Skinfood Mushroom BB Cream #2 Sample Size

The Good:  Medium coverage, blends easily, shade almost matched my skintone, no breakouts

The Not-So-Good: No oil control

Rating: 4/5

So sometime ago I have yet to try another Skinfood BB cream in trial size after liking the Skinfood Aloe. Though I may have only used it for a week, its pretty good and I find it a bit lighter on the skin and easier to blend compared to the Skinfood Aloe BB.  It was a nice try but I'm still on the hunt for the one with an effective oil control. Still got this from Cutie Beauty Shoppe. I have recently purchased trial sizes of BB creams and she was just too kind to include some more sample packs. Can't wait to try them out.

Skinfood Aloe Sun BB Cream #2

It's been a long time ago since the BB Creams bandwagon came out, but it is only this year that I finally braved to give one a try. I was at first hesitant for many reasons. The very first would be the possibility of more breakouts as what some bloggers have experienced, and I have pimple-prone skin, it's so hard to decide which one to try first. I find them too pricey as well and if there are any good brands as per many reviews, they are not available locally.

Then the ripe time to try a BB Cream came. After reading reviews I decided to get the Skinfood Aloe Sun BB Cream #2. I have been using it since March.

Blends well with the skin

Application on the face

The Good : No break-outs, evens out skin tone, improves skin texture, medium coverage

The Not-So-Good: A bit heavy consistency, needs effort in blending

The Bad: Caused milia (tiny white bumps on the skin)


Rating: 3/5

I've had some milia before but haven't noticed them for a while since I was using daily to weekly exfoliating products. When I started seeing nice results with Skinfood BB Cream, I think I have been lazy exfoliating thus I would conclude the development of milia. I tried to exfoliate a lot, even if it didn't remove a single milium at least I haven't noticed new ones coming out. I really like the product though, many people have noticed the improvement of my skin  after a few months of using it. For me, the coverage is pretty sufficient for daily wear. Its been almost 8 months since I bought it and I think the contents will still last for another month. 

Check out Cutie Beauty Shoppe, where I got this BB Cream and a lot more korean products for very affordable prices.

Skinfood Black Sugar and Rice Mask Sample Trial

Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off

"Black sugar mask with rich minerals and vitamin to provide luster and smoothness 

to the skin. After cleansing, gently massage over wet face avoiding eye area, then rinse off."

Skinfood Rice Mask Wash Off

"Mask with nutritious rice extract for soft skin texture.

After cleansing, gently massage over dry face avoiding eye area then rinse off."

So I got these sample sizes from a Cebu-based Ebay seller, for only Php 15 per sachet. I'm not sure of the amount of the content but one pack can last for 5 days if used daily. I was surprised to see it has real sugar and rice granules when they are named as masks. I dont know but for me these are scrubs. Both smell good but I like the Black sugar's lemony with a hint of ginger scent better, which I find invigorating.  Sugar is a good exfoliant but the sugar crystals they used are a bit rough for me so it should be massaged with a very light hand. The Rice Mask has gentle rice granules just perfect for a facial scrub and it leaves the skin soft after rinsing. So far I haven't noticed any allergic reactions or breakouts, though I don't use them everyday. 2-3 times a week perhaps. The products are really worth the try and I like them. But just being me, I like trying out other things so I may not repurchase. I still even have a St. Ive's and Garnier scrub waiting to be noticed again. :)
