[Advertorial] Bio Essence Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream (8-in-1)

Posted on by

I first got know of this amazing product is actually from Taiwan Beauty Show. From then on, I am amazed by their results. I have been using BB cream in general for about 2 years. Due to my work, I do not need to makeup to work but I do like to have a better natural look. I will usually used BB cream to cover my face from breakouts as well as used it as my sunscreen.

So what is BB cream?
BB Creams (Blemish Balm Cream) originated from Germany (I used to think it originated from Korea) and was initially prescribed by dermatologists to patients who had undergone laser skin treatments to soothe redness and cater to their sensitive skin. The trend of using BB Creams caught on in Korea when celebrities started using them to create a natural and dewy finish. The use of this multi-purpose wonder-cream is a sizzling-hot beauty trend, particularly in Asia, and has helped many girls streamline their beauty regime.

Like I mentioned earlier, I used BB cream as my sunscreen + “pimple cream” + foundation. However, nowadays BB cream do not only have effects or function like these. BB Creams now have multiple skincare benefits which include whitening, sun protection, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, moisturizing while providing coverage for the skin. It gives a natural and flawless finish, similar to how Korean celebrities look.

With its multiple functionality and convenience, women can now cut down on her makeup application time without compromising on looking good. It only takes 1 product and a mere 10 minutes to put on moisturizer, sun screen and foundation all at once. Grooming gets much easier with the use of BB Creams.

Bio Essence have release 3 types of BB creams to cater to different people and usage. Aqua BB Cream (Blue one) for moisture, Bio Platinum BB cream (Sliver one) for whitening and the Bio Multi-effect BB Cream (Purple One) for Coverage.

Today review will be on Bio Essence Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream. I call it the 8-in-1 cream with SPF 25 coverage. It has 8 benefit in 1 bottles. (Concealer, Sun Block, Skin Repair, Moisturizer, Nourishment, Oil Control, Skin Whitening and Reduce Wrinkle and fine lines). I personally find that this BB cream contains the best coverage in the Bio Essence range of BB cream. It is a excellent makeup base and foundation for me.

In a survey done by HK Fashion and Beauty Magazine among 6 other competitive BB Creams, the Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream came up tops in terms of being the BB Cream that adheres most closely to the skin for flawless coverage.

So now is testing on my face. I have been using this for a few days. I feel that Bio Multi-Effect BB Cream is more towards a pink shade. It gives me natural radiant and glow on my face without looking too fair. Since it has very good coverage and shade on my skin, I simply used it after my toner and as my moisturizer, sun block and foundation for day use.

Directions as stated in their box:
At the final step of your skincare regime, squeeze an adequate amount of content and apply evenly on your face. Pat lightly to avoid uneven patches.

Usage tips:

Application tips from Beatrice

In order to let you compare the BB cream, I applied half of my face with BB cream and the other half was left without anything.

Comparision with the BB cream. This Bio Multi-Effect 8 in 1 BB Cream has the best coverage. For ladies that do not makeup and want a flawless skin. I strongly recommend this BB cream. I really like this for my daily use without any makeup.

Do stay tunned for my next post on Bio Essence Bio Platinum BB Cream next week. :)

Nothing to do

Posted on by

I am thinking to backtrack my post now but I can’t. I am thinking of uploading the photos of cozycot birthday bash, but I can’t too. I dun have my laptop with me. I can’t do any work. So I decided to post a short post of facebook.

I am now relying on my contractor to get the job done. Okay, I shouldn’t sound this way but I am really a noob when it comes to building road. I learned a lot from this project but I still do not want to stay a minute here. My client has been nice but my contractor is bad… I got a lot of shit from them but nowadays I tend to look things from the other side. I start to tell myself that this is part of my learning but I do complain as I am still human. So Bing and kk will usually be the unlucky ones. :) Oops….

The good news is I am going to another school project next week. I wonder how come I always got into site that belong to government jobs. Actually I must say I have been slacking quite sometime since the finish of the CBP works, I practically am only co-ordinating my contractor’s job. But I find it hard to control them. I ask them must follow method statement (means steps of working in layman terms) 1-2-3-4, they will always do 1-3-2-4 or 1-2-4-3. Then I will always have to answer their shit. Hmm… I got so pissed with them that I told them, if you want to do any funny business, I will on hold your payment. Of course, I mean business…

So I shall see how they are able to finish by next week as their boss promise to their boss.

Best of all, I can get to meet Tiphaine again. This time she will be giving mask for me and I will have a special gift for her too for all the help in the Vichy Contest. I think Cynthia and Irene will be coming too. But I wun be bringing the Naruko to them though. :)

All seats are going off fast so if you are interested, do sign up as cozycot member and register for their talks. Just to add on, I really ♥ CozyCot because as a celebration for their birthday, they give out a lot of Haagen Daaz Ice cream. All u need to do is “like” them at their facebook, post “CozyCot ♥ Ice Cream!”in the forum and facebook and printscreen then email to icecream@cozycot.com to enjoy free ice cream.

I was expecting to eat the Belgium chocolate ice cream. But the voucher can only be used to redeem Haagen Daaz Promegrenate with White Peach flavor ice-cream. I was a bit sad initially but the ice cream is also very nice too and from my understanding, this flavour is actually limited edition. So it might only get to eat this season. In addition, it actually a sorbet (Ice cream without milk, taste a bit like those fruit blended). The taste reminded me of the red China 仙渣 slices which I ate when I was a little girl. It is not very sweet and not very sour, the taste is better like by ladies. My SO feels that ice cream without milk just taste funny. :)
