Skin 79 BB cream

[Deleted]

I bought that 4 pack sampler from amazon, so I will be trying them all out this week. Today I am wearing the hot pink one.

I put it on over vitazing and it seemed to cover well, but my coloring looks "off." I AM tan, so maybe that is a factor? We'll see how long it lasts.

I have the pink one, but got some samples of the orange one, and so far, I am liking the orange one better, even though the pink was awesome. I am using it over the benefit TM (light) and it gives me awesome coverage between the 2.

It should last all day. I have really oily skin, and I find this helps a lot.

[ssmjlm]

I haven't gotten my sample yet, but I'm interested to hear the experiences. I haven't bitten the bullet on vitazing yet, but I need to do a sephora order.

[StJess80]

I was going to get the vitazing, but when I realized that it was a TM, I decided to wait a bit on it. Especially since the bb cream has awesome skin benefits too. The orange bb cream is supposed to be for "mature" skin, but the reviews I read said that it provides better coverage, which I was looking for. I did the benefit TM under the pink yesterday, and under the orange today, and I like the coverage the orange provides. The downside to the orange is that I think you have to really make sure it blends in well. I need to get a blending sponge or something. Right now, I just use my fingers.

I have a beauty blender that I never use so I will try it with that.

I am super pale, so I haven't had any issues with the color blending. I was a little concerned that it came out of the tube a grey-ish color, but the end result color works with my skin tone.
I should have specified which sampler it was I got in the post below. I got this one www.amazon.com/Skin79-Cream-Miniature-Mini-Black/dp/B002HPBF32/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1337709307&sr=1-1 and this one: www.amazon.com/SKIN79-Cream-Samples-Set-10ea/dp/B007NUHHC4/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337709187&sr=8-1-spell. I usually go out of my way to not pay for shipping, but the 2nd one is how I got the orange samples.

I got the first sampler for free shipping-- but twice the price. ($10). lol

Ohh, I opted to try the packets first, and then move on to the tubes. Did you receive your packets yet? If yes, how long did it take? I ordered mine over a week ago, ugh.

I am tempted to just go ahead and buy the tubes now.

[Deleted]

The tubes aren't that big. I figured I'd get a few uses out of each. I didn't even see the packets.

[StJess80]

Tubes? The hot pink one that I have is like a pump, and is a decent size. I actually have a picture of it in relation to UDNP2. Hold on, and I will post it.

As for the samples, I used one this morning and did not use the entire thing. So, probably 2 applications per sample packet.

[StJess80]

Ok, here is the pump that I have.

[mrs.spunky]

Jess, Cosmos is talking about the first link from my post (or something similar)

I got 3-4 uses out of each tube. I took 2 tubes and 3 packets with me on a 4 day vacation ~2 weeks ago and came home with plenty.

Oh, I get it now. I didn't click on the links before.

Tried the orangy tube and the color looked awful on me. Way too grey and I guess whatever they use to whiten just looks ridiculous on me. I washed it off and used my vitazing with MUFE foundation since I was in a rush.

Two more tubes... then I will probably be offering them for trade with someone. I am thinking the others aren't going to be great either. I just don't have the right skin color, I think.

[ssmjlm]

Got my samples on Friday. The orange looked awful on me so I washed it off. The pink one looked better but I'm not sure that my skin looked that much better.

I still have 2 other type to try. They also sent me a BB face wash which was good bc the orange was a PITA to get off.

I'm loving the pink one. I have Snow White fair skin and it does a great job of evening out my skin. I just need a little bit of concealer under my eyes and set it with some powder and I'm good to go for the day.

[Deleted]

I hate them all. Giving them to my friend. Not for my skin tone. I'm officially done trying BB creams.

[ssmjlm]

I hope my vitazing shows up today. Tried the pink one again today and in 2 hours my chin was oily, worse than with my benefit foundation.

[ijack]

I bought the full sized pink one and it came with a sample of the pink and gold and I don't love them either. I think my skin looks super pale. So if anyone wants a full sized pink one I have it (unopened) that I can sell.

[Doctorblue]

Ijack, I'd possibly be interested. I've been thinking about ordering some, but seems a lot of the reviews here are negative. I'm pretty pale, so maybe it'd work with my skintone.

[ijack]

it's yours if you want to message me your info. I'll sell it for $14

[Doctorblue]

PM sent.

[CloudBee]

So far I like the orange. I have the mini packet samples. I'm going to keep trying them before buying full sized. Love how it applies, so far!

Are there "recommended sellers" on Amazon for these products?

I ordered from Pink Gelee. I paid around $14 for a full sized bottle. Free and fast shipping, they are in CA and I'm on the East Coast and the package arrived several days ahead of schedule.

I also ordered from Pink Gelee (the samples).

CloudBee-- putting them in the mail today!
