Oasis Beauty Full Cover Mineral Foundation Review

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.

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 got a sample of this about a year ago when Oasis was giving them out for free. I got Bardot but it was far too light for me I gave it to my niece who enjoyed it. Then I saw Hepburn for sale second hand I had my fingers crossed that it would be a match. Unfortunately my skintone is far too dark for it. But I am mixing it with other foundations to bring the colour up to my tone.

Oasis is a well known kiwi brand that caters towards a skincare market. So many fellow beauty reviewers have rated this highly and so I wanted to get a feel for what this product is like.

Packaging: Comes in a beautifully labelled pump bottle. It has how to use on the back of it. On the front it has the Oasis labelling with Beautiful array of colours going down one side. Each pump of cream comes out easily and non messy.

Consistency- A thin to medium layer of product. Has a slight scent to it. I can't really describe it but I didn't like it.

Application- I like to use my brush and beauty blender with this. This product smooths over my skin easily. For light coverage two pumps. For full coverage I needed four to five pumps.

Results- This BB cream lasted me up to a minimun of Four hours and started to fade out for me. I did need to do touch ups with this. It didn't really do a full coverage for me. But typically thats what I would expect from a BB cream. Price wise its high, theres no way I would spend this amount on a BB cream maybe foundation I would. I had no skin irritations at all. Would I use it again , no because it cost too much for me to buy.

After seeing so many good things about this I decided to give it a try...it was awful! Didn't have any coverage on my skin, was really hard to work with and the lightest colour is just so dark! It felt like a sticky, heavy mess on my skin so I had to remove it straight away, would not use it again. Very disappointed.

Wondering if I got a bad batch as people seem to love it. For the price I was definitely expecting something amazing.

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!

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.

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!

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 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 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.
