Tweet Earlier in the year Auntie Candy went to Hong Kong and picked up some Vidi Vici goodies for me. Vidi Vici is a high end Korean cosmetic brand that I was pretty excited about. One of the items I asked her to get is their Brilliant BB Cream. This product has whitening properties, ‘wrinkle improvement’ and a SPF35. It was around £30 so not cheap at all – I am a huge fan of foundation so to get this product {Read More}

Tweet Mr C’s eyes tend to light up when I throw a new product in his direction although he is strictly hand creams and shampoo. I though this new BB cream for men from Lab Series was pretty cool. This BB Tinted Moisturiser has various benefits:

Lots of Western brands are now adding SPF to their tinted moisturisers and calling it a BB Cream launching their own versions of BB creams. In my opinion a true BB cream should be able to work as a foundation, concealer, SPF, moisturiser (if your skin isn’t too dry) and have skin healing properties (a lot of Asian brand offer a ‘whitening/brightening’ element too, whether this is your {Read More}

BB Creams can cover an array of uses – it varies from product to product, and brand to brand but basically, at a minimum these days, you should expect it to work as a: {Read More}
Tweet I bought two versions of the Hada Labo (who make amazing cheap-ish skincare) BB Moist, purely because I wanted to see what the Japanese interpretation of BB cream was and also because I love their skincare range.

SANA is one of my favourite Japanese brands! I figured I try a Japanese made BB product rather than a Korean one for once: Quzulan Gelo is supposed to be a 6 in 1 product!
Tweet From Skin79 comes The Oriental Shimmering BB Cream – now why did I buy this when I have pretty much given up on most BB creams? Because with it’s shimmery finish I figured this product would be an excellent highlighter! They say: The oriental tea blending ingredients including White Tea, Green Tea and Black Tea keeps skin brighter and glossier by offering comfort to skin.
