Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Cream

This was the first BB cream I ever purchased, and Im not sure why, but Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream was the one I was drawn to, and I purchased one in Farmers.

The BB Cream comes in a soft plastic tube, with a gradient brown to white colour, and with the Maybelline BB cream logo in a pink, which adds some colour. Personally, I didn’t like the packaging. It is pretty standard, and not that appealing being brown in colour.

This BB cream is very thin, and that must be the water base approach this product has. There are both pros and cons to the consistency of this product. The pro being its very light weight, and sets on the skin very quickly. The cons however, seem to outweigh the pros. The cons are this formula is so thin, it almost drips out of the tube, and the water based formula gives such a light coverage, that it really makes this product unsuitable for any day your skin is not perfect to start off with! Additionally, after purchasing this product, and using it on and off for a while, the formula of the product changed, and the product slightly separated, even after a good shake. Im not sure why this is, but its not very appealing to use.

When I first started using this cream, I had quite smooth skin with little to no blemishes.. So this cream was good just for evening it out skin tone. But the coverage was really light, and quite minimalistic. Also for the warmer months, this BB cream just washes my skin out because it’s not dark enough for my skin tone once it darkens in summer. I can notice that it has a soothing effect on my skin, and I can feel this when I first apply the BB cream. I find this feeling lingers for a bit, but no longer then 2-3minutes. I wouldn’t say this product enhances or brightens either. For the days my skin is not perfect (pretty much every day recently), this BB cream does not provide decent enough coverage.

I honestly won’t be repurchasing this BB cream, and won’t be recommending this to friends or family, or any of you lovely BR members, simply for the fact that this product is so light-weight, that it’s hardly worth wearing this product at all.

I saw this at a makeup sale for $12 and had seen the BB cream raves in magazines so thought I'd pick it up for a bargain and try it out. As a moisturiser I think it's ok it does make my skin feel soft but I was hoping I could use this on days when I didn't feel like putting makeup on but still wanted my skin to look nice (I rarely leave the house without makeup). I have freckles and rosacea which I hate but felt like this did nothing for the appearance of my skin. It is too light to cover any imperfections and its difficult to apply enough coats to get the desired look as it gets streaky. I think I'll stick to my full face of makeup!

This is quite light, not enough, I think to cover up much. Despite the fact it claims to not be very oily, I feel it made my breakouts even worse than ever, as it seemed to get worse a couple of days after I used it. I definitely perfer foundation over BB cream, and I doubt I'll ever buy another one, let alone Maybelline's BB Cream

I have this in the shade light. I'm not sure how to fell about this product. Immediately after being applied it's fine, average coverage for a BB Cream. It felt fresh on the skin like the title suggests and is rather light to wear but after re-evaluting an hour or so later it seems the colour had faded - so I would say it isn't long lasting and not ideal for all day wear.

I took some photos with this product on and then without and I found that that my skin had a pale glare in the photos that I was wearing it - which is less than ideal when you are going out to events where you are likely to want to take a billion photos because you look like a pale beam of light compared to all your golden or even-toned friends

I really like this bb cream, it is amazing in many ways. Firstly it was literally the only bb cream/foundation type thing in the store that I got it from that matched my skin tone, as I am very pale and most cosmetics make me look like a pumpkin. Secondly it is really well priced. Thirdly it is amazingly easy to apply, goes on well on top of sunblock as well as without sunblock (if i am wearing it at night) and covers up any imperfections. I have also found it usefull as a concealer for days that I do not wish to wear a lot of makeup, it blends in well and is not too heavy. It is also good in that it doesnt leave my skin feeling oily like many other cosmetics do.

What a product! I am so impressed with how it feels on! I do however have to be careful with my clothing as it easily rubs against my collars and comes off sometimes, but not to worry! Its silky finish makes up for it

I used this product as a light coverage and when I say light I mean light. It feels fresh and great on the skin but I only really use it as a cover up to go to the supermarket, beach or as a base for my foundation. All in all its a good price for what is is and for the everyday round the house look I happily use it

This product I doubted for a long time I hated what others thought about it and it kind of let me down. But u decided to buy it and I was so impressed I like this bb cream but don't love it its a good bb cream doesn't make me look orange. I used the light tone because my skins medium but light it worked I guess. I would reccomrnd this for light skinned girls its an awesome product

This product looks and definitely FEELS fresh but its effect is only temporary. After a couple of hours I found this product (in the shade: light) caked and darkened slightly in colour, making it look unnatural and it did not match my skin tone. I could also then feel this stuff sitting on top of my skin and it was really uncomfortable and gross.
