What is BB Cream? B.B Cream is short for “Blemish Balm Cream, BB Cream was supposedly developed in Germany” became extremely popular with the Korean celebrities within the last few years. It was initially introduced to patients who went for cosmetic surgery so it is known to have more soothing/healing properties compared to normal foundations. It uses two different ingredients, hydrophilic (water retention effect) and lipophilic (preventing water loss effect). It is said to “regenerate” the skin, & give it a flawless natural look. It applies very smoothly and gives a very even-toned look.
I've been reading about the magical BB Cream since December. All the cool Asian girls rock it & it & look HOTT with it on! So I I want some of that!! One problem.... I'm brown and most BB Creams are light or light with a slight tint. I'm nothing close to that... So I snooped around read all of the reviews and headed over to my favorite Japanese Product Seller on Ebay, (who I stole from Ms. Kimberly Tia). I ordered the L'egere Water Drop Shiny Pearl BB Cream. I decided on the L'egere because it's said to be one of the darkest BB Creams.
(Doesn't She kinda resemble Kimora Lee Simmons)So three days later I had my BB Cream!!! At first when I put it on I didn't listen to everyone who said "a little goes a long way", I looked all gray & ashen. The next time I put it on I used less and it kinda worked but I didn't look flawless and dewy. So I figured that I need to "brown it up a bit". I took some MAC MSF Foundation and added a little to to BB Cream.
BAMN!!! Flawless, Dewy, "Asian" Black Girl Fierceness!!!
I have sensitive-ish skin and have had no problems with this BB Cream. It feels light & cool on the face when applied almost refreshing.. ahhhh......

So here's my little video tutorial. So sorry that the quality sucks, I'm starting not to like the web-cam that came with this laptop. For some reason my shirt looks blue but it's black I was trying to rock the headband because I made this video at 2am and I wasn't trying to do my hair. Excuse the blabbing and dancing at the end... That's just silly Kendall style....
