It's my Go-To

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!

Tips: Generous Oasis samples can be picked up from any Oasis retailer or their website, so you can try before you buy.

Does it all

This is a great product - and I truly believe that, because I repurchased when I NEVER repurchase products!!

I used the medium, which did a great job of covering my skin imperfections. It stayed put all day and didn't cause any issues for my sensitive, combination skin. As a bonus, it has SPF. This so important in our NZ sun!

In winter I did find it was a bit dark and heavy for my pale skin, but then I bought their BB Blending Brush. This gave me an amazingly light, natural coverage, far superior to what I was achieving with my fingers! As a bonus, the brush has actually made it even faster for me to apply.

My only issues with this is the price - $50 is more than I would usually pay for a 50ml product. However, it's an NZ-made product made with safe ingredients that are gentle on my skin, it covers my blemishes and protects me from the sun. For all that, I'm willing to pay the price!

Tips: Treat yourself to a BB Blending Brush. You will not regret it!

Locally made

This is locally made in a town very close to where I live and love the thought of supporting a NZ business that is also animal friendly.

I have used both the light and medium BB cream. The medium for summer and if I am wanting more coverage than usual. Saving the light cream for everyday wear.

I do really like these but the price is slightly off putting but in saying that a tube lasts me a while. Also the tube head can get clogged so sometime I end up wasting quite a bit.. I prefer the older bottles that used the pump nozzle.

The medium one smells a bit like almonds to me not the best smell personally but for a product that is cruelty free and doesn't aggravate my skin I can live with that.

Easily blended and good coverage while minimising my redness.

Tips: Use a really good makeup remover my usual cleanser doesn't cut it for removing this.

Natural Beauty

I was lucky enough to score this BB cream at the real cheap price of just $10 from the Oasis website garage sale they just had and well,I'm actually pleasantly surprised with the product as it really does deliver on what I am looking for in a BB cream.For a day time no make- up look this works really well and gives my skin a nice healthy glow all the while helping protect it from our harsh sun because of the SPF15 in it along with skin loving ingredients Apricot Kernel,Rosehip,Shea Butter,Jojoba,Calendula,Red Grape,Vitamins C,E and B5,Pomegranate,Sweet Almond Oil and Hyaluronic Acid.There are no added parabans,sulphates,silicones,talc or other nasty ingredients and it is also fragrance free and not tested on animals so suitable for vegans.I brought the shade Light which was previously called The Bardot and it suits my fair skin tone so I wouldn't go to a darker shade.For a quick day time look I just usually apply my moisturiser first then the BB cream and a concealer on the parts which need more disguising such as under the eyes and the odd dark spot or two then I just give my face a wee dusting of powder to set my look for the day and i'm done.I am impressed with the Oasis brand and will definitely be checking out their other products.

Great coverage.

I have both the honey tint (dewy finish) and cream tint (powder finish).

The Honey tint is the darker of the two and has a very thick and creamy formula. It leaves a dewy finish which looks great but often leaves my skin feeling oily. The coverage is wonderful though and is very easy to apply.

The cream tint is a lighter shade and has a powder finish, which is great for oily skin. The formula is not as thick as the honey tint but still provides great coverage.

Both products contain some wonderful, natural ingredients that are great for sensitive skin. I have never had any types of problems with these products. One this I dont like is the smell of these BB creams lol...they smell kinda gross but the smell dosnt last very long at all.

Oasis BB Cream The Monroe

I received a free sample of this after the lovely BR ladies mentioned on the forum you could get some free samples to try and I have always wanted to try some of their products but being quite pricey it is nice to be able to try this first. This arrived in a little plastic pot with about a weeks worth of product to try. I was really surprised by the consistency of The Monroe it was a thick consistency and im used to BB Creams being quite runny and light more like moisturisers or suncreem. This was thick and more like a foundation then a bb cream texture. It reminded me of a mousse foundation that sort of air whipped feel but still light and airy on the skin. I applied this after washing my face with some Thursday plantation tea tree face wash and moisturising with the oasis apple a day moisturiser, I applied using my hands like I would a moisturiser but you didn’t need a lot as a little went a long way with this bb cream.

There is no real obvious fragance which is great I find a lot of the time things with a fragrance tend to aggrevate my skin. This covered really well better than any other bb cream I have ever used. It covered my skin beautifully got rid of redness and covered my blemishes while still letting a little bit of my freckles and skin shine through. It didn’t cover my dark circles but there isnt much that does. It has a really good strong pigment and finished with a matte finish like a foundation. I only had to apply a little bit of concealer to my dark circles and then carry on with the rest of my makeup routine without having to use some foundation to build over the top. The Monroe is the lightest shade which suited my very pale skin perfectly. I am normally the lightest shade in every foundation so its often hard to find even BB creams that don’t come out orangey on my skin.

I didn’t set with powder and it lasted my work day really well it had just started to come off a little on the most rubbed/touched areas (chin/forehead nose). But it lasted my 8 hour day pretty flawlessy. I have very sensitive skin and this didnt upset the balance of my skin at all.

I was really happy with this BB cream and how it looked and felt on my face, it was a lot more like a foundation but with the good healing properties of the BB cream, it lasted well and had a great finish. It is a pricey BB cream but I think its worth it and I will be using this in the future I would definitely recommend this to others who like a heavier more coverage bb cream.

Tips: a little goes a long way you only need a tiny amount.

Goodbye Garnier, Hello Monroe!

The thick, creamy consistancy of "The Monroe" glides on smoothly and blends easily, leaving a matte finish which is great for my oily skin. I tried applying the BB cream with my fingers, a foundation brush and a sponge and the sponge definitely works the best, leaving an almost airbrushed look and can be built up easily from sheer coverage to full coverage using the sponge.

The pump action bottle makes it easy to dispense a small amount at a time, making it perfect to get sheer coverage while reducing wastage and eliminating exposure to air and bacteria. The BB cream lasts all day and washes off easily with a regular cleanser.

I have a very oily skin, so even though "The Monroe" has a matte finish, I prefer to add a light dusting of translucent powder over the top to set the BB cream and give me a longer lasting matte finish.

The colour of Monroe suited my skin tone perfectly! The foundation I'd been using before I switched to a BB cream was Revlon Colorstay in Natural Beige (#004), just to give you an idea of a similar colour and my skin tone.

I would definitely recommend and use this product again. I've since purchased their "Jackpot" goodie bag, so that I can try more of their wonderful products.

The only downside to this product is the cost ... it is expensive and might be something that I end up adding to my Christmas or birthday wish list.

Tips: Try before you buy! Oasis Beauty are happy to send you 3 sample products of your choice before you purchase full sized items. Choose wisely though, as you only get 3 free ones. After that, it's one free sample with full sized purchases.

Love

I have been using Oasis BB cream in Honey for a few months now and really like it! It glides on smoothly, gives great coverage, looks natural, and feels fresh all day. I am so glad that I have found a nice BB cream that does not contain nasties or cost the earth!

Tips: I apply a little rosehip oil first to prevent drying around the nose area.

BB cream

I use this BB cream on most days of the week, whether it is on its own or as a base for my foundation. I think it is quite a nice BB cream but it isn't the best out there. I use it because I know it is made by great people and with great ingredients because Oasis is awesome! I find that the colour is just a but pink for me, but the other colour is way to dark. I am annoying in the middle!! I like the minimal coverage and natural look and feel it has. I know they are readjusting the product so I look forward to trialling their new ones when they come out! Overall I would recommend to others =)

Great bb cream

I received my sample of the bb cream and was impressed! The bardot colour suited my skin tone perfectly. I found this bb cream gave great coverage, the best bb cream I have tried. After trying this I went and purchased the full size. Also, this is great for sensitive and dry skin. I love that its a nz company too!
