Video from IMATS in London 2011.

It was super lovely to be there! My day consisted of the seminaries, it was hard to pick the ones to go to and I didn't have much time for shopping. So many lovely people there was, I especially enjoyed the Hakuhodo booth were everybody was so friendly and nice and the seminare with the founder of OCC. He has now become my new hero. He rocks!! 

First product from Miss Amelie Pale.

This is the first product from the new natural brand Miss Amelie Pale. It's non-toxic, organic and beautifully feminine lip gloss that stains the lip and feels weightless to wear. It's handmade in London and contains organic, natural oils for the most pampering feel. The glass bottle is hand painted with gold for an elegant art deco inspired look.

The brick red colour suits all ladies and is sweetly boho chic. It also contains vanilla from Madagascar. When you lick your lips you'll tase the sweetness!

My Holika Holika video.

Parcel - Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly

I have been waiting to get hold of this BB for a long time! I finally got it and it brightened up my day!

This is the Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly in colour no 1. This brand is rather new and it's created in Korea. I've seen some photos from the shops and OMG. I want to go! The girls working there have the cutest lolita uniforms ever. Ahh... OK, now I let the pictures talk, it's so adorable!! 

This is the box it came in. Looking like a pudding desert! Yummy!

See, even the container is so cute, shaped like a real pudding. It's made out of strong plastic. I want to eat what's inside! 

At this point I'm melting. I love the little witch in the logo.

It comes sealed with a thick metal sheet to make sure all the moisture and freshness will wait for you until you start using it.

You also get a super soft and velvety little chubby sponge for application. I love the little spoon too. It's very helpful and more hygienic to use it.

This BB contains 70% water! I want to dip the spoon and eat the BB with sprinkles on top! It also has a pleasant, very familiar, smell. It's fresh and reminds me of a mixture between flowers and powder.

It comes out very watery, it's such a different consistency compared to a BB cream. It's not thick at all, smooth almost like a serum.

When it blends out it becomes undetectable! All the water get's absorbed by the skin and it leaves your face with a smooth velvet like feel.

I only got it today so I haven't tried it out accept for today when I just had to put it on! I'm sure I'll be doing a review of this BB on my YouTube channel, so hold on until I tried it out a bit more. So for, I'm in love!!

BB cream sample pots!

I got a request from a dear friend of mine to give her a sample of BB cream. I had to choose the one without mineral oil and silicone. I accidentally got the wrong pots, a stack of five, so I decided to fill them with 5 BB creams I have that did not contain these ingredients.

This is the stack I made and I love to see all the different shades to the creams! BB cream does not work like foundation so the colours look different. When you put it on, with fingers, brush or sponge, you should blend it out and wait few minutes for it to merge with your skin tone. As always, not all brands and colours will suite you, this is why it's a big advantage to try it out first. Most creams come in 1 colour however few brands have started to make them in 2 or more shades. Also a BB cream is suppose to cover blemishes so the shades are made in colours to counteract redness. These are all made in South Korea.

Let me list the ones I've put in the sample stack:

Like a block of flats I started from the bottom.

1. Lioele, Triple The Solution BB cream SPF30 Whitening and Wrinkle care. I like this cream for it's rich texture. You can also see it in the pot being rather firm but it melts on the skin and glides on smooth and even. The tone is rather warm and I find the cream to be moisturising but not greasy.

2. Missha, Signature Real Complete BB cream SPF25. This cream is the most natural of them all, contains only natural ingredients. In texture it's much more runny then any of the others in the pots therefor not as opaque. It evens out skin tone and leaves it moisturised and glowing. Great thing about this one is that it comes now in 4 shades! I have the No13 witch is the lightest, very pale. For normal european skin I think No22 would be perfect, No25 if you get a tan and the new addition is No27.

3. L'egere, UV Whitening BB cream SPF 34 Soothing, Moisturising and Anti Wrinkle. This one is also richer in texture and as you can see looks rather dark in the pot. The magical thing with this one is that it blends into the skin morphing together with it and creates the perfect warm shade. One of my favourite ones in all areas accept that the shade is too dark for me, but then again, I'm extremely pale. Great for summer though!

4. Dr Jart, Silver Label Rejuvenating BB cream SPF 35 Whitening. Also a slightly richer texture witch goes on so smooth and even on the skin. The colour matches me very well and covers everything. The Silver Label is for normal to oily skin and it keeps the shine away.

5. Dr Jart, Black Label Detox Healing SPF25 Whitening and Anti Wrinkle. This one is for normal to dry skin and it has a slightly more pinkish tone. Leaves skin moisturised and has a very glowy finish. I love the way it evens out skin tone when you have blemishes and it doesn't cling to dry spots.

I know I personally made this pot for my friend and this post is for her to have a reference while trying them out but I though it might be nice to share with who ever is interested in the BB creams!

A tip. Before you put samples inside sample pots it's good to wipe them with an alcohol solution to disinfect them.
