My BB Cream Collection

Hello my Wonderlandians!

I  know I have gone missing for a bit these last couple weeks, however I am back and whilst I cannot promise a day with regular postings yet, know that I will do all in my power to at least have a post up per week. Once I have my schedule down and I have settled down to my fullest capacity here in Alaska I hope to have regular postings on Mondays.

I am a big fan of BB creams or Beauty Balms as some people call them. I own 4 different types and each one is good in its own way. I own 2 American brand BB creams, 1 Japanese brand, and 1 Korean brand. I love each of my BB creams a lot, but I would be lying if I said I didn't have a favorite.

These are all the BB creams I own at the moment
 The BB creams I own are:
  • Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB cream (Light/Medium shade)
  • Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm 
  • Junkisui BB 
  • Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB cream (shade No. 2)
With Flash L-R: Maybelline, Junkisui, Urban Decay, and Holika Holika

W/O Flash L-R: Maybelline, Junkisui, Urban Decay, and Holika Holika
Overall I think that BB creams are a great alternative to using foundation especially if you like a lighter coverage. While there is some heavy coverage BB creams out there I like the light coverage mine offer. I have pretty good skin and therefore do not need heavy coverage foundation, although I do own some for photography purposes. All in all I recommend all these BB creams. If you are looking for very light coverage I would recommend the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream especially in the summer! If you are looking for medium coverage I recommend the Urban Decay Naked Skin BB or the Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB cream. And if you want a bit heavier coverage I recommend the Junkisui BB cream.

Which is my favorite you ask?
 - My favorite of all the BB creams I own is hands down the Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly BB cream. It provides just the right amount of coverage and has a cooling effect on your skin. This is my go to BB cream for almost all purposes.

Keep an eye out for the individual reviews!!

Yours Truly,
