Oasis Beauty Full Cover Mineral Foundation Review

After reading so many rave reviews about this product I had high expectations, especially with being a higher-priced BB cream and being full of so many natural goodies. We all have different skin types and unfortunately Oasis' BB Cream wasn't for me.

I have oily, acne-prone skin that is more yellow-toned. I got a sample of the BB cream in The Bardot, which is for 'light-medium warm skin tones, mid coverage, dewy finish'. The formula itself felt quite thick in the sample pot, which I thought may lead it to having quite good coverage. I applied it with my fingers and found it really hard to blend this into my skin, it took quite awhile and when I was done I wasn't impressed with the result. The finish was definately dewy, but it provided hardly any coverage whatsoever, more like a tinted moisturiser. Regarding it's staying power, even when set with powder I found it didn't really last that long on my skin, looking like it was wearing off in sections. I also disliked how it felt upon my skin, very heavy like it was clogging my pores.

Unfortunately the colour was also completely wrong for my skin tone too, I could have been better off with The Hepburn maybe but The Bardot was far too light and pink-toned for my yellow-toned complexion.

This product seems to work for many people, it just wasn't right for me and I wouldn't repurchase. I would recommend this more for people with more cool/pink-toned colouring and dry/normal skin.

Packaging and price: To start with I like the packaging, I think it is cute simple and easy to get product out. It is definitely not the cheapest product out there though so get a free sample first off their website to ensure it is right for you.

The product: I got the BB cream in The Bardot, which is for 'light-medium warm skin tones, mid coverage, dewy finish'. I am actually cool-toned but none of their bb creams are cool toned which I found disappointing so I got this one.

I found that this product had almost zero coverage so I was very disappointed. It has quite a thick consistency so you really have to work the product into your skin. I also found that it didn't smell very nice at all so was not enjoyable to apply to my face.

The only thing I guess this product did that it said it would was to make my face semi-dewy.

Overall was very disappointed in this product and I would not buy it again.

I wanted to like the Oasis BB creams but I really just dont. I've tried both the Monroe and the Bardot and neither were great but the Monroe was by far better. It has a matte finish and more coverage than the Bardot, which I found made my skin look shiny but didnt provide nearly enough coverage. They both feel awfully heavy and oily on my skin and make it feel quite uncomfortable from the moment I apply it. I have a trial of the Hepburn to try out as well but I think it will be too dark - I might use it as a leg bronzer instead.

Tried samples from website, the Monroe has good coverage for a BB cream, matte finish, no good for mature skin, tends to sink into any lines & wrinkles after a while, the other one I tried was the Bardot, lighter coverage & dewey finish, good for young & mature skin types, but if you want more coverage, use a concealer as well. Bit pricey but would last for ages as you only need to use a small amount.

I have recently received a sample pot of this and put it to the test! The sample will last you about three-five days, so you can have a good verdict after using it.

The packaging is a durable little pot which you can use for something else in the future! Or, you can squeeze more of your BB Cream into it when you go away for a day or two so you won't have to carry around a big bottle.

The smell is lovely, it doesn't smell like foundation, more like a subtle moisturizer which gets a 10/10 in my books!

It gives quite a full coverage and lasts a typical work day or night out, but if you want it to last for both, you'll probably have a problem. But, again, that's where the sample pot is so handy!

It glides on a bit like a paste, I'd say they should dilute the formula a bit for smoother application, as you use quite a bit more than with other BB Creams.

I'd definitely recommend at least a sample of this product (and it's free!), and I know I'll be saving up to buy a full sized product. It's a bit expensive at $49.95, but it's cruelty-free and you're supporting local business.

I'm not an experienced BB cream user, but I know I won't be becoming one anytime soon. I tried a sample of this in the 'Monroe' and the colour and consistency looked nice and silky, and a bit like lightly whipped cream. The colour blended into my skin, but didn't seem to cover anything. No, unfortunately it just made my face look FURRY. :/ I'm happy each ingredient is chosen carefully for specific reasons to benefit your skin, because I hate unnatural products and my skin is fussy too. But, there's no way I'd want to buy this because my skin, blotchy and dry as it is, looked better without it. The price of a bottle of this is also not very cheap. My skin is very dry and sensitive, and has eczema, so I think this BB cream just stuck to the dry patches and made it look worse. I think if you had oilier skin this could work pretty good for you. But, if you have dry skin like me, you might end up with a 'furry' face, as my sister said it looked like.

I've tried a lot of BB creams, and this is definitely in my top 5. Usually I find BB creams (particularly korean ones) can be quite grey, and make me looked washed out, supermarket BB creams, make me break out, I've used more high end CC creams and didn't like these either as nothing seemed to suit me oily skin, but the Monroe was perfect. I loved the matte coverage it gave, and a little certainly goes a long way. I like using my beauty blender to apply this BB cream, as I find it gives a more flawless finish, or a flattop XO brush. Highly recommend, and although it's expensive, it has far more coverage than the average BB cream, so would be perfect as your everyday foundation as well.

I recently purchased The Bardot BB Cream by Oasis Beauty. I received samples of their skincare range and I was very impressed so I thought I would give their BB Cream a go. So I brought the full size BB Cream (RRP $49.50) For a 50ml product. Now your probably thinking, Thats expensive and Is it really worth the price? Lets find out.

Before application I used Oasis Beauty Apple a Day Moisturizer. After letting that sink into my skin I then apply the BB Cream. I use 1 pump of BB Cream and I apply it with my fingers. I hear people say that “BB Cream is just tinted moisturizer” and others say “BB cream is a miracle product”. I have tried many drug store and Korean branded BB Creams and nothing compares to this one. The texture of the BB Cream is like no other that I have tried. It feels a bit gluggy & creamy at the same time (If that makes any sense lol". It is very smooth and creamy to apply, also a little goes a long way. Just like every other Oasis Beauty products it has a very nice smell to it too which makes it more appealing. It covers my imperfections perfectly, evens out my skin tone, gives off a lightening and brightening effect and leaves me with a dewy finish.

I have been using this instead of foundation everyday for the last 2 weeks and im loving it! You can embrace the dewy finish or you can mattify it by applying some powder over the top. It lasts all day and doesn't wear off, I have had no skin reactions to it either which is a big bonus for me. I would defiantly recommend requesting a sample of the BB cream to see how it can benefit your skin. Overall this BB Cream is now a must in my daily routine, Its hydrating and I use it as foundation. 5/5 for this product. I really like the Oasis Beauty range as it made in New Zealand and it is made from organic ingredients. Totally worth the splurge!

I LOVE this product, you can almost slap it on your face and it blends itself in, it has spf so often this is all I wear when out in the sun, It is a good colour, I know they had a few issues in the beginning getting the colour right

I have tried so many different brands of make up but never really stuck to one. However, after sampling Oasis BB cream in Monroe I was amazed. I immediately tracked down a store that sold the full size and I have used it everyday since! I have even put on my other foundations, including my luxury branded stuff, then taken it off and put on my Oasis BB cream! The first thing I noticed was the smell. I really liked it. It make me think of clay or a mud mask it made me feel that this product was all natural. I can't stand unnecessary artificial fragrance. The texture was creamier than other bb creams and it stuck to my skin, sort of sinking in as I applied it. I learnt to dab it in small sections rather than spread it across a wider area. I love the colour match too. Monroe is fair but has good coverage which I found blended well over some discolouration I have. The packaging is handy and practical in a pump dispenser. I can see how much product is left...so I can easily tell it's time to order more!
