My BB History - thoughts about BB creams I've tried

I'm kind of fan of BB creams.. I prefer them rather than foundations. Of course, I've got a foundation in my make up collection, but I wear it only for special occasions. For everyday make up I use BB. I wear it really often and that's the point why I have few words to say about them. Even I love them know, I haven't been really keen on them at first.

When I firstly heard about BB creams, I was a bit afraid that I wouldn't find fitting one. I had a lot of trouble with finding perfectly matching my skin type&colour foundation and BB cream doesn't come in many colours. They also look different on skin, they've got some kind of glow. So I wasn't sure if it was a good choice for me. I also didn't have any experience with Korean brands this time. But finally I made a decision and ordered my first cream...

Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream Cool Fix SPF 50+ / PA+++

I tried this one in colour W13 and than this shade was fine for me. But nowadays it will be too dark and some kind of orangey, I guess.. It wasn't perfect, but I also wasn't strongly disappointed. I used it for my everyday make for almost three months. But know I don't wanna reorder it.

Pros:
- good coverage, which could be a little buildable
- high SPF
- nice smell
- skin care ingredients & no parabens
- long-lasting
- waterproof
- bottle is stored with the tip down, so it's easier to dispense the product

Cons:
- fair oil control
- few available shades
- a bit pricey
- useless sponge applicator

After this one I decided to try...
 Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42/PA+++ in No.21

And until today, it's my favourite one. It just has nice coverage and leave my face so smooth. It also lasts all day long and it's simple to find perfectly fitting shade (even if you've got really light skin tone). Oh, and it's really useful for ombre lips - just my tip ;)

Pros:
- nice but not so strong glow, typical for BB
- long-lasting
- really affordable
- also high SPF
- good for almost every skin type
- doesn't show dry skin around nose and mouth area

Cons:
- I must say that I haven't seen even one already ;)

Even that I love my second choice, I wanted to try something new this summer. So I ordered.
Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ in N02

I've chosen it because it's got really comfortable&portable package. I used to travel a lot this time, so it was perfect to put in bag and take anywhere with me. Application of it was also really easy and fast (thanks to spongy applicator). It's not bad for everyday use, but I tested it in a bit harder conditions. I used it during holidays, on a beach. It's got SPF 50+ so it wasn't a bad idea. Although I had to put this cream on my face, every time I came out of water. I think that for this use, my first BB could be better.

Pros:
- high SPF
- portable
- quick and easy application
- good coverage

Cons:
- not so long-lasting
- not waterproof
- not a good choice for oily skin

I also tried some others BB creams (but only samples; these three were my only full sized BB's) and I'm gonna try more for future. But for now I really like Missha BB and I could strongly recommend it to you guys ;)
