Product Review: Hada Labo Air BB Cream

Dear Beauty Buddies,

Today, I will be sharing with you another beauty product that has made it to my "worthy" list. It is none other than the Hada Labo Air BB Cream which was launched during the 4th quarter of last year. I attended the launch event and learnt many tips. If you want to read about the tips, you can read it here.

I have put the product into test for several occasions and it passed the test with flying colours. I have received compliments from friends when using the BB cream. I usually apply a very small amount using the patting motion followed by sweeping motion. It is really easy to apply and the best part is my face that is very oily in nature did not turned super oily even after 3-4 hours after I went out under the sun. I just need to blot my face once or twice a day and it can last me throughout the whole day.

Product rating: 4.5/5
Product texture: 4.5/5
Colour: excellent , no greyish effect 
Price: RM55.90 for 40g

So, I will show you some pictures.

My face after a few hours.

So, if you have oily face like me and you love to use BB cream but fear of the oily after effect, fret not, Hada Labo Air BB cream is the answer for you.

Give it a try and let me know the result.

Hada Labo Air BB Cream - Launch

Dear Friends

Would like to update you on the latest BB Cream by Hada Labo. It is called Air BB Cream. Sounds like Nike Air. Gives me the impression that it is light. Have you tried it yet?

Personally, I am not a fan of BB Cream. My daily makeup routine is just loose powder. I don't like coverage even though I don't have perfect skin. I have tried some BB Creams but so far I only found one that I like. Maybe Hada Labo Air BB Cream can make it to my list. Honestly, I have not tried it yet but from the product texture I can tell that it is light and not oily. So, there is hope that it will make it to my favourite list.

I shall update you after I try it. (here is my review link, do read!)

Back to the product launch. It was held at Acme Bar, Jalan Binjai (The Troika). I took a train to Ampang Park. The location is very near so I had no problem finding the place.

The 10 benefits of Hada labo Air BB Cream

with other Lovely bloggers

With the lovely Sharon

Met some new friends - Uni and Jess Ngo

Elaine Choo (Senior Product Manager) expaining to us the benefits of Hada Labo Air BB Cream.

Although Hada Labo Air BB Cream contains several types of silicon but according to Elaine Choo, the molecule of the silicon is bigger than our pores. Therefore, it will not enter the pores, it will only stay on the skin surface. Thus, no worry about clogged pores.

Monica Lee (professioanl makeup artist) demonstrating the correct techniques to apply Hada labo Air BB cream.

The Application Technique (by Monica Lee)
1. Dabbing method - to achieve the concentration of the pigment at areas that require more coverage such as acne spots, freckles etc.
2. Rubbing method (like applying moisturiser) - This method will spread the pigment evenly on your face but may not give enough covergae fir spots/freckles.

So, Monica recommends to combine both methods to achieve near flawless skin. This Hada Labo Air BB Cream allows layering. The key is to apply very little product on each layer to achieve an almost flawless. It is recommended to apply with foundation brush for more even application.

The colours are not like the typical BB Cream that may have a greyish tint. The colours are very wearable. Suitable for Asian skin tone.

Product Review: Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moist Essence EX

Happy New Year 2012 to all my lovely friends! hope you had a wonderful start to the year.

I want to start the new year by introducing the Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moist Essence EX which I have finished using a month ago. This product is made in China but I am not too worried as it is made under the license of the Mentholatum Co. 

I purchased this hydrating serum when I felt that my skin needs some extra hydration. The common misconception is that when you have oily skin, your skin will not be not dehydrated.

Product Description

1. Provides deep hydration with a high concentration of Super Hyaluronic Acid

2. Free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol and colorant

3. Skin appears visibly smooth and luminous

Some Ingredients that caught my attention:

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil, Squalene, Glycerin

The pump design is not good as it spills after several usage

The texture is smooth

What I like

1. smooth texture

2. Hydrates my skin well ( I use this serum after toner followed by Moisturiser and sunblock - during day time, For night, I use this serum after toner, followed by moisturiser and top up with Clinique Mositure Surge)

3. Reasonable price - about RM60 (30ml)

4. No color/fragrance

What I dislike

1. This product contains Methylparaben which is not so good for the skin. Most of the non-organic products contain paraben in the ingredients to preserve the product (including expensive counter brands).

2. The pump design is not good. It spills and can be very messy.

Product Rating: 4/5

Other than that, I have no complaints. Have you tried this before?

Once again, I wish you a Happy 2012!
