I have the same BB Creams in the same places in both pictures. They were taken with the same camera and blitz right after eachother, but they still look different, so I wanted to show both.

On the left side of my forehead I'm wearing L'oreals BB Cream, but I didn't blend it all the way because that would make it way to dark. On the right side of my forehead is Garniers BB Cream. On the top of my right cheek is MUAs BB Cream, while I have the Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream on the lower part of my chin and jawline. On my chin I have the Holika Holika BB Cream and the Gold Skin79 BB cream is on my lower left cheek and jawline. On the rest of my cheek is the Light Pink BB Cream, also from Skin79.
I used the last BB Cream, the Pearl Louminous from Skin79 as a bit of a highlight on my nose and cheekbones.



I quite like all of these BB Creams, but the MUA BB Cream is by far the hardest to blend. The Aqua Petit BB Cream is a great color for me, but it is a little hard to work with on my normal skin, I think it would definetly work better on people with oily or combination skin. It does work nicely when I'm wearing a primer, but it does need a little bit of work.

The rest of the BB Creams are really good, and I do like them all for different reasons. I love the finish and texture of the L'oreal BB Cream, but it is a little too dark. I have the light-shade as I mentioned, and when I compared it to the medium it was actually more orange. I'm seariously looking into getting the fair-shade online since I like the formula so much.

Garnier's BB Cream has a very dewy finish so I have to set it with a powder, but it is good for everyday. I really want to try the oil-free version which I've heard is great, a little lighter in shade and also a lot longer lasting. A complete different formula than this. I like this too, though.

All of the Skin79 BB Creams are pretty much the same texture except the one in the silver packaging which is a luminous BB Cream with shimmer in it. You can clearly see the shimmer in the swatches above. For me it's not a good BB Cream as I don't like a shimmery face, but it is a really beautiful and natural highlighter!

As with the Overview - My Foundations-post there is a video to go with this post, and I will link it here when it's uploaded.

If you'd like a full review of any of these BB Creams then let me know and I shall do that as quickly as possible =) Thanks for reading, and remember to follow my blog!

Wishlist: After Project 30 Pan

I thought I'd show you some of the things I want to get after I've finished my Project 30 Pan. The ELF Mineral Blushes in Coral and Peachy I as well as the ELF Cream Blushes in Vixen and Tease were also here, but I cheated and got them bofore I should have because they were on sale.

I want the ELF Lipstain in Crimson Crush. I believe this is $2/£2.50.

I also want the ELF Matte Lip Color in Rich Red. I already have the one in coral and I quite like it. These are so much easier to use than regular lipstick! These are $3/£3.50.

This is the MUA Matte Perfect Primer, and I believe this is a silica-primer. This is £4, and it contains more than the ELF Mineral Infused Primer which I love and have used up, so I don't have it right now. If this is cheaper, contains more product and have the same effect + keeping my skin matte, this would be great! 

The MUA Power Pouts are also really pretty. I want the shades Justify, Runway and Broken Hearted. These are £3 I think.

This is my MUA as well, and it's the primer from their Undress Your Skin-line. This is £5, and I really want to try it.

I've heard a lot of great things about this, so I think I'll pick this up as well! This is £5.


This I know I love! A L'oreal MUA put it on my when it released and it's great! It keeps matte and it has a nice coverage for everyday. I think this is around $10 in the US, but correct me if I'm wrong. Here in Norway it is about NOK 180, which is the same as $30. 

I also want some brushes. I want the ELF Studio Blush Brush, ELF Contour Brush, ELF Flawless Concealer Brush, ELF Angled Blush Brush and the ELF Small Stipple Brush. All the ELF Brushes I mentioned are £3.75. From MUA I want the Blending and Shadow Brush (£1.95). ELF has so many more brushes to choose from, but I think they're lacking a good blendingbrush, so I'll get that from MUA. Hopefully it'll work out good! Maybe I'll get the MUA Stippling Brush (£3) as well so I can compare it to the one from ELF. 

Also from MUA I'd like their Makeup Train Case, but that's £30 + shipping, so I don't think I'll get that unless it's on supersale...
