Oasis Beauty Full Cover Mineral Foundation Review

I'll admit I don’t keep many BB creams. I have a hard time finding a good BB cream that suits my skin tone, doesn't make me look too pink, white or orange and that is natural. The first time I tried Oasis BB creams when they first came out I was put off because it was too pink and light. Then they reformulated them a bit. And then I was really happy that the light-medium one, the Monroe, is a decent match. Now it doesn't exactly match my skin tone like my foundation but it blends in and doesn't make me look too white or pink and I'm not orange when I wear it. I really like the formula, like all Oasis products they don't contain unnecessary ingredients that just make up the bulk of the product and then just have some hyped up natural ingredients at the bottom of the list. Despite having zinc and titanium oxide for natural spf, the formula isn't greasy and I find it doesn't slip off my face and gives my skin a nice matte finish. The great for your skin ingredients are apricot, rosehip, jojoba and candelua oil, hylauronic acid, promegranate and grape skin extract and vitamins B5, C and E. The coverage I get from this BB cream is very good and I can use my fingers and it blends in very well. I do use a foundation blush when I want to get more coverage but I do like that I can still get a nice smooth finish using my fingers to blend. Which makes it really handy to take with me on weekend away or my brushes are dirty or perhaps I just don't want to have to wash another makeup brush just yet. I don't see any improvements to my skin using this yet, but I do wear Oasis Apple a Day every day so I don't think I'm going to see an improvement in my skin since I already use their good quality spf moisturizer. This is my current favourite BB cream and I would highly recommend testing it to see if it suits your skin tone.

Recently I tried out the Medium (formally the Munroe) Bb cream.

It was easy to apply & I found I got the best coverage when I dabbed on with my fingers and the blended with a beauty blender, although I image a good foundation brush would also be effective. Coverage was good and the tone was easy to match my skin. I have oily/combination skin, and normally use a mineral foundation, this gave more coverage, however I also felt quite oily half way through the day. (I always use primer too). It was improved with a finishing powder, but not eradicated. I would use this when heading out at night.

This product works well to improve your skin, but is not an overly effective concealer. Oasis BB Cream has a lovely smooth consistency and is easy to apply to your skin. It requires only a small amount to be appplied, and thus should last you a long time. It has worked well at improving my skin, although I experienced a minor break out as my skin adjusted to the product. My only criticism is that because it is so light and smooth, it does not work as an overly effective product for my sensitive skin so would rather not buy again

I received a sample of this with the Oasis Moisturiser. Unfortunately I won't be purchasing the full size product. I just don't think the product was a good fit for my skin type and my face looked very dry and flaky at the end of the day with this BB cream. I found I looked worse than if I had nothing on. This is not something you want in a beauty product.... I'm not sure if it was the product itself or my skin, so I would test it before you purchase.

I tried this BB cream recently after is came in the box as a sample with another Oasis product.

It comes in a wee white tube with cute pink writing, and an easy screw top.

The product is a moderately thick cream. My colour was medium and the product is for sensitive skin. I don't have sensitive skin, but it didn't irritate anything in any case. And I have quite fair skin so usually go for beige products, so surprisingly this product in a medium wasn't too dark for me. It also has an SPF which I really like.

I've been applying it after my CC cream and it gives a nice, even coverage. I'd decided to give up on BB creams and stick with tinted moisturiser after a bad experience with another brand, but this BB cream has changed my mind. I find it applies evenly with a beauty blender and lasts all day. I'm really impressed with it.

$50 for 50ml seems a bit pricey, but then again it is a very good product, so in my estimation it is worth it. I do recommend it.

I purchased this bb cream after it was been raved about by several members on here. Although I like this bb cream, I found that it didn't meet my expectations of the hype of this product. The coverage of this bb cream is a light coverage, which is what you would expect of a bb cream. However, a lot of people mentioned that this bb cream gave medium to high coverage, so I expected it to give my face more coverage than it did. It evened out my skin tone more, but you could still see my acne scars and blemishes and redness on my cheeks.

I have this in the shade Bardot which is the lightest shade. It's a little too light for my light-medium skin tone but I can get away with it. This shade also has more of a pink undertone when my skin has a yellow undertone.

The texture of this bb cream is very thick. I use a brush to apply this bb cream as its a bit hard to apply evenly when using fingers. The thick consistency makes it hard to blend. It has a matte finish but doesn't completely dry on your skin, so I always set my with powder.

This bb cream comes in a sturdy plastic tube in a cylinder shape. It has a pump which makes it easy to dispense the cream.

This bb cream is quite pricey. I do like the fact that it's NZ made, but for the price I can get something better, so unfortunately I will not be repurchasing this.

Found that this BB cream was spot on for their claims of offering a mid range coverage that was slighty matte when dried.

Monroe Suited my skin tone perfectly and managed to cover most of my uneven patches and imperfection pretty well for a natural day time look.

Wasn't heavy or sink into my pores causing any outbreaks. Removed simply with a cleanser and warm cloth at the end of the day, and lasted without becoming excessively oily from my combination skin.

Have repurchased many times and love having it as a staple in my kit, on those days when my skin is being a total pain then it works well as a primer type of product under heavier makeup for keeping my skin healthy whilst getting a fuller coverage.

After trying a generous sample from Oasis, I bought a full size tube of this. It is slightly more affordable than my favorite Mac BB which I refuse to pay NZ retail for! I bought it directly from Oasis. It was quickly shipped in cute packaging that included samples and chocolates - there's nothing more that I could want!

I got the repacked medium BB (formally Bardot) and would have preferred a pump. The tube often spurts out too much but at least you can get all the product out when it is nearing the end.

Medium is the perfect shade for my skin and blends in straight away. The cream is quite thick and it does have a strange, not quite gritty texture when it is first applied. This disappears as as it is applied to the skin - maybe it is the shea butter melting into it? I like to apply BB with just my fingers and this one is easy to do so. The cream feels a little greasy and leaves the skin very shiny when first applied. It quickly dries down to a matt finish. It is still a very natural 'my skin but better' finish. I usually apply a quick dusting of powder over it to set it.

I usually wear this over Oasis Apple A Day moisturiser, although the BB itself is moisturising enough on its own for most skins. I find by mid afternoon my skin can feel quite greasy wearing this, however it does not make it look greasy. It is easy to remove with a cleansing balm and a damp cloth.

I will definitely use this BB again as the tube lasted me for months and it's such a great match for my skin tone. I also like being able to support a small NZ business with such great ethics.

I purchased my BB Cream when they were having a special and changing the label so i got it for about $39 instead of the full price. Which i think is a little too high. It comes in a easy to use pump tube and is a good sized product - 50ml I have the Bardot which is the light, mid coverage. I actually really like it, it has a nice creamy consistency and goes on your skin well, i do layer a bit more on when I'm using it before a day at work but if its a day off i just put a little on and its great. It last all day and pretty much sinks into your skin straight away. I use my fingers to apply it and it washes off them easy as. If its a work day i usually apply foundation over top of the bb cream and away i go but i did try a couple of days with just a mineral powder over top of the bb cream and it works just as well. If not a bit better as it feels nice and light on your skin. I love the fact its produced in NZ and is cruelty free and Oasis is a small company - if they keep producing great products like this they won't be small for long!

This bb cream has great coverage. I find it quite Matt and lasts all day. It dosnt go shiny like a lot of other bb creams do. It's great that it's an all natural product and you can get samples before you purchase a full size item.
