REVIEW: MIZON Snail Repair Blemish Balm

Here I am again for another BB cream review :)
I stopped buying new sets of BB cream these days because aside from the fact that they are a bit expensive, I do not have time to finish them all. Some of them are still waiting to be opened.
Here's one of the BB creams that has been staying on my shelf for some time so I decided to open it last week. :)

My first ever MIZON BB Cream^_^

*********************************************************************


PRODUCT NAME: MIZON Snail Repair Blemish Balm 
*It's a BB Cream :) 
*I think this is my first time to purchase and use a MIZON product. MIZON is a Korean Cosmetics and Skin Care brand in South Korea.
CONTENT: 50ml

PRICE: PhP 445 (from HAN RYU)
SHADE: Comes in one shade only. 

REVIEW: TONYMOLY EXPERT TRIPLE BB CREAM

Ola!
It has been ages since I last posted a review here on this blog. Even my personal Tumblr blog went on a hiatus for the past five months!! 
My work became a bit stressful and I had to adjust myself with the schedule so I had to put this blog on a rest for a while. 
I promise to write whenever I have time. :)


*****************************************************************
Before the year ended last 2012, I bought a haul of on-sale items from my favorite Korean Cosmetics Online shop - HAN RYU. 

Instagram Photo. Sorry, the photo's not that clear. 

I got a lot of freebies from this loot. :) 
I actually bought the following: 


Nature Republic Simple Making Gel Eyeliner 01 Black-PhP 245
Ecopure Hair Color Cream N10 - PhP 250
MIZON Snail Repair BB Cream - PhP 445Lioele Bubi bubi mascara 7g #4 Gorgeous Black - PhP 185Tonymoly Expert Triple BB Cream - PhP 595+ Vanedo Masks
1. Snail (3)
2. EGF (1)
3. Pomegranate (1)
4. coenzyme q10 (2)


PLUS! free samples (samples with the capital-S, my dear!) of SULWHASOO creams, serums and BB creams! (Hurray!) 

But for today, I will be doing a review for Tonymoly Expert Triple BB Cream
Here's another BB CREAM review. 

**************************************************************************

NAME: Tonymoly Expert Triple BB Cream SPF45. PA+++
It's a BB cream from Tonymoly (and this is my second Tonymoly BB cream - remember TonyMoly Luminous Goddess Aura BB Cream?)





Net. Wt: 50ml 
Price: I got this for PhP 595 from Han Ryu.     
            PhP 928  in Tonymoly stores
With: SPF 45+++

Product Description: 
After reading the product description from tonymoly.ph (the official website of Tonymoly Philippines), I got a slight headache.
Anyways, here's the official product description:

Expert triple BB cream SPF45PA+++ Diffused reflection makes prism effects under any lights, completes spotless shiny skin Expert 3D Collagen BB cream SPF40PA+++ Boosting Collagen synthesis effect helps skin reconstruction. Filling between the wrinkle

If that doesn't help, maybe this one will: 

I don't have any idea what OPTICAL SENSORY POWDER means. Really. 

REVIEW: ECORRE ARTIST BB CREAM

OLA!
Here is another (delayed!) BB cream review: Ecorre Artist BB Cream.  

I got this one together with Skin79 The Oriental Gold Plus BB Cream.

I was a bit skeptical to get this one but since it was on sale, I decided to give it try. 

*************************************************************************

THE PRODUCT: 
- Name: Ecorre Artist BB Cream
- It's a BB Cream from Ecorre. 
- I could not find an English website for Ecorre so I really do not have any idea about this brand. :(  Check this site if you want to take a look at their other products but unfortunately, everything's in written in Korean. -----> http://www.ecorre.co.kr/

- Content: 50ml 
- Price: PhP 550 - I got this from my beloved Han Ryu
- Shade: Comes in one shade only 
-
- Let's take a look at the packaging. 

REVIEW: SKIN79 THE ORIENTAL GOLD PLUS BB CREAM

I am back! :) 

I cannot hold back my excitement! Finally, I am already done editing my photos for this review. (Actually, the editing of the photos is the one slowing me down in writing a blog. Hope I'll get used to it soon ^_^)

Here is my review on Skin79 The Oriental Gold Plus BB Cream. 

*****************************************************

WARNING: AGAIN, I love taking photos (although I am not a photographer and I do not have a keen eye for perfection that most photography enthusiasts are looking for). This review contains a lot of images and it may take some time for the photos to load. This review has a LOT OF PICTURES so that I can show you how good/bad the product is. 

*****************************************************

I bought this BB cream last week (check this: http://theunemployedfish.blogspot.com/2012/10/upcoming-reviews-skin-79-oriental-gold.html#.UIJHVm-R-So)

I think I was getting tired of having that matte-look so when I saw this at Han Ryu, I did not hesitate to get Skin79 The Oriental Gold Plus BB Cream.

I will go straight to the point on this one :)

THE PRODUCT: 

- It's a BB Cream that comes with a Lip & Cheek Color.

- Name: Skin79 The Oriental Gold Plus BB Cream. 

- Skin79 has different lines for their BB Creams. I actually tried the Skin79 Super BB Cream Pink (but I was not into blogging that time)

                 PhP 800 - 1500 (ebay.ph) 

- Has SPF 30 PA++

- Promises: Wrinkle Improvement and Whitening 

- Shade: comes in one shade 

-PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: 

(I could not find an official English website for Skin79 so I got this product description from The BB Cream Shop.)

REVIEW: TONYMOLY LUMINOUS GODDESS AURA BB CREAM

FINALLY!
I am so excited for this. This is actually a super late review. I wanna say sorry it took a long time for me to post something about this. :( 

Anyways, I wrote last time that our 'Big Boss' in Korea came and visited our company. He is such a really nice guy. Every time he comes to the Philippines, he brings something for his employees. This year, he gave us this: TonyMoly Luminous Goddess Aura BB Cream. 

I took this photo the day I got this from Mr. Kim! Yehey! 

-I think I got this like 3 weeks ago. I was so busy with work that I almost forgot to make a review for this. Now here we go!!!!!

REVIEW: LIOELE BEYOND THE SOLUTION BB CREAM

OLA!!! 
Here's another BB cream review that has been shelved for quite some time. 

I guess by this time you already know how addicted I am to BB cream. Here's another addition to my 'most commonly used' BB cream collection.

This is my review for Lioele Beyond The Solution BB Cream. 


WARNING: Since I love taking photos (though the photos do not look good), I would like to warn you that this review contains a LOT of photos. :) 

********************************************************************************

THE PRODUCT: 
- This is a BB Cream (Oh! how I love saying this!) from Lioele. 
- Lioele has a lot of BB cream. I wanna try everything but Lioele Beyond The Solution BB Cream is on sale so I got this immediately from Han Ryu.  
- In my opinion, LIOELE has the cutest BB cream packaging. I love the logo, the box and the COLOR. 

- SIZE: 50ml
- PRICE: PhP 995 (LIOELE WEBSITE) 
                 PhP 600 (Han Ryu) <----- I got this on sale! How I love Ms. Grace (the owner) for reserving this item for me :) 

- NOTE: No SPF (which I find it weird since most BB creams have SPFs) 

My addiction strikes again! - Korean Stuff!

I already got my orders from Han Ryu  this afternoon.

 Whenever I see a blue plastic bag like this, I get so excited! 

I feel like a kid whenever I open my orders. It's like opening my birthday present when I was young. The only difference is that I already know what's inside. 

I love tearing these bubble wraps like a kid :) 

TA-DA!! Here's my new haul of Korean Cosmetics/Skin Care Products. 
If my boyfriend reads this, he might have second thoughts on letting me handle our money once we get married. (*evil laugh!)

Here they are....

1. (from the left)  MISSHA - M Signature Real Complete B.B. Cream,  (left, the one that's still wrapped in plastic)

2. Lioele Beyond The Solution BB Cream

3. Samples of Nature Republic's Snail Therapy BB cream, Snail Therapy Cream and Snail Therapy Ampoule

4. Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask (30ml)

5. Baviphat Magic Girl Star Glam Highlight Pink

7. Palgantong Make-Up Theatrical Powder

 I am so excited to try these! :) 

REVIEW: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++

I DO NOT have a flawless face. I wish I had but NOOOOO I don't. 
I wish I had a flawless face so I don't have to spend money on hiding my pimple scars, my pores, my uneven skintone and my dark circles under my eyes.

I guess that's the reason why I keep on searching for anything that will hide those imperfections. 

Last 2010, I've discovered BB Creams and I fell in love with them. I've tried a lot and this is one brand that I will keep forever. 

*********************************************************************************

Actually this is a late review. I was supposed to blog this a long time ago but because of so many reasons, I didn't.




I already made a review for MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream SPF 25 PA++. But before I fell in love with that, I fell in love to it's cheaper version, the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++


THE PRODUCT: 
-Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++
-It's a BB Cream. 
-Comes in 5 shades (But shades #21 Light Beige and #23 Natural Beige works well for Asian skin.) 
-I am using #23 Natural Beige.
-Comes in 2 sizes - 20ml and 50ml

-The product promises: 
*Whitening
*Anti-Wrinkle
*UV Protection (SPF 42 PA+++)

According to it's website: 

"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. "

-THE PRICE: 
Missha Philippines: * PhP 700 - 20ml
                                   * PhP 1,600 - 50ml

Online stores on ebay: *Price ranges from PhP 800-990

Han Ryu: PhP 800 - I think this was her discounted price. (how I love this shop!) 

This is one of my first-favorite BB cream:  Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++ (50ml)

What it says 

- The tube comes with a pump. Unlike MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream,  Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream comes in soft tube that will allow you to squeeze the remaining cream 'til the last drop (that's good news for cheapskates like me!) 
Oh! by the way, it 20 ml tube does NOT have a pump.

Here's what inside the tube (again, pardon me for the camera and my hairy hand ^_^): 
-You may notice that Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream has a cream-y consistency compared to Missha M Signature Real Complete BB Cream which has a water-y consistency.

The REAL TEST: 

Ever since I was in highschool, I have been bothered by my pimples and honestly, those zits took away my self-esteem. When I was in college, my pimples were aggravated by endless late night sleeps,  emotional and physical stress and unhealthy lifestyle. I was like a walking 'zombie zit'.
So when I started working, I did my best to cover them up until finally, I was able to overcome this pubescent horror. And I have learned how to embrace my imperfections :) 

Well, here it goes!

This is the real test (and this is why I love BB creams)

Here are my close-up photos without anything on my face. 

I have visible pores and pimple scars especially on the left side of my face

Those pores! And I guess the lack of sleep and stress at work is already taking a toll on my face.

Oh! And don't these two look the same? (LOL!)

The APPLICATION: 

- Here's what I do (the application varies on the person using this product)

-I do my basic facial routine - wash my face with a facial wash then I apply my facial toner.

- If my face turns dry (which rarely happens), I apply a moisturizer first.

- I let the moisturizer dry before I apply Missha Perfect Cover. 

- A pea-size amount is already enough to cover your face but if you want a more heavy coverage then you can add and blend. 

THE 'AFTER-EFFECT'

-Here are my before - after photos: 

 I love the coverage of this BB Cream. 

This is really my favorite part. 

 It also cleared my uneven skin tone. 

Hmmm.. those nasty pimple scars on the left side of my face are really bugging me. So what I do is I apply three layers of BB cream. (click the photo to view the entire image)

And the Finale! 

WHAT CAN I SAY?

- I totally love this. 

- It does not oxidize on my skin.

- Though it does  not entirely cover my pores, it does a great job in making them look small. 

- It clears my uneven skintone. 

- NO BREAKOUTS. 

- Though it does not entirely cover my pimple scars, I think it made my pimple scars look 'tolerable'

- It is easy to apply. 

- A little goes a long way (One 50ml tube can last for 4-6months if used 6 times a week.)

- Good for people with oily skin. I brush a thin (very thin) layer of foundation after 5 - 6 hours of putting on the BB cream to keep the oil at bay. 

- The scent is not  too overpowering. It has a normal, light powdery smell. 

-This actually saves me from buying expensive mineral foundation. 

- I love the whooping SPF42 ++++ (I still do not have any idea what the +++ means) 

The CONS:

- NOTHING

- Oh! one thing, find a good make-up remover/cleanser whenever you use this. It's a bit kinda hard to remove the traces of Missha BB creams on your face. 

I am still using this and this BB cream and I will really have a good relationship with it for a long time. :)

REVIEW: MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream SPF 25 PA++

My zits are popping out these days. I hate it. I am 25 and I thought that I would outgrow this pubescent nightmare. BUT NO!!!!!!!

That is why I splurge a lot on foundations and concealers. 

Then came BB CREAMS!

I've heard about this 'wonder cream' two years ago. 

The first one I've tried is the The Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream. The oil control was good but it was too light on my skin. I had to try other stuff till I found out about Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++. 

The Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream

Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42 PA+++

I am supposed to do a review for Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream but I just found another recent discovery.
I am loving the MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream SPF 25 PA++.

I bought this again on Facebook. :) 

Here is what I can say about the product. 

THE PRODUCT: 

- It is a BB cream. (BB stands for "Blemish Balm," "Beauty Balm" or "Beblesh Balm")

- THE PROMISES: 

 

- SHADES: 

It comes in 2 shades:  No.21 (Light Pink Beige) and No.23 (Natural Yellow Beige)

But when I was checking out the infos on the net, they also have No.13 (Light Milk Beige). I guess this shade is not suited for Filipina skin. 

- SIZE:

20 ml and 45 ml
