I was ready to ask why we don't use just straight zinc as a sunscreen but after reading the other posts I figured it out myself. Thanks ladies.

Okay so I tried the Hot pink Skin79 sample today and here are my initial thoughts:

-color match is perfect, looks similar in color to MPC #21 on me

-thinner consistency than MPC. I like the thinner consistency but I don't find MPC too heavy so I don't necessarily prefer it over MPC.

-No irritation

-I do not need or want heavy coverage but I find in order to get similar results as MPC in terms of just an overall evening out of my complexion, I need more of the SKIN79 hot pink one. I suppose this is one disadvantage of having a thinner consistency.

-it seemed pretty dewy but that might have been my PC's skin recovery SPF moisturizer I used underneath it moreso than the BB cream. I will try it with a lighter moisturizer tomorrow and see what I get. I like dewy but I actually had to use a setting powder to tone it down a bit which I have not had to use in many months, if not a year!

So that is all I got for my initial impression. Definitely is promising so far in terms of not causing any issues and being a good match. Certainly better than the BRTC I used in the past. No strong scent either, at least not that my nose detected.

just checking in with you, wackers! Hope all is well!

Thanks for the review HappyDaze. I'm going to try one today. I'll let you know what I think later.

I look forward to your initial thoughts, Myshell! I am going to try the gold one today.

Funny you should mention that one. I tried the Super Gold BB cream too. The color is a good match for me. I found it to be similar to Missha in consistency with maybe a tad less coverage. The finish seemed more semi matte and to me Missha is more satin. I did use a touch of powder over it but that's normal for me. I like it so far. I'm planning on trying the orange one and then the pink one. I don't think the snail one will be for me. It sounds like it would be light coverage but I may try it at some point.

Please let me know how the gold one compares to the pink. I look forward to hearing what you think:-)

wackers - I hope you chime in. I'd live to hear if you've tried yours yet.

hi myshelll!

I did try the gold one and I agee, it has less coverage but, like the hot pink one, I think the consistency is a bit thinner than MPC. Again, the color matched perfectly so no issues there. I didn't really find much difference between the gold and the hot pink honestly. Perhaps the hot pink had slightly more coverage but not a significant difference if any. If I had to chose between the two after only one use, it would be the hot pink but neither of them, so far, are better than MPC imho.

I do not have a snail BB in my set. The seller added in some snail cream (not a BB, just skincare) with my kit but I am not going to try it. You actually have a snail BB cream?

I agree the Gold is nice but not better than Missha. In the set I ordered I got the Pink, Orange, Gold and one called Snail Nutition BB cream. The snail one contains 45% Korean Snail Secretion Filtrate. Doesn't the It CC contain the snail stuff? 45% is a lot. I hadn't read the label all that well till you asked about it and I got it out to check the name. Hmmm, I don't know if I will try that one or not. LOL. I might sample it on my hand.

ah interesting we have different sets! I have two pink- one hot pink (super + BB triple function), one lighter pink (Diamond collection prestige BB cream), a gold one (Super BB whitening, VIP gold collection) and a silver one (Diamond collection Pearl luminous BB).

Yeah, something of IT's contains the snail secretion but I can't remember what.

It does have snail slime in it but I don't know the %. I think it came out about the time that they where doing the news articles about Asian countries using live snails on their faces. I figured if I could eat a snail or a frog leg then the snail slime wouldn't hurt me, lol. Better than live snails playing on my face (eww!!). It's supposed to be very good for your skin. I have some snail serum but I didn't notice much of a difference using it.
