Got a sample of Missha BB Cream in #21. I like it - it covers well but my face looks SO SHINY & wet!! So weird so I put on some anti-shine powder and it looked much better. I'm looking for something I can wear in the summer that matches my fair skin. #21 shade was okay but I think I could go lighter so probably try #13.
I've never ordered anything internationally besides the Memebox. I don't want to order stuff from this site and be hit with customs or any when it comes. Does anyone have any info on this? I'm in the USA.
PS : Maybe we should make a general Asian skincare/beauty thread and leave this one just for Memebox?
Hey girrrrllll. Anyway, I'm just seeing this post - but I wanted to give my two cents since I know we are both super pale.
Me, I'm like Scottish-grew-up-in-Alaska pale, and I have never found a foundation at the drugstore (or high end) that is light enough for me (only light enough when mixed with white foundation) -- except for Missha #13. Even Revolon Colorstay 110 is a tad off (usually recommended to me - but it is just too orange on me). I'd say definitely try out #13 if #21 didn' t look quite right. #13 matches my skin perfectly and takes the slight redness out of my skin. No weird dirty-dusty-muddy look, looks totally natural all day and in natural light, no oxidation (usually a problem for me). I also don't do any tanning in the summer, so it works for me year-round -- however, if you get sun in the summer, it's possible that #21 would be better for those months.
I've purchased on Amazon before and that was reliable (no extra fees, etc):

You could also try eBay for samples before diving into a full size:

-- I've purchased full size on eBay before, as well, and I've never had any problems. Just check the seller ratings, obvi.
Okay, sorry, from now on I will keep all of my korean skincare related posts in the other thread!
In other news... I'm starting to question why I purchased the Hair + Body box. It was a total impulse buy and now I am having that nervous-regretful feeling. EEk! I'm hoping that it really excites me when it actually arrives, but I also didn't think about the possibility of perfumes, which I know I won't use. Plus, I actually know nothing about Asian haircare, and I'm worried those products might not suit my fine-medium semi-wavy/frizzy hair. Fingers crossed my worries are for nothing.
