I had been using the Maybelline BB cream and it was great, minimum coverage but i wanted something with a little bit more coverage. After reading online reviews i was sold after reading AshM's review about the Max factor CC cream .
I purchsed it for about $15 NZD while i was overseas, it comes in a black plastic tube and a screw on bottle, very easy to remove but also secure for it not to unscrew itself.
The cream is very light, creamy texture, a slight scent and once you rub it onto your face it camoflauges and blends in perfectly. I chose the medium colour and it matches spot on! I use about a $2 size coin for all my face and it blends so easily. Once its on your skin it moisturises and makes your skin look hydrated and clean. After it sits for a few minutes it looks like your second skin, i dont need to apply any loose powder and it stays put for most of the day. On long days i apply a setting spray to hold it there.
I get so many compliments since using the Max factor CC cream on how amazingly flawless my skin looks and they are shocked when i tell them im wearing CC cream, its great to know people think my skin is like this when im using a bit of help. I have pushed my Maybelline BB cream to the back of my drawer as i have found my number cream and foundation in 1! If im going out to somewhere special i conceal all my problem areas for a better coverage and then apply my CC cream to my face, i like this 100x more than foundation, its lightweight, easy to apply and looks alot more natural.
5 out of 5 for me, worth every penny and i recommend this to every girl, a must have product, for beginners or for makeup artists, i cant stress enough how amazing this product is.
I decided to try this product after reading the reviews here, and seeing it on sale for $20 at Farmers. I'm really glad I decided to give it a go, as it's become my new everyday foundation. The fair colour is perfect for my winter skin tone, and the texture of this product is seriously amazing. The cream glides on easily and feels really moisturising on my currently dry skin.
I've also been happy with the coverage (which I'd say is light, but buildable), and staying power (can easily do a full day plus after work drinks if I set it with powder).
Tips: If you're on the oilier/combo side you might need to see this with powder. I've found this to be a real dream on my combo skin that's currently suffering from cold-weather dry patches.
