The fairest shade is still a bit too dark for me, so I mix it with a white foundation which actually gives this lightweight mixture a bit of oomph. It’s a bit oily for me, I really need to massage it right in for an even coverage, otherwise it sort of sticks to patches, if that makes sense. It’s really light coverage, so don’t expect this to be using dark circles under your eyes. You can expect a more toned complexion with reduced pores.

Reviews
The one in the blue tube with salicylic acid for acne prone skin. Would have never bought for me as my skintype is definitely not acne prone - however was given this by my mum who bought it and it was too light for her. The shade light is the perfect shade for me, extra pale and yellow toned. Great coverage and blendability - just a tad to drying for me though, ok now in the heat of summer but I have to apply a rich creamy lotion underneath otherwise this gathers in my pores and dry bits. Nice BB cream all-round though and a good price too.
This was my first ever voyage into the world of BB creams it left my skin with a soft veil of glitter that kind of made my face look sweaty, I guess it was trying to achieve the dewy sheer look, I'm more of a matte finish girl. the addition of translucent powder helped but melted away during the day.
The packaging is cute in an easy to use tube which means you should get every last drop out of it, and cost wise its very reasonable, however as I stated I prefer a matte finish so I wouldn't purchase again due to that, but would recommend to others
I used this on a daily basis for most of summer - I love that it provided a little bit of coverage on days I didn't want to wear make-up. It was easy to just chuck on as I was running out the door - no fuss, light, fresh and not much could go wrong (like foundation lines etc). I have since moved on to creams like this, just ones that provide a bit more coverage and SPF 30. But it is a good product to start with.
I really liked the end result, but found I couldnt touch my face without it being on my fingers! Great for a natural look
Tips: Try putting a sheer powder over the top to make sure it doesnt move as easily :)
I have tried quite afew BB creams before using this one, and for the first couple of uses I wasn't impressed. It have very low coverage, and the product is quite thin compared to what I would normally use. I stopped using it for a while, then started reusing it, and I did like it abit better, but its not for me. I prefer others over this.
Tips: Mix with foundation or another BB cream for better coverage, or use a powder on top.
This BB cream is light weight and glides on nicely. I really only use it as a base to make my skin nice and smooth in prep for concealer and foundation, but it doesn't do anything to hide my flaws. I'm sure there are better drug-store BB creams out there.
I have used a couple of different types of BB cream and although this is the cheapest so far,I find that it definitely doesn't give me the coverage that the others did. It does make an okay primer though however I do find depending on the foundation I am wearing, it can make my skin extra greasy. Probably won't buy again but will finish off my tube.
Tips: This is one of the greasier BB creams around - so make sure it dries a little if you are adding foundation over top.
It's not my first choice of BB Cream, I have tried a couple of others and liked them more than this one, if only because the smell is off-putting and you have to be very careful with the amount you use. If you use too much it makes your skin look very pale and if you use too little it doesn't cover anything.
To combat this problem I found dabbing a little on my face and rubbing it in as I go helps to get the coverage needed, that way if its too little you can always add a bit more.
The annoying part I found was that sometimes when squeezing the tube it would just ooze out and not seem to want to stop..
Tips: Apply slowly and rub in as you go that way you'll get a more even coverage and hopefully wont look like a vampire.
For me I like this bb cream but I like to have a minimal makeup look as I have reasonably clear skin and love to see my freckles through the foundation I also have dry skin and find this to be super moisturising, I would suggest to people to try setting it with a powder and using concealer for any larger imperfections they may want to cover as the overage is very very sheer. Overall I think it evens out the skin tone and gives a nice glow to the skin although it can become a bit oily or greasy looking. I would use this again but for people who like a matte finish and a lot of coverage it is probably not the bb cream for you.
