BB Cream

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.
