I've tried finding out for myself and I've contacted one of the ebay sellers but am not getting very far.

In short I like the Garnier bb cream in 'fair' however I hear from MN that the Korean ones are cheaper and better and anyway I like to try new stuff. So I've looked at the Korean ones and I am very confused about what to buy.
I am 43 with dry skin and Garnier fair is fine for colouring, I would appreciate any guidance for a good Korean bb cream please.

I am 43 and have Skin 79 Super plus BB from Korea. Ordered and delivered in 4 days.

Is rather fab.

Does that come in different shades and do you need moisturiser as well?

Just looked at ebay and there's pink, gold and orange and I can't see what the differences are.

This is the gold one and I don't need moisturiser or loose powder, just slap and go, really.

Excellent, that's what I wanted to hear, slap and go....

The dispenser is vair nifty too. Comes out at the side when you push on the top. The vendor sent me a few samples of the shining pearl one and the cleanser. Hang on and I'll try out the pearl one.....

The pearl one works well, covers fine, I like it.

But is a bit shiny on me, prefer the gold one as goes on matte.

Managed to order before the battery on the laptop gave up-phew! Looking forward to the post coming now.

Eh? What is this stuff? Anyone care to explain?

Frog253 · 29/07/2012 19:50

Well I use it as a v. good tinted moisturiser with some mineral powder on top. If you search bb creams on here there are loads of threads about them. They started in Korea I think and then Western cosmetics companies started making them fairly recently.
Like most products some love, some hate and some are indifferent.
