I recently joined their Bloggers program and I reached out to BB Cosmetics about trying a couple of products.  One of the items that I was keenly interested in is The Face Shop CC Oil Control Water Cushion My Other Bag, as I like CC’s  ~ they are totally different from BB creams  ~ I had seen the other versions of ultra moist & intense cover, but since I have oily skin, I wanted to try the oil control version. I also requested another item, but since that was a limited edition item, they couldn’t send it, which I totally understand.

My blogger liaison, Chloe, took down my skin care concerns and I received a big parcel the other day. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Not only did I received the cushion I requested to review, she sent me other makeup and skin care items.  I also received a Berrisom dual brow product ~ one side is a felt tip “liner” for your brows and the other side is a brow mascara ~ I really love my brow mascaras! I also received 3 water lip tint balms by Choonee ~ new brand for me!) in Peach, Cherry and Grapefruit ~ I love lip balms and tinted ones let me explore colors I might not try if they were a regular lipstick.   

I had mentioned to Chloe that my most problem area was my eye area ~ I have wrinkles and concerns with hyper-pigmentation too. I only expected the CC cream and maybe a sheet mask or something.   To my surprise, I received not one, but two eye products! I received a full 5 piece package of Elizavecca Goggles Eye Lock in Aqua Mask Pack Sheet ~ I had been eyeing these for a while (haha bad pun) and I have them now.  Plus a full tub (60 pieces) of Berrisom Placenta firming hydro gel eye patches, Etude House Therapy Air Soothing and Purifying Lotus Mask  ~ I haven’t seen this series before from Etude House) and deluxe samples from Laneige.   Let’s dive into the products!

The Face Shop CC Oil Control Water Cushion My Other Bag V203

The Face Shop collaborated with My Other Bag and produced 3 different types of CC cushions.  I will be doing a full review on this CC cushion, but I just wanted to show how cute this is!    This is the oil control version (Zoey bag) and The Face Shop also has Ultra Moist CC Cushion (Sophia)  and Intense Cover CC Cushion (Jackie).  I have oily skin, so I went with this version and picked V203, which is the darkest shade in this cushion ~ which is still pretty light.   This cushion has two color choices right now, V201 and V203, whereas the other types have 3 shades ~ V103, V201 and V203.   All of their cushions in the My Other Bag series are SPF50+ PA+++, so you can get some decent coverage.

Just some quick swatches so you can see the shade

 

Berrison Oops! Dual Tint Brow in 01 Dark Brown  ~ I love brow mascaras and this not only has a mascara end, but a felt tip pen to help fill in brows with color.  I will probably use the felt tip liner as an eye liner instead as my brows are pretty wild and wool-y!  This product is currently sold out at BB Cosmetics, but they do have the Gel Tattoo Brow Tint from Berrisom     I also received Choonee Water Lip Tint Balms in Cherry, Peach and Grapefruit ~ Cherry is a lovely bright red, Grapefruit is orange and Peach is pink.  These look really nice on my lips and they apply smoothly.  The coverage is sheer, but can be built up and these balms make my lips super soft!  There is no taste or scent to these lippies.

Elizavecca Goggles Eye Lock in Aqua Mask Pack Sheet

This is what I mean by BB Cosmetic being so thoughtful about my skincare needs and issues!   Chloe picked out some products that she felt would address my concerns.  These are made with coconut and donkey oils and will moisturize, while softening wrinkles and brighten your under eye area.   Not only did I received these Elizavecca Goggle Eye patches ~ which I had been looking at for a long time ~ but a full tub of Berrisom Placenta Firming Hydro Gel Eye Patch ~ this is a tub with 60 eye patches ~ good for at least one month (if you do use them daily).  I love to put my tub in the frig to get a nice soothing and cooling gel that depuffs too 

I am pretty excited to try out both of my eye gels and like the CC Cream, I will do a full review on these products.

Last, but not least…

I received several deluxe sized samples from Laneige

• Water Bank Gel Cream EX
• Water Sleeping Mask
• Multi Cleanser
• Perfect Renew Emulsion
• Sun Block Supreme SPF 50+ PA+++
• Time Freeze Intensive Cream
• Sun Block Sensitive SPF 30 PA++

Etude House Therapy Air Soothing & Purifying Lotus Mask   This is a new series for me from Etude House ~ I am familiar with their “I Need You” series, so this will be a great one for me to try.  Also, see how thoughtful Chloe is? She picked a mask for my oily skin in Lotus – to help purify while soothing my skin.

Final Thoughts

I really am a small time beauty blogger and yet BB Cosmetic treated me like a star!   They read about my skin concerns and issues and really tailored my Blogger package to my skin care needs while also exposing me to new brands and product lines.   They have a contact form (click here) so you can ask them for advice or skincare products based on your needs and I found them to be responsive.   I have ordered from them too ~ I purchased The Face Shop Mike CC Cushion  (Limited Edition) from them, so I can tell you that they do ship fast, give samples and everything is wrapped nicely and shipped safely.   Another bonus ~ Free Shipping ~ both USA and Worldwide!   Use my promo code of YW36SVN21HU to get 10% off your purchases until the end of July ~ starting in August, that code will be good for 8% off your purchases.

I can’t wait to review these for you ~ which items interest you the most?  Have you purchased from BB Cosmetic before or are interested in doing so?   I am going to go back and purchase the Dearpacker Black Ginseng Sleep Pack and Facial Sheet Masks, because those look so interesting to me!
