If there is one trend that has been totally hot in Asia right now...its BB creams.
BB stands for blemish balm and basically it was used for plastic surgery patients to help with their recovery.
These creams not only covered up scars and scabs, but were made with ingredients to help your skin be radiant and help with the treatment of blemishes.
Then they started to mass produce it and it caught on like wild fire!
I think the most popular BB creams are made by Missha. They were the first ones I heard about...and they were reviewed very highly. Not to mention....they are cheaper than other brands.
So what makes this BB cream more special than the others? Its in a compact form! Also, isn't the packaging gorgeous?!
Not only is it easier to carry around, but it also makes applying so much easier! I loved my regular Missha BB cream, but since it came in a tube it meant I had to apply it with my fingers or a brush.
Also, because its packed tightly, I think it provides better and buildable coverage.
Formula wise...I think its pretty much the same..just thicker.
The shades it comes in still is horrible. Only 3. The darkest color is just a tad too light even for me..but manageable.
Please note that BB creams oxidize and the color does darken as time passes. If it didn't...I wouldn't use it at all.
Other notable things:
-SPF50!
-non drying/non flaking
-good for sensitive skin
Sadly this is another product that's hard to track down. I think it is TOTALLY worth it though if you have skin light enough to match the 3 shades.
Cheers!
