I am fortunate to review another product from Studio Gear. The first product I ever reviewed/own was the Studio Gear Holiday Palette. It's a gorgeous palette with 4 eyeshadows and 1 blush. For that reason, I was extremely excited to review their CC Cream.

I was fortunate to receive a sample kit from touch in SOL. I already reviewed their Feel Like Honey Moon Skin Base and Solid Duo Gel Eye Liner. I highly recommend both!

Skin Food Gingko Green BB Cream

I've been using Skin Food Gingko Green BB cream since the beginning of this year, 2010. I think it's about time I review this product... hehe~

Product Review: Skin Food Gingko Green BB Cream in Shade #2

Where can you purchase this: Korean beauty store, Skin Food store, Korea, or online

Price: cannot remember about I believe it was around $20

Made in Korea

Information on the back: This product is formulated with Gingko and green tea extracts, which are full of beauty enhancing ingredients like lecithin and Vitamin B to moisturize and nourish the skin. This is a multi function skin care product for both skin correction and skin protection.

My thoughts: Before I start, BB stands for blemish balm or base. You would think it's for people with acne problems but anyone can use it even I with dry skin. If you're looking for a foundation/BB cream that isn't on the medium to thick side, then this isn't for you. ;)

Most people think BB creams started in Korea, but in some ways it did and some ways it didn't... hehe~ Korea are the first people who thought of this idea, but it was actually made in Germany. My sister-in-law used one made from Germany and hot dang it's pretty expensive! It cost more than $100 and it looks like a cream moisturizer. For some odd reason, a lot of the less expensive ones come in tubes like the one I'm reviewing... hehe~

Now that you know a little history of BB creams, now to my review... hehe~ :D I spread this around my face with my fingers (make sure it's clean), therefore, it's actually better that it comes in a tube than a bottle. I'm not a professional when it comes to BB creams, but I do love the thick consistency. It covers my freckles better than most foundations... lol~ :X I am very happy with BB creams except for one thing. I noticed a lot of BB creams come in only two shades. I don't know why when there are so many different skin tones. :/ I know in Korea being pale is looked upon but still... hehe~ I got the darker shade, #2, and it still looks paler than my NC35 (that's what I am at the moment). Since I love my BB creams so much, I darken it up with a darker powder afterwards. That might be an option for those people who love BB creams and it doesn't come in your shade... hehe~ ;)

Pros:
* Medium to thick consistency.
* It hides some of the flaws.
* Comes in a tube.
* For all skin types.
* Don't need a brush.
* A little goes a long ways.
* The scent isn't overbearing.

Cons:
* Only two shades available.
* Hard to find in the US unless you buy online.

Would I buy this again? Yes and No. I might try other brands to compare in the future.

Here's a swatch on my hand.

It looks like it'll fit my skin tone, but that was my winter skin. During this summer weather, I'm much darker... hehe~

Here's how the BB cream looks on me. I darken it up with a dark powder to match my skin.




I haven't bought jewelries in a long time, but I couldn't resist with these. I told myself it's okay it can be my birthday gifts... hehe~

This is such a gorgeous necklace. The picture doesn't do it justice!!! It's a heart-shaped crystal with a blue-shaped rose inside. The rose shaped is hard to see here, but it's nice in person I promise... hehe~ I love this necklace because it's blue, my favorite color, and I love blue rose. I think blue rose are so unique and beautiful... hehe~

I also bought this dangling bracelet. I love dangling bracelets even though they're out of style now... hehe~ :X I love the simplicity of the colors, as well as, the silver leaves. :)
