Kameria BB cream : Hydrating



0 comments

Kameria BB cream

This would be something strange for all as me myself didn't hear of this brand at first too. I found it hanging in a corner in watsons and i grab it because of it's ultra CUTE packaging :P

Kameria Baby face BB cream

It comes in 2 packaging, Pink for hydrating and blue for whitening. I picked the pink one to try.





It look like it has bits of water drops and dissolves when blended completely. It comes with SPF30 PA++ which allows me to skip my sunblock :p



My thoughts

Overall, this is a good BB cream to try. It comes with SPF 30, no unbearable scent and it is not sticky! Coverage is good without it being too thick. It only comes in one tone which is quite light, i prefer BB creams to come in different tones to suit everyone.

BB Cream vs. Traditional Makeup

BB cream is for lazy people like me. :P *Just joking* But BB cream covers lots of steps that traditional makeup need. In traditional makeup, we have to apply the sunscreen, moisturizer, makeup base, foundation, concealer, etc. but in BB cream, it covers almost all the steps we need in applying the base makeup. Imagine the time saved using BB creams. Since using BB creams has skipped so many steps, it produces a very natural, "no makeup look". It works like a tinted moisturizer and has healing properties that soft, smoothen, and refine skin.

My Reviews

Thinking of 10 benefits in 1 tube sounds too good enough to be true, but it really did make my makeup application easier. I do feel that it brings out glow in my face without me highlighting and my face look brighter. My uneven tones are lighten and lines are not so obvious (i do not have lots of lines too :P) It comes with SPF25/PA++ and it allows me to save one the sunblock step when i'm not going into the sun. It claims to whiten, i'm still not very sure about it, I will try it longer to see the whitening effects.


Besides the goods, there are a few bad/okok reviews. I feel that this is slightly thicker than the Multi-Effects BB cream, and i can't apply too much on face. The BB cream tone is very pale, so i assume it's for those with light skin. If i apply too much, i really do look like ghost. Although it has oil control, i do still have to blot almost at the end of the day. Other than these, overall, it's not bad!
I would love to reccomend to those who want to find a whitening bb cream with so many benefits! If you wanna try, here a link to get it free! (For SG readers only!)

[Bio-Essence] Bio-Essence Multi-Effect BB Cream



0 comments



It has been a long time since i review a bb cream :P Before i receive this bb cream, i was using Revlon Colorstay (still my favourite) and finally, i started to switch back to BB Cream :)

I received a few BB creams (3 in exact) for reviews and i'm excited! I'm going to review the Bio-Essence Multi Effect BB Cream in this post.


(Look using Bio Essence Multi-Effect BB Cream)










What is BB cream

BB Creams (Blemish Balm Cream) originated from Germany and was initially prescribed by dermatologists to patients who had undergone laser skin treatments to soothe redness and cater to their sensitive skin. The trend of using BB Creams caught on in Korea when celebrities started using them to create a natural and dewy finish. The use of this multi-purpose wonder-cream is a sizzling-hot beauty trend, particularly in Asia, and has helped many girls streamline their beauty regime.

 

 

BB Creams

Bio-Essence comes with 3 different BB creams to cater to everyone! (It was almost sold out when i went to a Watsons branch yesterday!). Aqua BB Cream provides moisture, Platinum provides whitening purposes and the multi-effect BB cream provides coverage.

  • New Bio-essence Bio-Platinum BB Cream Plus Multi Effects SPF 25 PA/ ++
    • Whitening
  • New Bio-essence Aqua BB Cream
    • Moisture
  • Bio-essence Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream SPF25/PA++
    • Coverage

I will be reviewing them one by one :) I'm starting off the with the Multi-Effect BB Cream.

 


Bio-Essence Multi-Effect BB Cream

Its light and smooth texture creates a natural flawless finish that does not need any touching up.

Also, gone are the days when you have to spend 30 minutes to do your makeup. With Bio-essence’s Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream SPF25/PA++, you just need 10 minutes to have the perfect skin you have always desired.

(In a survey done by HK Fashion and Beauty Magazine among 6 other competitive BB
Creams, the Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream came up tops in terms of being the BB Cream that
adheres most closely to the skin for flawless coverage.)

My Reviews

I love how it make my skin flawless, especially my dark eye circles and uneven skin tones. My pores seems to be hidden too. I'm not very sure about whitening, will update soon after trying out for a longer period. I love the SPF25/PA++ in it, perfect for working enviornment :) The BB Cream do seems to have very light tone, and after application, i really look like a ghost! I applied MAC MSF powder on top and it comes out alright. I tried it for a week, no break outs, face do feel a little oily, have to blot in the middle of the day. Other than these, this BB cream is perfect for those who wanna start try out BB creams.
