Crazy: Making my Own CC (Correct & Care) Cream

I am leaving for another grueling 2 years at the University so I started packing my face stuff first (duh!) As you guys see, I have quite a number of bb creams at home and since I only have one face, finishing them up seems to be N years later... And if I don't use them, no one's gonna touch them at home.

Well I have these small jars at home (sample sized products) so I thought to hmm... make my own CC cream! (I am also gonna wash up my cushion BB after I've finished it, and then refill it with my other BB creams at home lol) My version of CC cream will be Correct & Care, which is somewhat a lighter BB cream with more skincare instead of normal bb creams.

I know what I like: Some coverage (to even out skin tone), very very very lightweight, and non sticky. And not smelly.

I whipped out 3 products to mix them up:

• O'slee Aqua Medi (for that refreshing, fast absorbing finish)
• 3W Clinic Intensive UV Sunblock Cream (Urmm to be a mediator for my BB cream later)
• Missha Signature Wrinkle Filler BB Cream (to even out skin tone)

and a special guest...NARUKO's Narcissus DNA Repairing Night Gelly (Just a dime size...for fun!)

The ratio is something like 2:2:1 (Oslee:3W Clinic:Missha) but I cannot be sure cuz I kinda mix it up bit by bit.

My mixer is a metal chopstick hahahah!

First batch: Airy, souffle kind of mixture

Testing out the first batch

No stickiness! With a hint of brightening going on

Going crazy with my cc cream

Tadah: the end result! Super light weight fast drying CC cream! And I shall name it The Noobz CC Cream. Will report back after using it. 

A creamier but still lightweight final mixture

Mini Review: Missha Signature Wrinkle Filler BB Cream in No 21 [Sample]

This is a mini review of a sample sachet I got from one of my purchases from Qoo10. I finally got to use it when I travelled to Bangkok a few days ago.

I am on the fence on BB creams and personally I think that there are too many tinted products camouflaging as "BB creams", when they neither have skin improving ingredients nor function.

So this Missha's BB Cream is pretty expensive and touted as one of their star products so let's check it out!

*note that I wore this on its own, without base/powder whatsoever.

Texture: Light and easy to blend/spread

Blending: Easy to spread on skin, however the colour does not match my skintone

Finish: Dewy

Effect: Really smoothes out my complexion! I love how it doesn't look cakey on my nose.

Waterproof: No

Staying Power: Hmm. Maybe 3 hours before slipping off bit by bit? But it actually stayed on pretty well to me, because I walked outside in Bangkok for the whole day.

Oiliness: It didn't feel too oily to me, it was just nice as I have dry skin. I tried wearing this in an air-cond room on a separate occasion and I felt my skin turned shiny in 4-5 hours. So nope, not for oily skin.

I actually saw improvement in my skin after using this! Previously my skin look mellow, but this BB cream actually helped making my skin look healthier just after 2 uses. How good is that?

The good: Doesnt accentuate my dry spots, good healing properties, doesn't sink into fine lines

The bad: Not for oily skin, on the pricey side
