Pond's Flawless White BB Cream Review

After my Maybelline BB cream ran out (finally!), I had the chance to try the Pond's Flawless White BB cream (Light). It's similar in almost every aspect to the Maybelline BB cream, differing only in consistency and shade. Pond's gives off a light pink undertone, giving you a youthful glow, in contrast to Maybelline's grayish undertone. Coverage-wise, they're almost the same, giving minimal coverage ideal for everyday use. The Pond's BB has a thicker consistency and thus, more product is used when applying. This is also suitable for all skin types.

I don't know about its claim, 'lightens from within' but what I do know is that it brightens my face whenever I use it! This product has an SPF of 30 so you can skip the sunblock if you're not planning on staying under the sun for too long. It is also very affordable, which is great for those who are on a budget!

To be honest, the only negative thing I can think of is that this product is too bulky, and will hardly fit in your purse. I suggest you bring a more portable BB cream when traveling. But if you can afford the extra space, why not?

Will I repurchase? Definitely!

Aside from my Shu Uemura Mousse Foundation and Too Cool For School BB Foundation Lunchbox, these are the BB Cream/Foundation I have with me. They're quite a lot considering the fact that I don't wear makeup that often. Most of these were gifts or from giveaways. To tell you the truth, I haven't had the chance to try each one out because there were just too many. Plus, I have this habit of completely emptying my current bottle of makeup/beauty product before opening a new one. As of now, I've only tried the Maybelline, MAC, and Pond's BB Cream, and so far so good! I'll be posting reviews once I get to try each one out!

Which one do you want me to try next? :) 

TCFS After School BB Foundation Lunchbox Review

(Image source: Google)

It's probably time to introduce all of you to my current favorite foundation, the Too Cool for School After School BB Foundation Lunchbox! It comes in two kinds and I'm using the one for watery skin (#2). Actually, this was one of the things Ryan bought for me in Korea. I have no idea how he got hold of such an amazing product! 

Among all the BB/Foundation products I've tried, this one provides the coverage best suited for my skin--not too light but not too heavy. It hides blemishes perfectly and lightens up the face, making the skin look flawless. There is a built-in spatula inside which can be useful for scooping out the product from the bottle. The texture is so thick that you only need to use a small amount at a time. I honestly think this is going to stay with me for the next few years since I don't wear makeup that often lol. Another great thing about this product is that it has SPF37 PA++, quite enough sun protection if you ask me (but note that you have to use a sunblock with a much higher SPF with frequent applications if you're planning to stay under the sun for a long time). Although it is bigger in size compared to other BB/foundation products, it can still be considered travel-friendly because it comes with a concealer and highlighter on its lid. Cool, right? :) The concealer has a creamy texture and hides my under eye circles pretty well (but then again, my under eye circles aren't that dark to begin with so I'm not so sure of its concealing ability). The highlighter is nice too since it gives off a natural glow.

Am I going to repurchase when it runs out? Definitely!

Crazy about Makeup

Banila Co. Primer BB Cream in Nude

These are the makeup I bought recently. I'm not just talking about the one above, there are more! (Click the button below to see everything.) This sudden love for makeup gave me the motivation to buy anything and everything I set my eyes on. Some of these were even bought in Korea in two separate occasions by two different people. I'm thinking of posting reviews about some of the stuff here. Do you think that would be a great idea? :)
