Missha perfect cover bb cream ~ no. 23 (natural beige) ♡

Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream No. 21 (Light Beige) was the first BB cream I'd ever tried out and I've always come back to that one ever since. Recently I decided to give the No. 23 (Natural Beige) colour (a shade darker) a try to see how they compare. 
"MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B Cream offers a novel skincare concept with B.B cream, which lightens skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability, and prevents skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties.

This M Perfect Cover BB Cream makes your skin tone clean and natural by concealing blemishes with excellent skin coverage. It is a multi functional makeup cream with blocking UV rays, whitening and wrinkle care effects and simplifies makeup formalities. Its moisturized application with W/S texture makes sleek skin tone while supplying moisture and nutrition at the same time."

This BB cream has a lovely texture + great coverage - which, I guess, is why it's such a popular choice! It's great at covering blemishes and lasts all day long. It helps give a perfectly even skin tone - but be careful not to use so much that it ends up looking mask-like. It also blends in very well but you must buy the correct colour for your skin tone. As you can see in the last photo, Natural Beige is considerably darker than the Light Beige! This BB cream remains to be a favourite of mine and I'll wear both of these colours, depending on the season!

Tony moly cats wink shiny skin bb cream ♡

Hello kittens! I just wanted to share what I thought about this Tony Moly Cats Wink BB Cream because I've heard many good things about it - and let's face it, who wouldn't love the cute kitty packaging? >w<
"Triple function BB cream with advanced covering effect and reasonable price.
Reasonable price and Triple function (Wrinkles, UV Rays, Whitening).
Advanced covering effect for blemish with soft texture.
5 Free – Mineral oil · Paraben · Ethanol · Benzophenone · Tar pigment"

Although this BB cream is only offered in one shade, I believe it will suit many different fair-medium skin tones. It comes in a squeezy tube that is easy to carry around and the product doesn't spill everywhere when you open it. The coverage is a little lighter than some other Asian BB creams I've tried - it's harder to cover up blemishes, but it is also easier to blend into your skin. The texture is soft and silky and doesn't feel like you're putting on a mask. I feel like it doesn't have a whitening effect, but it does look really natural and doesn't leave a grey cast. Some things I didn't like is that it doesn't cover up fine lines and pores very well, and I would also have preferred a higher sun protection than SPF25. Despite these little hiccups, I would probably buy this again!
