I've never tried a BB cream before, so I don't have any experience with what they're like or what they're supposed to do, but the description of this BB cream specifically says that it helps control oil on your face.
The consistency of the BB cream is runnier than I was expecting, and the scent is quite strong (but a nice scent at least). It's a tube so you have to squeeze it out, like toothpaste or something, which I guess is convenient since you can choose to use a small or large amount - unlike pumps, which give you a set amount whether you like it or not.
The first day I used the BB cream I applied it with a buffing brush and chose not to use any powder. It was really easy to apply this way (I did try applying it with my fingers the night before, just to see what the coverage was like before I wore it to work the next day, and I think applying it with a brush definitely gave it better coverage). The coverage was okay, probably the same as a medium-high coverage foundation, I used some concealer on some spots that weren't fully covered then was good to go. By lunch time I noticed that my forehead looked super shiney, and that the makeup had gathered/moved in between my eyebrows. I wasn't very happy with this result, so the next day I decided to wear some powder to see if that would help, however, I still got the same result - still looked oily by the middle of the day and the makeup still bunched up between my eyebrows and around my nose (the powder I used was MAC MSF natural).
Overall, I was not very impressed by this BB cream and would not recommend it to anyone I know who has oily skin - this brand of BB creams may be AMAZING for people who have dry or normal skin, but definitely not oily. The product did not do what it was designed to do, and the only reason I would use it again is because I now have it and don't like wasting products.
I loved this BB cream and I'll never use anything else again! beautiful coverage which you can layer up for a more "made up" look or lovely light coverage for a super natural look.
Glides on easily, is easy to blend and isn't patchy. This BB cream really evens out skin tone and works well under a little bronzer or blusher.
I like that it has the added SPF15 too. All in all, I will continue to use this BB cream as my everyday cream, as well as when I want to get all made up!
Tips: pop the lid back on the tube as soon as you have squeezed onto your hand, as it has a tendency to drip/leak out the top if you leave it lying on the vanity :)
