Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

You can pick this up at the local supermarket but it only has 3 colour options light, medium and dark. Light is a little too light for my face. Medium I have a spray tan. Matchability on your face will not be the greatest. If it is going under foundation, this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

It is in a small screw top tube with the lid being a turquoise-blue in colour. The lids help differ it from the Dream fresh range, similar tube, different lid. It does contain a spf of 15. The coverage is light, you can see it is there but it doesn’t cover freckles, spots etc and if you don’t rub it in properly you can see it. Application is easy. Fingers, sponge or brush, your choice. When put in your hand it forms a puddle rather than holding a shape like a thicker cream. It is very liquid as opposed to creamy. About the size of a pea should be enough to cover your face and start down your neck. I use this for the no made up make up look rather than foundation with mineral powder on top even though it does have a matte finish.

Will I purchase again? If in need, yes but there are other CC and BB creams I want to try once this is finished. Mainly to find a better match with my skin tone.

I ordered this off mightyape for $15. I have dry skin, and wanted something abit lighter than foundation to wear on days i dont want full coverage. As always i moisturise and prime before applying, it has quite a thin consistancy but blends out well, but after an hour or two of wear it went oily! I have dry skin and this NEVER happens. Even when i set this with powder and setting spray i still end up looking oily so i was not impressed.,

Not a fan of this bb cream, it made my face feel dry - maybe better for ladies with oily skin? it wasn't enough coverage for me, so I really wouldn't repurchase this. There's many better bb creams out there.

To begin with i liked this product, it did an OK job. But since finding much better BB creams this one does not compare at all. I found I got very oily throughout the day and didn't offer very much coverage. My skin is constantly red so I need quite a bit of colour correcting and coverage to combat this.

I was recently given a tube of this in medium, so thought I'd give it a go (I regularly use Chichi's BB cream so this isn't something I would purchase on my own).

The first thing I noticed is that the tube is tiny! I definitely would only buy this if it was on sale, I don't think it's better than any of the better value BB creams on the market. The packaging is ok, nothing special.

The product itself is just a standard liquid BB cream formula. It does have a really faint smell to it that's not awesome, but isn't too noticeable. I found that it does feel quite nice on your skin when you apply it, it's not heavy and blends in easily. The texture looks very natural which is good. I did need to use quite a bit to do my full face, so I don't know how long such a tiny tube would last.

Appearance wise, it did give pretty decent coverage. Unlike my other BB cream it isn't shiny so you could probably get away with wearing it without any powder, although I feel with powder on top you would get very good coverage with this product. The trade off is that it is only SPF 15, I would want something with higher SPF on my face if I was going to be in the sun all day. It does have a reasonably natural matte finish to it, although the colour almost looks muddy on some parts of my face. I think the lighter shade would suit me better, although I still feel that the colour should look more even than it does.

Overall, it looks fine and would be ok as a daily BB cream where you don't have time to fuss with primers and powders in the morning. I definitely do think there are better BB creams out there though.

I'm a very fussy BB cream person and this is another one that has failed to impress me. The colour I got was medium to dark, so the shade was not the correct one, but despite that, I did use it and I just felt disappointed again. They keep bringing out all these BB creams which promise to cover, but at the end of the day, I just find they don't. Whether it is because I have troubled skin or just because its mainly directed at a light coverage I don't know. If you're looking for something that you could use as a base, then this would definitely do the job, but if you have problem skin like me, then I'm afraid you will be just as disappointed as I am with it. It does go on really well though, its not horrible and thick like some can be, so in that respect it is good, but thats as far as it goes unfortunately.

Personally, I didn't really like this - at all! It was really dry on my skin, didn't have much coverage, and caused my skin to become ultra dry and also caused a little bit of pimples.

This is the first bb cream I have mixed feelings about and it probably doesnt end well.

Applying to skin I like the texture of the cream and love the smell. It glides on smoothly and evens out without any hassle. I use the light/meduim shade and it fits my skin tone perfectly.

I do have lots of lots acne scarring and an uneven skin tone so I dont feel comfortable using the bb cream on it own without a powder or a foundation. It doesnt give me full coverage but rather minimal.

I usually have to avoid bb creams when my acne is bad and angry cause it flares up but this bb cream doesnt make my acne any worse which I am very pleased about.

The however cream doesnt last the entire day, more like a couple of hours and then my face goes oily.

This isnt the worse bb cream I've used but its not the best bb cream either. For the price it costs I'm not too drawn to using it and there are other products available at the same price or slightly more expensive that give me great coverage, last the entire day and dont make my skin oily.

I found this BB cream pretty average. It says it even skin tones and helps redness, but it didn't not do this for me. Its quite runny and if I was to use this every day, it would not last me 2 weeks.

I brought this hoping it would be amazing like the other BB creams i have brought. I got it in the colour Light and it was way to dark for me and quite orange. I do have quite pale skin. I found once i had it on for a couple hours it went more orange and came off quite quickly.... If they make a lighter colour i may try again :)
