Skinfood Mushroom BB cream

So I ordered my first BB cream on ebay eeek and it was by first ebay purchase since I had an account since 2000 aha.It's all Soompi's fault.Soompi's beauty & fashion thread ruins you, yep.


for 12.50$ + free shipping yay.

I don't use any foundation since I break out if my pores are clogged. The first time I noticed that is when I went for my internship interview T____T. My skin became itchy and I broke out blabala. Now I only use Everyday Mineral and it looks like I have no makeup on maybe because I don't know how to apply it properly. We'll see if my skin likes BB cream. I just want to try it out and now I can't stop browsing ebay, help!

So for those who don't know what BB cream is here is a defintion I found:

B.B Cream , also known as Blemish Balm, started off as a soothing treatment balm dermatologists + surgeons used on patients who underwent laser skin treatment. It helps to shield\protect and regenerate delicate skin. Korean actresses and stars soon started using this cream and it sparked off a huge craze in Korea due to its excellent results.

Beauty brands in Korea have since developed BB cream and made it more suitable for Asian skin.

By far, many brands have come out with their own BB cream of various different functions.

BB cream is a foundation that soothes and regenerates the skin, meanwhile acting as a good foundation with excellent coverage. It can cover dark rings, acne marks and uneven skin tone naturally, giving your skin a natural glow. It also has good oil control power without conprimising your skin's moisture level.

BRTC is the best brand of BB cream (or so it seems from what I've read) followed by Dr. Jart. Other brands that sells bb cream: Missha, Skin Food, Etude, etc.
