Dr Jart Black Label Detox Healing BB Cream


I bought the sample from an online seller for $5.

Regretted. Not only did it not impress me with it's too sheer coverage, bad oil control and nothing to rave about texture, it clogged my pores and made me bumpy for a week!!

- Banned product -

BRTC Jasmine Water BB Cream & Protect Multiplex Balm BB Cream


I got this from fr3b.com, where you can request for "free" samples to try the products before buying the full size.

Although it is supposed to be free, you have to pay for shipping and handling nonetheless. So I requested for 2 of the many BRTC BB cream, Jasmine Water and Protect Multiplex Balm.

And I concluded that I can't tell the difference between the 2 BB creams. HAHA!

Texture, colour, smell and everything is the same to me. So as you read on, you can assume when I talk about one, I am talking about the other too.

The texture is thick, which is one part i don't like about it. Makes me feel like I'm wearing alot of make-up after application.

I love the colour though. It gives a brightening effect after application and coverage is very good as well; comparable to Dr. G's.

Oil control is not good. Looks oily during mid-day.

Because of the texture and bad oil control, I stuck to Dr. G and did not buy the full size for this. That also explains the lack of photos for these 2 products. Haha.

Gowonsesang or Dr. G BB Cream

BB Cream... the craze that took over many girls a few months back.
I was one of them apparently. Haha...

So, the first BB Cream I tried was a *thumbs ups*.






Of all the BB cream I tried, this has the best coverage plus oil control. I was using mineral foundation from Melange before this and happy to say that I'm glad to have made the switch.



This is easier to apply and lasts longer. No more brush needed every morning, which is good coz I save the hassle of washing the brush every 2 days *anal about cleanliness of make up and skin care products*.



Texture wise, thicker as compared to L'egere BB Cream, thinner than BTRC, but still easy to smooth over my face and blend.



Shade wise, can be a little pinkish and fair when just applied. But after one hour or so, it becomes natural looking even for my tanned skin.




Below is a colour swatch on my hand.


Much lighter compared to L'egere BB Cream.


Below shows before and after application. Not sure if it is big enough to notice the coverage. This is immediately after application and below strong light. *Obviously the one on the right is after*



I used to dab some under my eye as a undereye concealer and it doesn't cake as well.

Overall, it's a must-have for me at the moment!

L'egere BB Cream



This BB cream came as a free gift with my purchase of the L'egere blusher.

This BB cream is sheer, with a thin texture, and a slightly orange tint and darker tone. It will not be suitable for fair skinned people.


Colour is much darker as compared to Dr. G's.







Coverage is really sheer and doesn't really cover blemish marks. More like for a overall evening of skin tone and giving a healthy glow.

I like to use this when I'm don't feel like going out naked faced and don't feel like putting too much make up either.
