BB Cream

m.anna

Anyone knows where I can buy BB Cream in Ireland? Galway?

Tirabaralla

try boots, or maybe the body shop, or even maybe lush might have some.

I ended up ordering it on ebay. After all it's no good for me. Gave it to my friend who loves it. You can order small samples, there are sets of 4 samples, different types. Then you'll see what matches your skin.

There's a Skin Food shop in Powerscourt for anyone else interested - they should have a number of their BB creams in. I find them all quite yellow/peach though so not suited to many Irish skin tones. perhaps - certainly not to mine, but I'm very pale and need a pinker base.

They have other cute products

Have same problem. Very pale skin, sutan resistant. All BB creams I've tried (4) were too dark for me.

Thank you girls.

I am Italian and I think Ic an say I have an olive undertone so yellowish shouldn't be a prob for me...but I think I may not find something dark enough for my tone...

i would like to order via e-bay...suggestions?

Some of them come in different shades. You can check

Skinfood
Etude House
Skin79
Hanskin

But if you google it there are some very good pages out there reviewing BB creams which are probably more helpful. Checking this has led me to a new website I want to order all of - must check it out

Thank you Lainey...
All the ones I could fund on eBay from Korea seemed fairly on the light side.
Gonna check the site and those brands.

try missha no.27 for yellow medium skin
no.31 for tanned golden skin

Flaker

Garnier, Boots and loads of others are now doing BB creams. I bought the Garnier one recently but found it very greasy indeed. Gave it to my sis who has quite dry skin and she found it a bit greasy too. I don't know, I think they're a bit of a gimmick to be honest. Just a jazzed up tinted moisturiser really...

Yes, the branded ones like Garnier, No 7 etc are a different product to the original Korean ones. From what I have read, there is no comparison. The branded ones are little more than tinted moisturisers. The Korean ones have formulas for treating acne etc. On the downside, I have also heard that the original ones contain a skin lightening ingredient, although I am not sure if this applies to all of them.

I've sallow skin and use the garnier bb cream in medium and it's fab the shade is just right for my skin plus it lasts ages

Sabrielle

I've done a bit of research on this and unfortunately most of the Korean ones do contain skin lightening ingredients. The two that looked most promising are the Smashbox and Clinique ones, unfortunately they are the more expensive ones as well. I'm not sure if they are available here yet but can be bought online. I ordered the Clinique cream from ebay, the coverage and colour is great but I have dry skin and it did start to have a slight flaking/caking effect so I think it would be more suitable for people with oily skin. Its has a really thick consistency, thicker than most foundations and drys quickly on the skin so is best applyed in parts and in a thin layer. I tested the Maybelline, Garnier and No. 7 ones but they all were too dark and just felt and looked like a tinted moisturiser. The purpose of the BB creams is to combine skin care and good coverage in one easy step but I wouldn't use any of them without at least using moisturiser first.

Thanks for the informative post Sabrielle, that's very interesting to know.

I personally think that the South Korean brands of BB creams are amazing and have great staying power.

I use Etude House's BB cream....they can't lighten my skin any more than is right now because to say I'm pale is an understatement!

It gives me an airbush finish and I put pressed powder over it as I like the matte finish. I'm a demon for Etude house I can't walk past one without going in!

Missha and Artarium are other fantastic brands.
