Dr. Jart Silver Label BB Cream

I decided to do a review of the Dr. Jart Silver Label BB Cream I have for my friend instead of just describing to her in short what I thought about the BB cream. This way I can share with everyone too. :)

Details:

- SPF 35 / PA ++

- Whitening (will eventually whiten your skin if you wear it daily/often enough)

The tube is a pretty good size. It's 50 ml, but you only need just a pea-sized amount or less each time for good coverage, so it seems like it will last for a long time.

There is no overwhelming smell. The smell is very light, and very bearable. It is unnoticeable unless you really are looking for the smell of the BB cream from the tube or on your hands when applying. In my opinion, the smell is even lighter than most skincare products! It's nice.

The coverage is very good. I only spread a light layer of the BB cream over my face and it already gave me the results I wanted. If I wanted a complete full coverage, I could have used more BB cream, but it would also likely take longer to oxidize. (I learned the hard way that BB creams need time to oxidize. If you don't give the BB cream some time to oxidize, it will not match your skin tone at all and will be usually too light for your skin!) With this coverage, the BB cream still doesn't really cover up my dark panda eye circles, but that's okay... I have really dark eye circles from lack of sleep, haha. The BB cream did, however, cover up almost everything else.

Before and after applying the Dr. Jart BB cream. Before is on the left, with all my noticeable blemishes and red spots circled. That was taken immediately after washing my face with cleanser and applying a moisturizer with SPF. After is on the right, where almost everything is covered up, yay! You can even see that my beauty marks or whatever are also slightly faded thanks to the BB cream.

Just a pic to show just how nice and even the BB cream made my skin! I don't even mind showing the full size pic because everything is so well covered. :) I even look healthier in this pic, haha!

Overall - ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♡ - Easy to dispense from the tube, no scent, good coverage, feels light, doesn't take long or need tools to apply (I just used my fingers), not oily, only complaint is that it takes 1-2 times to get used to how much product to dispense and learn how long it takes for the BB cream to oxidize properly -> wasted product!

I will definitely be using this BB cream more as well in the future!

Thanks for reading! ♥

Day 11-16

As promised, a picture of the truffles I made for Valentine's day. :) My first time making these... I really want to find a better recipe next time! The one in the back is coated with chocolate shell and then drizzled with melted butterscotch ♥

Day 11. I was sad because I was so tired! So much work lately...

I skipped pictures for day 12-13 because I pretty much wore the same thing: long sleeve shirt + high school gym shorts. Lazy weekend coding marathon outfit, haha.

Day 14. Tried a little harder todayy.

Day 15. Yay boots! I almost forgot about these...

Day 16. Really, really, didn't feel like dressing up because I'm feeling super sick, but I had to look presentable for my first day at work..

Nice outerwear + flats save me every time!

Fly Like A G6, Bitch

This mashup rocks my world. I am in LOVE with Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, and this mashup is just amazing. I had to share. :)

Day 9. Button down, denim skirt, kneesocks, and mary janes. I want me a photog. :B Or a tripod.

Like the mashup? :) Comment and/or share the wealth!

More Nail Polish and a Matte Finisher

Day 8. Augh, terrible, lazy, cop-out outfit today... :( I'm dressed like for summer, and it's supposed to be winter!

2 more makeup orders came in today! 3 $OPI polishes (left to right): Club Queen Scene, Rumba Romance, and Handpicked for Me. The one on the left? Rock & Republic Matte Finisher from a HauteLook.com sale!!! So exciting!! It's so amazing. I instantly had to mattify the $OPI Teal We Meet Again I'm wearing.

NotW! Yeee.

Base color: Sephora by O.P.I. Teal We Meet Again (2 coats)

Top coat: Rock & Republic Essie Clearly Matte finisher (1 coat)

On ring finger: Sephora by O.P.I. Flurry Up Top Coat (1 coat)

Isn't it gorgeous??? It made me like Teal We Meet Again even more. I also added an "accent nail" by just using $OPI Flurry Up top coat and then the matte finisher again. I LOVE both top coats, haha! Worth all of my $$. I'm dying to try E.L.F.'s version of the matte finisher, but it's always out of stock. Has anyone tried E.L.F.'s matte finisher?

Just showing everything from my haul today. The 3 polishes, matte finisher, and the Valentine's Bare Escentuals free gift from Sephora! It came with a full-sized brush and what looks like a full-size of the blush/bronzer duo. Can't wait to try everything! I always love getting the Beauty Insider emails and their free codes. :) I'm slowly making my way to 500 points with the help of friends and group orders~

Day 7

Flew back to LA today~ My shirt was so long it made me look like I wasn't wearing pants...

Just one more week and I'll be done swatching my $OPI holiday set! I am so behind! I have 3 4 makeup orders coming in.... My first of the 3 4 came today: the 100-color E.L.F. palette! I nabbed this for $10 a little while ago but haven't been able to use it because a lot of the eyeshadow pans fell out/broke during shipping...so I emailed E.L.F. about it and they shipped a new palette to me! Wow! I'm surprised they didn't ask for the old one back. I will be testing this out later this week. Thanks to Vivi for showing me her palette during winter break! ♥

Me being a creeper behind my 2(!!) 100 eyeshadow palettes. You can kind of see the broken/loose pan at the top of the front palette. :( It's definitely still useable, just a couple pans loose and a couple colors broken.

My other two three orders are a Sephora order, including 3 new polishes and that Valentine's Bare Escentuals deluxe sample from Sephora, a Rock and Republic matte top coat from HauteLook.com, and a Nars Orgasm nail polish (how could I forget??).

Would anyone be interested in me doing a giveaway for the slightly-broken E.L.F. palette? I would of course include other brand-new, non-broken things too. :P

Day 6

Simple and lazy....

Went to my aunt's house today for a late Chinese New Year lunch. Didn't really feel like dressing up, so cloth pants, t-shirt, and jacket, yay!... So lazy! Lunch was yummy, and we had the usual Asian!fighting-for-the-bill. Except...this time, since we know the restaurant owner, we were fighting with her! Haha! Man she almost didn't let us pay! Craziness. Only in Asian families. Had my dad help play photog today to save the world from my terrible mirror-photo skills.

Thinking of starting a video review/YouTube channel.... Hm!

No Jeans February!

Hey everyone! My friend is doing No Jeans February and I thought it would be a good chance for me to join in and attempt to break away from my daily t-shirt+jeans routine! Also doing it for someone who doesn't like jeans... For you I boycott jeans for 1 month! ♥ :)

I totally wish I had the nifty slideshow thing that Tumblr has.. Or an LJ cut. (LOL too many blogging sites!) Alas, I will just post pics hereee. I started on the 1st so here's my backlog from then. Sorry I took all these by myself using a mirror! I wiiiish I had a photog to follow me around all day and take pics for me, hah.

Ahh, you all see my weirdo face for the first time...*hides*

Feb. 1st - cheating a bit using cloth pants..

Feb 2nd - Wearing my zipper leggings! I need more long shirts for this..

Feb 3rd - Finally trying more! Traveling outfit to fly home in. :)

Feb 4th - Super lazy outfit for doing homework at home...

Feb 5th - Fighting date outfit ;) Hehe, just wanted to wear my boots again!

Good luck to everyone else who is also doing this!

Oh, and today/yesterday....I spontaneously ordered a Nars Orgasm nail polish from eBay..... Random splurging, augh! I'm really excited to get it though! $12.99 with shipping instead of $17 from Sephora (pre-shipping, geez!). I need to not buy any more nail polish, my goodness. I have 3 hauls coming in this week........ Lots of posting to do!
