(Right: American Version-Left: Asian Version)
Dr. Jart was the first brand of BB cream I tried. I first bought the "Asian" version of the BB cream at a beauty supply shop selling Asian cosmetics and goodies. I absolutely fell in love with this BB cream! It had a thick consistency but it was still easy to blend. The coverage was amazing for a BB cream. It gave me enough and I never used concealer with it. Slowly my tube of BB cream was coming down to its end. I was searching where else I could find this BB cream for a cheaper price.
And around this time Sephora stores starting selling Dr. Jart+ and this was when America was introduced to BB creams and American companies were starting to make them! I went on the Sephora website not too sure if the Black Label Detox was carried by Sephora, and luckily it was! Next week I went to Sephora and purchased the "American" version of this BB cream.
Now there are some differences with theses BB creams. The "American" version has a pump while the "Asian" version is a squeeze tube. I love both of these packaging. Now the texture of each is slightly different. The "Asian" version as a I said is thicker and I love it because of that! The "American" version is slightly more watery and not as a thick as the "Asian" version. Color wise of these products are slightly different as well. As you can tell the "American" version is slightly more yellow and the "Asian" one is more neutral toned. They both claim to do the same thing, but the "Asian" version makes it much more simple to understand while the "American" version goes into detail with what ingredients are in and what they do. (You'll understand if you go into a Sephora store and read the back of the bottle.)
Overall this is probably my favorite BB cream that I have ever tried! And the only downside with all these Asian BB creams are that they only come in one shade. Though I have learned that you can still wear it no matter what color you are, just make sure your setting powder is darker and matches your skin tone.
