Skin79 Diamond The Prestige BB Cream

Wow, it really has been a long, long time since my last post - more than a year now! I've never thought I would be away for so long but oh well, life happened. After I started working again following a year break to pursue a Master degree, my life just naturally fell into a routine; busy at times and during those which were not, I chose to relax!

And oh, the most important update is that me and hubby had our wedding ceremony and reception early this month. They went really well. I couldn't stop smiling each time I thought about the wedding. Definitely fond memories for life. Perhaps, I should do an entry on that. Let's see. :)

Anyway, I digressed. The title of this entry sounds nothing like the long introduction I've written so far.

During this long absence, despite taking a hiatus from writing, of course the shopaholic me did not stop hauling. How could I right? I always believe in retail therapy! Lol!

One of the babies I've acquired recently is the Skin79 The Prestige BB Cream from the Diamond collection. Oh boy, how I am loving this! I've been using this every single day since I opened its packaging.

Look at the gorgeous bottle! Looking all sleek and pretty. And its goodness does not just end at the outer appearance. The content inside is just as good.

Coverage is not full but sufficient for me. My skin condition for the past few months has been really good (well, at least I am more than happy for it) and so I don't need too much coverage. I've never been a fan of thick coverage anyway and would always prefer luminous and dewy base. During the time-of-the-month when I sometimes would get some spots, dabbing concealer after application does the job perfectly.

Extremely easy to blend. I just do that with my fingers btw. My poor foundation brushes have been sitting idle collecting dust for months now. :) What I do is one pump of product on my palm, dab them on my cheeks, forehead and chin areas and finally blend and smooth them out using my fingers. Super quick and easy.

What I love the most about this product is its finish. Leaves a dewy and natural glow on my face! Dusting a thin layer of finishing powder over it and my base will last for the entire day - a good 9 hours I would say.

This matches my skin tone well and as a guidance, I am a NC15 so yes, those with darker skin tone may not like this product.

This reminds me a lot of the other favourite of mine - Missha M Perfect BB Cream. The one distinct difference is Missha's provide a thicker coverage. Both gives the perfect finish which I like. If you ask me to choose between the two, I feel a little guilty as I think I am siding more towards Skin79's. Missha M Perfect has been my favourite for such a long time now that I feel guilty of letting it lose! Lol.

I am aware of the lack of photos in this entry and I apologize for that. This is because I have not taken any. But if any of you would like to see some, I am happy to add them. Just request by commenting.

With that, that's all for this returning post I guess. Thanks for reading if you happen to come by. :)
