Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream-Review

Hello everyone! I've got a great product review for you today and that product is the Perfect Cover BB Cream!!

BB stands for blemish balm. It is a liquid foundation made in Korea. As it says on the packaging it is supposed to "lighten the skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability". It also "prevents skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties".
I have been using this on and off for 2-3 years and I have to say this is one of my favorite cosmetic products! It really does improve the look and feel of my skin. As I believe I have said in previous posts, I used to get acne and still get occasional small bumps on my skin. BB Cream really does help to reduce these bumps and make my skin soft. This cream comes in 4 different shades:  #13 Milky Beige, #21 Light Beige, #23 Natural Beige, and #31 Golden Beige. I know four shades doesn't seem like much, but it is an improvement from the only two shades they had when I first started buying this. I buy the #21 shade and it seems to work well for me. Here I have it swatched and blended:

It applies smoothly and I would say the coverage isn't really full. It seems to me to be closer to medium coverage. I suppose it's kind of like a tinted moisturizer but with more pigment. It has SPF 42, so it definitely protects the skin effectively from harmful UV rays. It smells AWESOME! I have never had a foundation that smells this good.
Overall this product is great and I would definitely recommend it. It lives up to its claims of helping blemishes and its anti-aging properties, it has decent coverage, and it smells good. The only problem I have with it is that it is not offered in more shades, but hopefully that will be something that is expanded in the future.

Life Streams

 Today's eye look is inspired by the Final Fantasy VII logo.

FF7 was one of my favorite RPGs that I've played and its logo is one of my faves among the series.Fantastic characters, fantastic music, fantastic battle system... I just love it all around. So here is my interpretation!

The Breakdown
Too Faced Shadow Insurance for primer
Alice from the Urban Decay Alice in wonderland palette on the inner 2/3 of the lid
Absolum from the same palette on the middle of the lid
Nite Owl from Kat von D in the outer corner and along lower lash line
Baudelaire from Kat von D above the crease and in the inner corners
Urban Decay 24/7 eye liner
Revlon Doubletwist mascara

Lancome La Base Pro Primer Review

I recently went scouring for a good face primer and after much looking around, decided to get the Lancome La Base Perfecting Makeup Primer Smoothing Effect. The website claims: "Lancôme’s exclusive Elasto-Smooth™ technology refines skin’s texture and diffuses light to visibly reduce imperfections with a satiny-soft finish. Makeup glides on effortlessly and color stays truer and more vibrant for that right-off-the-runway, air-brushed look that lasts until you take it off." It is also an oil-free product, which is great for me because I have combination oily skin.
Here is a picture of the bottle:

It has a pump that works nicely to control how much product you want to get out of the bottle. I would say less is more with this primer. You don't need much to get your smoothing effect.

It is a nice clear, smooth-feeling formula. It does glide on very easily. I've been using this for a few weeks now and it does really make a difference when I wear it under my makeup. My foundation glides on easier and lasts longer, my face looks a bit more even. I've also noticed that this primer acts as a matifier for my skin. After I put it on my face isn't shiny and the oil is decreased.

I bought this primer at Macy's for $42. I know it's a bit pricey but I feel that a good primer is worth the money. The bottle is also a decent size, so it will last a good while. My opinion is to definitely check out this primer, because it has absolutely helped me! I hope this has been helpful.
