BB Cream Review - Elianto Miracle White Multiplex BB Cream (SPF 45 PA+++ )

Elianto Miracle White Multiplex BB Cream (SPF 45 PA+++ )

Description Uniquely formulated with arbutin and lavender extracts to function as makeup base, foundation, moisturizer and sun protection, while giving you natural coverage and firm, smooth skin. (50ml)

Price MYR 59.00

Colour 3 shades are available: Soft Beige, Nude Beige and Warm Beige

I bought this during my recent trip to Malaysia. I selected Soft Beige which seems natural with my skin tone NC20. 

I have been using this BB cream for one week and am loving it. I am using this BB cream on its own, without any foundation to test out its effects. The coverage is light, hence it cannot cover up my scars and pigmentation.  However, it evens out the skin for a healthy and fresh look with a slight dewy finish. I think if I want to create a more flawless make up look, I'll have to use a concealer before this BB cream, or lay a foundation over it. The SPF 45 PA+++ is excellent for Singapore's climate and my fair skin. I hope it can prevent new pigmentations from popping out.  It has a faint herbal scent, but quite unnoticeable and bearable. The oil control is quite good for my face, but I have to blot my nose after a few hours. I try to apply MAC Blot Powder to just the nose area. This BB cream doesn't dries out my face or "wrinkles", even after 10hrs in a strong air conditioned room. It doesn't clogs up my pores or causes pimple outbreaks too. Lovely! 

I have added a new favourite to my BB cream collection.

There is also another BB cream from Elianto, Miracle Multiplex BB Cream (SPF 25 PA+). Description Uniquely formulated with lavender extracts to function as a makeup base, foundation, moisturizer and sun protection, while effectively controlling sebum production to give you oil shine-free skin. Price MYR 49.00 I didn't buy this as I am pretty concerned about using "oil-controlling" BB cream after trying out the Dr Jart's BB cream and I prefer the higher SPF.

Dr. Jart Rejuvenating Silver Label BB Cream SPF 35 Review

I caught the craze of BB creams recently, since it is convenient to use in the mornings when I woke up late. I did some internet research through google and bought a few of them to try. I bought the Dr. Jart Rejuvenating Silver Label BB Cream SPF 35 / PA++ from Watson Singapore.

Most reviews commented that this is good for combination/oily skin as it has oil control, with moderate to full coverage. I do agree that this is easy to apply and blend with my fingers. No pimple outbreaks after wearing this for a few weeks. The oil control for my face is quite good, and shine on my nose appear after 4-5hrs. After wearing it on my face for half a day, it seems to dry up my face, not dewy or glow, but wrinkled! I can see the fine lines popping out! My beautician also commented that my face has turned super dry and flaky, and clogged. Erm, it seems that maybe I am better off not wearing this. Tsk, that is such a pity since I may have 2/3 tube left. I have tried to moisturize my face (with Etude House Collagen Moistfull Essence In Primer)
prior to applying this BB cream, but it didn't improve the over-dry and wrinkle condition today. I will try with other moisturizer to test if i can reduce or prevent my face from "wrinkling" up during mid-day.  

My current skin condition
Combination/oily skin (tends to shine at T-zone)
Pitted acne scars with big pores
Mild pigmentation
Sensitive with occasional outbreaks 

Please note that these are my personal opinions, and product performance varies according to individual's skin.
