Makeup Review: FACEit Power Perfection BB Cream

Hi guys!

I'm back with a brand new review video for you makeup lovers out there. I'm reviewing a BB cream I bought from the korean makeup shop: The Face Shop and I absolutely love this BB cream!

FACEit
Power Perfection BB Cream
SPF37/PA++
02 Natural Beige
(around $38.00USD)

Claims to improve skin problems, including bagginess, roughness and dryness.

Reenergizes the skin through power lifting, power moisturizing and power correction effects. Wrinkle improvement, whitening, sunscreen. Contains omega -3 and the Vita-skin complex.

Why I bought it:

I was looking for a BB cream that doesn't dry out my skin but at the same time not feel like it's suffocating it. I wanted the right amount of moisture and coverage from the BB cream.

The Product:

This BB cream comes in two shades: 01 (Light Beige) and 02 (Natural Beige). I bought mine in Natural Beige. 

Here's my video review (don't forget to like & subscribe!)

The Verdict: I feel like this BB cream holds true to what it claims to do to your skin. Upon application, It already starts to hide my imperfections (fine lines, blemishes, uneven skin tone). There's no unpleasant smell either. It's pretty thick and a little really really does go a long way. My skin doesn't feel oily but neither does it dry out. It actually gives my skin that healthy dewy look. I also have dry patches on my face and it doesn't aggravate it at all. 
Price:✦✦✦✧✧ (It's a bit pricey, but that's to be expected from a good asian BB cream)
Coverage:✦✦✦✦✦ (I gave it a perfect score because it does cover VERY well. )
Application:✦✦✦✦✦ (Easy application)
Fragrance:✦✦✦✦✧ (Non-fragrant but still has that "makeup smell" to it. Very tolerable)

review: Missha Perfect Cover B.B. Cream

Missha 

Perfect Cover B.B. Cream

SPF40 PA+++

NO.23

（¥2150）

"MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B. Cream offers a novel skincare concept with B.B. cream which lightens skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability and prevents skin-aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties" (as it states on the product package)

--- WOW! Really? What more could you ask for?

Why I bought it:

During the summer my skin started acting up ESPECIALLY on my face. It was the worst time EVER, to the point where I cried myself to sleep every night. I'm all healed now and I'll save my skin-disaster story for another post. 

My skin was red, itchy and very flaky. I know I probably shouldn't have been using makeup on my face that time anyway but I was desperate to cover up the redness. I've read reviews on how this miracle BB cream covers redness and also moisturizes and stays moisturized throughout the day. Some people even claimed it healed their skin. Desperately seeking some kind of makeup cure, I bought it.

The product:


This product comes in 4 shades. No. 13 (milky beige),  21 (light beige), 23 (natural beige), and 31 (golden beige).  I got mine in No. 23. At the store though,  I only saw No. 21 & 23.

It comes in a pump tube which I like.

⓵ When product comes out, it's just little bit. But that bit actually goes a long way.
⓶ When you first spread the product out,
it turns into a grayish tone but soon afterwards blends into the skin tone.
⓷ It does blend well though!

The verdict:

When i tried it at the store I was sold but when I tried it on the next morning I realized it was a bit too heavy for me and the florally fragrance that I thought was nice and light smelling was a bit too strong for me.

This is just me however. I did like how it blended well with my skin tone but as for coverage, it was like other BB creams I have tried in the past.  Did it cover up my redness? Yeah, it did a little but all in all I honestly would rather stick to Maybelline's BB Mineral Mousse (my review on it here).

I bought this product during the summer time and I've only used it a couple of times. I am planning on trying this product out longer after my Maybelline BB Mineral Mousse runs out. ~

Price:✦✦✦✧✧ 
                   (Price isn't TOO bad, but I think the price could be brought down a bit. I'm guessing it's the brand.)

Coverage:✦✦✦✦✧
                    (Nothing special, but it still covers well)

Application:✦✦✦✦✧
                    (Goes on smoothly it's just pretty thick)
Fragrance:✦✦✦✧✧　
                    (I think it would be better if it was non-fragrant. It's not a bad smell but it's a bit too strong for my taste.)

If anyone has tried this product I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! 

Did this BB cream work well for you? 

Did you have the same problems as me?

If there are any other questions or you'd like to hear my thoughts on anything else about this product, feel free to ask!


UPDATE (02/08/2012)
So I gave this BB cream another chance! And I have to say I've grown to like it. The floral scent doesn't bother as much and actually, a little bit of this product goes a long way. I do start off with a primer before putting this product on. I also found that this goes on smoother (for me) when applied using my fingers rather than a brush or a sponge. 

review: MAYBELLINE PURE BB MINERAL MOUSSE

MAYBELLINE PURE BB MINERAL MOUSSE (spf30)

Ultra Light Texture

about ¥1680

Quite recently, a lot of hair dyes in Japan are turning into foam dyes to make it easier and less messy to dye your hair. I guess the foam craze caught on with makeup as well. Maybelline came out with a BB mousse recently and it's been getting a lot of attention. BB (blemish balm) creams are generally "healthier" to use for your skin rather than regular liquid foundations that can clog your pores. 

Why I bought it:

Aside from seeing this product being advertised everywhere with a number one ranking, possibly being a makeup revolution and it being sold out at every drug store I go to, I decided to buy it because the liquid foundation I was using at the time wasn't agreeing with my skin. I've used BB cream before and my skin seems to do better with it. So seeing all the pros that this new BB cream had to offer, I had to try it. The weather in Japan (especially in Kyoto) is very intense and right now we're in the middle of summer so I wanted a foundation that will at least let my skin breathe a little.

The product:

I was really surprised when I first tried it. It was definitely something new! The can's nozzle was basically like a mousse-can nozzle. Don't let the moussy texture fool you, it looks very light and airy but a little bit of it goes a long way. At the drugstore I only saw one tone (Ultra Light Texture). I don't consider myself light skinned but this BB cream eventually blends well into your skin tone. 

The verdict:

The way it comes out light and airy is exactly the way it feels on your skin. It feels really natural and so far I've sweated in it, wiped my face, worn it for hours and my skin faired pretty well with it! It doesn't smudge onto clothes either which is a major plus. The only con (for now) is that I think I still have to master the amount of mousse I need for perfect coverage but I know I'll be repurchasing this product again!
