[Sample Impression] SIIAR en SIIAR BB Cream


I got a sample of this BB cream from a friend in Japan. Its a SPF 15 bb cream that brighten, nutritious, moisturize, sebum control, and is waterproof. The texture is like foundation makeup, but the color is off for my skin. Its darker and pink-ish. Its very noticeable that my face is a different shade than the rest of me, haha. Unfortunately this seems to be the only shade.
Right side is BB cream and left side is clean skin. Photo didn't really catch how much darker the BB cream was on my skin.

Its not bad. It has a faint smell to it, but I'm not sure how to describe it. Its not that pleasant, but since its faint I hardly notice it. The coverage is not bad, and it does a pretty good job. It has a medium coverage overall. It minimized most of my pores, diminishes the look of some of my dark spots, and evened out my skin tone. It feels really lightweight when it dries up too so its quite comfortable. Definitely better than the Skin79 bb cream I tried.

Since I can't seem to find a store that even sells this I won't recommend it. I think it might be a drugstore type brand though. Definitely something I would keep an eye out for.

Skin79 Super+ BB Triple Functions cream


My first Korean brand BB cream! Bought this off Amazon and although I can't say for sure, but so far its seems to be authentic. Skin 79 is one of the common Korean brand BB and CC cream makers. Best recognized with the brightly colored cylinder packaging. They have many different kinds of creams, but there is a US site for Skin 79 so if you want to learn more please check their site out.

I chose the orange BB cream since I wanted to prevent anymore age spots since I have many which means the spf moisturizers I've been using weren't doing a good enough job. Since its summer I needed sun protection the most to prevent anymore freckles. The bb cream has SPF 50 PA+++ which is the highest sun protection out of the other Skin 79 bb creams. Maybe its a bit too much? Despite it being listed as light beige it is so light on my skin! It has no yellow tint so it gives that white cast look. Might to good for those who want that porcelain doll look? A little goes a long way so you don't need very much to cover your face and neck. I advise using a little since anymore than than can look bad if the shade doesn't match your skin. It blends better to your skin tone when you pat it on your face with your fingers than rubbing it or with a brush. It goes on a little dryly and has a matte finish. Be sure to moisturize well and exfoliate before using this as it can look a bit chalky. Also it balls up quite a bit. It be better to use a primer to minimize these issues. Its has a light chemical scent, but with a heavy whiff of it it gives me a bit of a headache. The smell does die down a lot after the first use.

It has nice coverage and totally makes my blackhead riddled nose area look flawless. Its very light on the skin that I don't even feel it on. Despite the shade being lighter than my skin it still looks natural. It effortlessly neutralized redness and other darker areas of my face. Not to say it conceals acne scars or dark age spots though. Also this doesn't rub off easily when you use napkins either! So far its been keeping my face matte through out the day, and I didn't even use powder. I will update this again to see how it performs during colder seasons.

Not sure how many fl oz of product there is as it only says 40 grams for the weight. The bottle packaging is nice and it stands as 3.5" tall by almost 2" wide. It is a pump bottle but the pump is not the highest quality. It feels and sounds a little cheap. You push the top bottom down and the product comes out through the tiny spout.

It didn't amaze me as much as the Boscia bb cream did for me. I really don't know if this would even match anyone with darker skin since there's only one shade. Since it kept me from getting oily during the day and has given me a nice natural coverage I am not at all dissatisfied with it. As I mentioned before I bought this from Amazon through the seller World Seller 365. They ship from Korea and has a pretty high rating. It took 3 weeks for it arrive which was earlier than the expected delivery dates for it.

Boscia BB cream

BB creams are becoming popular and now more western brands are releasing their own BB cream products. This is actually the first BB cream I've bought and tried so I'll write about my experience with it.

This product only has one shade and I have light-medium skin. It looks alittle dark when I squeeze the product out, but as soon as I blend it into my skin it really matches my skintone well if not alittle warmer as I'm cool toned. This by far gives me the most natural looking coverage I've used. It gives me light to medium coverage, and its good enough for me to skip foundation and just finish with powder. Not to say I have flawless skin or it makes me look flawless. It just lessens the appearance my spots and acne scars so well, and it doesn't cake as much as the conceals I've used. It hides all of my pores except for the really big ones but powder will deal with it. Don't need to use much of the product as well. A dime sized amount is more than enough coverage for me.

The bottle design is good, never had any problems with it. It really does what the description says it does. It's a tad on the pricey side, but it has really impressed me so its definitely money well spent. Highly Recommend!
