how is that hard for a first time?

True fact is, I have never been keen to try on BB Creams eventhough I know that they are popular in Korea and Japan and are getting popular around here as well. I was just never moved, because my initial thought was that BB Cream won't give full coverage that a foundation gives. I feared that its functions of a whitening product, UV protecting product as well as help to cure blemish and improves skin condition might take off the focus of it as a foundation as well. And you know how I like my foundation to be full coverage, and I wasn't willing to spend my money on something which does not have it. I figured that I could get a better sunscreen, better acne spot treatment for my face that wouldn't require it to be a part of a foundation.


Not, until I hear about the reviews on the Skin 79 Super + Beblesh Balm Triple Functions. Yes, that was kind of mouthful to say, isn't it? So I read that this was a very famous product for a BB Cream (it can either be blemish balm or beblesh balm, like this one here). The reviews were promising, and I like how it applies and for the first time, didn't mind the foundation consisting of the triple functions of a BB Cream. But I figured, this stuff would not be sold in Malaysia. It would just never arrive here, it just wouldn't. But then, when I found it in a local Watsons store in One Utama, I was starstrucked.

They didn't have it in stock, fine. I was prepared for that answer. I waited in vain and ranted all about the BB Cream on twitter. I went to another Watsons store, they didn't have it as well. The lady tried to make me buy another brand but I was determined to get this one. A week later, I went back to the usual Watsons store in One Utama and there they were, seven bottles all together on the rack. I bought mine, happily, and went home.

Wow, this is some story, is it?


Case #1: The uber cute packaging. Vey kawaii-ish.

As you can see, the consistency of this is really quite thick.


What happened when it is roughly blended in. You can see that it gives my desired effect of full coverage foundation in spite of it being a triple functioning product, with UV protecting SPF25 PA ++, anti wrinkles and whitening product.

When all have been blended in nicely. See the glowy effect it gives? It looked very natural on the face, the kind you see every korean artists were sporting and wonder aloud where they got their glow from. And though it gives full coverage foundation, it also feels lightweight on the face you wouldn't feel cakey at all. By far, this is not a disappointing product for a BB Cream. I like it in everyway, and glad that it is my first. It costs me an understandable amount of RM69.00

Oh by the way, did I mention that on the very next day, there was only one product left on the rack at the One Utama Watsons Store?

p/s: I have to say that this product only comes in one shade, which is this color. If you are slightly darker or much fairer, you would want to find a BB Cream that has some color ranges.
