Finally...After a 3-month hiatus...A new vid...Sorry if the editing's a little rusty... :(

BB Cream/Blemish Balm Swatches - All 16 of Them!

I Confess:
   ...I am a Masochist...
   ...A Masochist who feels perverse pleasure in failure of finding The One (my apologies to Keanu Reeves)...
   ...The One Blemish Balm ("BB") which matches my NC25-NC30 skintone...
   ...The One BB whose texture agrees with my finicky preferences in base products...
   ...The One BB which doesn't make my skin erupt...
   ...And the Search continues...
   ...Alas...
   ...For I Believe...
   ...The One is still out there...

   ...Awaiting Me...

Most BBs are either way too light, way too pink, or both.
Really, people can rave all they want about how uber natural BBs look, but they only look natural IF they match your skintone.
As for their "miraculous chameleon-like-one-shade-fits-all" colour-adjusting property, well, let's just say ONE shade can only "adjust"/oxidise so much... =_="
In fact, using BBs makes me feel like I am the most tanned Oriental Asian O_o
(I know - rehashed - but I still stand by what I said back then...)
And don't get me started on the texture issues, please...
(...Thick, pasty, hard-to-blend, spackle-like...)

Edited 16 January 2011:
Important!
Sometimes, BB swatches are NOT accurate representations as certain BB creams may LIGHTEN or DARKEN as you blend.

Note:
I do NOT own the BBs in Batch 1 anymore, except for the Nude Cosmetics Skin Radiance 3 in 1 Multi BB SPF 25 PA++.
You can use that as a Control to gauge the other BBs undertones and colour depth.

Behold...Batch 2 of BBs I've been dabbling with in the recent months.
Most of them are failures and I shall be looking up new homes for them soon (via my BlogSale).
However, my stubborn streak is still trying to make the more promising ones work...The Vichy in particular because oil-control is superb!

As you can see from the title, this is only Part 1 of a massive collective haul spanning the 2-month period I've been MIA from Blogger & YouTube. My apologies, but the year end is my peak period in work...So yea...Work=$$$=Hauls
