Finally getting around to posting about this BB cream! I purchased this BB cream from beautykat back in April to use for the Spring and Summer months. It  contains 40ml and was $22.00.

Although it is slightly darker than the Moist Cream I felt unsure about the color because while it would match my face, it would not match my neck making it look weird overall.Currently, the color does not match me because I've tanned. I believe I am an NC40/MUFE 128 now. Back in April, I was an NC30 and it looked ok.

I think that I've given up on finding BB creams that will match my skin tone. I feel like the darkest Asian BB creams out there will only match up to an NC30 with the exception of Missha No.27 and No.31.                                                                                    

Rohto Hadalabo Gokujyun Lotion

I bought this after reading Chizu Saeki's book, "The Japanese Skincare Revolution". The book explains the "asian skincare routine" of layering products. Included in the routine is the use of a toner. I decided to get this one because it contains Hyaluronic Acid. Juju Aquamoist also has a similar toner, but I chose this one because of this review. 

All I need are two drops. Before I used to turn it upside down and back up really quickly to dispense the product, but I was actually pouring out more product than I needed. Now I just tip it over to let the product fall into my hand. A lot of people complain about the stickiness of the product, but it all depends on how much you actually use. If you put a lot, yes it's going to be sticky. Just use less -__-.

Overall, I really like this toner. I can't tell if my skin is more moisturized due to this because I've actually been taking care of my skin (cleanser, toner, eye cream, serum, emulsion and all). I bought it at Mitsuwa for $15.99 and at 170ml, it'll last me a long time. 

Rohto Hadalabo Moist BB Cream in #2 Natural Ochre

I wanted to get Ettusais's BB Mineral Cream a while ago but didn't want to risk paying $35 for something that might not match my skin tone so I went on the hunt for yellow toned BB creams and stumbled upon Sue Lynn's post on yellow toned BB creams!!! (What a lifesaver!) I decided to try the Rhoto Hadalabo BBs and got their Moist BB Cream in #2 Natural Ochre on ebay from the seller "Katbeauty". They also sell it on Adambeauty and Imomoko.

For reference, I am a NC30 in MAC. I think that both BB creams work with my skin tone. Missha's is definitely more orange compared to Rohto's. I do appreciate the yellow undertone in Rohto's though. Rohto's also provides a more dewy glow compared to Missha's, but for me it doesn't matter because I'm going to put powder over it anyway.
