BB creams

Hughjass

Its a sad day:( The Skin79 Orange has broken me out in those horrible red lumps that you can do nothing with, I loved the look this product gave me so I really am very sad about this, I'm guessing its the factor 50 in it but would welcome any other suggestions as to why this has happened, I'll either go back to the Maybelline one or buy the lighter skin version of the Loreal one I liked the other day, I've had it with Asian products, sad sad sad.

Oh no!!!! I'm so sorry you had a reaction to it, you were so happy with it initially! Is it definately the BB? That really sucks...not sure why it happened suddenly after you have been using it for.. what, a couple of weeks?

i have received my missha BB yesterday (impressed as it took a week to arrive from Korea :beer:). I ordered shade 23 which is the darkest of all the 3 shades.
It looked like my normal foundation shade so i was quite pleased about this as i was worried about being too pale.

When i tried it yesterday i found the cream quite thick in consistency, and gave me good coverage but at the same time felt that my skin could "breath".
I was a tad disappointed because its not all that different from my normal foundation, although i will continue to use the cream.

I'm afraid so as its the only new product I am using, a couple of weeks is the normal time it takes for something to let me know there is a problem, having such fickle skin is very difficult, I can happily use a product for a long time and then all of a sudden my skin hates it, the flip side to this is that its quite possible my skin will tolerate this product at a later date - ho hum:)

FuzzyDuck I'm glad you are happy with Holika holika too! I agree with everything you said in your helpful review, its quite impressive isn't it?

Hughjass (hehe) that must be really frustrating for you...just when you find a product you like you have to move on to something else! Hope you do find you can use it later after spending out on the stuff and liking it!

Rainbowfairydust interesting to read about Missha, its a shame it doesn't seem that different to your normal foundation. But glad you've found one good enough to keep using, it would be great if you could post a pic of #23 on your skin tone *hint hint* :P

I've got three samples to try out and my OH is away for the weekend...gonna have some fun experimenting! Gosh I never imagined myself actually enjoying girlie foundation stuff

Just wanted to say that I decided to try the new Garnier oil-free and I'm quite happy with it! It has a very good coverage and a completely matt finish.

I went for the Medium shade , which is a bit light for me now as I'm quite tanned, but I think it's going to be good for winter when I'm pale.

SPF is 20, which is not brillant but ok for winter (and also for this wonderful summer we are having this yer..).

Just received my Holika Holika Clearing BB cream from Sing-Sing-Girl along with two free samples

Is this a safe seller. How long did the items take to be delivered. Did you pay extra for tracking etc. Am impressed with the prices!

I have used Sing-sing-girl and found the products to be genuine and also fresh. I think it took about 2 weeks to arrive including weekends! I must admit to being a little wary as her prices are lower than other sellers I have used but it all turned out ok

Yea of course i will. I am quite fair skinned and tend to choose the lighter shades foundation wise so took a chance on choosing the darkest shade. (based on what i read on the net) . I have since used the cream and i do still like it but i find it quite hard to rub in because of the consistency,
Will take some pics tomorrow along with my normal foundation to compare - :cool:

I also bought this one in the same shade and i must say i am very impressed! I would go to say it is even better than my regular revlon colorstay foundation. It gives me a totally flawless look and makes my skin look really luminous, the only possible down side is that my face did get that oily look but that was after some hours of wearing it. Also both my sisters saw how good it was and one went on the net straight away and order the same one:) and my other sister said she will have to get some and try it out, so i do think it is better and i will be buying it in the future once this one runs out.


Also i've seen bb creams on ebay (korean) that are for oily skin, do these work? And i've seen one's in darker shades as i have olive skin, i am tempted to buy these too How do all the other bb creams like holika and the hot pink one compare to the missha one? I think this is going to become a bit of an addiction:rotfl:
