My holy-grail BB cream has to be Skin79 VIP Gold Collection Super+ Beblesh Balm, and the powder pact that goes best with it, in my opinion, is Skin79 Sun Protect Beblesh Pact SPF30 PA+. Both products appear in my 2013 Best Beauty Products List, so you can get an idea of how much I love them.

Price: 515,000 VND (about US$24)
Packaging: I just ADORE the color and the design of this powder! It's pink and as you may know from my previous posts, pink is my favorite color :) The compact also reminds me of Sailor Moon's brooch for some reason. I love the face that there's a plastic lid to separate the puff and the powder because if I reapply throughout the day, the dirt and oil on my face will transfer onto the puff, and the powder may be contaminated when coming into direct contact with the puff. (However, as it turns out, I don't actually use the puff at all!)

Shade: The product comes in only one shade, and luckily, it looks quite natural on me.
Coverage: It has a medium coverage. It doesn't cover my dark circles or big spots completely, but works well enough with minor flaws like discoloration or faint acne scars.
Oil-control ability: In summer, my skin will oil up after 2 hours with this on. However, in winter, it keeps my face matte for up to 5 hours.
Application: I tried applying this with the puff, but it just looked powdery and cakey. The best way, in my opinion, is to use a brush to lightly apply all over the face (I said "lightly" because if I over-apply it, I end up with a caked-up face).
Sun-protection property: Last summer, I travelled to Malaysia and Singapore for one week, and I didn't apply sunscreen on my face because I hadn't found any suitable sunscreen for my face. I used Skin79 VIP Gold Collection Super+ Beblesh Balm and top it off with this powder, and my face didn't burn or even tan at all (and the weather was super sunny and scorching hot).
Bonus: This compact powder doesn't clog my pores or break me out.
Drawbacks: It contains mineral oil and paraben. It also accentuates dry patches, so I don't recommend this to those with dry skin.
Repurchase?: I'd love to, but I really want to try Innisfree No-sebum Mineral Powder next.
