Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals B.B Cream - My favourite BB Cream

Name of Product: Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals B.B Cream


The Product Claims:

"Our Instant Skin Perfecting Cream is a perfect blend of 8 mineral ingredients. The unique earth colour shade instantly improves and perfects your skin:

1) Brighten skin: visible whitening effect

2) Covers imperefections: reduce the appearance of pores, skin redness disappears

3) Moisturisers + Protects: all day hydration + helps to protect skin from UV rays and free radicals"

My Review:

1st Part

Basically, this B.B Cream promised to help achieve 3 effects (as above): brighten, covers and moisturises+protects. And, in my opinion, this tiny tube of product actually delivers what it promised!

1) Brightening Effect: This B.B cream does a really good job of brightening my skin tone. It really add radience to my skin w/o making it look frosty. However, the downside is that the effect is not long lasting. The brightening effect will actually wear off after a couple of hours. I did a mini experiment and found out that the brightening effect can be prolonged by setting the B.B cream with some loose powder/ pressed powder.

2) Coverage: This skin perfector has fairly decent coverage for a B.B cream. It definitely helps to reduce the appearance of redness but it's not so helpful when it comes to covering up pores. If I have to rate its coverage upon 10, I would give it a 7.

3) Moisturising Effect: Definitely not a very moisturising product in my opinion. If you are looking for a B.B cream for a dewy look, then this Maybelline B.B cream is definitely not for you. This product will give you a "matte" glow instead of a dewy shine. I'll definitely advise people with dry skin to apply moisturiser prior ro the B.B Cream.

2nd Part

This B.B Cream is great for people with normal and oily/combination skin in my opinion. It actually enables my complexion to stay matte for a long period of time. Even my T zone area remained oil free after several hours of wear. I really like the formulation of this B.B Cream because it's not oily at all and the cream feels very light on my skin. The product has a watery and non-sticky texture and so it spreads VERY easily making application a very easy task. Plus, it's absorbed into my skin very quickly and I have yet to observe any sliding effects whatsoever.


Would I buy it again: Yes, I would!

全新的pekuma

四月十二日是pekuma的AGM，而我也以多票数成为了第一副主席。
接手后有很多事都必须由我们自己去解决了，以前都有添豪和Liks的帮忙，但现在已不能了。
看回liks做的短片真的另我有点感触，原来一年里大家曾为同样的活动付出了那么多。
fea nite, career path 真的令我学到了很多。
认识他们真的是我的荣幸。
接下来的我们是否也可以做的像他们那样好吗？ 还是可以比他们更好。
好开心那天下午和garrick谈了很多关于pekuma的未来
原来我们并没有看错人 选错主席
他原来也有认真地规划未来
不可缺少的I Week和fea night
每学期一刊的juniornomist，更多不同的新内容
全新的ECON DAY在KPS，各种不同的活动，讲座与展览
希望这一切将会一一实行。

丧礼

昨晚出席了大姨婆媳夫的丧礼，在那儿碰见了很多不大熟悉的亲戚。
大家都是给面子老人家才会抽空出席的，年轻的一辈大多数都不大联络了，也不在乎了。
我更加年轻，更本没人认识我，大姨婆也用了几秒钟才想起她有这么一个侄孙。
****
死者大约40+岁，好像是位医生。
由于患有乳癌，昨天突然病发就离开了。
看见死者的丈夫缅怀手机里与他妻子在两星期前拍下的合照，真的令人惋惜。
未来真的是未知数，真的要孝顺父母，享受人生。

A packed week for CP2011

Last week was really busy..
Busy with studies?? No.. Its busy with Career Path 2011.
Pekuma had taken over the opportunity to be the organising club from Section Counselling and I was one of the member.
The event was on 22-24 March 2011 at DTC.
Although I was interested in finding the participation of company, I did not join that sales & marketing department. I am under Liks in finance department.
Anywhere, I do enjoyed the preparation time I spent with them.
However, due to someone fault, we had to spent time and energy to do some 'sticker' on the program book. Suppose there was higher officer that did the checking before approving it, dunoe how the people do their work and cause this mistake. Its not one or two mistakes, but its total 11 mistakes in the printed book.
There was also people that acting, ordering and complaining us since she got that little power as the assistant of Pn Nisma. yeah, its MElody Teoh- second yr account student that is pro in changing face to different people. Black face to us and smiling face to Pn and companies' people. Damn her..
I did make many new friends there. just not sure will we say Hi when meet up later?
And one more, I took many many Nestle goodies home.
20 Chicken stock in botols, milo, teh tarik, maggie mee, glasses and note books.
hahaha.. I did not even step in lecture hall last whole week.
Anywhere, its all end.. I still left 2 more weeks to go and i still did not touch on studies. Every time plan to do continuous study but just end up rush revision in study week.
This is how the life of student in University.. Haha

证书重要吗？？

今天去了hep问关于我们pekuma下届大选的手续后，有知道了另一个秘密
原来pekuma只有四个正式的最高委员-主席，副主席，秘书，财政
而第二主席和我这副秘书并不被校方承认了
换句话说我并不会得到由校方发出的证书了
证书其实重要吗？？
虽然并不是很重要，但想到为pekuma付出了那么多却连少少一张证书都没有
有点不甘心叻。。
