Elianto Miracle Multiplex BB Cream

When he traveled to Malaysia, my husband grabbed Elianto Miracle Multiplex BB Cream for me. The front label of the packaging states its function: SPF 25 PA+, Moisturizing, Oil Control, and Brightening. It is available in 3 shades (my husband can’t remember the name of each shade) and he picked me the shades #02 (Natural).

Elianto BB Cream and Burt's Bees Gift Package (souvenir from Malaysia)

It has watery texture. So watery until it spilled out everywhere when I put it on the mattress with unclosed cap. Whereas I didn’t squeeze the tube. The good side is that it is lightweight thus gives me no heavy makeup feel.

The scent is a bit strong. It smells like lavender. But it is not a big problem for me.

The concealing effect is sheer to medium. It fails to cover heavy spot. I doubling up the layer to get better covering. But it does helps to even out the skin tone and give nice glow.

The thing I like most about this product is its natural shade. Other BB creams I tried before always give me unnatural skin tone. The shade#02 of Elianto is the most suited to me. Even if I use it double layer, I never get that “too white” look. It blends with skin tone after a couple of minutes. Even when I’m sweating, color of the BB cream does not comes off and still blends properly with my skin.

Feverlet HD BB Cream

After finishing some sample packs of Feverlet HD, I’d like to make a review. This is one of the best finish result bb cream I’ve ever tried. It creates radiant healthy look skin, even when I have bumps on my face.

The texture is pretty thick and the shade is fair. Squeeze out a pea-sized amount onto your finger and dotting the product evenly over your face. Just be careful to not squeeze too much or you will end up with very pale skin tone. Put on a light layer and blend it in to get a right tone.

I like to put moisturizer under the bb cream to ease the bb cream application. The coverage properties is quiet good. It evens out the skin tone and covers up the blemishes. It leaves the skin to be natural and not cakey.

The benefit of Feverlet HD

With SPF 30 PA++
As an improved generation of the previous version, the Feverlet BB cream which has no sun blocking properties, this is a nice thing to have. I personally prefer BB cream with decent UV protection. Thus I don’t need to worry about the harmful sun rays and use separate sun block.

Great Final Result
I have a lot of red acne scars and some pimples along my jaw line, and this product really helps to even out my skin tone and blur the bumps. I love how it gives me fair and healthy look. Even in the middle of the day it doesn’t look dull.

Good oil control
It doesn’t leave me feeling greasy. I do blotting oil for several times a day, but it gives minor bad impact for the appearance of my makeup. I still get healthy radiant look, even in the middle of the day.

Generally I love this bb cream. But I have to stop using it since I realize that I often get bumps after use it a day long.

The Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF20 PA+

Finally after pondering for long time, I got my Skin Food Aloe Sun BB Cream SPF20 PA+. I put a huge hope that it will not breakout my skin. I used the Feverlet HD before. It gives me lovely radiant and healthy look, plus nice oil control. But unfortunately it is not friendly to my skin. I often get bumps after use it a day long. I wish the Skinfood’s plays better.

This is the description behind the package
Rich with aloe, which possesses excellent hydrating properties and soothing effect, this multi-functional skin care product (UV protector and blemish corrector) provides moisture and nutrition to your skin while providing protection from UV rays
Description from the site
A skin-care and make-up in one, this cream leaves your skin feeling moisturized while it corrects your skin tone. Your complexion looks naturally air-brushed, clear and fresh! Rich with aloe, it excellently soothes skin and provides moisture. Also contains SPF 20!

The packaging is sweet. Just as the other The Skin Food products which always come in great outfit.

It comes in 2 shades, #1 (radiant) & #2 (natural). I picked the #2 and the shade matches the color of my skin. It doesn’t give me brighter shade as Feverlet HD does, but it doesn’t make me turn darker as well.
The texture is medium to sheer and pretty easy to blend. For your information, I always put moisturizer before BB cream. If I don’t apply moisturizer, I believe it will be a little bit hard to blend.
The cream has mild scent. I am not really sure what it is, but smells as aloe for me. Once being applied, my face feels light. It doesn’t leave any uncomfortable feeling. I finish it by dusting with loose powder.
The result is dewy and air-brushed look, just as what the site claims. The final look seems to be a little unnatural for me, but still acceptable. I see the cream doesn’t sink properly. The coverage is medium. Red blotches, scars, and big pores are not covered very well.

The oil control is pretty nice. I use Cool Aqua Gel from Dodoclub as the moisturizer and I know this gel gives me a bit too much hydration. But the BB cream does a quiet good job in blocking the oil.

I’ll share the progress once I notice visible further effects.

BRTC Gold Caviar BB Cream

This is another luxurious bb cream from BRTC (Bio Remedies Therapeutic Cosmetics): The Gold Caviar BB cream which claims as a triple action cream that contains high concentrated substance of white gold and caviar extract. It provides whitening, wrinkle repair and UV block functions. This is completed with platinum ingredient inside which acts to supply rich nutrients that shaping care for droopy skin.

Main Ingredients
Caviar Extract, Platinum Powder, Arbutin, Adenosine, Human Oligopeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Hyaluronic Acid, Green tea extract.

Benefits (taken from e-bay explanation)
1. Promotes skin whitening and wrinkle repair
2. Protects & regenerates the skin
3. Provides shaping care for droopy skin
4. Provides UV-rays protection ( SPF 20/PA++ )
5. Contains rich botanical nutrients for a healthier skin
6. Effectively covers skin imperfections naturally
7. Acts as a primer, foundation and concealer
8. Light textured feeling suitable for hot climate conditions

The texture is slightly thicker than BRTC Jasmine Water (JW). The shade is medium. As usual I applied moisturizer before the bb cream. It's a bit hard to be applied, but rather easier to spread than the JW. I give a little dabs on my face to be absorbed better. The coverage is actually quiet good. It covers the major skin imperfections with a little drop of cream. But unfortunately the finish result is unsmooth. I think Missha and Feverlet give better flawless finishing than this one. Besides, the pinkish shade of this cream is a bit unnatural, but still acceptable for me.

The cream sinks on my skin and feels light. I almost feel like I use nothing on my face. It is better than the JW which leaves sticky feeling and uncomfortable. The oil control is quiet OK. My face starts oily after about three hours. The nice thing is when I blot, I find less powder residue on my face paper. So I think it ties up with loose powder properly. My loose powder stays on all day.
 

 I prefer this one compared to JW. The JW leaves my skin moist after I remove the BB cream, but it does nothing with my skin problems. Even I suspect that it leads me to more blemishes. After using the JW for about two weeks, I feel that my face is never free from breakout. I guess the JW is too rich for my oily combination skin.

BRTC Jasmine Water

Again I'm on bb cream craze. I have been using BB cream since 1 year ago. I like how it helps me to reduce my acne and gives me much better skin look. My naked skin texture is not too good. Some acne scars, big pores, and uneven skin tone are really bothering me. BB cream helps me to cover them all. Actually it doesn't instantly give me a perfect skin look. Heavy scars won't be covered perfectly, but it's still acceptable for me. Besides, it last quiet awhile. I only need a pea size amount to cover my whole face properly. That's why I love bb cream and I think I will be a loyal user for long term.

Mostly problem on BB creams I get is about the hard blending caused by too thick texture. I solve it by putting moisturizer before bb cream. The other is the poor coverage. If so, I try to apply more layers. If that doesn't work, I try to apply other thicker bb cream on top of it. Another girl says that she uses concealer before bb cream and that works. I have a concealer but I am too lazy to try that tips^^

The other problem is when the bb cream looks dull in the middle of the day. It happens when my face produces too much oil that makes me needs to do a lot of blotting. I try not too often blotting. It dissolves my loose powder and bb cream.

Usually I put moisturizer, bb cream, and finish it by dusting with loose powder. It will look a bit fake at the beginning, but soon afterwards bb cream will settle down to adapt my natural skin tone. So it will be like a no-makeup look. People still may see some uncovered scars. But it has been reduced a lot.
Some girls complain that they break out on bb cream. I personally also get that sometimes. The major cases come up when I put wrong moisturizer. A too rich moisturizer will lead me to break out. The other cases happen when I don’t cleanse my face properly at the end of the day.

Recently I get BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream. Instead of buying the full size, I take the sample jar. As you know, BRTC's range of price is quiet wow. I don't dare to take risk of unsatisfying result after wasting a big amount of money. So I decided to make a trial run first.

The BRTC Jasmine Water is a triple function BB cream that gives a glowing skin tone through brightening, sun protection, and wrinkle care. Unfortunately it contains only SPF30 with no PA. We may still need to use extra sunscreen if we want a complete protection of sun ray.
After applying toner and moisturizer, I applied the BRTC BB cream. Its texture is a bit thick but easy to blend. The cream smells like jasmine and seems “rich”. However it just feels so light. I love how it feels as I wear nothing on my face.
 














The shade is slightly pinkish but naturally finished. The final result is matte and like air-brushed look. The oil control is medium. I get shiny on my nose after two hours.

The coverage is medium. At the moment I have some pimples looking bump on my face. The BRTC helps me fading it out but they are still visible. I think the Feverlet HD does better work in hiding skin imperfections.

Choosing a BB Cream

Hi All, I want to share the latest stuff that is bothering me lately. Do you know what? This is about choosing a right BB Cream! Haha .. Some of you may say that there is nothing worth to talk about. But, I think about it the whole day. Have you ever felt a same way when you really want to buy something? I think mostly girls are like that.

I have been trying several brands of bb cream: Skin79, Feverlet, Lotus Blossom, Dodoclub, Palgantong, Etude House, Missha. Mostly of them are good. The term “good” here is something like good coverage, good skin calming effect, good oil control, good looking (dewy/matte finish), no breakout, and good shade. But of course each item has its own intensity of the “good” that I mean.

The missing item here is that I feel no visibly healing effect. I read some reviews where the girls say they find their skin improved, smaller pores, smoother skin, less pimple, etc. But for me, I haven’t got it all.

I’m pondering to choose one between The Skin Food, BRTC, Dr. Jart, or Zamian.

• BRTC is rather expensive, so it will not get a high priority than the other.
• The SkinFood has its own loyal fans, besides the price (via online shop) is considerable.
• Dr. Jart is still 50-50. Some say the Dr. Jart is good for the healing, while others say it ends them up with breakout.
• Zamian came with a big acne healing claim. But the users say that after the experience, the result is not as good as the commercial promises. The benefit they got is some kind like bouncy and supple skin, but still finds no effect to the pores or acne. But I’m personally still curious about this brand. Zamian is a new comer in my country. Not too many people have tried, and the trial maybe still runs on few days/weeks only. So in my opinion, their testimony is still too earlier to be judged.

 














Currently I’m using Feverlet HD. At the beginning I was so impressed with this brand. It gives me fair complexion and quiet good coverage. But then I see that the shade is actually too fair. I can’t use a thick layer since it will make my skin become so pale like dead matte. Therefore I always put a tiny amount of the cream to get a matching shade. As the result, I can’t get a good coverage for the heavy spots. Besides, this one is also not too easy to be applied. I always feel that the cream is too dry. Once I manage my face with the Feverlet HD, my skin look dehydrated. Overall I love the fair shade it gives, but I’m eager to find a new one which is more hydrating plus provides healing.

Still in research @__@

Skin79 Super Beblesh Balm BB Triple Functions

There are so many BB cream brands everywhere. Do you confuse choosing the right one? I’ve been trying some brands for the last one year. Usually I hooked with the first experience with a bb cream. But after some time, I can make comparison about the one I use with the other. Skin79 Super Beblesh Balm BB Triple Functions is considerable in my opinion. Though it has pros and cons too. Please see what I got so far.

• I love to apply this cream for its easily blended texture. The consistency of the cream is slightly sheer and moist so that it can be applied effortlessly.
• It does moisten and soothes my face. My skin usually goes dryer in the middle of the day due to the air conditioning room. Thus I will get dehydrated skin. The Skin79 allows me to keep the more moisture on my skin better than the other BB creams I’ve tried so far.
• It contains SPF 25 PA++ hence no separate sunscreen needed. I was curious about PA notation added in the SPF term. PA means Protection Grade of UVA, while SPF is some kind like a protection from UVB. So, the women can get complete protection with the mix of both of them. Good!
• At the beginning, it gives me matte look and tends to grayish. But after a while it transforms to be dewy look for the cream starts to blend with the oil produced by my skin.
• The cream’s color is rather dark yet produces natural shade when being applied to the skin. Not too pale and fair like the Feverlet HD does.
• The coverage is light to medium. It helps fixing uneven complexion and corrects red blotches. But if you have heavy acne scars, you’ll need to apply more due to better fading effect. But I think it will not give perfect exposure though.
• I realized that my skin goes dryer than usual lately. Yet I still need to blot some times during the day. If I mentioned that I have oily skin at the former posts, maybe I need to revise it to be combination skin type. Some areas are oily but the others dehydrated. Referring to the Skin79 usage, I get medium oil control effect. Need to blot few times a day but the appearance is dewy instead of greasy.

Honestly I can’t say an objective review about the healing properties offered by bb creams. I use Dodoclub bb cream for almost one year and I find no visibly healing effect except it does help me to reduce the breakout. For your information, I used foundation previously before Dodoclub. That’s why I felt improvement when I used bb cream since it didn’t clog the pores as bad as foundation does.
Besides, I use the bb creams randomly according to my mood. Therefore I can’t really observe the improvement on each product. But, the Skin79 offers yummy triple functions that I believe you may interested with. They are:

• Whitening
• Wrinkles improvement
• Ultraviolet rays interception SPF25 PA++

And take a look what the label says:
It is 3 effects functional beblesh balm. By Adenosine and Arbutin ingredients which are effective in whitening wrinkles improvement cultivate more bright and elastic skin.

Full bottle size 40g

Directions
Use it proper quantity on the area of your face like patting at the last step of skin care

I don’t know exactly how to execute the way. I personally prefer wiping to patting method which is harder to be done.

At the moment I use the mini tube size and there is no ingredient list on the box. Maybe in Korean, but I can’t understand the meaning. I’m still not sure to buy the full size version although the packaging has luxurious design. I still want to continue the adventure of BB creams trial 

Misha M Perfect Cover BB Cream

At the beginning, I had no intention to try Missha’s BB cream. But, finding so many good raves, I started to think to give it a try. Then, I got a chance to check it out by receiving samples of Missha M Perfect Cover.

Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Cetyl PEF/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Zinc Oxide, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Arbutin, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Hydrolysed Collagen, Rosa Rubiginosa Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Squalane, Caviar Extract, Adenosine, Algae Extract, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Fagus Sylvatica Bud Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide 3, Chamomila Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Fragrance (Parfum), Triethanolamine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzyl Salicylate, Hydroxycitronellal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Citronellol. MAY CONTAIN [+/-; Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)]

I’ve tried many BB creams from various brands. In my opinion, this one is quiet good. The texture is not too thick and easily blends. Squeezing out the cream, I found that the shade is a little dark. But, when blended on my skin, it created a natural look. I’d like to make comparison with Lotus Blossom No Make Up and Feverlet HD. Both of them give me bright skin tone. But it looks a little unnatural. But Missha gives more natural look to me. Even when I accidentally apply too much BB Cream, it still looks natural.

It also gives a good coverage and finishes with flawless look. It fades out the freckles. It also has a quiet good oil control for its oil-free base. But, I washed my face using BRTC Blemish Soap which is specialized to control sebum, so I think that the oil control is also helped by the blemish soap.

The special properties I love is that it have high SPF content (SPF42 PA+++), whitening and anti wrinkle effect. Surely I will not put too much hope on it since I try only the sample size. But at least I’m sure that I’m putting a nutritious cream on my skin.



 

BB Cream

BB (Blemish Balm) cream becomes very popular recently and I join the craze as well. I started with Dodo Club. Actually the other Korean brands such as Missha, Skin Food, and The Face Shop also launched the same product. But, since the market education from Dodo Club was the most, so I decided to give it a try. Especially when I read its interesting feature as 4 in 1 product: Essential Cream, Sun Care, Makeup Base, and Foundation. Besides, this stated to “ .. provide enough nutrition during daytime".
My first impression for using this BB cream is the good coverage. I used foundation before and it worsened my acne. This cream is also nourishing my skin. I found my skin became moist after being cleansed, while foundation led me to clogged pores and rough skin.
The texture is a bit thick and hard to be applied. That’s why I prefer to use moisturizer before BB cream. But anyway, its consistency is lighter than common foundation.

BB Samples Advanture
Afterwards I get chances to try various samples of BB Cream: Lioele, Feverlet, Feverlet HD, Palgantong One Touch Color Essence, Lotus Blossom HD No make up, and Skin79.
After some trial with many brands, I can make an evaluation. Dodo Club doesn’t really moisten my skin. In the middle of the day, I find that the spots and large pores started to appear. While using Skin79, Feverlet, and Lotus Blossom, I can get a fresh natural look until evening.

Unfortunately I find no healing effect since I use the sample size and switch it randomly. Dodo Club also gives me no healing effect. But it helps to prevent acne.
About the coverage, Dodo club is better than Palgantong One Touch Color Essence which is sheerer. While Lioele gives me nothing special. It doesn’t cover the spot properly but helps in controlling sebum.
Lotus Blossom contains spf and has good coverage and oil control. This is almost similar to Feverlet HD. But Feverlet is sheerer, whiter, and easier to be applied.








Feverlet HD and Skin79 give me natural look. Dodo Club comes in pinky shade. Feverlet, Lioele, and Skin79 have medium shade. Feverlet and Lotus Blossom come in brighter tone, but still natural as long as we don’t apply too much.
Although BB cream is highlighted for its additional healing properties, we should realize that this is a cosmetic, not a skin care. That’s why we should do well cleansed after using it. I usually use cleansing milk as my first cleanser, and then continue with face cleanser and toner. My next BB Cream targets are Shills, BRTC, and Skin79 Super plus BB gold.
