[Mistine] OIL CONTROL BB MOUSSE

I didn't buy a lot of new BB creams the last months because I wanted to use up the ones I got or tried out CC creams instead. But recently I ordered a few BB creams again and one of these were [Mistine]'s OIL CONTROL BB MOUSSE. I purchased it over eBay from Thailand but the product says it's "Made in Korea".
I've never heard of [Mistine] before but this cosmetic brand seems to be quite popular in Thailand. They sell make-up as well as skin/ body care.

As the name already says, this BB Mousse is great for people with oily/ combination skin.

Description: The latest BB Mousse from Korea give the soft touch like silk. Dry comfortable and help to skin coverage and perfect oil control. This formula is combination of Light & Smooth Powder Technology which gives soft feeling, instand fill wrinkle to appear smooth skin and UV Protection with SPF25++.

The OIL CONTROL BB MOUSSE comes inside a white/gold-lettered metallic-purple carton.

On the back is the description written in korean and english.
The included tube with the BB Mousse in it contains 15g, has a twist-of lid and comes in the same color as the carton.

To get the product out you simply need to squeeze the tube!
Since the ingredient list is also written in english I can tell that there are no natural ingredients (fruit, veggie or herbal extracts) in it like you may know from many other Korean BB creams.
Some ingredients inside [Mistine]'s BB MOUSSE are Cyclomethicone, Water, Titanium dioxide, Talc, Dipropylene glycol, Dimethicone, Zinc oxide, Silica, Methicone, Fragrance, Propylparaben and more.

The BB Mousse is available in only one shade which I would describe as a light beige without a strong pinkish undertone. The consistency is creamy yet mousse-like and instantly gives a matte, powdery finish. Many other BB creams leave a glowing/shiny finish but this BB Mousse mattifies without the use of a face powder.
The product is light scented and has a medium coverage!

I have oily skin I really like this product! I belong to those who always use a mattifying face powder over foundation but with the OIL CONTROL BB MOUSSE I could easily skip it. Of course, the oil control doesn't last for hours but still better than many other BB creams I used.

Price: around 6,- €/ US$8 
Bought at: eBay (bestforyou2555) 

What I love:
The instantly matte finish!! 

What I don’t like: 
Nothing yet except the fact that there are no natural ingredients inside. 

Will I buy this again? Yes, for this price I will!!!

[NATURE REPUBLIC] tweety! BB CREAM *BRIGHT SKIN*

Recently I don't buy many BB Creams because I want to finish the ones I already own first, but when I saw that [NATURE REPUBLIC] released a limited 'tweety! (LOONEY TUNES)' edition I had to grab its tweety! BB CREAM. I got NO. 01 BRIGHT SKIN and it's also available in a darker shade. 
This product line consists of four (4) products:
- LOVELY MASK (7 different sheet masks)
- JELLY MOISTURIZER
- BB CREAM (2 shades of beige)
- POWDER PACT (2 shades of beige)

Description: This feather-light BB cream makes your skin look bright and clear. SPF25 PA++ Whitening + Anti-Wrinkle + UV Protection

The cute BB cream comes in a yellow tube with a pic of Tweety on it (each color got another picture of Tweety). The product contains 35ml and has a white twist-off lid.
The outer packaging is kept in yellow and brown and is printed with soy ink. Inside the packaging are some pics of Bugs Bunny, Sylvester and Road Runner. 

The description is written in English and Korean.

7 NON ADDED FORMULAS: Paraben, Talc, Mineral Oil, Benzophenone, Ethanol, Organic Pigments and Sulfate.
Some ingredients inside this BB are Evening Primerose Oil, Lavender Water, Rosemary Leaf Water, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and much more.

NO. 01 BRIGHT BEIGE is a light beige without a pink or yellowish undertone. The color suits my pale skin tone quite well.
The light creamy texture, with its soft scent, changes to a rather watery consistency on the skin. Because of that, it doesn't cover skin blemishes perfectly.

Being a moisturizing BB Cream without a very good oil control I would recommend it more for those with normal or dry skin. It's also better for people who don't need to cover many blemishes.

How to use: Apply an appropriate amount lightly to the skin.

Price: around 7,- €/ US$9 
Bought at: eBay (f2plus1) 

What I love:  
The cute design! Good for hot days (summer).

What I don’t like: 
Not a good oil control and a light coverage. 

Will I buy this again? No, I won't!

[ETUDE HOUSE] AC Clinic Daily Sun BB

The last BB Cream I received a few weeks ago is from [ETUDE HOUSE]'s product line for acne-prone/ troubled skin: the AC Clinic Daily Sun BB.
This BB Cream is kinda new in the AC Clinic line and might be interesting for people who already own some of the other products (like me).

Description: Formulated with Salicylic Acid and Hinoki Cypress, AC Clinic delivers trouble care. UV protection BB Cream supplies natural expression coverage with a non-comedogenic formula. SPF30/PA++

The outer packaging and the tube are green-colored, like all products in the AC Clinic line. On the box is the whole description written in korean and a few things in english, while the tube doesn't have many informations.

The green tube is flat, contains 50g and has a twist-off lid.

Beside Salicylic Acid and Hinoki Cypress the Daily Sun BB also contains Water, Glycerin, Zinc Oxide, Arbutin, Panthenol, Papaya Fruit Extract, Garlic Bulb Extract, Onion Bulb Extract, Wintergreen Leaf Extract, Tea Tree Leaf Oil and more.

The slightly creamy BB Cream is available in only one shade, which I would describe as a rather light beige with a hint of pink. This shade is okay for my pale, sometimes reddish skin tone. The Sun BB feels a bit moisturizing, has a medium yet natural coverage and leaves a slight matte finish. I like its scent coz it's not as strong as from the other AC Clinic products.

It probably got its name 'Sun BB' coz of its SPF30 only, so I will use it on colder days as well. 

I like the coverage, even though I need to use a concealer sometimes. 

My skin still starts to get oily after a while and I don't think that it will cure from acne. It might help to dry out some skin blemishes, though!

How to use: Apply cream to all areas of the face. Pat to finish.

Price: around 14,- €/ US$17   
Bought at: eBay (cosmetic.love)        

     

What I love: 

The natural coverage and non-oily formula.

       

What I don’t like: 

Nothing at the moment!       

  

Will I buy this again? I probably would, but will look for new BB Creams again coz it's not working perfectly for me.

[ecórre] EX BB Cream (Blemish Balm)

While browsing for new items at eBay I stumbled several times over a BB Cream from [ecórre].
I found it interesting but I never wanted to spend lotsa $$$ for a big tube. In addition, this BB Cream isn't available in a wide range of colors, so I scared that the only available beige shade might be too dark for my pale skin (again). Therefore, I was more than happy when I found a seller who sells the [ecórre] EX BB Cream in a small 15ml trial size.

Since this BB Cream is OIL FREE it's also good for combination/ oily skin!

Official Website: http://www.ecorre.co.kr/

Btw, [ecórre] is endorsed by korean girl group KARA (카라).

Description: This unique professional formula containing innovative active ingredients aims at covering skin imperfections, concealing blemishes, and activating skin rejuvenation, it soothes red, irritated skin while providing moisture to skin.

The whitish/ beige paper box looks very simple and has the description in korean and english on it. Inside is the small, flat beige-colored tube with 15ml content. The twist-off lid is black and you need to squeeze the BB Cream out of the tube.

The ingredient list on the packaging is written in korean only what makes it rather difficult for me to read. But it contains Kava Kava Extract, Lavender Extract, Argan Oil and Argireline.

It also comes with SPF30 PA+++!!

The creamy consistency has a good coverage and moisturizes without leaving a greasy feeling. This BB Cream is available in one shade only which is a rather light beige with a greyish undertone. I compared the color with some other BB Creams I own and can say that the beige shade is to 90% the same as [Holika Holika]'s Baby Bloom Light BB Cream and [THE FACE SHOP]'s Oil-Free BB Cream.

The fresh scent reminds me of something but I can't tell what it is....

The [ecórre] EX BB Cream is a nice product coz it is oil free and covers my blemishes quite well - similar to the [MISSHA] M PERFECT COVER B.B. 

I didn't notice many breakouts yet but my skin starts to get oily after a while (as always). But that might also come from the wrong face creams/ primers/ BB Pacts I use or just from my oily skin.

How to use: Apply proper amount on the entire face and spread onto the whole face.
It can also be used as a make up base.

Price (15ml): around 2,50,- €/ US$3 
Bought at: eBay (bestsky2011)        

What I love: 

The good coverage, fresh scent and non-oily formula. 

       
What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I really dislike atm!

    
Will I buy this again? No! It was nice to get a trial size to try it out but will buy another BB Cream again.

[i.myss] A.CARE TROUBLE COVER BB CREAM

After a few month I finally ordered two (2) new BB Creams!! One is from [ETUDE HOUSE] and the other one is from a brand I recently got to know: it makes your skin sing or better known under the short form [i.myss]. I guess this brand is rather new?! 

Anyway, the korean boyband 2AM (투에이엠) is the new face for i.myss.

Btw, why are so many guys the face of a cosmetic brand (2AM, SHINee, JYJ, CNBLUE,...)???

So, when I saw this new brand I got very curious and wanted to try out one of their BB Creams. I got the A.CARE TROUBLE COVER BB CREAM for acne-prone/ troubled skin.

Description: A special trouble care line freshly repairing the stressed skin by madecassoside and easing the trouble by natural ingredient extracted from tangerine fruit.

The BB Cream is inside a white paper box which has on the front a member of 2AM (sorry, I don't know their names...). On the back is the description in korean and on the side in english.

The product itself comes in a flat, whitish tube with a twist-off lid. It contains 50ml!

The ingredient list is quite long: Water, Talc, Magnesium Sulfate, Orange Oil, Lemon Fruit Oil, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil, Bergamot Fruit Oil, Citronella Oil, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Citrus Unshiu Fruit Oil, Tangerine Peel Oil, Tea Tree Leaf Oil. Salicylic Acid, Iron Oxides and more.

The consistency is creamy, not too thick, though. It has a good coverage and mattyfies my skin for a few hours. Unfortunately, the A.CARE TROUBLE COVER BB CREAM is available in one shade only which I would describe as Natural Beige. 

For my white/ pale skin this shade is a bit too dark what makes me sad.

I can only apply a thin layer or need to mix it with a (lighter) BB Cream or a Primer. It might suit asians or ppl with darker skin, though!

The scent is slightly fruity, ethereally (from the oils).

I wished I could leave a more positive feedback but the shade is just not the right one for pale skin types. Hopefully they will offer more color options in the future.

But I like the coverage and the matte finish!

How to use: At the last step of foundation touch, take a proper amount to apply along with skin texture smoothly and tap softly to help absorbtion.

Price: around 11,50,- €/ US$12  

Bought at: eBay (cosmetic.love)    

      
What I love: 

The coverage is good and it leaves a matte finish. Nice scent as well!   

What I don’t like: 

Only one shade which is too dark for my pale skin. Oil control is ok but my skin still gets shiny after a few hours.

     
Will I buy this again? Nope, because of the color!! Would like to try out other ones from [i.myss], though.
