BB Cream Review + FOTD

BB creams have become very popular in the beauty blogging community. I recently purchased a set ($5.99 but varies where you purchase from) that includes 4 mini BB creams by Skin79. A BB cream is basically a super tinted moisturizer. It has skin healing properties and many people swear by them. For reference, I'm NC20-25 with dry to normal skin. 

The ones included are:

• Skin79 VIP Gold Label: This BB cream has the consistency of a thick cream, but it applies sheer. The coverage can be built to a light (almost medium) coverage. It dries to a natural finish.  This is labeled as a "whitening" BB cream so it has a grey undertone.
• Skin79 Triple Function Pink: This one behaves similarly to the VIP Gold. It has a slight powdery finish.
• Skin79 The Prestige Diamond: The undertones in this BB cream is beige because it doesn't have the whitening properties. It has a dewy finish with sheer (buildable) coverage.
• Skin79 Diamond Pearl: This is the sheerest of the 4 and also has a beige undertone. It has shimmer particles that are visible when applied so I would use this as a subtle highlight on the cheekbones, not all over the face. 

• All the BB creams feel very nice on the skin and provide moisture. I used them for 1-2 weeks and I did not see an improvement in my skin but I do have pretty normal skin. I really like these as concealers because they stay put & don't cake up.

• Wear time: Without setting powder is 4-5 hours. I wore them for 6-7 hours when I used Studio Careblend to set them. 

• Shade selection: BB Creams are popular in Asian markets and so are products to whiten your skin so many BB creams only come in a few (light) shades. I'm pretty fair and some of these were still too light. You can tell from the picture that it is a tiny bit too light for me but it isn't too noticeable, especially when you add blush/bronzer.  
• Misc: They all smell kind of like roses. It isn't unpleasant but some people might not like it. All the BB creams in this set have SPF25 PA++ (except the Diamond Pearl).

 Overall, I think this is a good set if you want to try BB cream and don't know where to start. ;)

I don't remember everything I'm wearing in this FOTD but I was wearing the VIP Gold BB Cream. The eyes were Goldenrod + Red Brick + a few other things!
