[MAKEUP REVIEW] INNISFREE NO SEBUM BB CREAM SPF 30 PA++ #02 NATURAL BEIGE

“One is not enough.” The sentence is true when we are talking about BB Cream, right? Even we’ve already had one or two BB cream products, everytime we know other brands we just want to try them. That’s why we’re called women, LOL. So guys, for today I’m going to make a review about one of my BB cream from Innisfree. Actually, it is not my favorite BB cream at this time, but it was. I don’t want to talk too much, so let’s started!

NAME:

NO SEBUM BB CREAM SPF 30 PA++

BRAND:

INNISFREE

COLORS:

#02 NATURAL BEIGE

WEIGHT:

40 ml

PRICE:

USD 21.00

This BB cream is one of Innisfree’s No Sebum series. It’s in the same line with its No Sebum Mineral Powder and No Sebum Primer. I think the Mineral Powder is the best sale of all. There’s a lot of reviews for this powder, mostly is great. No wonder la since the oil control of it is so awesome. I love the powder so much and always repurchase when runs out. Then I thought, why don’t I buy the BB cream of this No Sebum Series? So yeah, I bought No Sebum BB cream and hope it would be as great as the powder.

Descriptions

The naturally derived mineral sebum controlling powder adsorbs excessive sebum on skin surface, helping to present a non-greasy, soft, and powdery complexion all day long.

It also claims for its four main expertises: oil control, long lasting, no darkening, effective coverage. The product contains Jeju mineral powder and Jeju green tea, I love green tea so soo much...

Packaging

The outer box is so into Innisfree, so simple and clean. Of course, like always, it is printed with soy ink. Innisfree is well known for its natural and green concept. I think that’s my first reason why I’ve tried and now falling in love with their products. You can see the outer package by clicking the pictures to zoom.

The product itself came in a white plastic tube.  Like no other BB cream packaging, Innisfree made it into a flat tube and the size isn’t that big for its 40 ml content. That’s why it doesn’t come in a pump type. I like the package because it is very friendly to my makeup pouch, so I can bring it anywhere I like in my pouch.

Don’t have anything else to be told since the tube is kinda plain and not that cute, LOL. Just see the pictures!

Scent

Like the Powder, it has natural herbal and mint scent. But this one is quite strong than the Powder’s scent and it won’t disappear once you blend the cream T_T The scent stays quite long. You might don’t like the scent if you dislike herbal scent. I felt weird too when smelt this BB cream for the first time, but then be ‘okay’ after several times using it. In fact, it won’t make you can’t breath while using this BB cream, LOL.

Texture

Sometimes BB cream with matte finish and high coverage comes in a creamy and thick texture, so does it. Well, it’s not that thick like soo thiiicckk~ at all since it’s blended quite easily. But I believe if you have dry skin, you won’t like it. Though I have an oily skin and this BB cream is smooth in texture, I have to make sure that my skin is well moistened before applying it, or the result will be clumpy.

Result

You can see on my pictures, once applied and blended it became soo white like crazy. Look at the difference of my skin color on my back palm. Btw, when I apply the BB cream on my face, it was like a naughty ghost for awhile, LOL. After some minutes, about 10-15 minutes, it will blend naturally with your own skin. Pheww... Oh, thank you.

The result is totally matte! As an oily combination-skin person, I like it.  It also has good oil control, especially when you set it together with the No Sebum Powder. My experience, use it alone without the Powder will keep you from oily face for about 3-4 hours. And with the Powder used, it can stay non-oily up till 6 hours. Hmm... quite good!

Sorry, I didn’t include the waterproof test pictures, but this BB cream is waterproof. I had some effort to erase the swatches on my hand with water. Finally I decided to use oil cleanser.

The coverage is medium. It can cover up my dark circle and uneven skin tone, also most of my scars. But it doesn’t work that well for my super red blemishes. I still need concealer because this BB cream is not buildable. You will end up with cakey result if you use it more than one layer.

Overall, it was my favorite base makeup last summer since my country has crazy summertime. But these latest days when it becomes rainy oftentimes and colder, I need a base makeup that has more moistfull effect to my face which is this product doesn’t have. Besides, nowdays I am becoming a fan of glowy makeup ^_^

The conclusion, I love using No Sebum BB Cream when my skin is in a good condition (read: no red blemish and moistfull ) since the formula of this BB is not buildable. I have to make sure using it in a proper amount, so it won’t be cakey. I’ll give it 4 stars of 5 (actually because it’s Innisfree, LOL).

My FOTD using Innisfree No Sebum BB Cream + The Powder
I should cut my bangs and bring it back again -.-

What I like :

• Good oil control
• Perfect when I want a matte makeup
• Waterproof
• Good coverage
• No greyish effect
• No breakout

What I Dislike :

• The smell maybe too strong
• Sometime it will be cakey under eye area and smile-line (Don’t blot it with tissue, it just will make it more noticeable. I usually use my face mist then pat it gently with sponge to fix it)

I don’t recommend No Sebum BB Cream for everyone who has dry skin or you all who doesn’t like matte finish. This Bb Cream is good for you with oily skin or you all who loves matte skin.

Finally, that’s all for today. I hope this review will help you. So guys have you tried this BB Cream? What do you think about this BB Cream?

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

TUTORIAL : GOLDEN MOON MAKEUP LOOK

How are you guys?!

Today, I’m going to share you another makeup tutorial. Actually this is my makeup look when I celebrated Chinese New Year’s Eve. As we know, 2016 is a year of the Monkey, so this is a monkey’s makeup look, LOL. NO lah... I think this makeup look can be used for party or night makeup not only for CNY’s eve, though I used gold colored which is very identical for CNY celebration. Anyway, gold represents the prosperity and fortune in Chinese culture, also it is the lucky color for this year.  Well, actually gold colored makeup never die, so I decided to make this tutorial. I call it Golden Moon makeup look#cough...

I must stop bla bla blaa... Let’s start!

FACE :

I should give my skin more moistness since it’s getting colder during this rainy days. I keep the cotton pads soaked with toner on my face, especially on both of my cheeks. It helps me a lot to moisten my skin.

Apply concealer to brighten eyebags and cover up blemishes. Next is using foundation or BB cream. Here, I’m using my Laneige BB Chusion. Gently pat it to the entire of your face and don’t forget your neck too. I finish it with translucent loose powder.

To add sparkling look, I use glittery powder as highlight, focus on my cheekbones.

EYES :

As I mentioned before, I use golden eyeshadow on the whole eyelids and outer ½ of bottom lash line. Apply it lightly. Then draw a thick eye cat using brown eyeliner. I secondly apply the shimmering gold eyeshadow, thicker on the center of eyelid. For the eyeliner to stick out, re-apply a gel liner on the outer rim of the eye and as long as your under waterline. Draw straight line on the outer of your lower lash line using the same brown eyeliner. Give a highlight effect to the eye by applying pearly eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eye.

Draw your eyebrow following your natural eyebrow shape. Then apply brown eyebrow mascara. I like to use lighter eyebrow color than my hair color. Today I chose brown redish color.

I’m going to add bling bling to the fake lashes. Here’s the tip :

Put a thin layer of glue on the fake lashes (you can use a clear eyelashes glue). Then scatter glitter or sparkling eyeshadow powder over it and shake it off. Taadaa! Bling bling eyelashes is ready to used.

Use your bling bling eye lashes carefully and curl it together with your natural eyelashes. Apply mascara. Done.

LIPS :

Since I want my eye makeup to pop out, I chose a soft color lipstick. I used Innisfree Cream Mellow No. 3. It has cream coral color and creamy texture. Complete the lip makeup with clear or soft pink lipgloss.

For finishing touch, use a pink cream blusher on your apple cheeks. You can also use your lipstick as your blusher as well by dabbing it on your cheeks.

Your makeup is done! Yes, it’s so simple, right?

I let my hair apart and brought it to the one side. For cute look, I used a flower hairpin. And yeah, I still used Cheongsam although it’s not a CNY’s day anymore, hahahaa.

Skinfood Rice Concealer Tip
