Update on Silkygirl BB Cream

Hey guys,



Here's an update for the Silkygirl BB Cream. Basically, I had it on for the whole day approximately 12 hours (unlike the previous time whereby I had it on for about 6 hours) - my face looks disgusting or should i say chalky at the moment. I have this feeling that my oily/combination skin had caused this BB Cream to react and be in the present state. Sincerely, I would not purchase this cream EVER! My face is beyond ghastly.


This picture will elaborate further:

Sidenote: Just so you guys know, the BB cream wears off easily - a simple rub would 'expose' your actual skin. I apologise for not informing you guys earlier. My bad for not taking a longer test run.

Anyhows, If you guys wish to try out GOOD and recommended BB Creams (I support BRTC BB Creams by the way), here's a webbie for you to grab FREE, I repleat, FREE samples!

Mac Cosmetic Prices

Hey Guys,

According to my study, the MAC Cosmetic Prices in the U.K have just recently increased. Thus, it has actually equalized with the prices in Singapore. (There's just a tinge bit of difference - a couple of cents that is.) Here's a short ranking chart of the Cheaper MAC Cosmetic Prices over the globe.

1. United States
2. Canada
3. Malaysia
4. United Kingdom
5. Singapore
6. France
7. Korea

My MAC hauling days in London are over :(

Anyhows, here's the link to my previous post if you wish to enquire about the MAC Cosmetic Prices in Singapore -

Silkygirl BB Cream

Apologies for not having updated in so long. I have been pretty busy with my assignments in school thus I haven't had the time to update. My Finance Module is really taking a toll on me. Anyhow, here's a new BB cream review. Apparently, the BB Cream craze has not died of yet- drug store brands are even coming up with their very own formula. I hereby present to you, the Silkygirl BB Cream endorsed by local Mediacorp artist Felicia Chin.

Silkygirl Magic BB Cream in Shade (02) Radiant

The Description

Swatch of the BB Cream

The Aftermath

Price: $15.90 (25ml tube) - There's a $2 discount at the moment so, I actually purchased it at $13.90

Available at: Guardian Pharmacies & Watson Stores

Coverage: Average but Buildable

Oil Control: If you've tried the Skinfood Aloe BB Cream, I would say that this BB Cream has better oil control over the related. It could be due to its texture but I must say that I did not even need to blot my skin.

Shade: Alike foundation. The Natural Shade (01) is a tinge bit darker that the Radiant (02) one. As I was confused with both the shades (Thinking along the Skinfood/Missha BB Cream Shade outline, I actually purchased the Radiant, which by the way was too light for my skin. :/ )

Texture: An easy to blend watery texture, however it dries up pretty quickly.

Finish: You get a matte powdery finish. (This could be the reason for the good oil control) There wouldn't be an slight dewy effect. Do note that application of 2 or more layers would make one look slightly caked up


Remarks: Thus far, I haven't had any breakouts from this product and I must say that I might re-purchase again IF the natural shade fits my skintone and if I have the cash to spill. If you have good skin and wouldn't need much of coverage, this BB Cream would be good for you. Oh yes, and this Magic BB Cream is actually manufactured in Thailand.

New Kawaii Treat!!!

For this week, Kawaii Tokyo is having ANOTHER PROMOTION!!! - 40% off their Brighten-Up Makeup Dissolver Series!!! The products from this selection are all Plant Derived which actually means low irritation would occur. They are all alcohol free; waterbased and have high cleansing power. Just so you guys know, skincare products which contain alcohol actually cause the skin to have a lower cell turn-over rate - acne scars would last longer and your skin would appear dull overtime. For the Makeup Dissolver series, they have actually 2 variations - The Promising Aqua and the Melting Dew. Further details will be listed below.

Promising Aqua (200ml)
Retail Price: $39
Discount Price: $23.40

The Promising Aqua is a makup remover WITHOUT the usage of water. Simply place a few drops of the product on a cotton pad and start swiping your makeup away. It's that easy! I definitely recommended for lazy people (Like me :D). The product leaves no trace of stickiness as well as skin irritation. It has a Geranium fragrance which refreshes and relax the skin. This is wayyyyy cool!

Melting Dew (150ml)
Retail Price: $36.00
Discount Price: $21.60

Next up, The Melting Dew Deep Cleansing Liquid. This Product has a Lavandar Scent. It penetrates deep into the skin to remove even the toughest and heaviest makeup. One really GREAT factor about this product would be - Moisture is STILL Retained deep within the skin. Notice how some makeup removers dry out the skin? (this even includes people with oily/combination skin) The skin would start flaking AND application of makeup would cause one to look hideous. I personally hate dry skin. Patchy makeup is a huge turn-off for all.

As usual, comment or email me if you wish to purchase these products at their offer prices - I'll then mail the coupon over. :D

Gowoonsesang BB Cream SPF30PA++ Review

Gowoonsesang BB Cream SPF30PA++

Main Gowoonsesang Website: http://www.gowoonsesang-eng.co.kr/eng/functional/bb.asp

Price: $43 (60ml tube)

Avaliable at: Sasa Stores

Coverage: Average but buildable..(I never use concealer when I use this BB Cream)

Oil Control: EXCELLENT! (I need not blot my face nor spray any facial mist for as long as 7 hours.)

Shade: It has a dark shade, but tends to brighten up after application. (I have fair-medium skin thus it worked well for me. I wouldn't recommend this BB cream to people with tanned skin.)

Texture: Thick texture, something similar to SkinFood's Aloe BB Cream.

Finish: You get a matte finish. (does not give you much of a dewy glow)

By the way, Sasa is presently having a discount for this BB Cream. (If i'm not wrong, the discount would be approximately 10-20%).

Another alternative: EBAY!!!

I purchased my tube off a trustable seller at $32.

Here's her link: http://shop.ebay.com.sg/merchant/catz2081

There are a gazillion more products thus do message me for details of the item/s you are looking for, and I would check with my supplier. I would publish the full list when I get a handful of interested parties.

Sidenote: My supplier still carries discontinued items, as well as limited edition items. (Present Limited Items Still in Stock - Eg. Mac Hello Kitty Eyeshadow Palettes, Mac Dame Edna Eye Shadow palettes, Mac Heatherette Trip Palettes, Mac Neo Sci Fi Eye Shadows ) I cannot guarantee if they still have it when you place your order thus please do so ASAP and I'll try my best to get them for you. All discontinued and LE items are whilst stocks last. Mac Refills are avaliable as well.

Sidenote 2: The reason for why these products are priced like such (to me, reasonably) would be because they are shelf pull items - meaning, there could be some shop ware on the packaging (JUST THE PACKAGING). The actual product is not affected. Some items might come unboxed.

Sidenote 3: Payments have to be sent to me via Bank Transfer before an order is placed. I would not allow any COD procedures as I am not benefiting from holding such sprees. (I am doing so due to 2 reasons - 1) I wish to assist people in purchasing what they want or have missed out at reasonable prices. I know how the feeling stings especially when you wish to purchase some product, but could not afford it at that moment, due to it being wayyyyyyyy out of your budget. 2) Overseas shipping rates can totally send a person to their grave earlier ( I would be one of them :)

REMEMBER GUYS, LET ME KNOW ASAP!!!!

BB Creams

Howdy peeps! As you all know, BB creams are presently raved about by many women out there -All thanks to Korean Dramas hitting our screens, everyone is dying to know the skincare line these Actresses. (I'm so jealous -their skin looks so fine - alike the texture of the tomato.) My take on their flawless look - BB Creams! Anyhows, BB creams are largely produced in countries like Taiwan and Korea ( so do stock up when you visit these countries! THEY ARE EXTREMELY CHEAP compared to the prices in Singapore!)

What is BB Cream?

BB Creams, also known as Blemish Balm Creams were used by dermatologist for their patients who have gone through surgery/laser treatments to speed up the healing of their skin. Aside from it being a skin regenerating cream, it also aids in concealing scars from the procedure as well as protect the skin( some BB creams contain SPF). Soon after, celebrities from Asian countries (mostly Korea) started using the BB Creams and an enormous craze was sparked.

Brands I Know Off In The Market:

BRTC, SkinFood, The Face Shop, Rojukiss, Gowoonsesang, Etude House, Legere, Lioele, BeautyCredit, Shills, Skin79 (These companies are from Korea or Taiwan)

Is it Suitable for ALL?

BB creams are safe for all Skin Types, be it dry, oily or acne prone.

Functions of BB creams:

Other than the properties of renewing , some BB creams assists in reducing fine lines! YES! say bye bye to wrinkles. It also aids in lifting your skin(not dramatic lifting - remember it's not surgery). Certain BB Creams have extremely good oil control. So, if you hate the oily face feel, what are you waiting for? BB creams are all tinted It provides coverage (from sheer to cakey (no, I'm just kidding. ) Coverage is build-able.) You would be able to conceal your acne-scars, dark circles and even out your skin tone (alike liquid foundation - but with BENEFICIAL SKIN-CARE PROPERTIES.)

How Do You Use it?

After your normal skin-care routine -

1. Cleanse


2. Tone


3. Moisturise


4. Sunblock (You may skip this step if your BB Cream contains SPF [but I wouldn't recommend it given Singapore's blazing sun)


5. BB Cream!!! (It could also be used as a Make-up Primer)
   
6. Make-Up

How Do You Apply it?
BB Creams are normally applied with the fingers. Simply squeeze out a small dollop, pat it onto your face, PAT! remember PAT and then spread it out evenly. If you wish to use a brush, You could use the MAC 129 or 150, tap it on and start swirling. (Any other powder brush would do - this is basically just a method.) Aside from the MAC 129/150, you could use the MAC 187. Stipple it on to get an airbrush effect...Once you are done, simply dust a layer or loose powder/mineral foundation to set the cream..

The Finish:
BB Creams give your skin a natural dewy glow. It's really pretty, and I personally love it! One word to describe it: sleek! You would not even look like you're wearing make-up. (This is dependent on the number of layers you apply onto your skin).
