Kose Sekkisei is almost always packaged in its famous blue packing. Sekkisei is famous because of its usage of Chinese plants extracts. Most of their products focuses on whitening or brightening.
I'm still loving BB creams, so I couldn't resist this new BB cream from Kose. It doesn't come in a very large bottle, but like most BB creams you only need a little bit for one usage.
This BB cream comes in two colors, but there isn't much of a color difference between one and two, so I went with number 2.
It has a slight scent, but it isn't distracting. The coverage is medium to full (if you apply a second layer) Mostly I find it great for days when you want a natural look. I can't comment on the whitening effects, but a lot of people find it actually does whiten. For now, I enjoy it because it doesn't leave my skin gray, like most BB creams.

Holika Holika Luminious Silk BB Cream
Before buying new BB creams, I tend to do a lot of research. After browsing Korean blogs, I settled on Holika Holika Luminous Silk BB cream.
Long story short, I hate it. The color is too pink for my yellow undertones. I like the convient pump and the lace decorations, but this BB cream is just not right for me. I'm a bit disappointed but I will have to find a way to make it work or pass it along to a friend of mine. Sad!

Dr. Jart Black Label Detox BB Beauty Balm
I'm a sucker for the items located near the check out line at Sephora. I own, as well as tried, many different BB creams, but none from Dr. Jart.
It claims to be detoxing, so it'll work well with acne prone skin. For me, I like the fact that it covered my imperfections, but my face still looked natural.
I still need to test it out, but for now, I really like it!

Nature Republic Collagen HD Aqua BB Cream
BB Creams has made its way to America, but I still believe that BB Creams from Asia are far more superior in terms of skin care benefits, coverage and quality.
I randomly decided to pick up this Collagen HD Aqua BB Cream from Nature Republic. It is not the most popular BB Cream from NR, but I'm glad I decided to give it a go!
On top of that, it was only $7!
This BB cream isn't too think nor too watery. I would say the coverage is medium to high and easily buildable.
The overall finish is semi-matte with a hint of dewey-ness. If you have oily skin, I would suggest using a finishing powder, but for those with dry skin this BB cream is really moisturizing and will not emphasize dry patches.
Here is a swatch. It is on the yellow side with no gray undertones! To the right of the line of BB cream is the blended product. The color is perfect for me and it blends in seamlessly.
