This is the first time I'm trying a Japanese BB Cream. I first read about it from Lotus Palace 3 weeks ago and wanted to get bestie to CP for me since she's heading to Hong Kong she's currently in Hong Kong with her SO till next week. But I'm in luck! I was at Bugis Watsons last saturday when I came across this baby for S$21.90!
Yea, I know its not cheap as compared to buying online but since it was not marked up by a huge percentage and I could accumulate points from my Watsons card, I decided to get it.
I vaguely remember Kiss Me Heroine as a brand of an extremely good mascara. I spree-ed on Sasa.com bout 2 years ago and the most popular cosmetic product that was spree-ed on Sasa.com was the Kiss Me Heroine Mascara.
There isn't an English description nor do I know how to read Japanese but here's what I've gathered from Lotus Palace:
Essence In BB Cream is supposed to be your miracle product with the following benefits: -Pore coverage -Oil control -Skincare (contains Hyaluronic Acid and nano-sized Collagen) -Makeup base -Foundation (skin coverage) -Sun protection (SPF30 PA++) -Walk your dog and do your laundry
Is the translation right? For those who can read Japanese, translate the above for me please?
Ingredient list in japanese which I can't make out a single character.
Comparing to a standard MAC Lipstick, the BB Cream comes in a pretty small tube which makes it easier for those who have alot of products to rotate like myself. Its easier to complete using the tube!
Kiss Me Heroine Make Essence in BB Cream
Coverage: Sheer - Medium Texture: A little thick but still blendable. Shade: Pretty pale. Would fit those who are NC20-25. Undertone: Yellow Fragrance: Fragrantless Oil-Control: 6hours Dewy-ness: Slight dewyness Overall Comments: This BB Cream's coverage is pretty sheer. As such, its pretty lightweight. I personally feel that this is pretty similar to a tinted moisturizer / sunscreen without the greasy feeling. Most tinted moisturizers are pretty moisturizing thus, unsuitable for babes like myself with oily skin. If you have oily skin, do not need a thick coverage, this is definitely recommended for you. And I love how handy dandy the tube is! With an SPF of 30, its a fuss free BB Cream for me when I can't decide which base makeup to use.
hahahaha. if thats fair. i must be just white! I'm around N15. btw- could you recommend a BB cream for my skin tone? I think i can handle up to ~NC20 if i color correct w/ powder.
It's been a while since you did a review on BB creams... BTW, do you know Maybeline Japan has their own BB cream? And from what I've seen in gyaru mags, its quite popular too!
ah, really? aah, so lucky. Maybeline Malaysia dont have that yet.... but lately I noticed that the retails in Malaysia have finally catching on with BB creams. Watson Malaysia is selling BRTC n Natio BBcreams. Sasa Just introduced Shills and Lioele products as well. Dr Jart as well. Bio Essence and Red Earth also released their own BB creams here. :). I'm excited with the new BRTC BB cream with the hot pink packaging that you've received,cant wait for your review
