Difference?

BB Cream Vs. CC Cream

Many people have been asking me

“What is the difference between BB Cream and CC Cream?”

Or

“Which one is better?”

BB Cream – “BB” stands for Blemish Balm and was first created for blemished skin. It was formulated to help heal acne-prone skin and at the same time create flawless healthy looking skin. BB Cream has a greyish tone, why is that? Blemishes are usually red (warm tone) and with a greyish tone (cool tone), it neutralizes the colour making it seem more natural looking. (Example: Dark Circles: In order to cover up your dark circles (cool tone) you would need a concealer that has a warm tone to it, preferably an orangey tone to help neutralizing the colour.) BB Cream’s Sun Protection Factor ranges from SPF 20+ to SPF 50+. It also has an anti-aging

 CC Cream – “CC” stands for Colour Control and its main function is to blend naturally with your skin tone and gives it a brighter youthful look. CC Cream has more of a warmer tone and has a better coverage than BB Cream especially its more effective than BB Cream when it comes to hiding dark circles. It has brightening, anti-wrinkle and SPF effect. CC Cream’s Sun Protection Factor Ranges from SPF 30+ to SPF 50+. CC Cream is more moisturizing and helps improve uneven skin tone. In summary CC cream is an upgraded version of BB Cream. 

In my opinion I personally like CC Cream more than BB Cream. CC blends naturally to match my skin tone and also it gives a natural glow to my face. In the following pictures below, I am using FACE it BB cream: Power Perfection in one of the picture and in the other I am using FACE it CC Cream Aura. When comparing the two, BB cream doesn't brighten as much as CC cream. Another example would be my dark circles. BB Cream does its job covering my eye bags however when you compare it to CC Cream, CC Cream does a better job. 

Can you tell which picture I am using BB cream or CC cream?

Left or Right? 

Note: I used half of my face the show the best results of each cream so you can compare. 

*Excuse the rawness of my face* Did not add any effects to show the best results, only sharpened the picture to see the results better.

Trivia:

Can you tell which one is BB cream and which one is CC cream?

Products used:

- BB Cream: Power Perfection from TheFaceShop. Natural Beige with SPF 37

- CC Cream: Aura from TheFaceShop. Natural Beige with SPF 30. 

I want to thank TheFaceShop for giving me these amazing sample products to try out~

Hope you guys enjoyed this (:

Benetint

Say What?!

Apparently Benefit Rosy lip and cheek stain (Benetint) in the 70s it was originally made for exotic dancer who needed to heighten her nipples. SAY WHAT?! WHY in the world do you need to enhance your nipples?! When I read this I was mind blown. Not sure if I want to use it anymore. Haha just kidding.

So I found this at http://www.cosmopolitan.com/hairstyles-beauty/beauty-blog/benefit-lip-cheek-stain-040711 and I thought it was interesting enough to share this weird knowledge with you guys~

Hope you guys found this amusing J

Expiry Dates

Clean up time!

For a starter, I'm the type of person who is unwilling to throw away anything until I realize I have nowhere to keep them. Prime example would be makeup. Makeup is probably one of girls biggest obsession, we keep buying and buying not because we need it, it's because we want it. It's probably one of the explainable things about girls~

Anyways, like everything makeup has an expiry date. Even if you use it once or multiple times, the clock is ticking...eventually it is time to say goodbye.

Here are some makeup life expectancy:

Mascara: 3 to 4 months

Foundation: 6 to 8 months 

Lipstick/ Lip Gloss: 12 to 18 months

Nail Polish: 2 Years 

Eyeliner: 18 months

Eye shadow: 18 months

Hope this inspires you to throw out what has been in your makeup collection for a long time~
