Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

This isn't as good as the Maybelline Clear Smooth BB cream you can buy in Asia- this is more like a good basic tinted moisturiser. It makes my skin look pretty even and blends well with my fingers.

While I'm not sure about the effectiveness of just 2% salicylic acid in a beauty product, this is a great lightweight BB cream and doesn't actively make me break out. It definitely lives up to its claim of complimenting skin tone - I was given mine by a friend in the shade 'light', when usually I'd buy a darker shade - yet it never made me look washed out and doesn't feel caked on. I still need powder on top (especially in the heat), but it's a great base product for days when I want to go almost makeup free, or I use it as a base before applying heavier foundation for nights out. There's definitely a decent amount of the product for the price, although I'd repurchase again only if it was on special - it doesn't really have any features that make it a 'stand out' from other BB creams. While it does have the addition of the salicylic acid, I have tried the original Maybelline BB cream, and actually prefer the formula even though I have acne prone skin.

I have repurchased this many times over and over again! I don't usually like to put lots of makeup on for a daily basis to uni so I like products like this to keep it super natural! I find the shade matches me perfectly because it has quite a few shades with good yellow undertones

I got the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream as a sample two years ago and I've tried about 3 or 4 other brands and types of BB Creams but the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream has been my number 1 for 2 years and running. I use the product as my foundation, as has a good coverage. The product is build-able depending on if you were going for a night out or an event you can build up the BB Cream to a full-coverage, without it looking too cakey. The BB Cream doesn't dry out your skin and it doesn't heavily pick up dry patches. It is very easy to blend and it does the job.

What I have noticed over the year is that the BB Cream shade sets a bit differently to the shade when it is applied. So to overcome this I have come to terms that I'll do my eye makeup while I wait for the BB Cream to set, then I'll do my bronzer and contouring.

My bf actually bought me my first ever one of these for Christmas and it looks nice, really convenient can pull out and apply anywhere so is really good for just a on the go.

I loved this stuff. I have rosacea and this covered it up better then I expected. I would use on its own or mix it with a full coverage foundation if I was going for a "simple" look. Does what it says except it didnt mattify for me. It did get me a little oily around the nose but nothing tragic. Will be definitely repuchase sometime soon.

I love this product, I use it almost everyday! It is great for evening out my skin tone and helps moisturize my little dry face! I don't find it too oily either. I usually put a powder on top because while it's not oily it can make my face a little bit shiny. It is also very affordable to buy regularly.

I got this BB cream in the 'light' shade as part of a goody bag. I was excited to try it out as it has 2% salicylic acid and my skin is prone to break outs. I also like that it has SPF in it . This goes on smoothly and covers just as well as my Revlon Colorstay Foundation, but feels lighter and is a lot quicker to use for days when I want to wear minimal makeup or am in a rush. I haven't noticed it actively helping with my breakouts but my skin hasn't gotten any worse wearing it. As I'm quite pale the light shade is a teeny bit darker than my normal foundation but I feel I can get away with this during the summer months. I would repurchase this as its a good coverage, affordable BB cream, which mostly delivers, I just wish it came in a few more shades!!
