BB Creams

Aka Beauty Balms in the western countries and Blemish Balms in Korea, had been around since the 60s. It was used to help patients who had peels or treatment to hide skin redness. Nowadays, BBs are used as a tinted moisturizers or foundation. They provide coverage and skin hydration with added benefits. They are considered "All-in-1" consisting of brightening, hydrating, healing, anti-aging, anti-wrinkles properties. Some BBs even have SPF Sun protections which is important nowadays.

They also helps to conceal pigmentations such as acne marks, and are lighter than foundations. They cut down all the extra steps by putting everything in 1 tube. With prolong usage, BBs can also improve our skin conditions.

CCs (Colour Correction or Colour Control)

CCs contains colour correcting properties, that BBs don't. Other than that, they offer similar benefits. CCs provide better coverage and helps to correct our skin colour. CCs are suitable for people who wants to improve their skin conditions, such as dull, uneven skin and pigmentation.

DDs (Dynamic Do-it-all)

DDs usually will contain botanical oils, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and peptides, suitable for aging skins. If you want to focus on covering spots and diminishing wrinkles at the same time, DD is for you.

Do note that different companies will come out with different types of BBs, CCs or DDs. There may be other added benefits that makes the different companies stand out in the market.

If you are not sure which is better, do ask the skin consultants so that they can recommend you something that best suits your skin.

Lotsa Love,

It was a surprise dinner date (3 weeks ago) as he just SMS me the venue 5 minutes before I off work. When I reach the restaurant, there was a big crowd outside, waiting for tables. Mr Wonderful got 2 seats at the Sushi Counter which is our favorite whenever we dine at a Japanese Restaurant. There's a welcome drink for everybody. Never got to know what drink is that as the servers are always busy. We had a hard time trying to get their attention as everyone is attending to tables.

The chilli padi looks scary, but you don't taste that at all... Wagyu Toro Sushi $7.90 I am not a fan of raw beef, so I've got nothing much to saw about this. But the beef literally 'melts' in my mouth, so make

I'm not young anymore, and I really do look forward to have a child of my own. I lost my child in 2013, and I'm not gonna let that happen again this time. I'm gonna take good care of myself this time and give birth to a healthy baby. Secondly, Mr Wonderful and I had gave up choosing a bto unit this year.
