when stressed hits.....

First, I was planning on just getting the SKIN79 Hologram pearl gold compact, but softpeachy was out. As you know, Ill be going back home to NY and my compact was running kinda low, I figured HECK why not get a couple more just to stock up for summer as well as for my trip to TW in August. As I was looking around, yes...looking as in browsing, an image floated in my mind, triggering it humming...'try skinfood...try skinfood'. So what did dear Meo do? Began going on youtube.com searching for the TW show that introduced Skinfood makeup...getting on forums to read whats good and whats not. My conclusion after that is, since my skin type differs in winter and in summer, i figured ill try all three of them to see which suits me better for which seasons...smart thinking aye?? Yep...gotta have all three, i can always mix it up and use it together right? All these 3 diff bb cream has its own functions, however one doesnt have SPF in it...I have yet to try these on my face...will update!




OOo..yes the compact...so then, back to browsing for my compact...gosh dang it...they didnt have Skin79 hologram anymore....ERGHHHHHH....so i tot...
so, my other find was this, and it worked just like the hologram gold as it has crushed pearls in the compact, giving a dewy look as well as a very soft texture...so in love with it...it works PERFECT as a finishing product as it brightens up my skin giving a healthy complexion as shown in previous posts.


For some reason, I am in love with any makeup that contains crushed pearls...so I treated myself with this as well...figured..HECK why not...THEY are delivering the other stuff, one more wont hurt much. I tested this on my hand and it glides on really smoothly and gives a dewy finish...totally recommend!!!


Of course, all that damage did come with a lot of samples...when i mean alot i mean ALOT! I didnt even finish the other samples i got from the last order....
Most of the samples were SKINFOOD and a couple were BRTC, I am totally taking BRTC outta my mind...SCINIC, the FACE shop, MISSHAshiny works the best for NC15 skin tones (n skinfood in light)

Ill be posting pics of the whole early birthday presentS to self very soon.

P/S: my dad told me that he got me a new camera and a new watch for my bday which is in 15 days...cant wait to see him, my mom n sis this friday!!! YAY!

ergh..finals on thursday....

drumroll please....

Managed to take a couple pics in natural light...used SCINIC bb cream today, as well as MAC concealer...MAC eyeliner...LORAC blush.
To those that have been waiting patiently,

ergh

after reading the comments i got from lilbebe, i did some research and saw that SCINIC bb cream costs twice as much at evecare.com compared to sasa.com, even at amazon.com it costs twice as much...DANG! its such a good beginner bb cream that i totally recommend to all the girls out there that want to give bb cream a shot. Remember how I was biatching bout my blemishes on my face a couple months back, now my confidence is back....SCINIC and THE FACE SHOP bb cream did its job! I rather spend the money on those 2 bb creams than BRTC frankly speaking.
I also recommend SKIN79 hologram pearl compact SPF 30 together with the bb cream....and TADA! flawless face....even after 9 hours being out in the sun. When i mean flawless i mean, no melting of makeup...ur face will still look as smooth as if there's no makeup on.
I guess Ill use SCINIC bb cream and SKIN79 compact again and again. I still have THE FACE SHOP and SCINIC bb creams left, maybe ill stock up next month or so, together with the SKIN79 compact.

Sasa.com order

Remember how I mentioned in my previous blog bout my purchase from sasa.com, well I got a chance to try out the Scinic BB cream (the one and only one they were selling), and it turned out to be FABU!!!! I LIKEY!!!!
Although it is not a huge brand, actually its pretty much unheard of, it's as good as THE FACE SHOP BB cream.
I am off the BRTC bb cream as it has a darker tone than THE FACE SHOP or Scinic. My skin is absorbing THe FACE SHOP and Scinic better, in fact, my akin is improving faster than if I were to use BRTC.
The consistency of Scinic is smooth and VERY easy to blend. It melted right into my skin without any flaws. By the end of the day, my makeup still stayed on without looking cakey or oily. Scinic and THE FACE SHOP matched my skin tone the best and I am a NC15 in MAC.
I am glad Scinic came in 50ml and for the price NOT BAD AT ALL!! I definately recommend this to everybody who wants to take a shot at using BB creams for the first time, wont go wrong!!!

THE FACE SHOP

On the third day at NY, went to Flushing with some of my friends...was looking for BB creams at those Korean beauty stores...alot of different brands; mostly unheard of...THEN...i saw THE FACE SHOP...i remembered reading at ABB about their BB creams...so I decided to give it a shot. It was 32 bucks for 1.59fl oz...
The texture is very easy to spread out, light but with full coverage. It matched my skin tone perfectly, and mind you I am a NC15 (in MAC)...there wasnt any fragrance in that bb cream...had perfect oil control, meaning I didnt even have to blot in between my 9 hr outdoor exposure. The bb cream gave me somewhat of a dewy look, hm...I should say more towards the dewy side yet a lil matte. I have yet to breakout from this product, better not jinx myself...HA
Overall, Ill give this product a 5/5...no CONS yet...Ill update in a week or so about this product...

Cant seem to find a picture of this off the internet, will do so when I update next week!

BB cream craze...

Since I've started school, my face has been breaking out and scarring. SO, I've been reading blogs and forums on the BB cream that's so popular in Korea.
Here's what I bought from softpeachyshop.com:











I think Ill have to wait more than a week for it to arrive. I CANT WAIT!!! I really hope after a few months of using it, or actually before June, my skin will clear up all ready for my trip to TAIWAN!! I heard its gonna be freaking hot, so I want to refrain from using makeup when I get there.

Ill update once I start using them!!!
