Swatches of my BB creams to accompany my latest video :)

L to R: Lioele, Missha, L'egere


Lioele, Missha, L'egere

I really wanted to love BB creams....but unfortunately didn't. They just dont work with my skin and gave me what was literally the worst acne I have ever had in my life. That being said I am in the MINORITY and most people really enjoy these.

Quick Run Through:
L'egere- around 20
Pro: AMAZING Oil control, darker shade, nice natural color (it looks SUPER dark in the tube, but dont be afraid it looks nice on ^^)
Con: Super thick and difficult to spread, obnoxious to get your hands on, doesnt list the spf and is obnoxiously vague on the product itself in concern to purpose etc

Lioele Water Drop BB Cream- around 16-20
Pro: Easier to spread...kind of luminous looking...or maybe its cause its too freaking light haha
Con: REALLY light...it looked mask like on me and im NC20...not enough of a yellow tint for me too (it looks more yellow on my hand than it does on my face), got really oily very quickly

Missha Signature BB Cream #23- Around 40 dollars
Pro: VERY light, super easy to spread, more moisturizing than the other two, very nice natural finish, claims to be of higher quality and natural ingredients than perfect cover
Con: Some people may think its runny, expensive

I go more in depth in my video, so please watch ^_^ thanks

omgshh! i have the same reaction to bbcreams. after trying and trying some more, i finally decided to throw in the towel.
it made my cheeks break out so badly >< i thought i was the only one so i started googling bbcream allergic reactions and no one had the same encounter -_- lol

I haven't watched your video yet, but if you are willing to try one more bb cream might i recommend a Japanese one called NANOCE. They started selling them at marukai Japanese markets. The color is better than the Korean grayish tone bb creams and a little more thinner. Also a taiwan brand Dr. Wu also has nice bb creams. So ya, just if you wanted to give it another go. But I understand not wanting to after getting reactions from other bb creams.

Thank you Jackie for sharing this review with everyone. I think it's really helpful!
BTW, I can't believe it costs 46 bucks for missha bb cream according to its official website, it's like $24 in Taiwan ==''

Not sure, but I bought the Missha one a week ago. I didn't really like the scent. It seemed strong. I really like the Lancome liquid foundation :) Just going to stick with that. And I might try out the Mac's foundation you used in your routine, because it looks really lightweight and I want something natural and not heavy.
