Etude House Bright Fit, BRTC Jasmine Water, and Holika Holika Petit Moisture BB Creams Review

Hi guys, today I'll be doing a review on three bb creams. Etude House Precious Mineral Bright Fit in W13, BRTC Jasmine Water, and Holika Holika Moisture Petit Bb Cream.

For color comparison , I am NC 15-20 for MAC. I will have photos comparing all three shades at the bottom.

Etude House Precious Minerals Bright Fit in W13:

This line has four shades you can pick from N02, W13, W24, and W15. As you can see I picked the second lightest shade. 
Click/Tap photos to enlarge.

As you can see this product comes in a pump form which gives you more control on how much product you want to dispense. 
I liked that this bb cream has light to medium coverage but it felt like it was obvious that I had makeup on. It also looked matte on my face. I know it's suppose to have a dewy finish but my face looked very flat after using it. However I mixed some of the etude house nymph aura in translucent ( I got as a sample ) with it and it made my face look more dewy and refreshed looking. 

This product contains 60g of product (2fl oz) which is pretty affordable for the price. I got it for 12.19 from ebay from the seller rinishop. Very fast shipping. 

I liked that this had SPF 30 / PA ++ which is perfect for everyday use. It gives good coverage but you can build it up without it looking too cakey. This line of bb cream also has a wider range of shades compared to other bb creams. This bb cream had more of a yellow/warm undertone.

This also is a triple function bb cream which claims to have uv protection, whitening, and anti-wrinkle. 

Rating: 3.5/5

BRTC Jasmine Water:

Most bb creams claim that they oxidize to match a person's skintone, but frankly I don't really believe that for this bb cream. I used the E.L.F clarifying pressed powder to help darken the color a bit. This bb cream did have a pink undertone so it didn't match my skintone that well. 
I used this one more than the other ones because it was moisturizing and helps lighten my skin in preparation for the holika one.I did smell a hint of jasmine. It wasn't so strong that it would make me sneeze. 

This also is has triple functions claiming to whiten, anti-wrinkle, and uv block. I've heard that people did see noticeable results of whitening so I was hoping it would lighten my skin enough so thatI don't   need to use a powder for the Holika bb cream.

Rating: 3.9/5
Price:15$

Holika Holika Moisture Petit:

I liked this one the most becaue it gave me a bright and dewy finish without looking like i used alot of of makeup. This is also very moisturizing but the downside was that it was too light for me.

I was actually surprised at good the coverage was. This formula is pretty thin which is why it feels so natural so it being able to cover my redness was pretty incredible.

The color actually looks like this when you squeeze it out but once you start blending it turns into a lighter color.

There's 5 types of bb cream in this line and I'm looking forward to trying watery and clearing.

Rating: 4 ( 5 if it matched my skin) /5
Price: 6$

Color Comparison:
Oxidized for 30 mins



You can see that the Etude House Bright fit is the darkest out if the three. It oxidized darker on my arm since its significantly lighter than my face but the color for Etude House would fit me the best.

Skin79 Super Plus Bb Cream Pink, Gold, and Orange Swatches

Hey guys, today I'll be swatching the skin79 bb creams. Most Bb creams have several skin benefits, which is why they are so popular in Korea. I have three different bb creams from skin79.

I got sample packets to see which one would be best for my skin type. Personally I like the gold one the most because pink is too cool/pink toned and orange is wayyy too light for me. 

In this photo, the bb creams look super dark because the inside of my arm is very pale. 
However in this photo with flash on. You can clearly see how Skin79 Pink has a grayer and pinker undertone. Skin79 Gold is warmer and a closer match to my skintone. Skin79 Orange is more on the neutral side but it is super light almost borderline white.

Rating:
Pink - 3.5/5
Gold - 4.3/5
Orange - 1/5 ( made me look like a vampire) 

Any questions? Feel free to email me :)
