Skinfood Aloe Sun BB Cream Review



YAY!!! I found another favorite BB Cream: Skinfood Aloe Sun BB Cream.
This BB cream has SPF 20 PA+ (PA stands for Protection Grade of UVA. There are PA+, PA++ and PA+++. Of course, PA+++ has higher level of protection which suitable for those that stay out in the sun most part of the day).

The description found on the package states that Aloe Sun BB Cream is rich with aloe, which possesses excellent hydrating properties and soothing effect, this multi-funtional skin care product (UV protector and blemish corrector) provides moisture and nutrition to your skin while providing protection from UV rays.

Here's a before and after pic of my problem area:
Skinfood Cream Before and After Pictures

What I don't like about this BB Cream:
-It only comes in lighter shades. I believe there are only 2 shades, #1 (radiant) & #2 (natural). The one I got is #2.
-Availability. For most of us there are no store location that we could actually come in and test the product out. The only way to buy this is to purchase it online with the assumption that the color, scent, consistency of the product will work for us.
-Scent. This BB cream has a scent that's a little above mild point. For me, the scent is actually very nice but this could be a big turn off for people that preferred natural product without any scent.
-A little bit hard to blend.

What I like about this BB Cream:
+It's inexpensive. It costs me less than $15 including shipping on Ebay (yep, good ol' Ebay for me!!).
+Has SPF 20 PA+
+Makes skin glow and looking vibrant! I love how after applying it I could immediately see the difference on my skin. It looks so much brighter and healthier.
+Coverage is light to medium. What I like about this product is you can build up coverage by adding more product and yet, your skin is still looking very natural.
+Oil control is very good. This is very much comparable to my other favorite, LEGERE. Both of them doesn't leave my skin too shiny of oil. I only need to blot my face once during a day.

***Overall, this is another one of my favorite BB Creams. If you wanna try BB cream and don't know where to start, give this a try! I recommend getting it from LEGENDEUX, the Ebay seller I got it from. Prices are cheaper than most others on Ebay and very easy to deal with.

Japanese Goodies Haul



I was bored today. So I went shopping which made me happy ^_^

Here are the goodies:
Japanese Beauty Products
Went to Mitsuwa. I was gonna get the K-palette eyeliner but ended up forgetting it. lol.
I haven't been curling my hair in ages so I got the lucidol hair styling lotion. It's actually a liquid base...don't know why they called it lotion.

Other damages:

Ever heard of Komenuka Bijin? It's a Japanese beauty brand. My sister introduced me to this brand. They use mostly natural ingredients that dated back to centuries ago. I got the Eye Moist Gel and the Essence Whitening Serum. Click here to check out other products by Komenuka Bijin (how do you pronounce that?!!!). I also got Menard LS Cream. It's also a Japanese brand. I tried this before but that was when my skin was on the oilier side which was too hydrating for me. And now that I got older, my skin tend to be a little more dry, I thought I'm gonna give it a try again. The SA says it's also her best selling brands. Will update on how these products work.

Camwhoring time *_*
