I am addicted to bb/cc creams and cushions. I only have one face (albeit big cheeks lol), but I own too many of them >_<
So it’s just about time I start reviewing them all here 😀
I will review them one by one, with as many pictures as I can, hoping that it could be of help, in case you’re planning to buy any of the products mentioned.
Let me show you my current bb/cc/foundation/cushion stash.
I used Nature Republic’s By Flower Auto Eyeliner on my arm to show you the coverage of the said foundies.
After swatching everything that I have, here’s how it looks like
- Dermacol #207
- Dermacol #208
- Missha Signature BB Cake #13
- A’Pieu Air Fit Cushion #13
- Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream #13
- Sugao CC Cream in Pink Bright
- Touch in Sol Flawless Skin Top Coat
As you see, I always get the lightest shade because I’m so white. My grandma is Chinese and I think I’m the only one among all her grandchildren who got her color. I am often mistaken as a foreigner or worse, an adopted child. Good thing I look a lot like my brothers lol.
My collection is nothing compared to others. I try my best to spend wisely and this is all I can afford at the moment. You won’t see me reviewing any high end product here. This blog is for middle class girls like me who are either rich or poor. Though in this country, we’re all poor if we’re not considered rich haha!
That aside, let’s proceed with the review! First is Missha’s Signature BB Cake.
*image from Missha’s Korean website
I got this on sale from my friend Dianne (who is one of the best sellers of Korean products, I tell you!). She even gave it to me at a discounted price!
Checking the official websites (both the Korean and the US one), I’m lucky because the amount that I have paid for is such a steal! I guess there was a sale back then? 😀
Missha Signature BB Cake (Shade #13)
SPF 50+/PA +++
Shades Available: #13 (milky beige), #21 (light beige), #23 (natural beige)
Price: 30 USD, 25,800 won
Got it for: 695 pesos or 15 USD (I love you Dianne ♥)
Where to buy: Missha’s US website, Missha’s Korean website, or at your favorite Korean cosmetics shop
How it looks like in real life (lol)
The packaging is really beautiful! I know that there’s another version which is even more beautiful, but this alone is really chic!
The case is pearly pink with Missha Signature line’s logo in the middle.
There’s a refill available at the Korean website but it’s effing expensive. But I don’t think one would need any refill soon because I’ve already been using it for almost 2 months and I’m not even a quarter done.
The coverage is medium to full, depending on how many layers or how thick you’re going to apply. It comes with the same type of puff as your regular cushion, which helps apply the product evenly.
I used my fingers to apply it on the pics though lol sorry
This is how I looked like after applying it on my face before going to work. I used it with Nivea Men’s post-shave balm as primer, and with 3W Clinic’s Natural Makeup Powder (Shade #21)
As for the lipstick, I used Menow Kiss Proof #4
Here’s how I looked like a few hours after work. Work starts at 9pm and ends at 6am. Normally, it takes me around an hour to get home because of all the post shift shit that I have to do on top of traffic.
Not bad, right? No retouch too because our company does not allow even supervisors to bring things as simple as a compact powder inside the production floor -_-;
The verdict? I am very satisfied with the product! It’s a good thing it’s not on sale right now because I have a tendency to hoard haha! My excuse all the time is that, I will bring the items to the US because once I’m there, I don’t know how long it will take before I get a job XDD
So there you go! Is there even anyone reading my posts?! Lol! Hmmm.. how about a freebie on the first comment that I receive? A surprise cosmetic I’m sure you’d love, free shipping to the Philippines :p
Now let’s see if there’s going to be any winner 😀
