Sorry for not posting for so long~ I've been very busy with exams lately, but I'll definitely try to get a few more makeup tutorials and cosplay shoot photos up soon!~ :D
So today I bought my second BB cream(I've tried 4 different ones so far), and I absolutely love it, so since I have next to nothing to do, I decided to write a review for it~
This is my first makeup review, I'll try my best!~ ^^
The BB cream I will be reviewing is Skin79's Super+ Beblesh Balm~
I got this from a little shop near Chinatown for $35AUD, although I have seen it in a few other shops in the area for a bit more ($40-$60).
It is supposed to have 'Triple Functions', whitening, UV protection SPF25 and wrinkle prevention~
Packaging Design: 10/10
I absolutely love the designs of the box and container! Although I'm not a huge fan of the colour pink, the simple but nice design really stood out to me, and was one of the reasons that I bought it. Yay for impulse buying? ^^;
I think that the little pink bottle is really cute and pretty (Yes, I am a weirdo that finds bottles cute XD), and the pump is very easy to use~
Coverage and Colour: 7.5/10
The coverage is medium-light, it works nicely as a light foundation if you have pretty good skin, and it is buildable if you want more coverage, but it might not cover any large/dark blemishes or acne. I like to first use a little bit of concealer on any very dark blemishes or dark under eye circles before putting on the BB cream. It also has quite a dewy finish, but I personally prefer my skin to be a bit more matte, so I also like to but a light layer of powder over it.
This BB cream is not very pale, it is only a little bit lighter than the skin on my face (I am slightly paler than average Asian person I guess? About a NC20-NC25), and I really like it, since I prefer to look lighter rather than darker. This BB cream might be a bit too light for anyone whose skin is tanner than average.
It also seems to have a bit of a grey-ish undertone as opposed to a yellow or pink undertone. I actually really like this, as it helps cover up redness quite well, which I something I often have a problem with.
Consistancy and Feel: 8/10
The consistency is about the same most liquid foundations. It blends out very easily and quite thinly, and doesn't feel heavy even when I build up a few layers.
Moisturising/Oil Control: 9/10
My skin is quite dry, apart from my nose which can get quite oily. Most of my face often tends to feel dry when I only wear powder foundation for more than a few hours, even after I moisturize, especially since I wear my foundation quite thick when I cosplay. However, if I wear a layer or two of this BB cream under powder foundation, my skin feels significantly less dry than the usual.
As for oil control, it also seemed to help. When I go out, only wearing powder foundation, I find that on average, I need to powder over my nose every 3 or so hours. However, when I wore this BB cream under my cosplay makeup for about 10 hours on Sunday, I only had to powder over it once for the entire day~
My makeup did not flake off or rub off at all like it usually does either, so I would really recommend this as a makeup base for those of you who like to sometimes wear heavy makeup like me~
This BB cream seems to work quite well for my skin, which is quite dry in some places, and slightly oily in others, so I think that it would be appropriate for most skin types other than the extremes.
Smell: 8/10
The smell is quite pleasant and light, but nothing amazing. If I had to describe it's I'd say that it smells sort of like perfume mixed with a little bit of baby powder?
Whitening/UV Protection/Wrinkle Improvement:
My skin tone changes on an almost daily basis depending on the amount of sleep I get, and I don't go out in the sun much, so I'm probably not the best person to judge the effects of whitening and UV protection. As for wrinkle improvement... I'll tell you guys in about 20 years? XD (Jk~~)
Negative Effects?:
I have quite sensitive (read: annoying) skin that reacts badly to many types of chemicals, and a few types of makeup, but this BB cream has not caused me to have any breakouts or rashes after using it for a week. I would say that it is quite safe to use on most skin types, but always be careful, and test a small amount of the product on your skin first if you know you have allergies or sensitive skin!
Overall Rating: 8.5
Would I recommend it?
Yes, I would definitely recommend this! Out of the BB creams I have tried so far (Baviphat Sugar Girl Moist Collagen, Baviphat Magic Girls, Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector, Skin79 Super+), I definitely like this one the best!
I would recommend this to anyone with light to medium skin tone, who is looking for a medium, natural coverage, or a just great base to use under thicker makeup~ ^^

I am going through this post and thinking of it’s theme and trying to understand what is this post about. At last I can have found something from this post which feels pretty good.
