This BB cream is light weight and glides on nicely. I really only use it as a base to make my skin nice and smooth in prep for concealer and foundation, but it doesn't do anything to hide my flaws. I'm sure there are better drug-store BB creams out there.

Reviews
I have used a couple of different types of BB cream and although this is the cheapest so far,I find that it definitely doesn't give me the coverage that the others did. It does make an okay primer though however I do find depending on the foundation I am wearing, it can make my skin extra greasy. Probably won't buy again but will finish off my tube.
Tips: This is one of the greasier BB creams around - so make sure it dries a little if you are adding foundation over top.
It's not my first choice of BB Cream, I have tried a couple of others and liked them more than this one, if only because the smell is off-putting and you have to be very careful with the amount you use. If you use too much it makes your skin look very pale and if you use too little it doesn't cover anything.
To combat this problem I found dabbing a little on my face and rubbing it in as I go helps to get the coverage needed, that way if its too little you can always add a bit more.
The annoying part I found was that sometimes when squeezing the tube it would just ooze out and not seem to want to stop..
Tips: Apply slowly and rub in as you go that way you'll get a more even coverage and hopefully wont look like a vampire.
This product wasn't really for me as I prefer a fuller coverage product. This product would be great for girls just starting out with makeup or if you just want a lightweight cover. I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin as this left my skin rather shiny (I don't have overly oily skin) but you can set with a light powder to combat this.
I think I might be a bit picky with bb creams, but this one didn't blow me away. I won't repurchase but I do think it is a good cheap option for a BB, I just prefer others (which are about 20 more expensive too.) The formula is quite thin and takes a bit of blending in, and the colour was ever so slightly off for me. It did have a nice finish and my skin felt nice, foundation going easy over the top but the coverage wasn't super impressive. It was less matte than my others as well.
Very watery and very light. I find I get extremly greasy when I wear this product and I find an hour after applying its all gone and nothing left. Nothing special but is very cheap
Tips: Use as a base under foundation
this is the first BB cream I have used the colours available are limited they need a larger range of colours as my face is the medium in summer but not medium in winter but isn't the light which is quiet fair very fair actually makes me look whiter than I am
Tips: ok product
I thought this product was really oily, and just not a nice shade at all. It made my skin quite orange, and just had a bad feel to it...
My sister and I both got this product to try out as a BB cream-we both have dif skin types and for my skin (being very oily) this product unfortunately just made my skin even more oily throughout the day. For her however (normal-dry) this product was more suitable. I guess you could say the product is reflective of its price not bad but not great great either. There are definately better BB creams out.
I have tried quite afew BB creams before using this one, and for the first couple of uses I wasn't impressed. It have very low coverage, and the product is quite thin compared to what I would normally use. I stopped using it for a while, then started reusing it, and I did like it abit better, but its not for me. I prefer others over this.
Tips: Mix with foundation or another BB cream for better coverage, or use a powder on top.
