Review: Skin79 BB Cream (Diamond The Prestige, Diamond Absolute Total, Super VIP Gold Label, Hot Pink Triple Function)

Holla! I'm BACK ^_^
And thank you so much for your support during my June turmoil <3

[  Apologies if this post sounds a little...loopy...disjointed...
   Got a little rusty during the break...  ]

Anyway, I haven't been hauling much apart from a Lunasol palette, several Real Techniques brushes and some random doo-dats:

HOWEVER, I've went a "little" BB cream crazy.
Specifically, a KOREAN BB cream frenzy because much as I love my BB Creams for Darker Skin,
most of them are of Japan origin.
And considering Korea is BB cream's "stronghold",
I really wanted to find one which doesn't make me look white/pink/gray!

Watch out for more Korean BB cream reviews later because I found some HITS! <3 *finally-it's hightime!*

So...
I got a whole bunch of Skin79 BB Creams (or "Beblesh Balms" - odd name - typo? ^_~)
(Left to Right - Clickable Links:)
~ Diamond Collection The Prestige Beblesh Balm SPF25 Pa++
~ Diamond Collection The Absolute Total BB Cream Bb Cream SPF37 Pa+++
~ VIP Gold Label Collection Super Beblesh Balm  SPF25 Pa++
~ Hot Pink Super Beblesh Balm Triple Function SPF25 Pa++

And if you look up the BB creams I chose to review in the chart below,
you'd notice that NONE of these offer "Coverage" as one of my "Skin's Needs".

NOT that I DON'T need coverage (believe me when I tell you I NEED it!),
but prior experience with Korean BB creams (Missha, SkinFood, Etude House, The Face Shop, the list goes onnnnnnnn...)
has taught me most BB creams touting great coverage are thick, pasty and incredibly difficult to blend/work with.

Review: Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum

If you've read my Korean Haul Post, it's blatantly obvious that I went there with 2 (beauty-related) specific brands in mind:
- Innisfree
- Laneige
- other bits & bobs if I had the time.

And I DID pretty well, actually ^_^
Managed to purchase almost every Innisfree item I was lemming for...
EXCEPT the Innisfree Green Tea BB Cream in shade #2 T_T
Nevermind that...

Let us dwell more on one of Innisfree's BestSelling Items:
