Beauty Review: Baviphat Sugar Girl Moist Collagen BB Cream

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry - combination - sensitive type of skin.

BAVIPHAT SUGAR GIRL MOIST COLLAGEN BB CREAM

This BB Cream was provided by http://shoppingholics.com for review purposes only. I did not get paid to do this review and I'm not affiliated to the said company.

This is the first time I heard about Baviphat brand. I was curious so I went ahead and agreed to try it. All year long, I have been off foundation. I like BB Creams better than most foundations. Why?

♥ Most BB creams are built in with SPF which is the most vital skin care you can use to avoid sun spots, sun burned and premature againg.
♥ Most BB Creams have already built in primer and concealer so you can save money of not buying primers and concealer and just use one product.
♥ Most BB Creams fade acne spots - I used to have a lot of acne scars
♥ Most BB Creams have healing properties which can help you with acne

Baviphat Sugar Girl Moist Collagen BB Cream claimes to CONCEAL, SMOOTH, MOISTURIZE, and PROTECT. It also helps with the healing process of a troubled skin like when its peeling or after a laser treatment.



This BB Cream is actually cheap for 30mL. Lasts a long time because little goes a long way!



Dotting the BB Cream on my face... You only need a little bit. Spread it on a clean, moisturized face.



During summer, I get dark. I am usually NC 35-40 (MAC foundation) so this BB Cream is actually light on me. I think I rather use this BB Cream during winter when I get a little bit lighter but for those NC 25 and below, you're good to use this.


As you can see, it does leave a white cast on pictures because of the built in SPF on it so I don't recommend this during night outs and taking pictures, unless you want to look like casper or a coke-r.




It's easy to spread, the skin absorbs it well, and it leaves like a powdery finish so I didn't even need any finishing powder after. I have dry skin though so I need a moisturizer before I even apply this or it will look dry on my face.


Overall, I do recommend this BB cream. The price is right and it works, as long as you won't use this while taking pictures at night. The lasting power is great as well (I'm not sure for those who have oily skin). I didn't have to re-apply powder or cream through out the day. The product claims to be waterproof, so I like using this during hot sunny days because its light and well when I sweat, it doesn't get smudged off.



Overall Rating:

Beauty Review: SKIN79 The Oriental Gold BB Cream

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry - combination - sensitive type of skin.

I ordered this from cosme-de.com. I have been using this for over 2 months now. I am happy with their costumer service because when I first order from them, I was suppose to get $5 off when I checked out but they didn't give it to me at the end of my order so I emailed them and they gave me $5 right away. They also shipped my order and I got it in 10 days (considering it came from HongKong). They also give you tracking number so you can track it. They also ship FREE.

Description: (from cosme-de.com)
SKIN79 The Oriental Gold BB Cream with excellent serum control. Recommended for combination to dry skin. Better moisturizer function, anti-wrinkle and whitening
Triple function - Whitening, Wrinkle improvement and UV Protection(Sun block) SPF 25 PA++. Excellent coverage that events out skin tone naturally. This BB Cream comes with a bi-functional mossue for lip color and blush.


MY TAKE:
PROS: I like how it glides in easy in to my skin. It is also very light. It's not cake-y, or drying. I just dot them on my face and spread them using my fingers (make sure your fingers are clean of course) I also love that it came with a blush. 
excuse my dry lips


Here you can see the shade of the blush. It's just the right hint to make a cheek look glowing.

I also tried the cream blush on my lips. As you can see it also gives my lips some nice color.

I like how it looks natural and not heavy. It oxidizes into my skin in minutes.

CONS: You will have a white cast when you photograph yourself with a flash. As far as I know, it only have one shade and not so many can use this BB cream because of that. I am NC25-30 during winter and NC35-40 during summer. I am not very fond of the container as well. It's cute, yes but I'd rather have the "normal" pump like the Missha BB Cream

OVERALL: I like it, I love trying out different BB Creams and so far this one is one of the BB Creams I will for sure repurchase.

Beauty Review: Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream #23 Natural Beige

NOTE: Try this product at your own risk. If it works for me, it does not mean it will work for you too. Everyone has different types of skin. My skin consists of dry - combination - sensitive type of skin.

I have ordered some BB creams including this Missha BB Cream from Cosme-de.com last October 02, and it arrived Oct 12! It was so fast considering that it came from HongKong! :) They also have this thing when you first registered to them, they will give you $5 off on your first purchase. In my case, the $5 off did not register on my total amount so I emailed them about it but they said they will take the $5 off when they charge me on my card.

What I like about cosme-de.com is their FREE SHIPPING!

Price when I purchased it: $23.00

Price right now: $15.00 but has to be purchased with another product to qualify for this price.

Product description: (from cosme-de.com site)

Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream (also known as Blemish Balm Cream) makes your skin tone clean and natural by concealing blemishes with excellent skin coverage. It is a multi functional makeup cream with blocking UV Rays, whitening and wrinkle care effects and simplifies makeup. Its moisturized application with W/S texture makes sleek skin tone while supplying moisture and nutrition at the same time.


This is a multi function BB Cream with effect of UV blocking, whitening and wrinkle care, creating perfect cover makeup.
After basic skin care, apply an appropriate amount along the skin texture and finish with powder. Do not need to apply sun cream in addition.



It comes with two shades:

I got the #23 which is the Natural Beige

MY SHADE IN OTHER BRANDS:
MAC: It's been a year since I last got matched by a MAC MUA and she told me I am NC30.
MAKE UP FOREVER: I am #123 in their HD Invisible Foundation
NARS: I am Stromboli in Nars Sheer Glow foundation



MY TAKE:
PROS: It is very light, it doesn't look cake-y, it's easy to blend, it has this kind of like powdery finish which I really like because it looks natural! I like the fact that it has already SPF in it, so I don't have to worry about applying sunscreen to my face. It has whitening - which is great if you have uneven skin tone. It also has anti-wrinkle properties which is good. I really love this BB cream better than my L'egere BB cream before because of the effect it gives my skin.

(without flash)

CONS: It is not readily available (at least in my area). It can be drying. At least to me, because I have to use moisturizer or else it kind of look like I have dry patches on my chin area. It is also not "night friendly" What I mean by that is, if you are wearing this at night and you photograph yourself, you will have like a white cast. Your face will look much lighter than your entire body. I also don't like that they don't come in other shades. It would be better if they'll come up with darker shades.

OVERALL: I like it very much! I will repurchase for sure!
