When I heard about this product I was really excited to try it. I'm a big fan of multi-tasking products, because no matter my best intentions when I try to layer moisturiser, sunscreen and foundation, I always get bored somewhere along the road and don't finish the job!
First up the packaging - the tube is the pale gold synonymous with Olay and you simply push down on the top to get product to come out. This means there is no chance of getting dirt into the tube and contaminating the product, so I appreciate that.
For the product itself, I'm a quite pale-skinned blondie, so BB cream can often be too yellow for me. When applied with my fingers the product looked a little too yellow for my skin tone and I didn't think it looked too natural. However, when I removed it that night I discovered that actually it was a much closer match to my skin tone than I had given it credit - I must have got a bit of a tan this summer after all!
The next day I figured, in the interest of equality of testing, I needed to try it with my Oasis BB blending brush (it is a brilliant tool, since you asked!). As with my regular BB cream (Oasis), after application with the blending brush the colour gave a good coverage (including hiding one particularly red blemish) and looked very natural. The coverage was slightly lighter than my Oasis one, but it lasted well, still disguising my uneven skin tone come time to wash it off that evening!
Finally price - at $33 it is very affordable compared to some other BB creams on the market - and is especially affordable when you consider you're getting moisturiser, foundation and sunscreen for your money!
Altogether this is a solid product that does actually do all the jobs it was designed for. Win!
This is a great cream to wear as a light foundation for day to day use or under powder foundation for the evenings.
The SPF15 means you are protected from the sun all day long.
It is light feeling and quick to apply. Additionally, it is easy to apply - either with a brush or simply by using your hands.
Tips: Make sure you blend well at the edges.
