Yay first post of September! Today I will be reviewing my new bb cream , skin79's vip gold bb cream
it has whitening, UV protection spf 25 PA++, Wrinkle Improvement
My friend got me this from Hong Kong, I was actually hoping she will buy me the hot pink label but maybe I didn't tell her which one I wanted so she bought this one instead? Doesn't matter cos i really like it! :)
From Skin79 North American Site:

I haven't really noticed any whitening to my skin, but than i don't wear makeup everyday, and I'm not really at the stage for wrinkle improvement so I'm not sure about that. For SPF I don't think i have gone any darker - thank goodness I'm already quite tanned!
I love the scent to this bb cream, I've read some reviews saying it has a floral smell well I think it smells bit like wheat. I really enjoy putting skin on my skin lol ( it does say it contains rice grain on the skin79 website so maybe its that which makes it smell nice??)
What I like :
- feels light on the skin, doesn't feel like I'm wearing makeup
- looks natural
- doesn't look cakey
- brightens my complexion
- covers pores on face quite well
- nice scent
- very moisturising, doesn't dry skin out
- easy to apply - just use your fingers!
- blends easily
- the packaging is very sleek
- doesn't go on my glasses
What I don't like:
- oil control not very good, but then this is for dry skin and i have oily skin so its the wrong bb cream for me
- doesn't cover the pores on my nose as well, sinks into them a bit
- doesn't cover spots
- the pump can be a bit unhygienic as some of the product is till there after you pump it out, I saw a fake one on a blog and it can a cover over it , that would make it more hygienic, shame the real one doesn't have it lol
- not very travel friendly, its definitely more of a on your dressing table kind of bb cream cos of its packaging
- can't see how much there is in the bottle :(
- would have to either buy online or in Asia
Will I buy this again?
Yes! but I want to try the hot pink one before I buy this one again because that one has sebum control which is more suited for oily skin.
