Skin97 BB Miniature Set

If you follow my blog, then you may recall I had mentioned purchasing the Skin97 BB Miniature Set.  I was really excited when I saw this mini set because it's cheap and I can try four different types of BB cream.  And from what I read in the Internet, Skin97 is supposed to be the better brand of BB cream and people raved about Skin97.  


The packaging is very nice and cute but otherwise, nothing special about this BB cream.  The coverage is not bad but the color is a bit odd for me, it doesn't look natural at all.  BB cream is known to give you a natural look but all four of them give me that good old foundation look and feel.  And yes, I do mean it feels like foundation.  It's very sticky in my opinion, so maybe this will be good for people with dry skin.  After wearing the BB cream for one normal day, not an extremely long day, I had those little oily bump. I had to do a very thorough job cleaning my face afterward!



The BB Cream is in the following order in my photos:
  • Gold Label Mini BB Cream SPF25 PA++ (5g)
  • Pink Label Mini BB Cream SPF25 PA++ (5g)
  • Diamond Mini BB Cream SPF25 PA++ (5g)
  • Diamond Luminous Mini BB Cream SPF25 PA++ (5g) 
The differences among this set of four is that the Gold Label is the thickest of the four and the lightest is Diamond Luminous . You can probably see in the picture that the far right, the Diamond Luminous, is very fluid and was running down my hand.  Also the Gold Label is the darkest and most shimmer of the four and the color and shimmer quality go down as you proceed to the right.

I'm just really disappointed because I read so many good reviews about this line.  I guess I set my bar too high!  :(
