Initial thoughts / hopes of BRTC bb cream

Ok, so as the title suggests, this post will be about my initial thoughts, worries and hopes of using BRTC bb cream. SO I guess this particular posting will be more for me to document and track my thoughts n stuff, than for you guys. 

But, this section is an important aspect to have in any form of experimentation, so do have a read! =P




My hopes...
Basically what do I hope to achieve? I guess like everyone else, it'd be great to have a clearer complexion, free from blemishes and scarring. 

So I hope that, via using bb cream, it'll help to fade out some of my pre-existing scars, even out my skin tone, especially within my cheek regions.

And if it makes my complexion clearer/more flawless, I'd possibly be able to decrease the amount of makeup products that I currently use --> meaning more sleep time for me and I'd save money too!!! hahahah

----------------------------------------

A post is always more interesting with pictures no? Therefore, I decided to post some pictures of Asian actresses/singers that I like! These females all seem to have great skin, with no blemishes/scarring... Well, none that can be seen anyway.

Is it realistic for me to hope that one day, I'll have skin like theirs???? Hmm.. ohh well, one can always dream can't they!? =P

Ok, first up is Yoon Eun Hye. I first saw her in Princess Hour/Goong, a popular Korean drama. She is one hot chick and she's so versatile, from hot sex kitten to cute and sweet!! Love her!

Rainie Yang. She's a Taiwanese singer/actress. Although, I personally thought she was a bit melodramatic in the drama Devil besides you, I started liking her from then onwards. Tho, Why Why Love (her most recently released drama)... I duno, unfortunately, didn't like it that much.... Honto ni kaiwaii desu ne!?

And one other Taiwanese actress that I like is Ariel Lin. Loved her in the drama, It started with a kiss.. I have to admit, at times, the slow witted Xiang Qing did annoy me, but I guess that shows how good Ariel's acting is!!!! =) Also very cute and sweet.

See what I mean, when I said in my previous post, that if you have pale/fair skin, putting makeup on gives you more colour, otherwise sometimes you look washed out.

----------------------------------------

My initial thoughts...
I don't have many expectations, as there are so many beauty products that promote this and that, but whereas they actually do what they say often remains to be seen sometimes...

  • But I am optimistic that bb cream will live up to its hype and do what it says. Even if it does 'a little'... I think I'll still be satisfied... I don't expect to see a HUGE difference, as oppose to Miao, as my face isn't that bad to begin with...

  • The ONLY thing, I don't really like or want is their whitening properties... coz Im seriously pale/white as it is!!!! Sometimes... I think, Im in the wrong country. lol. As in Aus, people prefer the tan look, whereas in Asia, people prefer the pale look.
 I don't mind having pale skin, I'd actually rather have pale coloured skin than tan myself and age/wrinkles faster due to the sun. But I don't wanna look like a ghost either.. hmm...

  • I've also read that for a few individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin, who used bb cream, it caused them to break out. I'm praying that I'm not one of them but for me, but I think it should b ok for me.. For anyone who does have sensitive skin and/or are worried.. should do a small patch test first!

  • Im also a bit curious... to see if there are any after effects once you stop using bb cream...
 I've heard SKII is really good and improves your skin, but once you stop using it, it makes your skin worse... Dunno if thats true, but since hearing that, I've avoided that product line immediately. 

THO, having said that, has anyone seen their spray on foundation??? It is pricey, coz you gotta buy the electronic spray machine + the actual foundation.. I think it was a couple of hundred buxs, from memory. But its soo cool! And how quickly would that b... just spray it on.. and you're done. lol. If I had the dosh, that is definitely one thing I would buy. *dreams*


Till next time. Take care!
