Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

This isn't as good as the Maybelline Clear Smooth BB cream you can buy in Asia- this is more like a good basic tinted moisturiser. It makes my skin look pretty even and blends well with my fingers.

While I'm not sure about the effectiveness of just 2% salicylic acid in a beauty product, this is a great lightweight BB cream and doesn't actively make me break out. It definitely lives up to its claim of complimenting skin tone - I was given mine by a friend in the shade 'light', when usually I'd buy a darker shade - yet it never made me look washed out and doesn't feel caked on. I still need powder on top (especially in the heat), but it's a great base product for days when I want to go almost makeup free, or I use it as a base before applying heavier foundation for nights out. There's definitely a decent amount of the product for the price, although I'd repurchase again only if it was on special - it doesn't really have any features that make it a 'stand out' from other BB creams. While it does have the addition of the salicylic acid, I have tried the original Maybelline BB cream, and actually prefer the formula even though I have acne prone skin.

I got this BB cream in the 'light' shade as part of a goody bag. I was excited to try it out as it has 2% salicylic acid and my skin is prone to break outs. I also like that it has SPF in it . This goes on smoothly and covers just as well as my Revlon Colorstay Foundation, but feels lighter and is a lot quicker to use for days when I want to wear minimal makeup or am in a rush. I haven't noticed it actively helping with my breakouts but my skin hasn't gotten any worse wearing it. As I'm quite pale the light shade is a teeny bit darker than my normal foundation but I feel I can get away with this during the summer months. I would repurchase this as its a good coverage, affordable BB cream, which mostly delivers, I just wish it came in a few more shades!!

Apart from the weird smell Iove it. I find that for it to cover my uneven skin tone I need to apply a little more than normal as its a very thin liquid. Though sometimes there is that problem of applying too much where I end up looking pale and washed up. Apart from that I find its good as a base for foundation or to wear on its own.

Probably wouldn't call it a "dream" product. This product is a BB cream with the benefit of salicylic acid. It comes in attractive packaging and is a nice size container that it lasts a decent while whilst still being convenient to carry in a handbag or cosmetic bag. It works well under foundation and the colour suited me fine.

However, I found that this BB cream really dried out my skin. I didn't cover anything on its own, but under foundation it was almost like a tinted moisturiser (but this is the same I have found with all BB creams).

Overall, probably wouldn't buy it again simply because I found it dried out my skin more than other BB creams I have tried.

I've been using this BB cream for a long while now and i enjoy using it. It's light and doesn't make your face feel cakey. I haven't really noticed that it helps with black heads or pimples, but it does help cover them up. Coverage is great - you only need a few drops to cover your whole face. It makes your face look natural and flawless, plus the added SPF is a great added bonus!

the color range.... usually i opt for a medium shade since i am a bit olive tone... however the shade was too light. however it did moisturize my face, keeping it oil free and smelled amazing.

I use this BB cream almost everyday. It definitely mattifies, even when my skin becomes oily later in the day. I wouldn't say that it targets blackheads very well and although it is SPF15 I have still had to apply extra UV protection if i'm out in the sun. I've found that it does not have great coverage in terms of concealing redness (I need to put on a few layers for that to happen) but, it is moisturising and help control breakouts to some degree. I think it is very well priced for what it is and I continue to use it because It's often on sale at Farmers (buy one get one free/ half price) and it has such a great matt finish.

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 price, easy to find and with spf, this product has huge potential. a few issues i found were that the light was still to dark and while the cover was great on most of my skin, parts of my T zone would start looking patchy and separated. Overall a light and comfortable product for every day use.
