LIOELE + TONYMOLY: Water Drop BB, Expert 3D Collagen BB Cream,ExpertTriple BB cream

The BB cream phenomenon had long since sweep Asian women off their feet. Recently, this wave is starting to penetrate into the rest of the world. However, there are a wide selection of BB cream some with very different properties and effects. It is important to choose the BB cream that fits you the best. 

BB Cream Introduction and Difference with Foundation:
For those of you who are not familiar with BB cream, BB cream (Blemish Balm) was initially use by a German dermotologist " to protect skin after laser procedures and surgery, while also providing light coverage" (Source from Wikipedia). BB cream is most know for it's multi-purpose properties. most BB cream act as a sunblock, slight skin care, foundation, base/ primer.

BB cream is different from foundation. Unlike foundation that stays as one colour, BB cream adjusts to your skin colour after application on your skin. (Of course, within a certain range). This makes BB cream more natural and BB cream is also more creamy in texture which makes application more smooth and creamy than foundation. BB cream is less prone to dryness and has skin-benefiting properties. However, it is important to note that BB cream cannot be use as a skin care product.

I love BB cream so much that I ditched foundation almost completely. However, foundation is also a good makeup that shouldn't be completely substituted by BB cream. But I do find BB cream better for everyday use. =) If you can only choose to have one makeup, BB cream is something I can't live without.

1. LIOELE Water Drop BB (SPF 27 Pa ++):  <3

This BB cream is lightweight and moisturizing. It has very high water content that locks moisture in your skin. Because it is extremely light to a point that you forgot you have BB cream on, it has little to no coverage. This is good for people that already have fair skin and wants to enhance their skin tone and make it more luminous. But don't expect this BB cream to cover any imperfections. My mom doesn't care much about coverage and hates stickiness; she loves this product. 

Pros: lightweight, extremely moisturizing, not sticky.

Cons: little coverage

4/5

2. TONYMOLY Expert 3D Collagen BB cream (SPF 40 PA +++, 50mL) :  <3

This BB cream contains collagen and golden peptide and have anti-wrinkle and whitening properties. I really LOVE this BB cream because it has good coverage, and evens out your skin tone. It smooths out easily. It is a bit thick in texture, which makes it a bit sticky in warmer countries but perfect in dryer places like Edmonton. I'm more in favor of good coverage BB cream because I have bad acne spots, uneven skin tone..... basically skin problems are my main concern. That's why I can't live without BB cream XD

Pros: Excellent Coverage, Smooth and Creamy, High SPF, Doesn't dry out skin, Evens out skin tone. 

Cons: Thick, a bit sticky.

Rating: 4.5/5

3. TONYMOLY Expert Triple Blemish Balm Cream (SPF 45 PA +++, 50 mL):   <3
Product Description: Protection against UVB rays, and the addition of PA+++ indicates optimal protection against UVA rays that may lead to premature signs of aging, dark spots, and wrinkles.

I again LOVE this product because of the coverage. This BB cream is alot like the one above. Smooth, excellent coverage, evens out your skin tone, smooths out easily with creamy texture, a bit thick but perfect for dryer countries, it has whitening properties as well. This BB cream has a lighter shade than the one above. I find that this may have more whitening properties than the one above even if they both claim to be whitening.

Pros: Excellent Coverage, creamy, high SPF, evens out skin tone, doesn't dry out skin, whitening.

Cons: Thick, a bit sticky.

Rating: 4.5/5

Left: Expert 3D Collagen   Right:Expert Triple Blemish Balm Cream (light)

I don't like the light version as much. It isn't as thick but finishes sticky and it doesn't have good absorption to make the BB cream feels like it is part of the skin, as if nothing is there. (if you know what mean? I don't know the term >< lol)  It does still have good coverage =) I still use it but won't purchase it again and don't recommend it to you. The original version is better =)

Pros: 

-Good Coverage

Cons:
-Sticky

-Not breathable
