2 weeks ago, I place an order on Gmarket Sg for these two little "bebe" <3 which was shipped all the way from their hometown Korea!

Pics spam!!! lolx

VOV Ball on Cheek #01 Bebe Pink

Swatches in flash/without flash

VOV Ball on Cheek #02 Bebe light

Swatches with flash/without flash

The pigmentation of this cheek balls was pretty sheer/average... not too pigmented nor light.

I like the softness of blush shade.

When I hold each "ball" to swatch, it doesn't feel too creamy nor chalky.

Look abit frosty on the swatches,  but it doesn't look too crazy/strong on the cheeks.

It give a nice glow on the skin.

The cute little pink box is made of plastic (not paper cardboard type)
