Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

This is a pretty average BB cream. I choose this as it contains SPF and salicylic acid, which is good for problem skin. For reference my skin is not acne prone but can get oily and I thought this would provide a better finish compared to the Dream Fresh BB.

It only comes in two colours, which is frustrating. I am in the lighter shade, but I have olivey skin and usually the middle shade in foundation ranges, so it would not be suitable for a lot of paler people.

It applies easily and does give some coverage, with a mattifying finish which I prefer. Good for beginners or those who need something that they can get quickly - it is widely stocked at Farmers, KMart, The Warehouse and pharmacies.

Packaging is good. Easy to use. Has a liquidy, runny texture, I wouldn't say it's a 'cream'. Gives enough coverage for my skin. The shades for this product I feel needs to be improved. For the price you pay it's a fair deal. It's a good go to product when you don't feel like wearing heavy make up

This product is my favorite BB cream that I have used so far (and I have used a lot). It has enough coverage that it hides or down tones my blemishes yet it blends nicely enough that it is not caked. my face feels moisturized and i enjoy wearing it. need to top up my stock!!

wow I was so surprised how good this BB cream was. I am fair skinned so I used the light one and I didn't even need to wear concealer, foundation or powder which was awesome for my pocket. I love how it improved blemishes and I noticed I didn't have as many outbreaks from using this compared to others. I also luv the fact that it's a great price so it's very affordable.

I was recently given a tube of this in medium, so thought I'd give it a go (I regularly use Chichi's BB cream so this isn't something I would purchase on my own).

The first thing I noticed is that the tube is tiny! I definitely would only buy this if it was on sale, I don't think it's better than any of the better value BB creams on the market. The packaging is ok, nothing special.

The product itself is just a standard liquid BB cream formula. It does have a really faint smell to it that's not awesome, but isn't too noticeable. I found that it does feel quite nice on your skin when you apply it, it's not heavy and blends in easily. The texture looks very natural which is good. I did need to use quite a bit to do my full face, so I don't know how long such a tiny tube would last.

Appearance wise, it did give pretty decent coverage. Unlike my other BB cream it isn't shiny so you could probably get away with wearing it without any powder, although I feel with powder on top you would get very good coverage with this product. The trade off is that it is only SPF 15, I would want something with higher SPF on my face if I was going to be in the sun all day. It does have a reasonably natural matte finish to it, although the colour almost looks muddy on some parts of my face. I think the lighter shade would suit me better, although I still feel that the colour should look more even than it does.

Overall, it looks fine and would be ok as a daily BB cream where you don't have time to fuss with primers and powders in the morning. I definitely do think there are better BB creams out there though.

I brought this hoping it would be amazing like the other BB creams i have brought. I got it in the colour Light and it was way to dark for me and quite orange. I do have quite pale skin. I found once i had it on for a couple hours it went more orange and came off quite quickly.... If they make a lighter colour i may try again :)

You can pick this up at the local supermarket but it only has 3 colour options light, medium and dark. Light is a little too light for my face. Medium I have a spray tan. Matchability on your face will not be the greatest. If it is going under foundation, this shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

It is in a small screw top tube with the lid being a turquoise-blue in colour. The lids help differ it from the Dream fresh range, similar tube, different lid. It does contain a spf of 15. The coverage is light, you can see it is there but it doesn’t cover freckles, spots etc and if you don’t rub it in properly you can see it. Application is easy. Fingers, sponge or brush, your choice. When put in your hand it forms a puddle rather than holding a shape like a thicker cream. It is very liquid as opposed to creamy. About the size of a pea should be enough to cover your face and start down your neck. I use this for the no made up make up look rather than foundation with mineral powder on top even though it does have a matte finish.

Will I purchase again? If in need, yes but there are other CC and BB creams I want to try once this is finished. Mainly to find a better match with my skin tone.

I picked this up at a sale for $12 in the shade "light". I mainly got it because of the cheap price tag, the fact that it contains SPF, and because I have been trying out lots of different BB creams lately to try and find the perfect one for me.

The product is unlike any other BB cream I have used because it has a very runny consistency. I apply it with my fingers and it does go on easily and blends really well. I do have to use quite a bit to get the desired (ish) effect. It feels very light and makes my skin look dewy and fresh.

However, it does not cover up blemishes and redness well enough for me which is disappointing. I find that I need to use some mineral foundation powder over the top.

Great for a natural look. It does cover redness but not much else. Its very lightweight and you don't even notice that you have it on.
