BB Creams: Quick comparison III

I compared a total of 17 BB Creams so far, and today I am presenting you 5 more reviews. I actually have reviewed 4 of them already but I personally think it's helpful to see their swatches side by side. I won't go into details as I thoroughly reviewed them already and I will provide you with the links to my reviews.

BB Creams: Quick Comparison II (10 different BB Creams)


1: Cathy Cat Colorist It BB Cream Season 2 SPF10:


I have already reviewed this here.
It's a thick balmy cream with sheer-medium coverage which makes my skin feel super smooth but it's more suitable for colder months due to the thick texture.
70ml

2: Cosline Total Sun Base 3 in 1 SPF36 PA++:


I have already reviewed this here.
This is super sheer and has a weird light peachy color. Has good sun protection so it's a decent sun cream but doesn't perform like a real BB Cream.
70g

3: Skin79 Lovely Girl BB Cream:


This is brand new and I haven't reviewed this yet. I got this together with a BB Pact from Skin79 for around US$13 or so so it was very cheap for me. It comes in a cute light pink squeeze tube with silver butterflies and hearts printed on.
The box says that this products is soothing redness, irritated skin and provides even coverage.
It contains Mulberry and Marigold extract. It's supposed to control oil through their porosity powder and naturally covers blemishes while providing your skin with moisture through added Chlorella extract and Herb Complex.
This BB Cream is formulated for younger girls but hey, even at age 27 I love cute packaging =P
The cream has a light pleasant scent, fresh and slightly fruity. It's a rather thick cream with little bit of a waxy feeling. However the coverage isn't bad (about sheer-medium) and the color match is very good for me.
The squeeze tube has the annoying habit to ooze a bit so the cap gets messy quickly if you don't wipe it after every use.
All in all this is a good basic BB Cream for starters and young girls.
50g

4: Jadilla J Whitening BB Plus SPF30 PA++:


I already reviewed this here.
This is the darkest BB Cream in today's lot of 5 BB Creams but the color match is fine and the coverage is good (about medium). Comes in 2 colors of which I chose #1.
50ml

5: Lotree SPF21 BB Primer Tinted Control Base:


I have already reviewed this here.
Lightweight BB Cream with sheer-medium coverage and quite pale color.
Deluxe sample size 16ml

I want to add that none of my BB Creams lasts more than 5 hours (now in the still somewhat hot and sweaty summer weather) unless I set them with a bit of powder or twin/triple cake powder. Then they last pretty much all day long. I think now that the weather starts to turn cool and will stay cold for the next half year it might be not necessary to set the BB Cream.
My face makeup routine currently consists of makeup base, BB Cream, concealer, powder (or triple cake etc.) blush and highlighter and I am very happy with the results.

First venture into Cosline

I heard of Cosline before ever since I spotted some cheap sheet masks on eBay produced by this company.


Recently I found some cute makeup kits on Gmarket and noticed it was the same brand and since I was curious how the quality was like I went ahead and ordered 2 sets.

Cosline Avenue #1 (35500 Won, about US$35)


Available as Glam Package (with lipstick) or Gloss Package.

-Prielry Mineral Air Pact:


A baked face powder in a very pretty metallic charcoal compact with a rhinestone (the box claims this is an authentic Swarovski Crystal) embedded in the middle. This offers medium coverage and feels light and silky. Didn't cake up today in the hot sweaty weather.


Carries a light fragrance but nothing overwhelming.
Comes in 2 colors of which I chose the lighter one 01 Light Beige.

-Prielry Diamond Gloss:


Sheer sparkly gloss with a light fruity scent. Comes in 7 colors to choose from. I chose color #51 Dressy Purple which is a pretty hot pink with purple/blue iridescent shimmer.

-Prielry Diamond Cookie Shadow:


Baked duo shadow in a compact similar to the Mineral Pact. This is a bit of a disappointment as the shadow duo is quite hard and sheer. It can still work for subtle definition with a soft pearly finish but I prefer better pigmented shadows.


I chose #4 but there are 6 other colors available.
But you can't always have a winner, right?



Now comes the best part: I am chuffed with the truckload of goodies you get free with the purchase of a kit!

My Cosline Avenue #1 came with:

-Tanning Tissues 13x2 pieces
-a cooling pore tightening sheet mask.. very interesting stuff! You have to push the package hard in the middle and then within 3 minutes your mask gets icy cold for a most refreshing experience! The whole package with 1 mask is quite heavy and feels crunchy when you touch it!
-1 Eye Two Shine eyeshadow duo (not too bad quality) (color randomly selected)
-1 Sweet Cheek blusher (color randomly selected - unfortunately I got the bright orange one =( )
-5 Hair Shampoo & Hair Treatment sachet duos
-5 Cream Cleanser sachets
-5 Foam Cleanser sachets
-a package with 5 eyeshadow applicators
-a lip brush

Cosline Avenue #5 (34200 Won):


-Total Sun Base 3 in 1 BB Cream SPF 36 PA++:


Sun protection, makeup base and foundation in 1. Comes in 2 colors of which I ordered #1 (Light). This is the first BB Cream that comes in a slightly peachy color and is very light. Unfortunately the Total Sun Base is so sheer it doesn't really cover well so it fails as a BB cream in my opinion. Feels very lightweight and makes a decent sun cream but a bit coverage wouldn't have hurt.

-Flower Cookie Blusher:


This was the first item that caught my attention when the kits popped up on GMarket (I was searching for something else but Gmarket usually comes up with other stuff lol).
The compact is very pretty, rose shaped with a rhinestone embedded.
I decided to go for color #2 as the swatch looked like it would be a soft neutral pink perfect for me (the other 2 colors look both in the beige-brown range).


The Flower Cookie Blusher is quite silky and pigmented and leaves a soft glowy finish. Very pretty and worth purchasing!


There was lots of free stuff in this kit, too:
-Tanning Tissue 2x13 pcs
-Cooling mask (see above)
-Shine Start Gloss in #11 (a pretty sheer champagne gloss with sparkles) (color randomly selected)
-Eye Two Shine Eyeshadow duo (different colors than above) (randomly selected)
-5 Cream Cleanser sachets
-5 Foam Cleanser sachets
-a powder puff

Overall Cosline seems to be a good makeup brand. It might not be excellent but some items are definitely worth picking up! But it's none of those brands that made me fall in love right away like Cathy Cat, Banila Co or Etude House,
