Riding on the back of the trend

I was disappointed because the coverage was pretty much non-existant. Also it's imppossible to pick the right shade if there is no tester becuase the guide on the packaging is way, way off.

If you like the nude look then maybe this is for you but don't expect it to cover anything or even out skin tone. It was a good moisturiser I guess but that's about it.

Tips: Because the first colour I picked was wrong (too dark), I sometimes put it on underneath my powder if I have tan on the rest of my body.

Very Pink Undertones

Now don't get me wrong, I love Maybelline and I am a religious user of many of their products but the Dream Fresh BB Cream did not tick all the boxes for me and I wouldn't repurchase. I am more of a full coverage kinda gal, and this just does not give very good coverage at all, also it the undertones are very pink and I am a golden/green undertone so this just didn't hit the spot for me. I used it as a base for my foundation (I am a student so cannot afford to be wasteful) but wouldn't use it as a base that could be set with powder because it's far too sheer.

Tips: Ok under foundation if you are pink toned, otherwise the Garnier BB Cream for Oily Skin (annnnyone can use this, the formula is so matte and delicious) works a treat as an alternative BB cream for roughly the same price!

Works well covers light blemishes. more of a tinted moisture that evens out skin tone. i love it......

Tips: wear concealer for dark blemishes or layer bb creams

Great

This is a great BB cream. The texture is creamy and is easy to smooth over the face with your fingers. It instantly brightens and evens out my skin tone, covering redness and minor pimples well. For other imperfections, such as big pimples, concealer is needed to fully cover them. The coverage is natural and light, and surprisingly lasts the whole day without fading. I am very fair with a cool undertone so I used the 'fair' colour. It is ever-so slightly too dark for me... but it warms up my skin and looks very natural, so it's not a problem.

Tips: It naturally has a slight dewy finish, so for a more matte finish put on a finishing powder. Great as a base and primer for a full coverage foundation look.

I have the oil free variety

The one in the blue tube with salicylic acid for acne prone skin. Would have never bought for me as my skintype is definitely not acne prone - however was given this by my mum who bought it and it was too light for her. The shade light is the perfect shade for me, extra pale and yellow toned. Great coverage and blendability - just a tad to drying for me though, ok now in the heat of summer but I have to apply a rich creamy lotion underneath otherwise this gathers in my pores and dry bits. Nice BB cream all-round though and a good price too.

Not that impressed

This was my first ever voyage into the world of BB creams it left my skin with a soft veil of glitter that kind of made my face look sweaty, I guess it was trying to achieve the dewy sheer look, I'm more of a matte finish girl. the addition of translucent powder helped but melted away during the day.

The packaging is cute in an easy to use tube which means you should get every last drop out of it, and cost wise its very reasonable, however as I stated I prefer a matte finish so I wouldn't purchase again due to that, but would recommend to others

Way too runny

The biggest problem I had with this is that it was too runny, and it went on the skin quite sheer. I didn't notice much difference at all to my complexion after I applied it. It definitely does not do what it claims to do. Doesn't really even out the skin tone or provide much coverage. The watery consistency put me off using it again. Also, the shade range is very very limited. Disappointing!

Tips: I guess the coverage is buildable but that would mean using a lot more product to get the desired effect. If you want more coverage, you must top off with a powder to give you that extra boost.

Practical and simple

I used this on a daily basis for most of summer - I love that it provided a little bit of coverage on days I didn't want to wear make-up. It was easy to just chuck on as I was running out the door - no fuss, light, fresh and not much could go wrong (like foundation lines etc). I have since moved on to creams like this, just ones that provide a bit more coverage and SPF 30. But it is a good product to start with.

Good for summer

I find this a good natural day product. On days when I dont really want anything on my face, but feel I need a bit of colour. I like the texture of this its a slightly thin consistency, im not a big fan of super thick creams so this is perfect for me. Blends in nicely and is an overall good productfor my skin.

Tips: Mix half and half with foundation for a bit more coverage

Not for me

I was very excited about trying out this bb cream as all of the others i had tried were always too dark for my pale skin. While the palest colour was a little orangey, it was a close match to my skin.

I love the idea of having a bb cream when i cant be bothered with the routine of foundation and just being able to pop it one to even out my skin tone. Unfortunately this doesn't even do that. It is extremely thin and runny (and being in a squeezy tube does not work, it just drips and run's out of the opening, no squeezing needed). It gives no coverage at all, almost felt like i was putting water on my face. No shaking made any difference. It also left me with what looks like a shimmery glitter on my skin, i noticed this on my hand when i first swatched it.

I tried letting the first coat dry and then apply another to try and build the coverage but the two layers seemed to separate from each other and leave what i can only describe as pools of liquid on my skin.
