Etude House

Purchased BB cream in Etude House . . .

Precious BB Cream Mineral with SPF30/PA++

Anti-Wrinkle, Whitening & Anti-Darkening

Then the sales lady suggested if I purchased worth SGD50.00, I can get a free membership card.  Asked her 'bout the benefits.  She said, I will have a 7-percent discount on my next purchase, other princess benefits and a lifetime membership.  So I just have to add another SGD10.00 to get the membership card.  I added...

 Thought of giving something to my daughter :-d.  Aside from the membership card, I got freebies too :-p...

And finally, my membership card (hi hi hi)

Thank you and Thank you!! :-D

Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals BB Cream with SPF26/PA+++

...contains 8 healthy minerals for 8 healthy skin results based on clinical tests:

more radiance
more hydration
improved clarity
smoother skin
more even skintone
less redness
fewer lines
better appearance

It's a tinted moisturizer, sunblock, and make-up base in one fabulous product...

I have a fair, normal/combi and freckled face.  Been using this product for a week.  The consistency of the cream is watery, so I am very careful when opening the cap and squeezing the tube.  It is advisable that the mouth tube is place upwards when opening and squeezing.  Tried first with sponge it didn't work - it absorbs quickly on sponge.  Best applied using fingertips and it blended pretty well.  While applying, it feels like I'm applying a moisturizer.  When cream settled on my skin, it was perfect.  I actually like the color on my skin compared to Hydro Splash BB Cream.  In Hydro... it was more darker than my skin tone.

When I'm out, as in outdoor errands,  my whole face was perspiring as if I put a huge amount of moisturizer on my skin.  As a result, the 8 promising effect wears off easily.  I even tried not to put moisturizer before the BB cream,  but still my face perspires.  Also, it feels oily after few hours outdoor.

I better not use this on my outdoor walk.  Well, I will not buy this product again,  at least I bought it cheaper lah!   I'm not happy at all :-(

Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals B.B Cream

It's back!  So glad to see the item this morning in CK Dept Store.  But  I saw two items left so I bought it without the second thought :P.  It's now $15.80.  Dunno if they have the same price with Watsons.

The Face Shop Hydro Splash BB Cream SPF20, PA++

Price: $24.90 SGD

I have a fair, normal/combi and freckled face. I still used moisturizer then bb cream.  

Pros: 

• affordable
• packaging is quite good for the price
• with SPF and 70% water based formula
• tube when squeezed is not messy
• it really gives you a natural coverage and dewy finish 
• it doesn't break on my skin
• not cakey
• discoloration on my neck covers well
• no irritation
• if I stay in a fully air-conditioned / cool place -the dewy effect stays longer at least 8 hours

Cons:
*when I have errands mostly outdoor (on field)  -

• my face is a little bit sticky
• I'm confused to see that my face was oily when in fact its the dewy look
• the dewy effect wears off after few hours

I prefer to use sponge when applying the cream cos it's more easy and even.  If using fingertips - I should apply it very gently cos it easily absorbs my skin.  

Overall, the product is very good.  I highly recommend it!!

I recently bought from Face Shop the Hydro Splash BB Cream worth SGD24.90.  Hopefully soon I could post a review.  Actually on my wish list is the Flebeaute White Crystal BB Cream but it cost almost 50SGD.  I bought Hydro Splash because it is affordable and  I've read a quite good reviews.  I can't find any reviews for Flebeaute Crystal BB Cream.  Yeah, they have a tester and tried it on my hand, the coverage was light yet I noticed a glow like - Ok, I need more cream duh... I dunno.  But what was said on the product label fascinates me, so intriguing.

I would like my face to have a glowing effect.  I have a fair, combi/normal and freckled face.  The hydro splash has a very dewy effect and I thought dewy look is nice.  Maybe the glow effect of this Flebeaute BB cream is much better :-D
