Too Cool For School BB Foundation Lunch Box #2 Review

Hello everyone~! This time we're back with Too Cool For School BB Foundation Lunch Box in number 2, watery skin. This BB foundation contains SPF 37 PA++. It's really convienient for summer, isn't it?


The BB cream has a very thick texture so you don't have to take a very big amount of it. It also has a plastic spatula to help to take the product out, it makes it more hygenic. 

But still, it's better to use a brush rather than  sticking the spatula onto your face and placing it back to the container to use it for tomorrow. 

The BB cream has a a medium coverage, and it has a very nice scent. This also brightens up the complexion a little bit.

See the difference?


Also, you can pull that ribbon thingy to open the case of the concealer and highlighter! This should be stated as a three in one product.


The concealer covers up the dark circles pretty well as this is more like a cream-based, not as watery as other seperate concealers.

As for the highlighter, it reflects pretty much to every light available and this would give the effect of taller nose! (Use the highlighter on your T-zone). We never really see this type of highlighter.

Overall thoughts:
This BB cream is really suitable for those who likes to travel. It is really compact, no mess! It stays on the skin for a long period of time, maybe a little touch ups after 6 hours. Well overall, we really do recommend this over Etude House's BB cream for summer. Actually, both is comparable. :)

What about the packaging?
Recently i knocked off the bottle and it spilled, so.. really, i wish it was a pump bottle. But the BB cream is fine, though. Its really cute but we found this bottle had nothing similar to a 'lunch box'. Haha!

Texture of BB cream:
Light | Normal | Thick | Heavy

Coverage of BB cream:
Light | Okay | Medium | Thick

Coverage of concealer:
Light | Okay | Medium | Thick

Performance of the highlighter:
Okay | Nice | Good | Great

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream #3 Review

Today we're going to review Etude House's Precious Mineral BB cream. It has 30/PA++ Spf and promotes a brighter-looking skin. It also has an anti-wrinkle and whitening properties. This one is shade number 3 which gives a sheer glowing skin without making your face looks completely white and cakey.



The plastic pump makes it more hygenic to use and you don't have to dab your finger in the container like any other BB creams. It comes with a plastic cap too.


This is the picture before the usage. As you can see, Jiyoon's skin has some acne breakouts, pores and a little bit of redness visible on both sides of her nose. The skin texture was a little bit rough, too. So remember that  not all korean skins aren't as good as you imagine.


 

 


All the pictures are lightened by natural lightning. We did not exaggerate the colour tones and just had whatever it shows, you can prove it :). Even by this BB cream alone, you can have a better looking skin tone, and it even looks smoother in a close up.

Your skin tone really depends on which shade you should choose. Jiyoon's skin tone is more to the oily and yellow-ish type so she could use either shade number 2 or three. The reason why we chose the darkest shade because BB creams will lighten their colours when they are applied to the skin. 





 

Look at how they even up the skin tone? This BB cream is also oil-free so that it wont clog pores. Shade one and two were made for oily and dry skin. So if you have combination skin, shade number 3 is the best for you! 

PROS:
*Gives an amazing coverage, and you'll be amazed by the results!
*You don't need to use foundation or primer as BB cream will cover it all up. It will instantly brighten up the lower eye area too.
*A little amount goes a long way.
*Contains SPF 30 and brightening, anti-wrinkle properties.
*Is stated as one of the famous BB cream and you can find it easily allover Asia. 
*Feels light and has a matte finish.
*Shade 3 is the darkest but it gives you the most concealing properties.
*Acts like a moisturizer for your skin and gives a healthy, glowing shine.

CONS:
*Doesn't really last for long despite the 'All Day Strong' formula.
*Can be a little pricey.
*Caucasions aren't recommended to use this due to the limit color choices for their skin. Not really recommended for pale skin too.


We really recommend this product and this is our all time favorite. We wil, ofcourse, repurchase this in the future. It really compliments the skin tone and moreover, it's literally a 3 in 1 product, plus the benefits! You can purchase this in most online stores, including E-bay. Consider on choosing the right skin tone!

Wait for our next review! Love you guys :) Till next time~
