Magical Tinted BB Cream Review by Guest Blogger Aryanny


Earlier this week we posted our Guest Blogger Aryanny Zaini's review of a brand of BB Tinted Moisturiser. 

This is the second review conducted by Aryanny for Makeupnet on the new brand of Tinted Moisturiser called Magical - this comes in 3 shades.

We want to say a very big thank you to Aryanny again for her honest review of these products!

Magical BB Cream SPF30+ (40ml) - RRP$9.99




What "Magical BB Cream" says:
  *  Extract of five grains, soothes sensitive skin and smoothen the texture.
  *  Super multi BB cream functions as a primer, foundation and powder. It visibly reduces imperfections, smoothes skin and prevents makeup from smudging.
*  A "water-in-silicon" type, this cream based product glides on without irritating skin. It's non-oily formula, fresh on skin all day long.
  *  Protects the skin from harmful UV rays.

This is what Aryanny had to say about the brand:


As it didn't come with a box or even any information of the product on the tube itself, I had to Google and after half an hour, found some information as described above. They only have a list of ingredients on the tube.
This comes in a 40ml squeezy tube. Currently this range has three different shades and the one I'm reviewing is shade "3".

This reminds me a lot like a tinted moisturiser. It is really creamy and light. It is also easy to apply and blends beautifully. Minimal effort to get decent coverage. It does have a slight scent to it. It's hard to describe, but smells a bit "cosmetic" like. This is of course not noticeable when worn.  It surprisingly has good coverage, it even covered my dark circles.

Lasting power on this, is excellent.
It did not rub off or smudged itself at all. With the warmer tone in this shade, it left no chalkiness or grey tones on me whatsoever. It is just a little pink on my warm skintone, but nothing a little bronzer could not fix.

As from the product description, this is definitely a no-fuss cream. Sometimes I'm hesitant in using a product when it lists too many uses and benefits, like they're trying to "convince" you to buy it. I have tried to use this as a primer too and it worked beautifully. Made my makeup stay put all day and kept it fresh & long lasting. Having said that, I have dry skin, so I can't vouch for people with oily or combination skin.

Overall conclusion: I highly recommend this product as your first BB cream. It really is easy to use, feels light and natural on the skin. It even worked excellently with my warm skin tone, so I am confident there's a shade to suit everyone.

Would I purchase this? Yes, most definitely. Even for $9.99, I can not fault this product at all as it delivered everything it said and more. 

This brand is on sale at www.makeupnet.com.au in the On Sale Shop at $9.99 a tube.

BB Tinted Creams - have you used them?

I have tried a BB cream before however the ones that I tried were not very good, they were very pale and just too dry on my skin..then I discovered this brand Magical BB Cream...and I love it!


This is the brand that I have been testing out and I have to say it is really very good. 

It costs $9.99 for 40 mls which is pretty good value compared to many other tinted moisturizers.  The big thing about these BB creams is that are called BB creams which stands for Ban Blemishes and this essentially means that they help to control oil  and they seem to calm down the blemishes.  

These BB creams have been very popular across Asia for many years and they are now really starting to have an impact here.

This brand comes in 3 shades


I have been wearing the dark beige on my skin but feel the Light Beige would also work for me..so these have a greater depth of color than most BB creams as well.  Others I have tried in the past have been so pale that I looked like a ghost in them.

I like they way these creams cover the skin, it feels moisturized and it looks very smooth and the color is consistent..which is just what we all want.

If you have been considering a tinted moisturizer and thought they were too expensive then this is a great one to try.  Your skin will love it too.

Have you used a BB cream?  What did you think of it?

Pimples and other blemishes on our faces

No matter what your age we women - I suppose men do also- but my focus is on women today -we all get pimples, zits, acne call them what you like - we all get them at times in our lives.

And we all HATE getting them with a passion!  I suffered  a bit when in my teens and had to go onto some medication for a while to help rid my skin of these horrid things, however it was short term so no long term damage to my skin.  My brother on the other hand had pimples that were like mountains and he has many scares on his face now which is sad for him.

I have found a skincare cream/treatment that is a new comer in my view to the Aussie market called Beautiful Caroline BB Cream.  BB Cream is a Banish Blemishes Cream with a tinted moisturizer also, how cool!

The BB Cream market across Asia is huge and very popular as the creams have many benefits for the skin such as controlling oil, calming the skin and giving a great natural coverage.   The one issue with the current creams is that they are very pale in colour and therefore will not suit many Australian skintone unless you are very pale or you are of Asian decent.

The good news is that I have found another brand of BB creams that comes in 3 colours and these I hope will be a better colour range that suits the Australian complexions.

I am having this product evaluated by our Face Book fans - we send them the cream and they evaluate it and share their views back with us.  Join the fan page and you could participate in these kind of evaluations and giveaways.
Here is the BB Beautiful Caroline Cream:    
Whitening + Anti wrinkle + Moisture + Skin protection [SPF30,PA++] + Natural skin tone + Soothing effect + Sebum control

This multi-functional & Natural BB cream including rosemary, grape, aloe, green tea has whitening, anti wrinkle, moisturizing, cell renewal and skin protection effect against harmful UVA, UVB rays, pollution.

It leaves a radiant, clear and healthy complexion with flawless and natural finish.

It has total revitalizing effect of hydrating,improving skin elasticity, nourishing and brightening benefits.

It evens skin tone with velvety smooth texture and conceals blemishes, discoloration area on face including acne, age spot, dark circles,
sun spots, scars.

Beautiful Caroline BB cream is designed for all ages and all skin types to help create a youthful, healthy complexion.
