Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

Probably wouldn't call it a "dream" product. This product is a BB cream with the benefit of salicylic acid. It comes in attractive packaging and is a nice size container that it lasts a decent while whilst still being convenient to carry in a handbag or cosmetic bag. It works well under foundation and the colour suited me fine.

However, I found that this BB cream really dried out my skin. I didn't cover anything on its own, but under foundation it was almost like a tinted moisturiser (but this is the same I have found with all BB creams).

Overall, probably wouldn't buy it again simply because I found it dried out my skin more than other BB creams I have tried.

I've been using this BB cream for a long while now and i enjoy using it. It's light and doesn't make your face feel cakey. I haven't really noticed that it helps with black heads or pimples, but it does help cover them up. Coverage is great - you only need a few drops to cover your whole face. It makes your face look natural and flawless, plus the added SPF is a great added bonus!

the color range.... usually i opt for a medium shade since i am a bit olive tone... however the shade was too light. however it did moisturize my face, keeping it oil free and smelled amazing.

I use this BB cream almost everyday. It definitely mattifies, even when my skin becomes oily later in the day. I wouldn't say that it targets blackheads very well and although it is SPF15 I have still had to apply extra UV protection if i'm out in the sun. I've found that it does not have great coverage in terms of concealing redness (I need to put on a few layers for that to happen) but, it is moisturising and help control breakouts to some degree. I think it is very well priced for what it is and I continue to use it because It's often on sale at Farmers (buy one get one free/ half price) and it has such a great matt finish.

I picked this up at a sale for $12 in the shade "light". I mainly got it because of the cheap price tag, the fact that it contains SPF, and because I have been trying out lots of different BB creams lately to try and find the perfect one for me.

The product is unlike any other BB cream I have used because it has a very runny consistency. I apply it with my fingers and it does go on easily and blends really well. I do have to use quite a bit to get the desired (ish) effect. It feels very light and makes my skin look dewy and fresh.

However, it does not cover up blemishes and redness well enough for me which is disappointing. I find that I need to use some mineral foundation powder over the top.

Great price, easy to find and with spf, this product has huge potential. a few issues i found were that the light was still to dark and while the cover was great on most of my skin, parts of my T zone would start looking patchy and separated. Overall a light and comfortable product for every day use.

I was excited when this product came out as I liked BB cream but have an oil-prone complexion and can't wear many liquid foundations. It says that it is a matte formula, but I don't find that it works that way for me. I use it under a powder as it gives coverage and doesn't clog up my pores at all. This is quite a runny formula, and applies better with my fingers than with a sponge. It blends well and feels light.

I used to use this product like everyday before i started wearing foundation. I liked the way it evened out my complexion but looked so natural. The SPF was low at 15 but was good for daily use when not in the sun all day (im fair skinned and burn easily). It is hydrating and easy to use. I would always set this with powder as a have oilier skin.

This product is pretty good and does what it claims, however I have quite dry skin so I found that this product didn’t suite me very much. I like to have a really dewy complexion and the mattifying effect didn’t do it for me. As for the rest: 8 skin benefits - SPF 15 - Really good to have a product that offers some sun protection. This doesn’t weigh the product down at all either. - Helps conceal redness - It did conceal the redness around my nose and chin area, so whoop! - Oil free - Yeah, not very oily. Great consistency that spreads evenly over skin. - Hydrates - I didn’t find this to be true. - Mattifies - It does settle as a matte base. - Targets blackheads - I don’t have blackheads so cant speak for that. - Smoothes - It does make your skin look more smooth, great blurring effect. - Evens skin tone - Apart from my under eye circles, my skin tone was lovely and even, all redness and dullness covered up.

I used this BB cream for approx a year before moving to the Rimmel CC 9 in 1 cream. I found the BB cream made my skin look too shiny by the end of the day and this was even with using a translucent powder on top. My skin might have been too oily for this product.
