Legere Water Drop Shiny Pearl BB Cream

The Water Drop Shiny Pearl BB Cream from Legere is at the top of my shopping list now. I for one like my BB cream to be of a thinner consistency as it makes for easier blending. I have tried other BB creams like the BRTC Gold Caviar BB cream and it was horrifyingly thick! Instead of blending the cream into my skin, I had to use pushing motions just to get it in.

I am currently using Etude House's BB Cream


and I use it sparingly for my undereye area as well as other parts of the face that might need extra coverage. It has average coverage (it rhymes!) and I like that the cream is very easy to apply. However, sometimes I am left with a sticky feel.

So today, I sampled the Legere Water Drop Shiny Pearl BB Cream - a mouthful yes?



My verdict?

A must buy.

Why?

1. It has moisturizing benefits. The moment I blended the cream into my skin, a cooling effect was felt, unlike the other thick BB creams.

2. No sticky feel.

3. Rather good coverage.

4. A rather nice fragrance lingers.

5. Great price! Need I say more!! Its only $33 for an entire tube!

Halloween Chic

Don't know what to wear to that Halloween party you've been invited to? You don't have to skip that party because of a wardrobe malfunction. The Suite Chic understands that not everybody can wear a nurses' uniform or dress up in she-devil costume and look sexy and hot at the same time.

However, The Suite Chic says anyone can pull off this look - Shu Uemura fantasy lashes teamed with a simple black dress, black leggings and red pumps. For extra head-turning action, pin a black veil to your hair so that it slants sideways over a part of your face, adding an aura of mystery. Entrance granted, but be prepared to talk about those rad eyelashes of yours.


Shu Uemura Limited Edition fantasy lashes are made from real feathers. With exotic spotted pheasant, vibrant gold and jewel-tone peacock to choose from, the sky's the limit this Halloween.
