BB cream

Moi just did a Seoul flight and lemme tell you, the whole set of girls on my flight were going super "ga-ga" over BB cream.

So, What's BB cream?

From the webbie: The BB Cream, aka Blemish Balm, is *the* hottest beauty product in Asia right now. The product was originated in Germany and used by dermatologists to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery soothe and regenerate the skin.

Big companies then took the idea and turned it into a product widely available to the public. The new product is suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive and acne-prone skin.

*skin tone appeared more even with a radiant glow
*facial blemishes including their dark undereye circles looked less obvious
*control their excessive facial oil
*improved their overall skin texture overtime
*fade acne scars

After reading all that, my first reaction (like yours probably) was like
"Is this a miracle cream or what?"

Feeling kinda dubious, Moi and the rest of the girls head down to Myeongdong to hunt for this "so called" miracle cream.

One of the first shop to have their own range of BB cream, Hanskin.
(super expensive as well)
Their Top seller: HANSKIN SUPER MAGIC BB CREAM (53,000won or S$63)Alot of the crew use the CAVIAR GOLD BB CREAM (27,000 or S$32)Fortunately, Hanskin is very generous with their samples and the sales lady gave each of us a couple of samples to try.Walking along Myeongdong, moi truly understand the meaning of "BB cream is *the* hottest beauty product in Asia right now" Every shop has their own range of BB cream. From Faceshop, to Missha, to Skinfood. We were indecisive which BB cream is the best.

One of my Korean colleague recommended us the SKINFOOD ALOE VERA BB cream in shade 2 which moi bought for less than 10,000 or S$12.
(psst...heard it's being sold in Singapore for like S$38!!!!!...almost triple the price i got from Korea!!!)
I have just started using SKINFOOD BB cream a week ago and i cant understand what's the buzz about this BB cream. Mabbe it's still too early to see any results but BB cream just feel like, well, a normal foundation to moi. In fact, it gives my face an inherently pale look that constrast prominently with my slightly tanned neck.

And it doesnt control my excessive facial oil :(

Moi should give it another month before i chuck it out of the window..kekeke
