Korean BB Creams have the reputation for being the absolute best (although they were actually created by a German doctor and not in Asia as a lot of people think!) and yet they are notoriously tricky to source in the UK, which usually means we have to rely on eBay. I’m okay with eBay; I know it’s a risk but I do think it’s the only way we can get hold of certain products and for quite some time I relied on it for keeping my Bioderma stock going. However, I’m aware a lot of people aren’t a fan of using it and would prefer to purchase from a trusted source, so I’m pleased to report that there is a new UK Stockist for Korean BB Creams!
Best BB Creams stocks a decent range of Korean brands and isn’t just limited to BB Creams, despite what the name suggests. Keep in mind that the shop is very new, so there isn’t a large stock yet. Shipping appears to be a flat rate of £2.60 regardless of how many items you purchase, making it a far more suitable and purse-friendly approach to importing from Asia.
For the benefit of full disclosure, I’m being sent a few products to review from the site, but I wanted to let you know about it ASAP and not hold off until I could review a sample. You’ll find it here.
It’s definitely a better way of getting hold of them than ordering on ebay but the same problem remains of colour matching and getting a formulation that suits your skin.
Are they going to be doing sample sachets or are the expecting people to buy on the chance it’s the right one?

I also want to try those. Waiting for the full review.
Thank you Sarah for addressing the problem.
I have included the closest MAC shades in the additional
information of each BB cream and I will work on getting
samples.
Excellent – I’m never sure if BB creams cater to warm/cool or neutral skin tones but hopefully the good ones will let the natural colour shine through anyway.
I’ll have a look and see what you’ve got! If there’s that many it would be helpful for a small note with each one – eg *good for combination skin or *best for high spf coverage to help people make a decision.
Good luck with it tho!
We finally have samples available on our website!

I love BB creams but I wasn’t aware that the best ones were from Korea, you learn something new everyday!
It’s where the craze all began – although the idea actually started in Germany – but you will definitely find some of the best over there so well worth checking out! xx
