Review | Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

Looking for the best BB cream there is in the market? Look no further. The best is named, the best is here! And it's no other than...Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream! I know you might not believe me, but try reading other blogger's reviews and they will tell you what's with Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream that it is claimed to be the best BB Cream in the world!

Believe me, I did not believe in all these claims either until I was contacted by Althea, inviting me to be one of their beta testers. By the way, Althea is finally now here in the country! Head over to ph.althea.kr and get authentic korean branded products for a much cheaper price! So yeah, I agreed, of course, and included Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in my haul. I know there's tons of good reviews already available in the internet but well, I just want to share my experience with it too!

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream, 50 ml

Bought for: Free (P1600 on local department stores | P560 on Althea)

From: Althea

That's just what I am talking about! You can get authentic korean products at Althea! Prices are dirt cheaper by at least 70%! What are you waiting for?! Go grab your favorite products straight from Korea!

First off, the packaging is very nice. Very high-end looking indeed. It comes with a metallic box with enough information on it already. The product, however, is caged in this squeezable tube with a pump dispenser and a tight cover so you can easily control the amount of product in which you want to use. Very hygienic and travel-friendly, it is.

It has lots of ingredients on it, including parabens which some might find a turn-off. Its but okay with me as though it's something I would not consider using like, for the rest of my life. And I expected it already as it did not claim to be made, of course, of all-natural and all-organic ingredients.

Being a korean brand product, I did have lots of expectations about it plus the comments of other people who said that Missha is really a good BB cream, in fact, the best BB Cream for them. I guess, Missha did not, in anyway, disappoint me.

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream claims to offer a novel skin care concept with BB Cream, which lighten skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability and prevents skin-aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties.

It also makes your skin tone clean and natural by concealing blemishes with excellent skin coverage. It is a multi-functional makeup cream with blocking UV rays, whitening and wrinkle care effects and simplifies makeup formalities. Its moisturized application with W/S texture makes sleek skin tone while supplying moisture and nutrition at the same time.

It has SPF 42 PA+++ which has a broad spectrum sun protection so you need not to worry getting tanned after sun exposure. Yet, you are still advised not to stay TOO LONG under the sun even while using sunscreen. With all its tested claims, maybe it really deserves to be a little heavy on the pocket.

Unlike other typical BB Creams, this one smells nice without a hint of foul-smelling chemicals. By the way, the shade that I got is the No. 21 in Light Beige. There's two shade available online: No. 21 and No. 23. I did not choose the latter as it seems to be a little darker for my skin tone. I do hope there's a shade in between as No.21 is a teeny tiny light for my skin tone still. But it's just fine, as this easily adjust to a skin tone with its neutral undertone.

One pump is more than sufficient. The formula isn't too runny nor liquidy, you can easily blend it on the surface of your skin. However, it dries fast so you make sure to easily distribute it along the corners and creases of your face to avoid uneven skin tone. It also dries in a semi-matte finish and is very lightweight on the skin, you need not to worry whether you have super oily skin like me as it does not feel anything greasy on the skin. And because of that, I bet it's perfect for any skin type!

Application is really easy with Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream! However, you can use brush, sponge or even fingertips but I really don't recommend sponge or brush with this BB Cream as its best applied with fingertips (at least for me). Just dab product on your forehead, cheeks, chin and nose area then blend it well. You can use the other product to build coverage on problem areas. During cold days, with my oily skin, I am actually not in need of a setting powder but prefer to use one on hot ones for a matte finish.

Now I know why it's a great BB Cream! One coat is actually enough to hide lightest pimple marks on the face yet concealer is still needed. I'd say it just offers light to medium coverage, enough to conceal redness and minor blemishes but not reddened scars. It's almost similar to foundations in terms of coverage. It does not trigger severe oil production too! Now, my face is fresher looking even after hours of commuting to school. In fact, I think retouch is not anymore needed when you use this BB Cream if you want to achieve that dewy Korean skin.

Overall, this is a very good product! And the best BB Cream I have ever used. So, have you tried it? Share it here with me! Happy blogging!

Love,
Hanna

Review | Leiania House of Beauty Rose Pearl Whitening Eco Organic Face Powder with SPF20

Tired of getting your makeup turn sober after only a few hours since you applied it? I know. I can feel you. As much as we're investing more on good primers, we should too with our setting powders/final powders because they will keep our face shine-free (unless you really want that dewy glowy face) and your makeup freshly intact for additional hours.

Thank goodness, Leainia House of Beauty had Rose Pearl Whitening Eco Oragnic Face Powder with SPF20 which I use every single day to mattify my uber oily skin. I even hate it because I have large pores and yeah, my face sweat up really fast, I sometimes think its sebum production is not normal anymore. Haha, kidding! But that's just how oily I am that even my 'layer by layer' makeup fades up too fast. I am not acidic though.

Rose Pearl Whitening Eco Organic Face Powder with SPF20

The pink cover is actually cute and I like it being stored in an acrylic transparent container though I don't like that the packaging is something that might break easily when dropped. I actually misheld it once and it developed a crack on the side right after. It isn't really durable so always try to be careful when using this product. It's a little bulky too and the size isn't really travel-friendly, but something I would consider bringing with me anytime.

The smell has this floral scent which I really love, I don't know if you'll love it too since it has this kind of perfume fragrance that might be strong for some.

It comes with a puff which I rarely use just because I find it a little irritating (makati) for my skin. It's not a big deal though because I could easily use my hand when setting the powder over makeup and I actually don't like using sponges/puffs that I have already used twice or thrice already since it could be bacteria-laden (unless I'll wash it). Anyway, you can use this as is or as your final/setting powder, it's really up to you. And it's a really good substitute for drugstore face powders that might be filled with harmful chemicals!

It's actually my first time coming across an IG shop selling face powders. Leinia seemed to be a starting company that promotes the usage of organic and natural ingredients on their products, yet they seem to be very brilliant in creating different makeup and skin care items that would help every girl enhance their beauty using natural-infused beautifiers such as this face powder.

You can actually see that it's composed of very fine-milled pigments that instantly remove any greasiness and oiliness on the face. What's more is that I find it very lightweight on the skin and won't cake your foundation/bb creams, thus making your makeup last for hours and keeps oil at bay. It really has become a good buddy for my Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream!

I'd say its very gentle and won't clog the pores too. Ever since, Ms. Favia sent this to me, I immediately use it up until now. And so far, no major breakouts yet. I guess my hiyang factor just go to the products I'm currently obsessing with. I might share my recent skin care routine to you in another blog post soon! (And some of them are from Leiania too!)

In terms of its lightening, uhm, I see no noticeable effects yet as lightening actually takes time but I am not after it though. Also, a little goes a long way. You can even use a tub for months already! It's so affordable too so perfect for princesses on a budget like me! Hoho!

The only thing I don't like about it is that the powder is translucent and could create a white cast on the face (probably because of the SPF content). So to avoid this, do not put too much so you won't look like a clown. This is not a big deal again as I can easily control the amount I want to use or could just wipe the excess by tapping some tissue paper on my skin. And hey, it's a good thing it has some SPF as you can stay protected under the sun!

Overall, this is another product from Leinia House of Beauty that is worth repurchasing! Again, walang halong pagp-PR, this face powder is actually a bomb!

Purchase this only at Leinia House of Beauty for only P160! Happy blogging!
