Joining the BB Craze! :Mistine BB Cream & Compact


 MISTINE BB WONDER CREAM


When  BB cream aka Blemish Balm took the world by storm,  i waste no time investigating..chewahh.. 
The first of BB cream originated in Germany in the 1950s developed by dermatologist Christine Schrammek, M.D. for her patients who  had undergone laser treatments, skin peels and such. The BB cream acts as a soothing cream while camouflaging redness due to the treatments. 30 years later, BB cream entered the Korean market, and became the next big thing throughout Asia. Korean celebrities attributes it to their flawless skin and calling it a “miracle cream.”

BB cream has become a staple in our make up bag due to its 'all in one purposes'. It moisturizes, smoothens, brighten, cover up dark spots, discolorations and minor imperfection, protects from sun rays and most formulations includes anti aging benefits as well.

My first BB cream is this brand Mistine. Mistine is a well known beauty brand from Thailand. They won numerous awards such as Thailand Best and Super Brand.
My review on their BB cream; The very first thing you'll notice when u squeeze the tube is the fragrance. Smells like expensive perfume but very light. Love it! The texture is not greasy at all. Spreads easily. It can easily be used as a primer, foundation and powder in one go. A little goes a long way so you might want to be careful on the amount you spread on your skin.
The pros; it conceals and evens my skin tone quite well, VERY long lasting i tell ya. Finish off by dusting on loose powder or compact powder, the result is almost flawless. The cons; The shade is way too light for tan skin but should be okay on fair and medium skin tone

MISTINE BB WONDER COMPACT



After the success of their Wonder Cream, Mistine launches yet another BB Product, the Wonder Compact. It serves the same purposes as their Wonder Cream but in compact form. 
I really love the fragrance.Almost similar to Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume I found this to be quite oily for my complexion although the coverage is excellence. The texture is soft and creamy and upon applying on the skin it spreads nicely, almost like a cream to powder foundation. The packaging is very attractive. What is it with women and beautiful packaging cosmetics eh..
I personally think that this version of BB works really well with normal, dry or matured skin types.
