Additional Information :

I was having quite bad skin problem due to unknown cause. I suspect it would be one of the skincare product that I used that cause irritation on my face. Small white heads grow healthily on my face, they are just too many until my beautician was so worried about it !

I stopped all the product as I was not sure which one causing the problem, and that time also because I need to travel and in-need of only bringing travel sized skincare, so I decided to give it a try on this Stem Cell series.

For about a week of fully usage of the range, apparently my white heads started to disappear, or at least, they are shrinking !! Very amazing, especially I am super sensitive to BB Cream, but this BB cream seems work well on my face. Overall, I like this series very much. Only draw back would be the packaging is big, but the content is actually quite little, so it won't last long (say, less than 2 weeks usage).

Additional Information :

I have tried a few different sample of BB cream from different brands, which I don't really can be convinced with the results. Most of the time I will develop some breakout, though my face looks flawless and more even tone after applying the BB Cream.

With the Ciracle, because it is a full sized, I tried a longer period instead. Utmost concern I have with BB cream don't show out from this one. Excellent product with non oily and sticky feeling.

I normally apply very thin layer on my face, which is already enough coverage and make my face tone looks more even. While for the other effect on wrinkle control etc, that will need more time to see the result and differences.

Brand: Circle from Wishtrend

Date : May 2012

Place: Mailer

Method: It was a trial and review campaign with http://www.facebook.com/kpopped . Writing the reason why you wanted to try one of the 3 products, and she will choose one for each product to do the review. Lucky enough, I was chosen to review the BB Cream.

Additional Information:

I was looking for something to shy away my face from the harmful UV rays. I sweat and I have oily skin, so, it is tough to get a good one suitable for my skin without bringing in any side effect.

I will try on the Ciracle BB Cream and see how it works on my sensitive skin. Review follow later.

Wish Trend send me the full sized BB Cream, together with some Klair's samples too. Will try that out as well.

I still can't really take it --- BB crème. I am a sweaty person, I haven't got the chance to meet any BB crème or foundation or loose powder (whatever you name it, but mainly for coverage) that can 'tahan' my sweaty face. Once I applied the BB crème, I started feeling each of my pore is struggling to get oxygen (ah... over exaggerated a bit lah …). My sweat immediately show face, I have to pat away the sweat, together, I see
