SUMMER BB Cream

Hello my little beauty bugs! I have recently found a BB cream that gives a healthy look to your skin and will be suitable for this hot and humid weather. It is the Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion SPF 50+ PA +++, and it costs around 1,500 baht. In the box, you will get the product itself (with 15g.), a puff to apply and an extra refill, which I find it to be convenient because you would not have to go through the hassle of finding or buying a whole knew compact once you run out. Plus, it is a very environment friendly product since the only thing you are actually replacing is the blue part within the compact.

A picture of all the products you should be getting when you purchase. 

The color that I am using is No.13 True Beige. This shade will match people that have a shade NC 25 in MAC foundation. According to the sales in Emporium, this is the latest shade that is available in Thailand. There are around five to six shades displayed at the counter, but at Emporium, the sales said there was only a few shades left. BUT, before you run off going to the store, read this review in case there are any valuable information and please try the testers at the counters (that is what they are for). 

The color I am using at the moment.

This is a new concept of whitening the skin, providing sunscreen of SPF 50+ PA+++, having sweat-proof properties and soothing from Laneige where the BB cream is soaked into the sponge inside the compact. The BB cream has a brightening and clear whitening effect on the skin and with the SPF 50+ PA +++ the UV rays will be blocked which prevents the skin from direct damage from the sunlight. It is suitable for all skin types. The rubbery/elastic cushion will hold up the makeup barrier that could usually be easily break down by the sweat and sebum, thus giving a long-lasting makeup effect with just one layer of application.

APPLICATION:

AFTER- After buffing and blending the BB cream onto my skin, I feel it did brighten my skin color a little bit and covers some of my redness around my cheek area, but since it is not a full coverage foundation, it does not cover up all my redness and the under eye dark circles. I would recommend to put concealers to those specific areas.Due to the lightness of the cream, it is wearable daily. Also, the sponge puff allows me to blend the cream easy. I could see why many of my Asian peers would rave about this because of the whitening and brightening effect it gives off on your face. Although there were some complaints from some of my peers who have oily skin, but since I have dry to combination skin, thus this BB creams does not make my face shinny, instead, it makes my face look dewy and glow-y. I could suggest those with oily skin to apply an oil free primer with a thin layer of the BB cream and set with a powder. I am definitely loving the BB cream!!!

This is available in most department stores in Thailand. I am not sure if they are available in every country, or if there is an online website that you could purchase world-wide. It is definitely cheaper to buy in Korea. If any of you know a website that you could purchase this world-wide, please leave a comment on this post for other readers.
