In the Vanity Trove box that I got, it has a sample of the Bio Essence BB Cream and the Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid. Since I own both products already and have used it for a long time, I'm sharing with you my honest personal thoughts and opinion on those.

Bio-Essence Bio Platinum BB Cream Review

Texture
This BB Cream has a rather creamy texture and you really have to blend it in your skin well as it can leave uneven patches if you don't. Even though this BB cream is created more for whitening purposes, the colour of it is rather light and would be more suited for those with fairer skin tones. You wouldn't want to look like you're wearing a mask on your face with this BB Cream thus a bit of product goes a long way.

Coverage
It gives an almost high coverage and can really make your skin look flawless. It also brightens up your skin, thanks to the whitening properties.

How I usually apply this
I will squeeze out a small amount on my fingertips and then blending it with both fingertips of my hands first. Then, I will apply some on my forehead, cheeks, nose and chin before blending it out thoroughly, using my fingers as well. It goes the same for all the BB Creams that I use and I will apply my Loose Powder from Body Shop to set it and keep it looking matte as I love matte finish for makeup.

Verdict
I have used this BB cream for a very long time now and love that it gives me the coverage and outcome that I want. I find that this particular one makes my skin less oily compared to the purple tube. A really promising product!
I also have the Bio Multi Effect BB Cream (purple tube) and the Aqua BB Cream (turquoise tube) belongs to my mum and I have yet to try that one out. It's my second tube for the Bio Multi Effect BB Cream.

Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid Review
Texture
As freaky as the name of the product sounds (acid????), it is actually just a moisturiser. It's not like your typical creamy moisturiser though, it is in a water form. Thus be careful when you pour it out from the bottle to your palm. It's not sticky and is very light and can be easily absorb on your skin.

How I use this
I will pour a coin sized amount on to my palm and then rubbing it with both hands a little before patting it on my cheeks, forehead, nose, chin and on your entire face.

Verdict
I like it that it's light and watery and very absorbent. It does hydrates my skin very well but doesn't make it oily or shiny. After using it for quite sometime, it makes my skin soft and smooth and really bouncy to the touch. Another promising product you gotta try!
