Skin79 Vital BB Cream Orange Label Review

Hey guys!
Today's review I is very delayed. It's one of the more recent releases from Skin79. If I remember correctly this was realased last year. It is an improved formula from the Pink and Gold labels.

The packaging is very similar to the Pink and Gold labels, except this one is orange, and the pump is gold. Even the boxes are the same.

So what makes it different?
-50+ PA+++ UV protection.
- Full coverage.
- No grey cast.
- Thicker than other Skin79 BB Creams

I initially wanted to try out this BB cream for two reasons. I've good experiences with the pink and gold labels, and the high SPF. Who doesn't want to protect their skin the the UV rays, and especially during the summer that we tend to do more outdoor activities.

Top is the Gold label, Bottom is the Orange label.

Usually BB creams have this grey cast, it eventually disappears once it blends into your skin. But this one doesn't have that grey undertone, it is legit yellow undertone and doesn't take as much time to match your skin color. However I didn't like too much the formula of this one. BB creams are famous because they are like a tinted moisturizer that requires little to no blending. This one requires a lot of blending. It is a lot thicker than the pink and gold labels and almost feels like a foundation.

Although I appreciate the high SPF, I honestly doubt I will repurchase this one. I'm the type of girl that likes easy fool-proof makeup, and this one requires a lot of work to make it look good.

Hauls and More Hauls

Hey guys!
So, I'm officially on summer break now. Which means I will have more time to blog, and do videos. Which makes me happy. College is so stressful, now that I'm in upper division classes have been getting so difficult and time consuming.  So here is this post summarizing most of the things I've bought recently. Here is an unrelevant photo. It is not recent, as you can see I was still in my old room.

Ok getting into the haul
H&M Lace romper.

This was pricey $35, but I had been looking for a pair or lace short for a very long time. So when I saw this romper I thought it was perfect, the only problem was that there were only 3 left in the store and the smallest size available was an 8. I'm usually a 4 or 6. So I just decided to try it on for just in case, and it fits so well!

SHINee and Girls' Generation Light sticks.

Because I'm going to SMTOWN in next week and I need to cheer lol. I bought these at kpoptown.com for around $8 USD each.

New Kpop Albums

I bought SHINee "Sherlock", Girl's Generation "The Boys" and "Run Devil Run". I got this at yesasia.com, with free shipping!

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer in Milk Chocolate

I would not usually pay $29 USD for a powder, but I had been looking for so long for a good bronzer. The problem with most bronzer is that they are orange, and I'm not trying to look like Snooki, and most of the times are too dark for my skintone, and I end up looking muddy and dirty, and this is perfect, it is a warm brown. It's a plus that it smells delicious!

T-strap Pink Shoes

I had seen this shoes at yesstyle a while back and wanted to buy them but they were sold out in my size. Shiro wrote an entry about buying this shoes and she was so nice to send me the ebay link where she got them from. I love these shoes, the heel is so tiny you can walk on these all day. They are comfortable too.

Ivory Wedges.

I got these at Kmart for only $25 USD!

Bow Suspender Tights

I got these at Asos for $14 and free shipping. I love the customer service, no other store is as fast as Asos, I received my order in 4 days! The bad thing about this is that they are "one size" so girls that are a little bit bigger might not fit in these.

Aquolina Pink sugar

I got this because it is my favorite perfume, and I'm running out of mine and had a 20% off coupon for Sephora.

Skin79 Vital  BB Cream (Orange Label) & Etude House Shini Star Lip balm in #5 Taemin

I bought these two at costimetic.love on ebay for aroung $22 USD. I wanted to try the Orange BB cream because it has higher spf than the Gold Label and Pink Label, and the Shini Star lip balm, well I'm just a fangirl, and anything that is advertised by SHINee I buy it! I got  Taemin's color because it was the one that appealed to me the most. Plus it has an autograph at the bottom of the pot!

New skincare products from Mexican Avon and Fuller.

I was able to get these because one of my coworker's son is married to a lady that sells Avon and Fuller from Mexico. It's all super mad cheap! I got the Avon Rejuvenate Night Sapphire Emulsion (this is the only product that is available in America), Avon Rejuvenate Glycolic Facial Treatment, Avon Solutions Hydra Illuminating Night Cream and Fuller Biowhite Clarifying hand cream. All of these for less than $30 USD.

So I think that's it!

Tiny Haul from Ebay

Hey guys
I received a package in the mail today from Korea!
I made the purchase the weekend before valentines day, talk about fast! I purchased the items from cosmetic.love. I had previously purchased from this seller my Innisfree jeju volcanic clay mask and because I had a good experience decided to place another order from him.

I purchased the new Etude House Missing U Bee Happy handcream, which is actually endorsed by SHINee, and the Skin 79 VIP Gold BB Cream.

He also sent me samples... love love love! I figure it out that he sends two samples for every item purchased.
Top row is Tony Molly Dear Me Waterful Skin, Nesura Charcoal Porestrip.
Bottom Row Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Serum, and The Face Shop Face It BB Cream.

The packaging of the hand cream is beyond cute! but was a bit dissapointed at the size. The stock photo is deceiving.
The cream smells like roses!The Skin79 VIP Gold BB cream, I have had my eye on this for a while, I was actually this close to purchase it at the Japanase Market, thankfully I didn't because I samed $10 bucks by purchasing it on ebay. This is is formulated for people with dry skin, but since it is winter, and my skin hasn't been so good, I figure it out it might work for me as well as the pink one.

If you would like a review for any of the products please let me know.

Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream

Hey guys!

Today I'm on blogging mood, but I don't have many pictures! But I will tell you about one of my absolute favorite products, the Skin79 Hot Pink BB cream ( complete name is Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Functions SPF25 PA++).
For those who don't know what a BB cream is here it goes. It is a Korean cosmetic that is very popular in Asia because it promises to deliver amazing results. Each BB cream is formulated to do different things such as whitening, hydrating, provide spf protection, anti aging formulas, can be used as a primer before makeup, etc. The best part of all is that they provide good coverage. So it is basically your skincare+makeup in one step!

This one is one of the most popular ones. It promises to do three things which are whitening, provide spf 25, and wrinkle prevention. I have used the same bottle since late April, and just finished the last very drop of it. Hence why my bottle is basically destroyed.
The consistency of this is a little bit on the thicker side and it smells like roses!
As for the color, I think suits me, I'm an NC25 on MAC and this is what it looks on me. Which is quite a good match.What I like about this is how well it controls the oil, I only have to blot once a day when I wear it. I like that it cover imperfections without looking like a mask, and it feels so light on your skin. I actually saw and improvement on my skin, less breakouts and it has lighten my skin tone a little bit.

The few downsides to this is that despite the cute design of the bottle it is impractical because there is no way of knowing if you are running out, it only comes in one shade, so it doesn't match everyone, also it is quite expensive, I live in the United States (In southern California), so we don't have a Skin79 shop here, and I have to order it online, or get it from some Asian beauty shops. If you happen to be in LA I would definitely visit Koreatown and hit the beauty supply stores!

In overall I do recommend to try this out if you have the change. For more info you can see my video review.
