What can I say,
this stuff is genius!!!
I actually discovered
BB Cream by accident. I like buying Asian cosmetics, so one day when I
was shopping on Ebay I happened to come across the powder. I bought it, really
liked it and after a few months when I was running low decided to buy more. I
couldn’t find it, but I found the liquid kind, so I bought that one because it
said that it helps with acne and wrinkles. I luved
it!
Ok for those of
you who don’t know what bb cream is here’s a little background on this product:
"BB cream, also known as Blemish Balm, Blemish Base or Beblesh Balm, is a cosmetic item sold mainly in East and Southeast Asia.
Originally formulated in Germany by Dr. med. Christine Schrammek it was initially used by dermatologists to help laser surgery patients protect, soothe and refine highly sensitive skin while providing light coverage for post-laser scars, acne and other blemishes.
BB creams come in a variety of different formulations and qualities. Some are said to have skin whitening or brightening properties. Others are anti-acne, some are anti-wrinkle, some are intended to even out skin tone, and yet others to lighten blemish scars. BB creams are sometimes used like a primer under foundation, and if tinted may even replace foundation and some newer ones will have functions of primer, foundation, moisturizer, sun block, pore minimization and skin refining together which can save time and money in make-up." -Wikipedia.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BB_cream)

Now since it’s
originally from Asia that means that its color is based on Asian women (that
means it’s light), but that doesn’t mean everyone
else can’t us it. I’m Mexican so I have a year-round tan, but I can still pull
it off (at least I think lol) well at least until summer comes around. Ok so now,
that doesn’t mean darker shade women can’t use this, oh no. You can still
use it the only thing you have to do is mix it with your foundation.
So yeah this
stuff is good, personally I don’t like wearing makeup because of all the steps
you have to take with the foundation, concealer, etc, but with BB Cream
it’s all you need (at least for me). In the time that I’ve used it I break-out
less and my face is softer with and without BB Cream.
So far I have
used three different brands: Missha, Mistine, and Etude House. I really like
all of them, but my favorite one and the one I noticed goes better for
my skin type is Mistine and Missha. For those of you asking where to purchase BB Cream you
can try Ebay, Etude House.com, or Amazon. There are many other places where you can
buy them just make sure it’s legit. You have to be careful where you buy it
from because there are a few fakes out there. If you’re really interested in
buying BB cream I can e-mail you the link to the places I bought them.
