Oasis Beauty Full Cover Mineral Foundation Review

I got both the Bardot and Monroe as test pots in the oasis beauty website as I was unsure which shade I would be better suited to and I was amazed at how well they both worked ! I have such awkward skin... some days it's lighter than others, so it was good to have both shades to work with.

I am more suited to the Monroe - and you only need the tiniest amount to get full coverage. It is quite thick, so if you're going full on face for a night out, or a photoshoot, make sure you only use a light foundation over it - but I can guarantee you won't even need foundation after!!

I have been using this for just over a month now. This is hands down my fave!! The cost...a little pricy but honestly I havent ever liked a product so much where I can justify spending that much money! But what the heck!!

I love the texture of this BB Cream, its thick enough to give good coverage but still light enough to leave my face feeling like it can breathe & not feel like its caked with product. It doesnt rub off during the day which I love.

Its easy to blend, its buildable, smells like ...cant actually pin point the smell but its instantly gone after a few minutes of applying it I forget that Im wearing it. I love how little you need of this product to cover your face!! Best BB cream!!

I really love this product. I got a free sample from Oasis and it has definitely put this BB cream on my wishlist. When I apply it, I use a makeup brush (just something I tend to do with anything coloured) and it spreads evenly and easily. Just a small touch really covers blemishes and makes a noticeable but natural difference. It isn't greasy; the powder finish is a nice description. I have sensitive skin and this is absolutely fine for me. I definitely recommend you pick up a tester from Hardys and give it a go. It'll be on your Christmas wishlist!

This is now my favourite BB Cream. It has a really smooth consistent texture unlike some BB Creams I have seen which tend to separate and go oily. I use the lightest shade, BB Monroe and find this a really good coverage for my skin tone. I use a damp make up sponge to apply it and use approximately 2-3 squirts. Being a BB Cream the coverage isn't thick but gives a good day coverage.

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.

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.

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.

This foundation is really smooth for applying. It blended into my skin very nicely and the medium suited my skin colour nicely. It has good coverage and doesn't dry out my skin.

I tried Natural BB Cream in Light Shade and I really liked it. It is non- greasy, very light to wear and gave nice coverage. It is ideal for ladies like me who would like to have natural look and would not like heavy foundation for daily use. No body could say that I am wearing a base yet I had smooth looking even skin tone. Thanks Oasis Beauty NZ.
