Skin79 BB cream comparison + Giveaway

Here are Skin79 BB cream comparison that I have been meaning to do!

 As you know there are TONS of BB creams out there and it can be frustrating trying to find the right one for you, as with Skin79 they have many different series of BB cream, each and every one seems to be slightly different from each other from the shade, consistency and coverage.

I wanted to point out some of the main differences within the 3 Skin79 BB cream that I got to use so far~

Some pointers for Skin79 BB cream:

There are tons of imitation/fake bb creams out there and here are some of the ways Skin79 have improved in insuring your BB cream's Authenticity.

Also Skin79 Have updated their Hot pink BB cream since the one I got in this review, here are the new changes :)

Now on to the comparisons~

I will compare them with LIGHT, MEDUIM, HEAVY in terms of describing how they are out of 3 bb cream in this post.

 1. Oriental Gold BB cream

Shade: MEDIUM

 This is my favorite out of the 3 since the color matches true to my skin tone, I am about NC20 in mac shade, there isnt much grey undertone like the other ones but rather goes on skin shade. Out of 3 this is the medium shade.

Consistency: MEDIUM

This is the oiliest/moist feeling bb cream out of the 3 but thickness are in the medium not so thick and not so watery, goes on very smooth and evenly. 

Coverage: MEDIUM

The coverage are good, covers almost all my flaws well with a natural finish. you can build it so that it will give off more coverage, out of the 3 this one this bb cream gives off medium coverage.

Overall:

This is my favorite out of 3 because the shade matches really well and goes on skin shade without weird grey undertone most BB cream gives off, also I have not experienced any breakouts from this BB cream! There is added bonus to this bb cream, it comes with face/lip tint that gives off perfect flushed pink tone :)

Pro:

No grey undertone

Havent experienced breakouts

comes with face/lip tint

good coverage

great for dry skin type 

con:

can feel too heavy/oily

2. Absolute Total BB cream

tube type

Shade:LIGHT

what I noticed first thing about this bb cream is that it is really fair! The lightest shade out of 3, remember I am already pretty fair having nc20 tone but this one is about nc15! 

Consistency: LIGHT

This one out of the 3 are the lightest consistency, its not so thick like the other ones but feels moisturizing and goes on very smooth

Coverage: LIGHT

I felt that you needed a lot of product to cover any sort of blemish with this one, goes on very light

Overall:

I didnt really care for this one too much,, It gives off white pale finish with slight grey undertone, I didnt see any radiance or shimmering effect from their so called diamond power in this bb cream rather it made me have small breakout every time I used this bb cream...   Dont really like how thin the consistency are also I felt like I needed to use more product to cover my face, great for anyone that is really fair and looking for light coverage.

Pro:

has highest SPF out of 3

good for fair complexion

Con:

small breakouts

Too light/pale

thin consistency

 3. Triple Function Hot pink BB cream

Shade: HEAVY

This bb cream is the darkest shade out of the 3 and with the most grey undertone shade. It goes on slight off shade due to the grey-ness but it oxidate after a while. 

Consistency: HEAVY

Consistency are very similar to Oriental BB cream but I feel like this one feels thicker but not so oily like the Oriental BB cream, goes on very even and smoothly.

Coverage: Heavy

Very good coverage goes on pretty thick so you dont really need too much product to cover the blemishes.  Since this one are thickest out of 3 it does feel slightly heavy on the skin.

Overall:

I really liked this BB cream at first, but after a while I noticed that it didnt really match my skin tone too well and didnt really care that it has noticeable grey undertone. Since the formula have been updated Im not sure how they are compared to the old formula that I have tried so I really cant say much... Just hope they upgraded to a point that it isnt so much greyish tone and that its not as heavy feeling anymore :D

Pro:

Coverage are good

Goes on very smoothly

Con:

heavy on the grey undertone

feels heavy on skin

Skin79 Oriental Gold BB Cream Review

 Skin79 Oriental Gold BB Cream

sponsored by Pinkyparadise.com

 KFDA 3 Functions Certification: Whitening/Wrinkle Improvement/UV Interception SPF25 PA++

Triple effect BB cream keeps skin more resilient and brilliant with natural ingredients improving skin into glossy and sleek status, more completely protecting skin exposed to UV rays. 

  

Ideal for dry/combination skin that needs whitening and wrinkle improvement, the Oriental Gold BB cream replenishes skin’s much needed moisture and nutrients to keep it baby-smooth and flawless.  Packs 10 beauty benefits in a jar, this also comes with a lip and cheek cream in dusty rose.

The oriental tea blending ingredients including White Tea, Green Tea and Black Tea keep skin brighter and firmer. Two patent ingredients of The Oriental Tea Newplex and Natural Complex Extract keep skin healthy by protecting skin from outer harmful substances.

Directions:
BB Cream: Use it proper quantity on the area of your face like patting at the last step of skin care.

Creamy Touch Color Lip & Cheek: Apply proper amount to both cheek and spread it with fingers even over the lip.

I made a Video of how I apply this BB cream :)

 

Ok so this Oriental Gold BB cream comes with its own cheek and lip cream tint that I adore and I didnt think I would like it since I avoid applying cream type on my cheek since my past experiences of using one it made me break out but this feels just like the BB Cream and it doesnt feel greasy and goes on really natural and light with I am really digging :)

The pump is kinda weird and sorta hard to use and it seems to flow out so you only need to press alittle or else you get too much product,, and you dont need alot to cover your whole face with this BB cream,, I only use about alittle bit more than what you see above~ little goes a long way

:D 

Break Down on this BB cream:

The consistency are like thick gel and feels like lotion on the skin and not oily,, Covers really really well and goes on the skin really dewy and does not feel heavy on the skin, I think this will be prefect for someone that have dry skin, but I have oily/sensitive skin and it feels good on me,, I dont mind the dewy look I like that effect I think it makes your skin look really healthy and smooth but in the end of the day I do feel bit oily so it wears the best if you use loose powder to prolong the BB cream and hold down the dewy look. I think the shade of this BB cream with be perfect for someone that are in the shade of NC20-25, I do feel that the color calms down after a while and it doesnt look that light after oxidation.

One thing I am in Love with this is that it have not made my skin breakout even when I have been wearing this in HOT/Humid weather~ :D matter fact I think it is really helping my skin improve in texture,, I cant come to that conclusion yet since its only been about 3 week since I started to use this BB cream but I have been in love with this BB cream within 3 days of using it~ I know when a item doesnt suit my skin with in 3-4 time of usage and so the more I use it the more I like it♥

At first when I opened the cream tint I thought "wow that is really Bright!" but when you blend into the skin it goes on like flushed baby pink and looks super natural~♥ very creamy and smooth just like the BB cream and its a decent size too so seems like it will be good for many usage~ you can build this cream to light for natural and heavy for baby pink cheek :)

 Ohh I forgot to put this on my lips in the vid but its goes on like creamy lip stick! The shade looks like a dupe for MAC's Lady Gaga lip stick!♥ ^__^

 Sorry for the blurry photos of Before & After....=__=;;

As you can see this BB cream goes on very NATURAL and covers almost all my flaws *darkness around my eyes, redness around my nose, even out my skin, sun spots* but I feel like its doesnt fully cover my dark circles so I still wear concealer over the BB cream since my dark circle can see be seen in person if its just the BB cream and so I like to have the dark circles completely covered since if they are covered completely it makes me look awake and not tired like how I always looks like.... :B

Overall:

I ADORE this BB Cream its better than the skin79's hot pink BB cream~ I feel like this covers really well, makes my skin really fresh and dewy looking which makes my skin looks HEALTHY and natural without that weird gray white overcast like how some other BB cream finishes♥ I love how it feels like I have nothing on and best of all it does not make me break out~

The Cream tint are a lovely bonus to this BB cream, it is great for on the go and creates natural glowy flushed cheeks that makes my skin look even more natural and goes on the lips really smooth and a great way to add nice pink tint to your lip♥

10/10

 I cant think of any negative about this BB cream,, I guess only downside for some people is that the shade since it seems to only come in this one shade, and it may be too dewy for some people so I do highly recommend to someone with drier skin,, if you dont like your BB cream to finish dewy then it may not be for you but my oily skin is really happy with this product♥

with flash:

you can really see how dewy this bb cream looks in person

ok I think that was it~ I hope I described it well enough so you got a nice idea of this BB cream :)

always the photo are originals/as is so just added watermarks,,  so it really do look like this when applied and always this was my 100% honest opinion♥

handmade jewelry, lioele review~

My mom made me beaded earrings! She uses swarovski crystals and sterling silver for all of her jewelry. She bead em together with nylon string~ They are so shinny and kawaii! she is really crafty! hehe

here is her etsy site

*photo with sunlight*

So I have been using Lioele bb cream for few days now, first time I applied this on I thought it was too light and has pink undertone that looked like it didnt match my skin tone. I did have to use concealer since it didnt seem to cover that well also it felt slightly heavy like I have mask on which I hate feeling but after wearing this for few hours that feeling seems to disappear. The tone seems to match my skin after awhile as well, but color is fair toned so I dont think I can wear this if I got a tan tho :P I didnt like it at first but after a while its not bad but I did have to blot my face once which I never have to do with my DHC Q10 foundation. Im gonna wear it for few weeks to see if its gonna benefit and improve my skin~

here is my doodle it happens when Im on the phone for a long time :3
