Skin79 The Oriental Gold BB Cream

  What It Claims


Whitening
Wrinkle Improvement
UV Interception
SPF25 PA++


Container

The packaging is very pretty. The container looks pretty big, but it only contains 40g product.

It comes with a cute lip & cheek color and a mirror which is inside of the cap. It's easy to use which is super convenient for me since I travel a lot and usually don't have much time to get ready before work.

The pump prevents wastage of the product, and one pump is enough to cover your face completely.
 

Color 

This BB Cream is very light and has a golden/yellow tone to is. It blends really well and matches perfectly with my yellow undertone and doesn't make my face look darker.

The lip and cheek color is in a nice rosy pink color, but turns out in a very soft pink once applied and blended. The color is really pretty and vibrant, but it still looks very natural.

  

Coverage 

Medium but buildable coverage. Evens out my skintone and covers redness perfectly and smoothes out pores. My dark circles and some red spots are still slightly visible after 1 layer, but after a second layer and some powder they're almost invisible.

  
My skin has been looking awful lately, but you can clearly see the huge difference after just one layer!

  

Fragrance 

The fragrance is pretty strong, but not too overwhelming. I'm not too found of Makeup with a strong scent, but it's not that bad.

Consistency 

The consistency is very thick, but it applies smoothly and doesn't feel heavy once applied on the face.

The lip and cheek color is vert smooth and creamy, pretty much like a lip balm.

Oil-Control 

This product is supposed to have good oil-control, but I'm actually very disappointed with it. It does look very nice for a couple of hours, but it started to wear off in areas that usually turn out to be oily, like on my nose and around my nose. I guess it might work for some people, but definitely not for me.

Finish 

This BB Cream has a very dewy finish which I don't like at all. I already have oily skin, so I think dewy finishes just makes my face look really greasy and not attractive at all. It looks great after setting it with powder though, and since I always apply powder anyways I can't really complain. I just wouldn't want to use this BB Cream alone, without setting it with powder.

Overall 

The main reason why I like this BB Cream is because it matches so well with my skintone, has good coverage which makes my skin look really nice for the first couple of hours of wearing it. I also really like the lip color and mirror in the cap; It's really cute and useful. The only downside is probably that it wears off in patches after a while, and some might have a hard time with the strong scent. Despite this I must say that this is one of the best BB creams I have tried!

New Nails - Pink & Sparkling

Thursday, July 11, 2013


Made myself a new pair of gel nails! I chose to go with an old design, but I made them a bit longer and added some sparkles this time! It's pretty simple but I still like it a lot.

I've been practicing a lot with gel nails, and I'm starting to get pretty comfortable with this method. I might try to go with something more dramatic next time!

Design 

I usually have a hard time liking "special" designs when it comes to circle lenses, but I actually really like this one! It's very pretty and doesn't stand out too much in real life.

Color 

These lenses have a nice and warm brown tone which blends really well with my natural eye color. I love brown lenses with a more reddish town rather than yellow.

Enlargement 

The enlarging effect is amazing! Even though I've used 15.0 lenses before, these just seem to be extremely big and make my eyes look huge!

Comfort 

These are actually very comfortable despite the large diameter. I could wear them for almost a whole day without even feeling that I was wearing lenses.

Verdict

I honestly didn't expect that I would like them this much, but it turns out that I absolutely love them! The design and color is really pretty without looking too obvious, and they blend perfectly with my natural iris. They give me a dolly look and have also given me the most enlarging effect out of all the lenses I've tried! I still think that they're great for everyday use too!
