TIPS: THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BB CREAM AND CC CREAM



When the market was hit by BB cream, everyone went crazy with BB cream and now the market are hit by another tsunami of craze that is the CC cream. Unfortunately this CC cream comes with so many names such as cream control, cream correct, colour correcting and complete control. With this BB cream and CC cream, I am sure you are just as confuse on what are the differences between this two. Here is a little breakout between the two.



BB Cream-Blemish Balm focuses more on covering acne scarring and uneven skin tone caused by acne. The texture are slightly heavier than cc cream and are not waterproof. Besides, BB cream only has one colour which could cater to different skin tone.

CC Cream - Correct CC cream will have the colour change effect and complexion correct to create the radiant glow with the help of light diffusing particles in it. The cream usually changes the colour from white to light beige. 

The Control CC cream is for the brightening up and complexion care effect. Usually one can mix this type of CC cream with BB cream for the extra benefits.

On the other hand, most CC cream are waterproof but provide sheerer coverage. One can use them as makeup base. Besides, that most CC has few colour selection to cater to different to skin tone.

So, CC cream is not the same as BB cream or the upgraded version of BB cream.

REVIEW ON LOREAL LUCENT MAGIQUE BB SKIN LUMINATING BB CREAM

LOREAL LUCENT MAGIQUE BB SKIN LUMINATING BB CREAM

This is the first time i tried BB cream coming from Loreal.  Before that, i had heard many not so good review about this BB cream.  This BB cream claimed to self adjust to every skin tone which i of course do not believe it the moment i press the bb cream out of the tube.  The cream is pure white with tiny capsules like scrub.

It claimed to minimises pores, smoothen skin texture, covers spots, reduces the appearance of fine lines, even skin tone, luminous finish, 24 hours of hydration, all day comfort, light feel texture and spf 20+++.  It is suppose to make the skin glows from within, all day light feel and radiant complexion.

the swatches.  I have not blend it in circular mode.

The BB cream contains bb capsules that when activated will self adjust to every skin tone.  Personally, i tried this twice.  The first time, it was a total failure as i look totally white like a ghost and i had to apply another darker tone bb cream on top making me looking a little better but still white.  The mistake was i applied it like how i normally just apply any bb cream. Dot on the photo head and just swipe across.

The second time, i realise that it may have something to do with my application to turn the white beads into color close to my skin.  I have to apply it in circular method and break the capsules like a scrub with tiny beads into colour to our skin.  Keep going around and around in circular mode( like clockwise) until the colour turn from white to yellowish.  I am not sure how it will turn on other skin.  It turn into my skin colour from being white at first.  I didn't have breakout that day so i am not sure if it will cause me allergies.  It does illuminate the skin but not sure about oil control as my T-zone was a little oily after 8 hours.

So here is the bb cream on my face.  Sorry, nothing on my face except the bb cream.



Overall i think it is not bad except that there should be printed where the consumer are told how to apply the bb cream or i think most will apply BB cream the usual way instead of applying it in circular mode until the colour changes.

REVIEW ON OSLEE ROSEHIP BB CREAM HD FLAWLESS SPF 26 PA++


The BB cream smell of rose.  For me, the coverage is light.  It quite watery and leave a dewy effect on my skin.  I don't really like bb cream as they tend to stick to my specs and this is no exception.  It just stick to my specs and i have to clean my glasses so often.  After a few hours of application, the bb cream started to show dry patches on some part of my face which i do not like.

the swatches


It does cover a little of the redness but not all.

My light scars still can be seen even after few layers of bb cream.  Overall, i don't really like the bb cream.  The only thing i like is the smell and that the bb cream suits the colour of my skin.  I just don't like that it has a very light coverage.  If you do not have redness problem like i do and just need something light, it will suits you.  I prefer something with heavier coverage on the days i have "bad day" skin.

50ml for RM129.90.  Oslee products are made in Hong Kong

REVIEW ON BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++

BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++

Here is the 5g Biore BB  UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++.  It comes in form of cream.

Normally the bb cream i used before is more watery(for examples Maybelline clear smooth bb cream).  Biore bb cream is a bit thicker like a cream but really blend well with my skin.  It really feel like second skin once i apply it on my skin.  It just look so natural on me.  I don't even feel like i am wearing any BB or sunblock ^^.  It is not oily at all.  So, i don't have to worry about the bb cream disappearing from my face especially after few hours.
BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++

The colour really suits me well too as i am quite fair.  Some BB cream makes me look darker.  I don't even need to wait for it to set.  It is not sticky or greasy.  I guess it is waterproof as when i used tissue to blot, nothing came out which is good ^^.  As for whether it make my skin more even, cover dullness or brighten the skin, i am not sure since nobody seems to notice anything > < .

BIORE UV AQUA RICH WATERY BB SPF50+/PA+++
Sorry for the lighting.  i am not wearing blusher.  Both actually look natural > <

The coverage is quite light if use little but one can use a few more layer for better coverage or just dab in some concealer.  I would buy it again for the BB cream and also the sunblock since i need some coverage and also the sunblock when my skin is not that good.   I am lazy and having BB cream plus sunblock save me time for my morning skincare. I prefer the extra sleep.  Once good thing is it doesn't break me out.    I dislike anything that cause me clogged pores.  It is made in Japan ^^.  I am going to get it after i finished the sample.

Retailing at RM32.90.

For more information, please visit Biore Malaysia.  This is sample i got during their sample event from Biore Malaysia

REVIEW ON NUXE BRIGHTENING PROGRAM BB CREAM SPF 30 PA+++

NUXE BRIGHTENING PROGRAM BB CREAM SPF 30 PA+++
It claimed to : Unifies, diminishes the appearance of darkspots, beautifies, moisturizes and suitable for all skin types.  Ideal as a makeup base.


I had never heard of NUXE BB cream yet.  I heard that it will only be launching in Malaysia this month.  So, those getting this bag will be one of the first to try the BB cream.  Nuxe is a famous for the Huile prodigieuse  so i can't wait to just try this since i love the Huile Prodigieuse.


Here is the swatch of the bb cream.  Look really orange on my skin. =(
Personally i do not really like the smell.  It smell like some plastic even after several hours.  i guess because it is really organic that there isn't any fragrance added thus smelling like that.  However, if you are someone really into organic things maybe this is for you.



This is the photo of before and after.  The lighting is the same but my skin tone look really different right?


The orange colour just doesn't suit my light skin or it oxided on me =(  .  Nuxe BB cream provides medium coverage for my skin since i can still see the red pimples.  It does moisturise my skin and last on my skin for few hours.  It is waterproof but not sweat proof since when i blot, some of the bb cream came out.  As for oil control, i am not sure since i will blot with tissue even if i do not look into the mirror.

I think Nuxe bb cream is more suitable for those with tan skin compare to light skin like mine. > <  I just look darker with this BB cream.  I am not sure if they will come out with different colours but so far there is only one colour for everyone.

Overall, if not for the smell and it doesn't suit my skin tone, i would like it since it is organic?  I just couldn't accept the smell that makes me feel sickly each time i take a sniff at it =( .  Sorry but this is just my honest opinion.  Have you tried this  NUXE BRIGHTENING PROGRAM BB CREAM SPF 30 PA+++ before?

MAYBELLINE CLEAR SMOOTH BB CREAM



MAYBELLINE CLEAR SMOOTH BB CREAM

Price          :           RM15.90

Packaging  :           small enough to fit into bags (made in China)
Effect        :           
the bb cream does blend into my skin as nobody notice the difference when I was not wearing any bb cream.  It does cover up redness and pimples as well the sunburn look.  It is basically my saviour to cover up all those imperfection without the foundation look.  Besides, BB cream looks more natural than using loose powder.

Have a great day =)
