...was going to wait till the actual offering/deal day (I think Monday), but at this level...given the positives stated by the CEO, MCZ just seems too cheap for me not to start buying. Anyways, I added 80,000 so far today, which aint too much considering the share price.
Course we have a falling knife here so who knows where she bottoms and pops back up.
puestapete, raising three million plus dollars through this stock offering does put MCZ in a better situation to raise cash via the debt market, since lending institutions see that MCZ has strengthened its balance sheet making it less risky, and MCZ has shown it is willing and able to enter the secondary market to raise cash if necessary.
I'm not saying this is true with MCZ, but I have seen other companies raise cash via a stock offering, and follow that up near term with debt financing. Once company that did that was RCKY years ago (when it was trading around seven bucks)...and in that case the lender actually stipulated that they would only make a deal if RCKY raised a certain amount of cash through a stock offering first.
I think its way too early for anyone to even think about that. Maybe concerns about sector slowness, combined with the effects of the strong dollar.
I thought it was a pretty strong report. FNHC is still working through the huge, and I mean huge reinsurance expense increase that occurred last June.....I think given that, the earnings numbers they have been hitting are very high. Imagine in just a short while when they renegotiate their reinsurance premiums......on a apples to apples basis they should be coming down five to ten percent. So even with a small decrease in pricing, they have the ability to hold their margins up. And I am impressed with their continued growth. Again, all the other Florida insurers are barely increasing their Florida policy counts, and many are dropping. Others are picking up poor quality policies from whats left in Citizens. FNHC, on the other hand, continues to take market share from other insurers, and is continuing to grow on an organic basis....still the fastest growing insurer organincally in Florida by far. So far in 2015 they've added 14500 new policies (as of the date of the conf call). Last year's growth was just a teeny bit higher....at the same time they had added 15400 policies. Only a 100/week difference, and last year FNHC had a 57% growth rate in policies.....obviously that cant go on forever.
Anyway, we'll see. Their Monarch initiative was delayed, they thing it will start up by the end of the month...so a three month delay. Still, Monarch should start adding to FNHC's earnings in a significant way in less than a year.
Of course, FNHC continues to be a good trader, so nuttin wrong with selling into strength (for instance on earnings day betweeen 30.5 and 32.5) and looking to buy back lower.
I think thats fair. Competition has led to slightly lowered pricing by 2.5%, (but that is more than compensated for by the expected decrease in reinsurance expense of near 10%. So at least going forward for a year or so, it looks like margins may expand slightly...all else equal. And, in spite of the fact that profits for the sector have been super strong, at least two companies have gone out of business....which shows, imo, that FNHC can continue to increase market share and policy count, in the short run, since just like those two, other companies are not as well run as FNHC and they should continue to add new customers.
I dont see where you get that FNHC's current active policy count is lower than a year ago. In the conference call, the CEO stated that policy count increased by 57% in 2015 year end vs 2014 year end; and then in the Q&A he stated that as of the date of the conference call FNHC added and additional 14,500 year to date....basically a 3,000 policy/week average increase. Please tell me where you are getting your numbers which show anything different.
And the amazing thing is they are not adding any policies from Citizens....its all taking market share from competitors because, well, customers like FNHC better for some reason.
especially with this CEO....when things are going poorly, he sounds completey depressed in his earnings pr's.
Exactly Hopeful, and this CEO, for better or worse, wears his optimism on his PR sleeve. I remember when the CEO switched from negative comments about the bleak future to somewhat optimistic when SGMA was trading in the three's a few years back. Within fifteen months or so, the stock tripled. No guarantees on exactly how high SGMA goes, but I wouldnt be surprised at a double in a year or so. Heck, to do that it would only have to trade ten percent over tangible book value.
The January quarter has been their seasonally weakest, so I'm looking forward to increases in sales going forward really levering the bottom line (adjusted for equivalent tax rates). Looking forward to those new programs and customers ramping up....we know they could cause some initial difficulties and lumpiness, but the trend should be steadily up. And we all know that when a company trading at such a low price to book starts seeing operational improvements....the moves can be quick and sometimes crazy strong.
Q1 is APT's seasonally weakest quarter. Their biggest and most important division is their Building Materials division. They will face lots of headwinds from one of the worst winters in a long time.
But Spring's not too far away, Q2 could be decent.
They make only three pennies per share with the big ramp up in infectious control (masks etc.) this quarter due to ebola? Heck, they made more in last years December quarter which had none of this ebola hype.
huahua, just in case there was any confusion regarding your post; the actual total policy count was up a lot at the date of the conf call vs the prior year. thed did nont is not down year to date '15 vs '14.
But there were 14,500 new policies year to date in '15, vs 15,300 year to date in '14. So number of new policies per week year to date in 2015 was about 1,812, and about 100 more/week in 2014. So FNHC organic growth is still very high......still way way higher than any other Florida insurer.
As for competition, obviously they've been saying that for the past three conference calls, so not new, but certainly relevant. However, the positive news is that in the FNHC conf call (and also mentioned in UVE and UIHC), they stated that they believe reinsurranace rates (their biggest expense by far) will once again drop, and they expect a near 10% drop in expenses; which certainly would nicely complement any pressures due to competition.
...nice beat, they made .66 vs .43 estimate and are expected to increase earnings next quarter (as per earnings estimate). Stock not up that much, trading right about $21, up a buck or so.
pm ih
..., if you ex out the one timers, namely the $1.635 life insurance gain and the $441,000 investment loss; looks like on an after tax basis NSEC would have made .80/share for the December quarter....and that follows a .72/share September quarter, and that follows a .77 June quarter, and a .40 March quarter
OK, there was a life insurance benefit in one of the other quarters as well. If you take out all the one timers for fy 2014 (the life insurance benefit of $3.256 million, and the $441 investment loss in the fourth quarter), NSEC made an adjusted $2.14 for the year. And the stock trades at $14/share?
Oh, and by the way, NSEC has $17.05/share in net tangible assets. KInda head scratchin' cheap.
Now, I understand that the weak March quarter is next, and there was some bad weather...but jeeze, one time weather events shouldn't matter much given the Book Value and Earnings power.
UVE had a solid quarter, but they are up mostly because they are bringing their quota share down to zero starting July 1..............they'll have to finance a ton more reinsurance, but that will add a ton to earnings going forward.
Good news for FNHC two days ago. They renegotiated the State portion of their reinsurance (FHCF) a few days ago for coverage beginning June 30 2015, they were able to get about 11 or 12% more coverage and still get a 2.9% drop in total costs compared to last year (the larger private part won't be done till around June). Of course last years tremendous rise in reinsurance....were FHCF portion went up near 300%....is the reason for the downard pressure on EPS this last June quarter (and still somewhat going forward). Great news is that it looks like from the FHCF negotiations that they are getting a good deal on reinsurrance this year, plus they may only raise the total by a relatively small amount.....so the upcoming September quarter should start some real good comps year over year.
telecom, you do realize that the December quarter is far and away their strongest quarter, and noone was predicting a money losing quarter.....most estimates here were five to ten cents a share profit.
MCZ' strategy, as per Darren on the conf call, was to protect profits, and not sell at just to increase revenue. However, he also admitted that MCZ lost market share. I'm not saying he was right or wrong in his strategy, but often companies are willing to take small losses to hold or increase market share...the theory being once you give up that space on the shelves it is very hard to get back.
...sold half around$6.60 for a profit, government doesnt seem to like this one.
...25/share beats the estimate of .24, plus CPSS has pulled back a bunch from where it was trading a little while back. Seems pretty cheap here trading at an annualized forward p/e of what, just over 6? Still has good growth and earnings are expected to expand in '15.
Analysts have average price target of $9.75 on this one....lots of room.
Hey hopeful, my valuation method (15 times forward p/e) was somewhat arbitrary.....you could give it a two times tangible book ($27.00 target) or 18 times forward p/e $28.50 valuation if you like.
Just trying to make the point that for years, and up through now, RCKY has been given a valuation below its peers.....some of that was for good reason, but circumstances have changed. And maybe RCKY is now starting to be revalued at a more appropriate multiple relative to its industry peers because of RCKY metamorphosis.
....flip side is all that could be bunko, and RCKY could slide back.....we'll see.
For us long time RCKY traders (I've been trading since this thing since it dropped to the $2's) RCKY has always been valued on the cheap. Some reasons for lack of a earnings multiple might be because it used to sell alot of goods through vans/trucks direct to factory workers; it sold a significant portion to the US Military via government contracts; Western footwear was considered cultish and not a growth market. Well thats changed...they still sell direct to some factories, but through kiosk's and the web; military contracts have been small and non-steady...although they still sell direct to military personell without govt contracts; and Western has become more of a norm in fashion. We still carry very large inventories and are tethered to the weather and big seasonality.
Point is, maybe RCKY should be gettin closer to industry valuation averages. Right now, analyst estimate is for 20% growth in 2015, and another 20% in 2016...that is strong growth.. Its just an estimate, could be off, but thats what the analyst is estimating.. So backward earnings of $1.30, forward $1.60, and tangible book of $13.50...those are strong numbers.
Maybe its time RCKY trades closer to industry averages. I mentioned the 'apparel footwear and accessories category' as per yahoo carries an average p/e of 27.6, and an average price to book of 7.10. Maybe those numbers are too strong, but it still leaves RCKY plenty of room to get fat.'
Kinda arbitrary, and RCKY has not received these valuations before, but @ 15 times forward earnings, you get a $24 fair value target...seems reasonable to me. Especially given the strong tangible book value. Now RCKY has never gotten that full valuation before, so it may be reasonable to sell some lower, and hold the rest.
The estimate for the March quarter is at .12/share. With all the snow we've been getting, I think thats easily beatable so no reason for short term eps concerns. Also, RCKY should be announcing its next divvy any day.
westy, you do know that the price you sold at has nothing to with whether someone can be excited about the progress of RCKY? The world doesn't revolve around where you bought and sold this stock.

help with spindly sprouts?
I hope this link works (1st time posting pics).
Do the taller spindly sprouts looks ready to pot up?
They are a variety of vegetables, including tomatoes, spinach, cauliflower and brussel sprouts.
Also, should the stem be placed below dirt level because they're so gangly?
Spindly plant is an indication of not enough light. Are you using grow light or a window? when re potting bury the stem up to the first leaf. This should be done after the first set of true leaves appear. I have done it sooner but needs to be done very gently, and only if plants are falling over do to poor lighting. Hope this helps!
To post a link put it in the Optional link below the message box. the give the link a name.
I have 2 24" fluorescent grow tubes (that said "full spectrum" on the package and cost 10.00 each!) suspended 12" above the seedlings. However, I didn't turn the light on until the first sprouts poked through dirt (about 4 days after planting). Maybe that was a mistake?
Thanks for the helpful comments. As a neophyte, I've apparently way underestimated the light requirements. I now have my light right down nearly touching them. Is it possible to give them too much light, i.e., could leaving it on all the time counteract the spindly syndrome?
Thanks again.
No! don't leave them on 24/7. Plants need a sleep time (so to speak) 14 to 16 hours on is enough. Don't let the leaves touch the lights. They do burn if the bulbs are very hot. Another thing! Always water from the bottom, You don't want Damping off to get those tall seedlings. Good luck.

Under Armour Boys' Grade School Spine EVO Running Shoe 9 9
Under Armour doesn't disappoint Light Weight, High Tech 100% excellent product. Love these shoes for the price, quality and excellent performance. February 24, 2015
sweet! I bought these because I couldn't find a women's shoes I liked in green. They are comfortable, look good, and fit great! February 2, 2015
Mesh rips My son loved these shoes - lightweight and very comfortable. However, within 4 weeks of normal wear, the mesh where the toe flexes was ripping. He continued to wear them a couple more weeks and it only got worse. Definitely a design flaw. Dick's easily exchanged them for another pair of shoes. January 26, 2015
Great Shoes! My son loves these! Came quick and im a generic box so he coulsnt tell what they were. December 28, 2014
Under Armour Boys Shoes I bought these for my grandson. He loves bright colored shoes. He is also very hard on shoes so they have to be a good quality shoe so they will last as long as possible December 16, 2014
The service exceeded expectations! The Under Armour Boys' Grade Shoes were ordered for my grandson. I was very, very pleased how quickly the order arrived. My grandson loved the shoes. We will certainly be placing future orders with Dick's Sporting Goods. December 8, 2014
poorest quality under armour product ever made! The seems were already falling apart when taken out of box. There was glue stuck to the side of the shoe. You could find better quality shoes at Wal mart. Very poor product...I returned for a refund. November 29, 2014
They are ok. My son really liked the look of these shoes. He says they are pretty comfortable but not as comfortable as his nikes. The fit is somewhat awkward- too big in some spots and too tight in others. The laces are barely long enough to tie when fully laced and he has narrow feet. Some of the black paint is already peeling off after less than a week. Overall under armour makes some cool looking shoes but I think next time we pay more and get nike air max. They have always been comfortable and long lasting. September 19, 2014
my son loved them! these shoes have an excellent fit, true to size, my son absolutely loves the color, the design and the comfort September 17, 2014

Bath Drain/Overflow assembly choices
I am preparing to remodel my bathroom next week which includes replacing my old iron bathtub with an American Standard Princeton model. I also purchased a Deep Soak Drain Assembly by American Standard. I received it yesterday and am very disappointed in the quality of the cover plate! Chrome finish over a very light weight plastic. I have two concerns, what are some quality options. Also the behind the scenes portion is PVC. Should I get all brass or is PVC going to last? I have the toe push drain and that part of the assembly seems to be built well, but he cover plate looks really cheap and flimsy. I'm looking for something modern. All of my bathroom facets are the Delta Arzo Modern Polished Chrome, which are very angular and the square cover plate look like a good option. It's not.
Not only will the PVC outlast the brass, if the tub is skirted and the drain assembly will be in a concealed location your cannot use a slip joint type drain assembly unless you provide a 12"x12" service access panel either through an adjacent wall or from underneath. If you don't have the service access panel you must use either a glue in type PVC or ABS plastic or a solder in type brass unit.

Producer of "Ocean's Thirteen"
Producer Jerry Weintraub tells Moviehole that you should only make a movie if you have both a great script and a great cast. That's the only reason he's doing "Oceans Thirteen".
Some of the premieres for this film are going to help Darfur, is that correct?
Not all of them no, Los Angeles is our United States premiere And then the next evening in Las Vegas at Cine Vegas, I'm getting an award. I think I'm getting all these awards these years now because I'm getting so old that people are afraid that they'll have to come to my funeral. So, they give me an award instead of coming to my funeral. So, Cine Vegas is giving me the Vanguard Award; it's not a lifetime achievement award but an award that they give. And we're doing a premiere there for the Darfur Project, which is a fundraising project to put money into the field to save lives and we're very excited about it. We've raised millions, and that's just the beginning. We have a lot more coming in, and Steven Spielberg pledged a million bucks this morning to help us get over the top and we're all happy about that. Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, George Clooney, Brad Pitt have all been to the Sudan in the past year. That's how this all started and I haven't been there. I'm going to go there, not that they need another tourist there but I'm going to go there to look at it. And they came back and they were so moved that they had to do something about it and they did. George went to the UN, Don wrote a book, which is number 6 on the New York Times Best Seller list, and now, I'm trying to raise money to make it all work. So, we have that Vegas premiere and then Chicago the next evening, which is sponsored by Vanity Fair and they are also raising a great deal of money for Darfur. And all the guys are going in and everyone's excited, and when I say all the guys, I include Ellen Barkin in that.
Has she become one of the guys now?
She's a really hot looking guy, if she's a guy. I don't know what's the matter with me but she's a hot looking guy.
And the project is called Not On Our Watch.
NotOnOurWatchProject.org and you can send a donation there.
Can you talk about the Ocean's Club on the set? What was that?
The Ocean's Club was something that I dreamt up because we all hang out together and we're always all together and usually we're in the trailer or we're in some little corner of the lot some place drinking espressos, so I said, 'Why don't I just build a little club where everybody can hang out and enjoy themselves and be together.' It was basically some place where we could be together because what we do off the screen they take onto the screen. We have breakfast together. We have lunch together. We have dinner together, then we have drinks together. It's the only set in the world that nobody has a chair on, except me, and nobody has a monitor except me and everybody hangs out. And when they're not shooting, they still come around. Even if they're not working that day, the biggest stars in the world, they come to the set because we enjoy ourselves and we really like being together. That doesn't mean we don't work hard. We work very hard and we get a lot of work done in a short period of time because we're so close. So, it's good.
You started the first one 6 years ago, how did you get everybody back together?
I got them back together because we got a great script and that's what the movie business is about. It starts with a script. Actors of this caliber and directors of Soderbergh's caliber don't come into projects for money or for any other reason except a good script. They find something that they really want to do and I'm at a point in my life where I'm 69 years old. I don't know how many movies I'm going to make or not make in the future and I don't have to make movies. I've done extraordinarily well. I'm a very lucky guy. So, I don't have to make any films. So, we try very hard to find things that we think are going to work and be enjoyable to make. None of these guys that are in this film need a film. They all can get as many films as they want. So, for them to commit to this, it has to be a script that they believe in and they really do believe in this. And it turned out great. It's very, very funny. It's a lot of fun and I think it's going to do very, very well and that's it. That's what it's all about.

I live in Scotland but haven't actually managed to see that much of the UK & ROI, which I'm trying to rectify now :)
I'm also a huge fan of Southern Europe, specifically France, Italy, and Greece, and would love to explore that area more.
If I never had to worry about money again, I would spend my life traveling, reading, talking to all kinds of people, accumulating degrees.
The 5 things I can't live without are:
Books (or my Kindle)
The internet
Cake or ice cream (depending on the season)
People I can talk to for hours

Review: Aspirin cuts cancer rates
LONDON — Taking a small daily dose of aspirin can significantly reduce the risk of developing — or dying from — bowel, stomach and esophageal cancer, according to a large review of scientific studies.
Researchers who analyzed all available evidence from studies and clinical trials assessing benefits and harm found that taking aspirin for 10 years could cut bowel cancer cases by about 35 percent and deaths from the disease by 40 percent.
Rates of esophageal and stomach cancer were cut by 30 percent, and deaths from these cancers by 35 to 50 percent.
Professor Jack Cuzick, head of the center for cancer prevention at Queen Mary University of London, said the evidence showed that to reap the benefits of aspirin, people need to take a daily dose of 75 to 100 milligrams for at least five years and probably as long as 10 years between the ages of 50 and 65.
No benefit was seen while taking aspirin for the first three years, and death rates were reduced only after five years, he and his team reported in a review in the Annals of Oncology journal.
"Our study shows that if everyone aged between 50 and 65 started taking aspirin daily for at least 10 years, there would be a 9 percent reduction in the number of cancers, strokes and heart attacks overall in men, and around 7 percent in women," Cuzick said in a statement about the research.
The researchers warned that taking aspirin long-term increases the risk of bleeding in the stomach: Among 60-year-olds who take daily aspirin for 10 years, the risk of digestive tract bleeding increases from 2.2 percent to 3.6 percent, and this could be life-threatening in a small proportion of people, they said.

The HERA Women's Cancer Foundation is an exceptional organization that has served not only the medical community through it's science grants but the support community as well through community grants. The Climb4Life Series as well as the Run Like a Girl series give creative ways for everyone to participate and help end this vicious and and aggressive cancer. During my work on Climb4Life Boston, I heard countless stories of lives ravaged by ovarian cancer. I learned that more than 15,000 women will die of this disease each year. Through activism and activity this organization has been bringing awareness, funding and a commitment to Health Empowerment Research and Awareness. Working with them has changed my life and the lives of so many women who might otherwise not have known the symptoms or had a support system during and after their illness.

I have participated in HERA events and have also, through my own small Ovarian Cancer related non-profit, been a grant recipient. I first heard of HERA shortly after completing my original treatment for ovarian cancer. I was thrilled to find an organization that supports basic, front line research. My family and I were thrilled to participate in a Climb 4 Life event. The climbing is a wonderful way to get folks involved-- beyond the usual running crowd. A highlight of the events is having the local recipients of research monies come to describe their research.

Two yellow minis
Here are a couple of yellow minis that are looking pretty good right now:
Bee's Knees -- with just a hint of color in the petal edges
Yellow Jacket -- an older mini by Christianson and one of the deeper yellow minis I have found
This is a good rose season here in Southern California. Coming out of a fairly dry winter the roses are healthy, blooming freely and bountifully.
Inga -- well I'm glad you are enjoying the roses to the extent you are doing including participating here on the GW forums.
Kathy -- ditto for myself. Can't get enough yellows.
I am trialing several more yellow minis (in a range of tones and shades) and will post photos when available. If you are interested in one or more of them please let me know and I can propagate some for you.

I enjoyed making this and the photos with the instructions were very helpful. I think I'll be making this one more than once.
Pattern wont load
I was a fairly easy pattern to follow but I did have to reread the directions & redo a few rows/stitches to get started. Once I got that figured out it was easy & quick. I plan to try making another one with a wider scarf section.
Not difficult to do, but I did have to concentrate on the directions & redo a few rows when I first started it. Made more sense as I went along. It turned out quite nice and I'm starting another one, hoping to make a bit wider scarf section.
Like other comments, I find the directions very confusing, even with the pictures. I don't know who the "easy" is for, perhaps someone with a lot of experience? I love the look, but.....
I really like this, I have printed the pattern off as I am a beginner and thought that being easy I would be ok to try it but don't understand how it is started. Please help!!!
i keep trying to get the pattern.... doesnt take you anywhere.... help i like it and need the pattern...thanks laureen

After trying many foundations (drugstore and high-end) I have decided and they don't quite match up to my skintone well. I'm Asian but my skin has a mostly neutral undertone with a slight tendency towards yellow. The only thing I've found that matches my skin the best is Dior Star in #10.
I've tried some CC cushion thing when I went to Korea and I liked how well it suited my skintone. The Missha BB cream in pink packaging is passable in the spring/fall time but it's too dewy for my combination skin.
This, however, solved my problems. I can use this in early winter or early spring and it has just enough yellow undertones to suit my face. I got this off eBay but I know that it's easy to find in Korea/Asia.
The first thing I noticed was the pretty frosted glass packaging. It's heavy so won't be fun to travel with, I suppose. The jar with a spatula is nice since I'm used to no-pump glass bottles. I like to swirl the spatula before scooping some out onto the back of my hand.
One of the ingredients listed is marine mint water and that gives off a cooling sensation upon application. Despite the thick mousse texture, I don't feel it once it's been blending out (with Sigma 3DHD or Real Techniques Buffing Brush). I have the Aqua Neutral and it's a perfect match for me. At first I was worried that some of the ingredients might bother my sensitive skin but that never happened.
I have quite oily T-zones but also dry undereye areas. This BB worked nicely on all areas on my face. It leaves a dewy finish but with a good powder, it lasts all day. One layer gives a medium coverage but you can built it up to a full coverage. It can even cover acne and acne scars with two or three layers and even that doesn't feel like anything on my skin.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who can get it. It's worth it and I imagine that it would work on most skin types unless you have super oily skin.

This is my holy frail BB cream! I first bought this about a year and a half ago. I tried it, and loved it! Then I made the horrible decision to give it a break and try other BB creams. Nothing could compare! First of all, this BB cream is VERY lightweight. The coverage is light to medium, but you can also build it up without it getting cakey. It does only come in two colors unfortunately for those with darker skin tones. I am in the shade #2 Aqua Neutral. Because of the BB creams jelly-like texture, it blends smoothly and melts right into the skin. This finish is very natural, neither matte nor dewy. It also has a nice, fresh, clean smell to it. Almost floral. That lasting power is also amazing. it stays on without even nudging for about 5-6 hours. After that you may need to touch up in oily parts of the face. However, this BB cream works great with natural oils on the face. So if you have oily/combo skin, this could be for you! Like I said, this is my holy grail BB cream. It is worth every cent! ^-^

This is a fabulous BB cream. It's water based and includes some great ingredients, including a physical sunblock. I usually add a little bit of my moisturizer to thin it out a bit so that way it spreads more easily. Coverage is medium. My skin is combination and I have acne scars and hyperpigmentation on my cheeks. This BB cream covers it pretty well. By the way, many things break me out, but this BB cream did not. I do find that towards the end of the day my face does get a bit oily but it's nothing too serious. I can't give this a perfect 5 because the shades are very light. I'd say if you are anywhere between an NC 15- NC 25, you should be ok for color matching. I have shade 2 which is suppose to be the darker of the two, but with my NC35 tone, it's just too light. I usually have to mix a darker foundation. Other than the shade, this BB cream is a great deal. Very lightweight and your skin does not feel suffocated. I got mine on Amazon for about $15 including shipping. The glass jar is very cute but heavy for traveling. And for those who don't like fragrance, well, this does have a slight fruity fragrance.

I'm absolutely obsessed and in love with this BB!❤❤❤ Ever since pimples wrecked havoc on my face, I decided to ditch some of my foundations and powders and shifted to BB and CC creams - as these guys proved to be mild and light on the skin. This guy is so light yet it covers blemishes and redness. Its consistency is gel-like and just glides on smoothly on skin upon application. Once it dries, your skin looks flawless yet natural-looking sans the oiliness. For me this can replace foundations! Will definitely buy more of this on my trip to Hong Kong - I heard these are really cheap there. Truly in love with this!

This is one of the best BB creams I have used. It has a unique jelly-like texture that allows the product to sink into the skin almost immediately, and it gives a very natural finish. I have normal to combination skin and it lasts throughout the day for me. The only reason why I gave this product four stars is because it is water-based and dries out my skin during the winter. Apart from that, I love it!

I am surprised by how much I like this product, which seems to target teens with it's darling pastel-polka-dotted box and sweet flower-shaped glass jar. This is my favorite weekend foundation since it offers very limited coverage. Here's how it breaks down:
- lightest shade is an excellent shade match for my N15 skin tone
- aforementioned adorable cute packaging and heavy glass jar; paddle wand built into the lid is sanitary and works well to mix and access product
- sheer coverage that neutralizes my rosacea redness
- finish is perfectly skinlike: neither too matte nor too shiny
- doesn't oxidize or slide off -- lasts a good six hours with no touchups (as long as I set it with powder in a.m.)
- cheap price
- easily found online
- only comes in two shades
- jelly texture is truly bizarre and is even a bit curdled-looking -- for Western tastes, this may be too far outside the comfort zone
- offers minimal coverage
- fairly strong floral fragrance (why does a foundation need fragrance? makes no sense.)
Overall this is an excellent product for people with fairly good skin -- highly recommend!

I have mixed feelings about this product. I love the outcome (color) that is on my face but in a few hours my face would look dry and flakey (which I absolutely hate).

I lived in Korea for a few years and have tried many BB, CC, and cushion makeup products since they are so popular and affordable. The only two Ive kept are the Holika Holika Aqua Petite Jelly BB Cream SPF 20 PA++ and the Skinfood Red Orange Jelly BB Cream SPF 20 PA++. Both are very similar in texture (water-based gels) and coverage (light, buildable to medium) and differ only in packaging and smell. Both products come in two shades and do not have that color matching technology some BB creams do, so what you see is what you get. I use the darker color, #2, in both.
I am Asian and have oily, NC25 skin that is prone to breakouts. My skin will let me know immediately with little bumps under the skin if a foundation is not right for me. My skincare routine consists of brightening products which make my yellow-toned skin lean neutral and prescription acne medication which can make my chin dry. When buying base makeup, I like dewy foundations that feel light on the skin with no fragrance and light to medium coverage. From my experience, BB, CC, and cushion makeup products are generally a miss because they are thick, sticky, and far too light and ashy. These two BB creams are the only ones Ive liked.
The Holika Holika Aqua Petite Jelly BB Cream SPF 20 PA++ (40mL) is $13 CAD and $7 CAD during the monthly Holika Holika sales. The BB cream comes in a heavy, glass, frosted bottle with a spatula cap, and a free makeup sponge. The jelly cup shaped bottle is cute but not good for travel. When you open the bottle, the product wiggles. When you scoop the product out with the spatula cap, the product retains its shape. Upon application, the product feels cool to the skin due to the peppermint. It has a mild fragrance and the texture is light and spreads like water. You cannot feel the sunscreen at all. Because of this watery texture, it dries very quickly, can look streaky, and can cling to dry patches. Unlike most Korean base products, this BB cream has a semi-matte finish that gives a beautiful glow with wear. Because of this semi-matte finish however, the BB cream starts looking white when you build it up. On my NC25 skin, I can only use this during the winter. Even then, I do rely on bronzers and my natural oils to oxidize the product for a better color match. I wish it came in darker shades because the light gel texture and semi-matte finish would be great for the summer.
The Skinfood Red Orange Jelly BB Cream SPF 20 PA++ (25g) is $10 CAD. The BB cream comes in a pot so spatulas and Q-Tips will need to be used to keep the product sanitary. Like the Holika Holika Aqua Petite Jelly BB Cream, the product wiggles, retains its shape, and has a light gel texture that spreads like water. The orange smell is pleasant in the pot but bizarre on the face. Luckily, the smell dissipates fast. Compared to the Holika Holika BB cream, the Skinfood one is dewier and a touch darker. The color is therefore more forgiving in the summer but I would still recommend it overall for winter because of the dewy finish.
In summary, I like the semi-matte finish, scent, and buildable coverage of the Holika Holika Aqua Petite Jelly BB Cream but the color of the Skinfood Red Orange Jelly BB Cream. Neither products are perfect but fair for the price tag. I think fairer skinned girls will have better luck with the product.

This is the best BB cream I've come across hands down. I have oily skin so I love that this product is water based. It's finish is more dewy than matte but it's not oily looking or shimmery; it just looks like natural healthy skin. This also lasts incredibly well on my skin. I can get 6 hours of wear before getting shiny if I set it with the tiniest bit of powder. You do have to work quickly with this and in sections because it dries extremely fast and once it sets it locks into place. I would say the coverage is medium and I wouldn't recommend trying to build it up or it will look cakey. I wear shade #1 and I have skin so pale that it's nearly impossible to find a shade light enough and when I do it's usually really pink. This is a pale shade but more neutral warm which works really well for me. It looks darker in the jar than when it's blended out on the skin. The only complaints I have about this are that it transfers a little bit and the packaging is large and bulky so not ideal for travel since it's glass. Sitting on your makeup counter it looks really cute though and it contains so much product and you only need a little bit so it will last you for a really long time.

I have only had this for a few days, but so far I am fairly enjoying it.
-The packagaing is absolutely adorable. It is in a glass container that looks like a jello cup, and has a handy spatula to scoop out the product. I think this is the reason why most people buy it initially :P
-It does provide a light to medium coverage. I find the best method of application is dotting it all over your face, and then using a dampened stippling brush to blend it in.
-It is mostly water based, so it is good for people with sensitive skin or combination-oily skin
-Nice semi-matte, satin finish
-The packaging is cute but can be unsanitary. I suggest scrapping the product off with a tool of some sort before putting it back into the container to avoid contaminating the whole thing
-It dries VERY fast, so you have to work quick
-Can accentuate dry patches
-Both colors are very fair
-Does not last all day
Although the cons out weigh the pros, I do like this product. I think the price is right ($13 on Amazon from TIKTOK) and looks nice in my makeup collection :)
