Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Cream

I didn't like this product very much, it was very sheer and for a 'Light' product it wasn't very light! I don't really consider this to be a BB Cream, it's more like a tinted moisturizer. If you are looking for something that's fast to slap on in a rush in the morning and you don't mind how much you spend this could be a great option for you! But personally since it has very little coverage and is not the right colour for me, I will be giving it a miss! Check out my review for swatches; http://littleporcelainprincess.blogspot.co.nz/2013/08/review-maybellines-dream-fresh-bb-cream.html

This was the first BB cream I ever purchased, and Im not sure why, but Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream was the one I was drawn to, and I purchased one in Farmers.

The BB Cream comes in a soft plastic tube, with a gradient brown to white colour, and with the Maybelline BB cream logo in a pink, which adds some colour. Personally, I didn’t like the packaging. It is pretty standard, and not that appealing being brown in colour.

This BB cream is very thin, and that must be the water base approach this product has. There are both pros and cons to the consistency of this product. The pro being its very light weight, and sets on the skin very quickly. The cons however, seem to outweigh the pros. The cons are this formula is so thin, it almost drips out of the tube, and the water based formula gives such a light coverage, that it really makes this product unsuitable for any day your skin is not perfect to start off with! Additionally, after purchasing this product, and using it on and off for a while, the formula of the product changed, and the product slightly separated, even after a good shake. Im not sure why this is, but its not very appealing to use.

When I first started using this cream, I had quite smooth skin with little to no blemishes.. So this cream was good just for evening it out skin tone. But the coverage was really light, and quite minimalistic. Also for the warmer months, this BB cream just washes my skin out because it’s not dark enough for my skin tone once it darkens in summer. I can notice that it has a soothing effect on my skin, and I can feel this when I first apply the BB cream. I find this feeling lingers for a bit, but no longer then 2-3minutes. I wouldn’t say this product enhances or brightens either. For the days my skin is not perfect (pretty much every day recently), this BB cream does not provide decent enough coverage.

I honestly won’t be repurchasing this BB cream, and won’t be recommending this to friends or family, or any of you lovely BR members, simply for the fact that this product is so light-weight, that it’s hardly worth wearing this product at all.

I found this gave very very little coverage and instead just made my skin look very oily which I did not like. Would not use this product again but would recommend for someone with very flawless skin only.

I bought this in shade light as I am usually light/ivory in foundations. It was completely the wrong colour, it was far too pink for my complexion. Reading the other reviews I can see this was a problem for others too. Also, it felt much less like a beauty balm and more like a low quality tinted moisturiser. It also broke me out.

This product worked well at applying evenly and added a tint to my skin, but it did not cover or reduce the appearance of imperfections at all - I would say they looked worse than without the BB cream.

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!

I was really hoping this bb cream would be my holy grail product, based on the good reviews. I'm really glad I got a sample to try before buying, it as it's really not for me. The bb cream didn't give me enough coverage and didn't look good on my skin - maybe it doesn't suit my skin type? Even wearing primer beforehand the bb cream seemed to accentuate the dry areas and it looked obvious I was wearing makeup on my face. Definitely not for me.

Definitely not the best I have tried much prefer garniers bb cream. Gives ok coverage for a bb cream and I found it evened out my skin tone slightly but i won't be repurchasing as have tried better. I also reacted to this cream and ended up with an itchy rash on my face so definitely wont be using again.

I was lucky enough to pick this up for a few dollars while holidaying overseas. I wanted to try this after hearing so many great reviews but was somewhat disappointed. This turned out to be the same texture as a tinted moisturiser. After applying, it didn't hide anything. I tried wearing this on the weekend when I wanted a light coverage. After an hour, it seemed like it was developing and turned darker! I tried as a base under my foundation and by the end of the day, my face just looked horrible. I ended up giving this away.

I wouldn't use this again. I didn't like the extremely runny consistency which made it hard to apply and gave thin coverage, even for a BB cream. The tube repeatedly squeezed out too much at once because it's so runny but I needed to use a lot anyway to get the coverage I wanted. To top it off, I had a severe allergic reaction to it which made my face red and itchy. In the end, I disliked the consistency of it so much that I flagged trying the sensitive option and switched to another brand altogether, with amazing results! Sorry Maybelline, not a fan of this one :(
