For my first use of BB cream, my sister in law let me use her BB cream... As it was my brother in law's 21st, I thought why not put some make up on... Had assumed that it would have helped with my rosy red cheeks and possibly even cover my freckles... But not a chance! Red cheeks stood out like donkeys balls and if anything, it made me look even frecklier! Maybe had a dud batch as all the other reviews are great :(

Reviews
I found this looked terrible on my skin. It made me look like an oily mess even though I have dry skin. The colour was also bad and my dry patches were made worse. Sorry but a big no for me.
I purchased this after seeing numerous positive reviews online. I'm sad to say I did not have the same experience. The product was so thick, the bottle is small and it made my skin oily. I wouldn't recommend this product but everyone's skin is completely different so it could be worth a shot.
I got this product in a box of sale products a while ago from one of the sale sites. My favourite tinted moisturiser has been discontinued so I was keen to try this.
It comes in an easy to access twist top tube, which is simple and exactly what I like. The problem for me though is that the product itself is quite thin and runny. when I apply it, it glides on easily and gives me a hint of coverage but not enough as it is a bit too thin. It's probably better suited to people who already have a very even complexion. But it's not for me unfortunately.
I got this in the light tint, it matched my tone quite nicely, however I found it a bit hard to apply without it looking streaky, I prefer to use my fingers so that could have been the problem. A sponge may be better but they tend to freak me out germwise lol.
It only had a mattifying effect for maybe 1-2 hours, then my skin was all shiny and oily again, even with powder over it, I had to blot all afternoon and it didn't exactly leave me looking very crash hot by the end of the day. It also stuck to the patchy dry bits around my nose & chin and made it stick out like a sore thumb.
As for my acne, it did give me some decent redness coverage but when I washed it off my blemished areas were more inflamed & red, I felt more like it was only covering the problem and not actually fixing anything.
I have bought this twice, didn't like it the first time either, but after giving it away I thought I'd give it another go, but ended up giving it away again lol. I'm just not that into liquidy type of foundationy stuff on my face. I'm still a powder girl I'm afraid.
I have combinaton skin. My Acne seems to be present in my t-zone, however this product exacerbated my issue horrendously, and i literally have acne everywhere, cheeks, under chin etc. It is oily and I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
Tips: If you really need a good BB cream I would pay the big bucks.
I honestly don't like this BB cream. Its extremely thick and it feels like i have a few extra layers of skin. I feel like my face is sticking out. It really oily and you can certainly feel it on your skin. However, it did do what it said it would and that was to give me great coverage. I just don't believe that anyone needs THAT much coverage. I would not recommend this to anyone i know.
This is a low to medium coverage tinted moisturiser, so I didn't expect it to work as a full cover foundation. However, I expected it to keep my skin matte and oil free which it did not.
My biggest complain is that this range doesn't come in warm shades. There are 5 shades and they all have pink undertones. So disappointing. Secondly, even if it is advertised for oily skin, this makes the skin oilier.
I found this product to be too thick for my liking. It didn't spread well or have enough moisture for me to continue using. It was obvious and didn't blend.
This BB cream is terrible!! What the hell I swear my skin looks worse after using it. It has such bad coverage, doesn't conceal redness, it smells bad, looks bad. Its terrible I'd never buy or recommend this product again
