Review: Skin79 Diamond Collection

Hi Ladies,
after trying 4 sample sizes of the Skin79 BB cream, I've decided to purchase a full size of their Diamond The Prestige BB cream and UV Screen BB pact. They both came with a small sample of the Hot Pink Super Plus BB and VIP Gold Super Plus BB.


I will start off with the BB cream. Diamond The Prestige BB cream has the following properties:

  • For normal type skin
  • SPF protection
  • Whitening features
  • Sebum control
  • Wrinkle improvement
  • Glitter, shimmer (very subtle)

This BB cream comes in an airless, clean and sterile container with a pump dispenser to control amount of cream you want to use. Do note that BB cream is not suppose to replace your foundation. BB cream should be part of your daily skincare routine and not makeup routine. It gives a very light coverage, I would say lighter coverage than a tinted moisturizer. In my case, I would use half a pump to cover my entire face. A little do go a long way. I would pump it on the back of my hand and dot it all over my face, then pad it onto the skin to blend it out.

Here are the swatches of the BB cream... (I'm NC20 skin color)

Semi-blended

Completely blended

Onto the UV Screen BB pact.

The powder is nicely protected with a clear plastic. You close the plastic cover and the puff sits on top of it. There's also a big mirror, which makes it very convenient to apply it on-the-go. I would normally use this powder in the morning before I leave the house and with no touch-ups I'm good for the whole day. 

This pact offers:
  • SPF 22 PA++
  • Sebum control
  • Keeps skin moisturized
Here are the swatches of the pact...

Completely blended

I would totally recommend these 2 products to anyone who has skin with excessive oils and needs little coverage. These 2 products together gives a very natural and oil-free finish to the face. 

I haven't use these products long enough to see the whitening effect on my little brown spots under my eyes (due to sun expose), but all the other properties in the product is enough for me to love these products! 

Have you tried any Skin79 products? Which ones and how to do you like them?

Till next time...~

Haul: Skin79 BB Cream & Nail Stickers

Hi Beauties,
A month or so ago I purchased a set of Miniature BB creams from Skin79 via eBay. I got it for less than $10CAD shipping included plus 2 small samples. I've been testing all of them it's been a few weeks now and I'm ready to give you swatches and reviews of these 4 mini products.
  1. Skin79 VIP Gold Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Function
  2. Skin79 Hot Pink Super+ Beblesh Balm Triple Function
  3. Skin79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm - Diamond Collection
  4. Skin79 Luminous Pearl Beblesh Balm

Here's a size comparison with my OPUS card. The tubes are very small and contains 5mL of products in each tubes. They're small sample size tubes that would last you almost a week if used everyday.

Here are swatches of the BB creams in the same order of all previous pictures. As you can see, the VIP Gold has greyish undertones along with the Hot Pink one (First and third ones).

When blended into the skin, all products matches my skin color perfectly (NC20). The only thing that cannot be seen from the pictures is that the Luminous Pearl contains glitters, which I really don't like on my face.

Out of all these 4 Skin79 BB creams, I debated on the Hot Pink or the Diamond The Prestige. These are the only two that had sebum control. Due to the grey undertone in the Hot Pink tube I went with the Skin79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm - Diamond Collection. All 4 product has a light coverage, which is what I'm looking for. The Prestige BB cream gives a very soft dewy look with a very natural coverage. This one does contain some shimmer, but so subtle that it's almost unnoticeable.

Skin79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm - Diamond Collection (taken from the Skin79 website):
  • For all normal skin
  • SPF protection
  • Whitening features
  • Sebum control
  • Winkle improvement
  • Glitter, shimmer
I've already ordered a full size bottle of Skin79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm - Diamond Collection and along with that I also ordered from the same line the BB pact! Will do a review of them when I receive them.

Onto the Nail stickers I purchased from eBay...



These were all under $1.50CAD. I even got one at $0.18CAD and they all had free shipping. Getting these stickers on eBay is sooo much cheaper than in stores! You girls should really check it out!

Hope you enjoyed this haul/review! ^^
