Hello everyone!
It's been a while I posted something. I just had a very stressful time with loads of tests and presentations at school, but now finally everything is over, the last test of this school year is written and everybody is slowly preparing themselves for the summer break which is at the end of July...
But before that I will have to prepare for the "study trip" to Paris! I'm so excited!!! Aaand, it's already in 2 weeks! I just realized how the time flies... haha
And perfect for Canada Day I have finished this blogpost which sadly doesn't really have something do to with Canada, but well okay... :)
So, in today's post I will show you my two BB creams I discovered somewhen around last year. They are my first Asian make-up products, and the only BB creams that I really like to use.
Actually, it was my mom who found them online and recommended me these Japanese and Korean products which really fit my skin tone and now I totally love them! :)

So, the first one I got is from Japan:
It's the
CANMAKE Perfect Serum BB Cream in shade #02 Natural.
Product description:
"The BB cream born from beauty serum ☆
You can care for your skin just by applying it. Contains 21 types of beautifying ingredients.
Natural, yet with superb coverage ♥
SPF50 & PA+++, with a formulation that's gentle on your skin ♥
A skincare product that reduces the effect of the sun's rays and acts as a foundation with sheer coverage!"

It offers a very high UV protection of SPF50 & PA+++, which I think is very good for sunny days because I personally like to use high sun protection for my face, but I don't like to use sunscreen and foundation at the same time because the sunscreen tends to get sticky and uncomfortable. So this mulitpurpose cream is just perfect!
Okay, this BB cream has a quite yellowish shade that actually suits my skin tone in summer after getting a slight tan, haha. I'm actually a quite pale person. But the cream blends in the right adjustment!
CANMAKE promises 8 effects from this BB cream:
Beauty lotion, Beauty serum, Face-pack, Make-up base, Sunscreen, Concealer, Foundation, Time-Saving
The consistency is very creamy, a little bit thick and very pigmented, which actually makes it cover perfectly. Sometimes I just use it as a concealer, seriously awesome for sleepless nights and dark under-eye circles! It also gives a quite natural look, but if you have pale skin, maybe you should try out the light shade, which might suit your skin tone. I only use this in summer, otherwise it would be too yellow-orange for me.
Even though it is rather thick, the cream is not that easy to apply, but feels soft while moisturizing the face.
But what I have to say is that this BB cream lacks oil control. After applying it does dry, but still gives a really greasy look. For this, I recommend to set it with powder after putting on this cream, and it will stay for hours! After some time you would even forget you have it on. Also, I can go a day without having to reapply it.
That's what I really like about this CANMAKE Perfect Serum BB Cream! :)

As THE FACE SHOP promises, it does give a perfect cover for fine skin flaws, I'm not sure about acne scars though since I never had severe ones. But it covers redness, dark circles and spots - full coverage for my skin.
The best about this BB cream:
It's the perfect shade for my pale skin tone. Unless the other yellowish cream, this one has a rather grey under-tone.
As weird and strange as it sounds, the greyish shade actually gives you a light, natural and dewy look.
Honestly, at first I thought this shade is still too bright for me, because when I applied it on my face, I kinda looked like a ghost. Really pale, more like white. And I thought this was totally the wrong BB cream. But no worries! After a time a short time, the cream blends in perfectly!
The consistency is not as thick as the CANMAKE BB Cream, but still creamy. So it's actually really easy to apply. The oil control is in my opinion much better than the other one, still I'd like to set it with powder to avoid this too glowy look.
The Korean BB cream also doesn't feel sticky at all, but makes the skin feel really soft and provides great moisture for drier skin. It has a matte finish which makes my skin look more natural. Also, it’s perfect for everyday use, because it lasts longer on the face. I don’t need to reapply every now and then.
Compared to the Japanese BB cream, this one has a lower SPF, I still use it in summer, but mostly in other seasons, when my skin doesn't have the sun tan. What I like most about this Korean BB cream, it that it doesn't get cakey or make the face like it would "melt away". After about 10-15 minutes it oxides pretty well and adjusts your sking perfectly. Really a magic cover! :)

All in all, both BB creams are provide great coverage and create a smooth and natural look.They can be used as make-up base, foundation and as mentioned above, I also use them as a concealer.
With their natural ingredients they keep the skin healthy and youthful.
So you don't need to worry about using BB cream everyday. One of the most remarkable effects is that it doesn't really harm the skin, but repairs your skin's conidtion, which is absolutely awesome! :)
Just make sure you use the right one for your skin tone, and always clean your face before you go to bed, otherwise the residues of the BB cream might clog your pores and irritate your skin.
I love BB creams for their multifunctions! All in one, haha.
What do you think about BB creams? What brands do you use? Please feel free to comment! :)
I am currently trying out the Clinique CC Cream, maybe a new review will come soon!
Now, let's celebrate together!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
