Skin79 Min Set Review

Its been a long time coming but I finally finished using my Skin79 mini set of BB creams.

I bought these a while back, and mentioned them in this POST.

&

Here's the corresponding post!

Lets start with the fist one I used which was the bright pink BB Cream.

Ultimately this was my favourite of them all.

It has a medium thick consistency and covers pores and redness well. It glides on to the skin and there's no need to use loads.

 A little goes a long way. 

My favourite way to apply was dabbing it on with my fingers.

The colour was a little greyer than I was used to and I can say that for all of them, but the colour match was amazing for me! I was really surprised because it only comes in one shade.

 Although I found if I put too much on I would look a little pale.

This was long wearing and kept my oils at bay while leaving my skin feeling moisturised all day long.

LOVE IT!

My second BB was the Diamond Pearl Luminous silver tube.

This had a much thinner consistency and was full with shimmery good-ness. 

If you like that sort of thing.

It didn't cover pores and redness very well and I found it didn't blend all that great either.

Wearability is interesting!

Like I said it has a lot of shimmer in it, and I mean a butt load.

Remember Edward Cullen's sparkles?

[mm well hello! my face was like this!]

Yeah more sparkly than him!

My boyfriend did ask me one day why my face was so sparkly!

The upside you do look luminous!

Moving on to the VIP Gold BB.

I found this to be very similar to the Pink BB in both consistency and colour matching.

I would say it was slightly more moisturising than the pink one and would be better for those with dry skin.

It also has a long wear time to it.

And finally the pale pink Diamond Collection BB.

No shimmer in this one!

Again I found this similar to the bright pink and gold BB's but with an ever so slightly thinner consistency.

Coverage was good but not as amazing as the bright pink and gold. Feels very moisturing and actually seemed to have a slight scent to it unlike the others!

Like I said at the beginning the Super+ BB (BrightPink) was my favourite of them all and I have plans to make a full sized purchase in the future :)

Have you ever used any Skin79 BB's - What was your favourite?

Mixed Bag Favourites

Adorkable by Sarra Manning | Lana Del Rey-Born to Die | Working Stiff by Rachel Caine | 2 Weeks Notice by Rachel Cain | Imagine Dragons-Night Visions | Taylor Swift-Red | Blogilates with Cassey Ho

The other's are self explanatory but just a quick chat about Blogilates.

Earlier this summer I decided now was the time to get in shape, I found Cassey on youtube by watching Bubzbeauty. Cassey Ho is incredible! She is so motivating, sunny and just plain awesome!

All her videos you can do in the comfort of your own home, with little to no equipment. She offers monthly workout calenders (for free!) food plans & recipes!

I've always been the sort of person who starts working out for a few months then looses interest then stops. But thanks to the insane motivation Cassey offers I just couldn't not stop! My body is slowly changing from a skinny frame with wobbly thighs (yup that's where all my fat ends up!) to little Miss Muscle! But not in that scary she muscle way! haha

So if you want to get in shape but don't want to join a gym check out Blogilates! I garentee you'll be glad you did!

Package From Korea #1 ~Skin79 Miniature Set~

Hola! & Happy Monday!

So a week ago maybe more I was shopping around for a BB Cream (Blemish/Beblesh Balm), my first proper BB Cream. I do realise I'm a tad late on the BB Band-Wagon as we have now moved on to CC Cream (Colour Correct) and even DD Creams (Dynamic Do-all). But hey! What can I say!

So knowing very little about what were the best ones and what I should be looking for in my BB cream I took to reading and watching reviews on the best ones and I learned one thing, Western BB Creams seem to be glorified Tinted Moisturisers. ~Now don't quote me on that because like I said I haven't used very many or hardly any, so I can't really form an opinion. The one I have tried did remind me of a tinted moisturiser however - Collections BB Secrets - and yeah I was not totally impressed by this but I'll get back to that a bit later!

So one of the main BB Creams that kept cropping up was by Skin79 a Korean brand, and if there is one think I've learned while watching youtube videos and reading reviews is that Korea know their beauty. All I hear are wonderful things about Korean beauty products. So taking to ebay I decided to purchase (from a Korean seller) a BB Miniature Set by Skin79 ~ £4.51, to give some of there best BB's a go and decide if I wanted to buy a full sized one. 

So in my little box I have:

VIP Gold Collection: Super+ Beblesh Balm with Whitening, UV Protecting SPF 25 PA++ & Wrinkle Improvement (the gold one)

Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Function with Whitening, UV Protecting SPF 25 PA++ & Wrinkle Improvement (the pink one)

BB Diamond Collection - The Prestige BB Cream (the light pink one)

&

BB Diamond Collection - Pearl Luminous Beblesh Balm (the silver one)

They are all 5g tubes some I'm sure I'll get through them quickly. I'll try do do individual reviews of each one as I use them with swatches etc...or maybe one post, who knows!

Either way I'm super excited about giving these ago. I'll also do a short review on Collection's BB Secrets.

So until next time Ciao!
