for the girls who need the cream to be darker i would recommend mixing in a darker oil free foundation or just using a bronzer to dust all over. with a lot of blending using bb cream alone and using a darker powder over it should work?

can't wait to see what my skin looks like in a month!
thanks for sharing that!

im looking for another BB cream just to compare with my Legere one. I've been breakin out more than usual but not exactly sure if its due to the BB cream or my period comin!

Have you been breaking out around your chin or your forehead? My facialist says the breakouts on my forehead are from stress and lower face/chin area is hormonal breaking out from having my period...

I just bought a bb cream from the face shop, which is a Korean brand. I will post back later after trying it.

Which one did you buy? I was planning to visit them this weekend because they are so popular with BB cream

Hello everyone!

I read on vivawomen.net what the ingredients are of the bb gold caviar cream from brtc. Two ingredients are marked: Parahydroxybenzoate and Chlorphenesin. I didn't know what these are and I've found out that 'Oxybenzone' could be very harmfull!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxybenzone

So could enyone please check the box of another BB cream (preferrably also from brtc) to see if the ingredient 'Oxybenzone' (or Parahydroxybenzoate)is NOT present? I will need a BB cream with withening effect and preferrably also sunscreen but without this ingredient!!

Thanks everyone!

Skinfood which is a Korean skincare/cosmetic line is very good! They have a BB cream and I think you can buy it up on the bay. It has mushroom extracts in it.

(It's not sold in the US, only in Taiwan, Korea Singapore and I think maybe Thailand).

I given up on BB creams since last week.

In the past 2 months, I've used 3 diff BB creams & they all broke me out & made my face very oily.

I used:

Legere Multi White BB
Skinfood Mushroom BB
Hanskin Gold Caviar BB

These work wonders for other girls but for me , not so much!

I'm very happy with my new Korres Wild Rose foundation (Sephora)

Parahydroxybenzoate is actually paraben, I believe. It's very common in skincare and makeup. If you look at the ingredients, most likely there will be some form of paraben. Paraben MIGHT be linked to breast cancer, but then you have to look at the fact that not all women who have used these products (and they're almost everywhere) with paraben in them have breast cancer either.

thanks for this thread. My aunt in Asia recently talked about how great this is, but I haven't been able to find it in Asian stores here in the US. I will definitely look up the brand names in this thread on ebay and see how it goes.

I hate how light it makes a person's face. There are logs which the owner is wearing it, and it just looks like a mask.

Probably great for people with lighter skintones, but anyone darker is still sh*t outta luck.

i've been using the Skin Food Aloe BB Cream for more than a year now. Can't live without it. it gives a nice solid coverage but still looks natural.
The best part it's only 17-20$ on ebay. So much better than what i previously invested on other brands that costs at least 30+ for liquid foundation.

Fannache, a Korean brand, (a new cosmetic line that promotes an "organic complex") has a line of BB cream as well, for a resonable price of $28. It's for normal to oily skin and it leaves your face smooth. Also, it has sunscreen in it! That's why Koreans have flawless skin...they avoid the sun!
You might have better luck going to Korean grocery stores because they usually have kiosks of make-up stands, etc.
