Oasis Beauty Full Cover Mineral Foundation Review

A friend recommended Oasis to me, so I ordered a sample size of the Monroe BB Cream. Before my sample even ran out I decided that I loved it and needed to order a full size! It's perfect if you don't feel like wearing much makeup - but still want a bit of coverage.

These bb creams are amazing. I purchased the Oasis goodie bag which contains samples of all their products. Out of their 3 bb creams I liked the Bardot and the Monroe. I will be purchasing the Monroe as I feel it offers better all day coverage. This product offers spf25, colour and moisture. I have tried a variety of bb creams and would rate this brand the best. What they state on their website is exactly what the product does. Plus an added bonus its made in nz, natural and not tested on animals.

I have rather a miss and rarely hit relationship with BB Creams. Having such a light complexion means that most BB creams are just too dark and do not work on my skin. I have one BB cream in my stash which I occasionally use, but it is more like a full coverage foundation, so it's just not for everyday use.

I had heard good things about Oasis BB creams and their other products, so I purchased the $50 sample bag that contains a sample of all the Oasis products. This way I got to try all three BB creams and was able to establish that The Bardot suited my skin tone best. It sates that it is for light warm skin tones and gives a mid coverage dewy finish and I would definitely agree that it does exactly that.

I used the sample pot first and then purchased the full sized product after one application use of the sample pot. I was sold! Now that is pretty impulsive, even for me, but I really liked the product and could see that it just really suited my skin tone, gave a nice coverage (not too full on, not too sheer) and it lasted all day.

The Bardot BB cream comes in typical Oasis packaging with an inky abstract colour down one side of a white box with an information panel on the rear if the box. I love that the Oasis products are cruelty free, contains organic ingredients and is a New Zealand product. The generous 50 mL sized pump bottle is a great design and easy to use. The fact that it stands upright and isn't a tube is a big plus. I find the smell pleasant and certainly can pick out the calendula and Shea butter notes. The cream also contains hyaluronic acid which is perfect as so does my morning moisturiser and I can use the BB cream immediately after applying my Hydro Boost gel - something I cannot do with any other foundation type product. It is probably why the BB cream feels cold to the touch and has that initial clammy feeling when first applied.

I find that this cream applies easily and gives a nice even coverage that hides just enough, but still looks really natural. It is a dewy finish, and I use my favourite face powder over the top because that's what I like to do. I love the finish and find that with the application of face powder over the top, the finish looks just as great 8 hours later. I have tried finger application, sponge application, foundation brush application and beauty blender application and all are great, so it's whatever I have time for on the day.

It's not a cheap BB Cream with a price tag of $49.90, but it sure does last a long time, so I think it is great value for money.

The added bonus is that the BB Bardot (as do the other Oasis BB creams) contains a sunscreen. I didn't even realise this at first and it did surprise me when I found out as I usually react to foundation type sunscreens in products. However, this hasn't happened with this product, so it's a winner all round for me.

I tried a sample of the Munroe BB Cream from Oasis last year (yay for samples!) and was an immediate convert and purchased a bottle. Unlike another BB Cream I had tried and disliked for many reasons, the Oasis Cream was truely creamy and suited my skin perfectly. The pump bottle dispenses a good amount, the fragrance is pleasant. You need to move quickly while applying as it does start to thicken and dry. The finish is a lovely powder/matt which I love as I'm not a fan of shiny skin, with a medium to full cover. The tone is good for my pink based skin, and it really does make my complexion look amazing. I've given up on foundation! I rave about this product to friends whenever they say they are looking for a bb cream or a foundation. Bonus: Made in NZ, the team are great when it comes to contact.

I've tried all 3 BB creams from the Oasis range and have fallen in love with the Hepburn. I find the matte finish on this one and the colour is just perfect for me over summer. I mainly use this on my neck, rather than using up my more expensive foundation, and find it blends perfectly and drys to a nice matte, but not too matte, finish. Perfect for my slightly oily skin. It still looks good at the end of the day too!

I've only received samples with my orders of this so far but will be happy to shell out $49.90 for the product as I feel it will last me quite some time based on the use I have gotten out of the samples.

This is a really great BB cream, it ticks all the boxes. Coverage - they have three different BB creams that provide different levels of coverage, so whether you're going for something very light or something akin to foundation, they've got it.

SPF - included, like it should be! :D

Sensitive skin - the Oasis range is designed for sensitive skin, so this should be gentle enough for most skin types.

Ease of application - this can be applied with your fingers, a wet sponge or a brush. While I haven't tried with a brush, I find a wet sponge gives a very sheer, natural finish.

Eco-friendly - this is a New Zealand brand, so you're supporting a local, very ethical, company. Yay!

This is a great product - and I truly believe that, because I repurchased when I NEVER repurchase products!!

I used the medium, which did a great job of covering my skin imperfections. It stayed put all day and didn't cause any issues for my sensitive, combination skin. As a bonus, it has SPF. This so important in our NZ sun!

In winter I did find it was a bit dark and heavy for my pale skin, but then I bought their BB Blending Brush. This gave me an amazingly light, natural coverage, far superior to what I was achieving with my fingers! As a bonus, the brush has actually made it even faster for me to apply.

My only issues with this is the price - $50 is more than I would usually pay for a 50ml product. However, it's an NZ-made product made with safe ingredients that are gentle on my skin, it covers my blemishes and protects me from the sun. For all that, I'm willing to pay the price!

This is locally made in a town very close to where I live and love the thought of supporting a NZ business that is also animal friendly.

I have used both the light and medium BB cream. The medium for summer and if I am wanting more coverage than usual. Saving the light cream for everyday wear.

I do really like these but the price is slightly off putting but in saying that a tube lasts me a while. Also the tube head can get clogged so sometime I end up wasting quite a bit.. I prefer the older bottles that used the pump nozzle.

The medium one smells a bit like almonds to me not the best smell personally but for a product that is cruelty free and doesn't aggravate my skin I can live with that.

Easily blended and good coverage while minimising my redness.

I was lucky enough to score this BB cream at the real cheap price of just $10 from the Oasis website garage sale they just had and well,I'm actually pleasantly surprised with the product as it really does deliver on what I am looking for in a BB cream.For a day time no make- up look this works really well and gives my skin a nice healthy glow all the while helping protect it from our harsh sun because of the SPF15 in it along with skin loving ingredients Apricot Kernel,Rosehip,Shea Butter,Jojoba,Calendula,Red Grape,Vitamins C,E and B5,Pomegranate,Sweet Almond Oil and Hyaluronic Acid.There are no added parabans,sulphates,silicones,talc or other nasty ingredients and it is also fragrance free and not tested on animals so suitable for vegans.I brought the shade Light which was previously called The Bardot and it suits my fair skin tone so I wouldn't go to a darker shade.For a quick day time look I just usually apply my moisturiser first then the BB cream and a concealer on the parts which need more disguising such as under the eyes and the odd dark spot or two then I just give my face a wee dusting of powder to set my look for the day and i'm done.I am impressed with the Oasis brand and will definitely be checking out their other products.

I love Oasis Beauty BB Cream, I have it in cream as I am very fair skinned and find that it doesn't have an orange undertone, more pink so my face actually looks fresh and natural rather than plastered with heavy colour. The fact that it is natural gives you a feel good experience also with its natural smell that refreshes as you use it. A little really goes a long way and you have to be quick when applying as it dries to a powder finish which means no powder needed to set the base, which is always a bonus when on the go. No shine also means its the perfect BB cream for me.
