for my liking -- I look tanned. Those with darker skin tone will definitely appreciate this, since it is not easy to find a dark tone BB cream.

The oil-control is average for all three. I need to blot my face about 3 to 4 hours later (which is the norm for me).

Overall, I like how Kameria Baby Face BB Creams make my face look so naturally fresh and glowy effortlessly. If I have to pick one... I'll definitely go for Anti-Acne & Pore Tightening. It simply makes my skin look amazingly flawless -- nuff' said 

That's all. Thanks for reading! (:

Review: Gowoonsesang Brightening Balm SPF30 PA++ [Giveaway CLOSED]

27Dec11

This is one of the many BB Creams that I'd tried before - Gowoonsesang Brightening Balm SPF 30PA++. I think, it was way back in 2010 that I gotta know about Gowoonsesang.

[Retail Price: SGD$43 / 60ml]

This BB Cream was launched in 2009. It is a make up base that controls sebum, which feels like a light foundation. Highly hydrating and soothing to the skin. The hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, each of these unique formulations works on a cellular level to help the skin achieve and maintain a clearer, healthier look. Comes with SPF30 PA++, ideal for sun block.

Like most BB Creams, it comes in one shade (dark beige). It is lightly scented.

Initially, it does look much darker than my skin tone (as shown from the image above). After a few mins, it somehow "adjust" to blend in with my skin tone albeit still a lil' dark.

What I like about most is its texture; not too thick or runny. Prior applying the BB Cream onto my face, I will usually squeeze some onto the back of palm to warm it up (using my fingers). Easy to apply and spread on the skin. Doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy/sticky. The finish is somewhat dewy, definitely not matte. I must say, the oil control part is pretty decent.

I like how it evens out my skin tone and the coverage is just right for me. My skin looks naturally flawless; redness and dark circles concealed. I do wish that it comes with a slightly lighter shade though, coz I like to look fairer :x

 

And now, for the giveaway! **Gowoonsesang products are provided by Sasa Sg for review & giveaway.**

All sets come with Gowoonsesang Brightening Balm SPF30 PA++ (5ml)Gowoonsesang Dr. G White Aura Serum (1ml). I've added stuff to sweeten the deal.

Gowoonsesang Dr. G White Aura Serum

A refreshing whitening gel essence with a light touch of moisture, the Cell-Light Complex has a 3-step melanin-blocking and whitening function, and together with Niacin Amide promotes the separation of dead skin cells to lighten the melanin pigmentation to allow skin to become bright and clear from within. Peppermint and Rabdosia Rubescens extracts lend elasticity to sagging pores and balance skin tone for velvety moist skin with a dense texture.

Review: Skin79 Lovely Girl BB Cream

31Oct11

Here's the press kit that Skin79 Singapore had sent me earlier this month. CLICK HERE to read more about Skin79 Lovely Girl BB Cream.

A sweet pink metal tin casing, about the size of my palm.

Very pretty, isn't it? Those polka dots.. lace and ribbon details..

*surprise-SURPRISE!~*

There's actually a shimmer puff inside! Can you see the sparkly bits? I used it on my décolletage, for a touch of subtle shimmery look 

(Hmm.. unfortunately it's not for sale..)

Even the packaging interior is so pretty (the butterfly and heart motifs)! Everything about Lovely Girl BB Cream screams PINK! What's not to love? ♥

Skin79 Lovely Girl BB Cream (50g) - $21.90

New and sealed.

Lovely Girl BB Cream is light beige in color, with slightly ashy undertones. Has a faint sweet bubblegum scent.

It has a lightweight texture; easy to spread on the face with no sticky feeling. Offers sheer medium, natural looking coverage. Perfect for light makeup days.

At first, the Lovely Girl BB Cream does look slightly ashy on me. Within minutes, it blends in with my skin tone! *HAPPY!~*

It helps even out my skintone and covers my redness pretty well. Brightens up my complexion instantly, thanks to herb complex & chlorella extracts.

A dewy natural finish, which I really like!

Lovely Girl BB Cream works well for my fair-medium skin tone (NC/NW20). Suitable for fair to fair-medium skin tones (in my opinion). The sheer medium coverage is good enough for me on my good skin days. A separate concealer is needed if you've serious acne and/or dark circle problem. It's easy to spread and blend the BB Cream on my face, using my trusty fingers. I like how the BB Cream feels on the skin, very comfortable and moisturizing (not sticky/greasy).

The finish is really natural-looking, with a lovely glow. It is made of excellent porosity powder, hence providing good oil control (I need to blot after 5-6 hours). Even better, when I use Maybelline Dream Matte Powder (Sand) to set the BB Cream.

Note: Do remember to use a sunblock as it doesn't contain SPF.

This is the finished look. My face looks kinda matte b'coz I buff on Maybelline Dream Matte Powder (Sand) to set the BB Cream.

My skin looks silky smooth, velvety and soft (like that of baby's skin). Agree? (:

LOTD: Rainbow Flutters &.. A Review on Maybelline BB Cream

23Jun11

This was the LOTD I had on the day of the FORD Supermodel Singapore 2011 Media Event. I decided to have a rainbow theme. Hmm.. More colors for my eye makeup (I mean). And, check out my super long lashes! Yes, fake ones (duh). LOL.

What's on my face. The title says it all: Maybelline BB CreamMaybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream SPF 26/PA+++ (Fresh) to be specific. Received this at the Bloggers' event and I've used it for several times. So, time for a review!

Photo (above) re-used :x

CLICK HERE for the swatch-es.

On to my review. For me, the BB cream texture is just right (not too thick, not too runny). Best thing? Blends effortlessly, giving my face a really nice brightening touch. A dewy finish, certainly not matte. No sticky feel. Oil control not that fantastic, not THAT bad as well. Coverage wise, is quite good (for me). Evens out my skin tone well. However, there's a need for a separate concealer if you want perfect full-coverage.

"Fresh" is a good match for me (NC20), and I find it really easy to apply. You know some BB creams ain't easy to apply and often leaves an ugly white cast. I find it rather disturbing, seeing ladies with ashy-looking faces on photos as well as in real life. DO NOT use a much lighter shade and think you'll look fairer. That's NOT the way. Trust me. Thankfully, Maybelline BB Cream doesn't make me look ashy. Agree much?

While the Maybelline BB Cream promises 8 Healthy Skin Benefits, namely Hydration, Skin Elasticity, Reduced Redness, Natural Radiance, Clarity, Smoothness, Reduced Pore Size, Reduced Dullness. I don't know about Skin Elasticity. Don't think it helps much in that aspect. Overall, it fulfills 7 out of 8 benefits (IMO). Not bad eh. I like that it doesn't have any peculiar scent to it. Oh, the price is super wallet-friendly ($16.90). Even better when there's promotion going on! eg. $13.52 after 20% discount. You won't regret purchasing this! (:

The lenses I had on was super uncomfortable. Made me tear non-stop :/ I discarded 'em after just using 'em twice. It was supposed to last me for months! And, I didn't like the stupid eyeliner. The one I used to line my bottom lashline. Majolica Majorca Cream Pencil Liner BK999, from the Chapter 30: Sugary Trap Collection. I love BR611 so much, yet I hate this black one to the core. Why?! :/

It smudges and flakes badly on me. Doesn't apply on smoothly. I hate it. Period.

Ginvera Green Tea: Aqua Whitening Cream & Nude Cover BB Cream SPF30/PA++

23May11

Recently, The Sample Store provided me with 2 new products of Ginvera Green Tea Family - Aqua Whitening Cream & Nude Cover BB Cream SPF30/PA++. Thanks Elfaine (TSS) (:

Package arrived safely!

Introducing to y'all, the new additions to Ginvera Green Tea Family



Aqua Whitening Cream (with oil control)

Net weight: 40g

Retails for $16.90

Suitable for Normal/Combination Skin

Enriched with Green Tea Essence, Thanaka Extracts and Biogel, Ginvera Green Tea Aqua Whitening Cream provides the benefits of skin whitening, UV protection, oil control, lightening of spots and acne scars and prevents the formation of pimples. Its deep moisturizing and oil control effects help to effectively hydrate and clarify the skin for natural and radiant glow!

  • Lightweight lotion that can be applied both in the day and night
  • Oil control properties to control oil secretion from your skin, keeping your skin matte and shine-free
  • Anti-oxidant ingredients to prevent damage from harmful UV rays
  • Whitening properties make the skin fairer and more radiant after regular use
  • Hydrating functions to keep your skin hydrated even at night

 

Directions:

To apply after cleansing & toning. Simply squeeze an adequate amount on your finger and smooth evenly on your entire face. Skin feels hydrated after use! Suitable for all skintypes & daily use.

 

Here's how the actual product looks like.

My Thoughts:

I've been using the Aqua Whitening Cream for almost a week. Initially, I wasn't too fond of the cream upon 1st application. I felt that the white creamy texture felt kinda greasy on my face. However, the "greasy feeling" was gone after the cream gets absorbed into the skin. And in place, I could see a glowy sheen on my face (see photo above). The soothing green tea scent smells so good, a scent which I really like alot!

lt doesn't mattify my skin but oil control is decent. What I like is that it does keep my face hydrated and moisturized for hours. If you're using it in the day, be sure to use a sunblock after which, as it does not have SPF stated (only UV protection).

As for skin whitening, lightening of spots and acne scars.. I can't see much results. For now, I think it really does help in preventing the formation of pimples (at least for me)! Why do I say so? That's because I didn't see any pimples/acnes this time round before my "time-of-the-month" came. Those awful zits will appear always, without fail. I can see and feel that my face feels less oily than usual!

Nude Cover BB Cream SPF30/PA++

Net Weight 25ml

Retails for $16.90

This new formula is uniquely blended with Green Tea Extracts which contains a large amount of anti-oxidants to help fight against free radical damage and help prevent fine lines. It is also enhanced with Allantoin, a valuable cell‐proliferating healing agent which stimulates healthy tissue formation as well as Hyaluronic acid for intense hydration and precious herb extracts Ginseng and Angelica to nourish and hydrate skin. It also helps control oil, moisturize while providing superior protection against UV rays and natural pollutants! Its multiple efficacies as an oil control makeup base, sunscreen as well as foundation keeps you looking fair, beautiful and effortlessly good, the easy way!

  • Revitalizes skin with Green Tea Extract to nourish skin and protect complexion against free radical damage and helps prevent the formation of dark spots
  • Allantoin, Ginseng and Angelica to encourage cell renewal and revitalize skin, resulting in visibly fairer and more radiant skin
  • Formulated with SPF 30/PA++ to protect the skin from damage caused by UV rays, preventing premature ageing, wrinkles and fine lines
  • Light velvety non greasy texture, creates a flawless radiant finish that conceals imperfections, enlarged pores and evens out the skin tone
  • Provides natural and flawless coverage for a long lasting matte finish
  • Specially formulated with a nano fine texture to allow easy spreading and application, resulting a more natural look
  • Infused with Hyaluronic Acid to provide all day hydration for soft, supple skin

 

Directions:

To apply after your daily skincare regime. Simply squeeze an adequate amount on your finger and tap gently on your face for even coverage. Suitable for all skin types.

 

My Thoughts:

Nude Cover BB Cream has a runny texture which can be quite messy when squeezing out the product. The shade looks lil' ashy on my NC20/NW20 skin tone. It is not suitable for ALL skin tones, definitely. Ladies with really fair complexion will find the shade too dark for 'em.

It is easy to blend and helps even out my skin tone. The finish is indeed natural and flawless. It does conceal my flaws (redness, dark circles and spots) decently. I do not need to use a separate concealer. It has the same nice green tea scent as the Aqua Whitening Cream 

It doesn't give a matte finish but the oil control part was okay. I need to blot after 3-4 hours, which is normal for me. It feels pretty comfortable on the skin as well, without feeling greasy or whatsoever.

Here's my makeup look after 5 hours. Still look pretty fresh right? :D

My mini review:

The neutral medium color blended well with my skin tone. Dr Jart+ Most Moist Waterfuse BB Cream has a slight watery consistency, which is non-sticky. Easy to apply and it gives me a dewy look. I would say the coverage is medium as it can't quite conceal my dark circles that well. However, it covers redness pretty well. My complexion is more even as shown from the photo above. It has SPF27 PA++, so I didn't use any sunscreen prior application. No concealer was used. I set my makeup with Palgantong Theatrical Loose Powder sparingly. The oil control is quite good actually as I only need to blot after 4-5 hours. Usually, I need to blot after 3 hours. If you prefer natural coverage, this does a good job. BUT If you need full flawless coverage, you will need to use a separate concealer. Btw It is not fragrance-free, and the scent is quite pleasant IMO.

On a side note, this 50ml BB cream is going to last me for a long time! (: Stay tuned for my Dr Jart+ Most Moist reviews. That's all for now. Thanks for reading. Any questions, feel free to ask me via the comment box. Or, just email me (:

My 1st Impression of Dr Jart+ Premium Blemish Base (Limited Edition)

18Dec10

I received this Dr Jart+ Premium Blemish Base (Limited Edition) sometime back, part of the package from Confirm Trading. I'm terribly sorry that I actually forgot to blog about this =.= Gonna finish up with this soon, since I'd been using it regularly before I started using the Bio-essence ones. I'll be doing a much thorough review soon, after it's finished (real soon). Meanwhile, this is just based on my 1st impression of this product.

What I received was a deluxe-size BB Cream. 15ml can prolly last me slightly more than a month. Well, a little goes a long way.

FYI, Dr Jart+ Premium Blemish Base (Limited Edition) has Whitening & Anti-Wrinkle properties with SPF45/PA+++. So I "safely" skipped the sun block and moisturizer part.

The perfect color match for my NC20 skin tone (:

I didn't really blend the BB Cream out THAT well on my hand :x It kinda looks dark, but it's not. You will soon find out why.

BEFORE applying BB Cream and wearing lenses. 100% naked face, scary eh.

AFTER applying BB Cream and wearing lenses. 50% better hahas xD My dark circles still can be seen CLEARLY.

After more than 8 hours out. I decided to wear these scary-looking neon pink EOS lenses (ok, I know Halloween is long over =.=). Pardon my poor quality photos since I was using my iPhone camera function (inadequate lighting that's why).

My thoughts after using it for the 1st time:

The texture of this BB Cream is slightly light, which explains why the coverage is not that fantastic. I still need to use concealer for my spots and dark circles. However, it helps to even out my skin tone, and I like that the shade is just perfect for me. Not too yellowish or pinkish. After applying BB Cream, I use pressed powder to set my makeup. No cakey feeling, which is good. Slight radiance IMO.

Glow with Bio-essence Platinum BB Cream

16Dec10

The moment Bio-essence Platinum BB Cream was launched, I tried it on my hand and was amazed at the luminous glow it imparts. I also love its slight citrus (?) smell :p However, I didn't buy it immediately as I've alot of new BB Creams waiting for me to use. After a week or so, I succumbed to temptation and bought it together with the Aqua BB Cream (at full retail price). It's hard to resist temptation, y'all should know better. Well, no regrets (:

This is the one I'd bought, can see that I'd been using this for many times eh.

A little introduction about this Bio Platinum (BP) BB Cream:

Platinum is cherished and represents purity and eternity; it is the rarest and most stable form of precious metal. It possesses excellent compatibility with the human body and its powerful anti-oxidant properties are also superior.

With 10 effects in just 1 product, the BP BB Cream reawakens beautiful skin, creating a flawless makeup and youthful skin that exudes natural beauty and charm from the inside out.

10 in 1 Effects:

3) Light velvety texture, effectively conceals flaws with a natural , nude finish

4) Enriched with Tanaka Extract to make skin fairer and keep it cool even under the hot sun

5) Refines pores and smoothens skin

6) Nourishes skin with herbs, nutrients & mineral elements to revitalize skin

7) Regulates oil secretion

8) Protects skin from harmful UV Rays and external pollutants

9) Moisturizes skin to prevent dryness

10) Reveals flawless, radiant & natural makeup. Look younger & more charming

Directions to use: As the final step of your skincare regime, squeeze an adequate amount and blend well by patting lightly on your skin.

It looks pretty fair for my NC20 skin tone.

After blending out, can you see the luminous glow it imparts ?

Dinner time with the girls (Linda, Cheryl & Jessie) at Ministry of Food (MOF), Bugis outlet. About 1 hour later when this photo was taken. Glowy look, yes ? :p

It was an impromptu decision to ask Seb along. It has been more than half a year since I last saw him. That time, my hair was super long. 1st thing he commented was I looked handsome with my new hairstyle *grinz*. Next, he commented I looked rounder :/ Whatever. Nice catchin' up with him (my best guy friend for 5 years and counting..) ! Thanks for your listening ear (: I'll try to summarize next time if possible. You too ok, hahas xD

This photo was taken about 5 hours later (after I reached home). I didn't set my makeup with loose/pressed powder this time. I only applied pressed powder sparingly on my bottom eye area. I didn't blot much, maybe just once during dinner ?

No sun block/moisturizer/concealer/makeup base was used, just only the BP BB Cream ♥ Super time saver, I like !

My Verdict:

BP BB Cream has adequate coverage for skin which have minor flaws. As the shade is on the fair side, it doesn't conceal redness that well IMO. There's no sticky feeling after applying the BP BB Cream, hence there's no need for loose/pressed powder to set the makeup. When applying the BB Cream, it feels different as compared to other BB Creams. Umm how should I put it.. ? It's as if I'm applying micro metal bits on my face (bcoz of the platinum ?), I can feel it. Does anyone feel the same way as I do ? Initially, the BP BB Cream looks kinda fair on me, but it somehow "adjusted" to my skin tone after a while. My face do look glowy and fresh even after many hours later. My flaws are concealed quite well (not fully though). The oil control was good IMO coz I only blotted once. Well, I love this BP BB Cream very much ! Hmm a lil' more than the BME BB Cream perhaps :x Highly recommended for those who don't require full makeup coverage !

FYI, it retails for $32.
