Oasis Beauty Full Cover Mineral Foundation Review

This BB cream was a little thicker than others I have tried before. Other than that I would say the results were fairly similar to other BB creams. I think the coverage may have been a little thicker due to the thickness of the BB cream, which is ideal if you are wanting to hide imprefections. Howver the reason why I would most likely be choosing this BB cream over other brands is because it is organic; which makes me feel like I'm looking after my skin better, and because it is New Zealand made. If I can I always do try to buy New Zealand made, so that would definitely be a contributor.

I am in love with this BB cream. Simple packaging but it has a pump so it is super easy to get the perfect amount without wastage and its hygienic. It's quite thick but I love that as the coverage is almost as good as a foundation. I wear it every day (for at least a month) and I haven't had any breakouts or dry spots I would almost prefer this to foundation. It's easy to apply (I just use a brush) and it has a great matte finish. Not really much of a smell to it. I love how it's SPF and has no nasties and everyone knows Oasis is cruelty free!! There is not one bad thing about this product. I have recommended this to several family members who have sampled it and loved it too

A friend recommended Oasis to me, so I ordered a sample size of the Monroe BB Cream. Before my sample even ran out I decided that I loved it and needed to order a full size! It's perfect if you don't feel like wearing much makeup - but still want a bit of coverage.

I have been a BB girl for quite some time now. Especially as I find I only need a light to medium coverage on my skin as my complexion itself is good (most of the time), but its my uneven skin tone that I want to fix. I heard mixed reviews about this BB cream, so requested a sample from Oasis, which arrived so fast!

I began using this BB cream in winter, and I actually didn’t like it. In winter, my skin tends to get quite dry, and this BB cream, with its powder finish actually tended to enhance the dryness so I wasn’t too happy with it. As well as this, my winter skin was just a tad to light for the Hepburn BB cream so I stopped using the sample, and begin using it again in spring, when my skin was not so dry, and a bit darker in colour. And this is when I fell in love.

The bb cream had a thick and almost rich consistency to it, being the same colour as other BB creams, but obviously a bit darker as it is the Hepburn (the darkest BB shade Oasis offers), and the cream has a slight sheen to it. The samples come in generous little pottles so you really get to have a good try of the product before buying, which I did. The full size product comes in a plastic bottle which using a pump to disperse the bb cream. A method I love because it keep the product sanitary, and keeps yucky germs out! It has the beautiful Oasis coloured label, and is just packaged in a clean and crisp design which is effective.

I have tried numerous ways of applying this BB cream, and I have to say the best method I have found it using a sponge. Currently I use the Real technique sponge, and it is perfect for blending the BB cream, and provides a smooth and near flawless coverage. Another positive thing about the BB cream is it feels so light weight, but it is actually a full coverage product. I did try using my fingers initially, but found it could get a perfectly smooth look!

Plus the last amazing thing about this product is that it is made by Oasis, so I don’t have to worry about what’s in the BB cream, and I can trust it is good for my skin. Especially as it is paraben and fragrance free

I do enjoy using this product. Its light weight, and has none of those bad ingredients in it and it provides great coverage. The only thing about this product is its only a product I can use in the warmer months because that’s the only time of the year I can get a good colour match, and because in winter, the finish on the BB cream enhances my dry skin, rather then hiding it!

I do recommend this product, get a sample to ensure you can find a shade right for your skin!

This is my new fav bb cream it has an awesome matt powder finish. It leaves your skin tone even and flawless and you don't need to use alot to get great coverage. Its very creamy and odourless it let's your skin breathe. No need for an extra finishing powder this is one step moisture and perfect coverage.

I gotta say. What the hell do they use because it's good! So good, I'm in love with their Hepburn and Monroe bb creams. I tried the sample size and I loved it. They are expensive for one but they are going to save your skin. All their bb creams look so matte and they dry pretty quick.

I definitely can't wait till I'm rich to buy and buy from oasis beauty. You women are out of this world. Love your so much

These bb creams are amazing. I purchased the Oasis goodie bag which contains samples of all their products. Out of their 3 bb creams I liked the Bardot and the Monroe. I will be purchasing the Monroe as I feel it offers better all day coverage. This product offers spf25, colour and moisture. I have tried a variety of bb creams and would rate this brand the best. What they state on their website is exactly what the product does. Plus an added bonus its made in nz, natural and not tested on animals.

Simply the best BB cream I have ever tried. I have always been a full coverage girl, always feel naked without foundation on but this BB cream is just like wearing foundation but only lighter & quicker to apply. I use a kabuki brush to apply, it's creamy, soft & rich on application and goes on easily with very little blending needed. I have had trouble finding the right shade for me in BB creams but The Monroe is perfect for me, it's not orange or pale, very natural and I love how it sets matte, even on the hottest days it still has staying power with no shine or oiliness. I will be purchasing a full size product, it's won me over!!

Previously a Mabelline supermarket bb cream obsessive I really wanted to try something natural and less mass produced but it is hard to try something new that is a daily staple. First tried a sample of this product and then purchased a full sized product. This is now a daily use product - after 3 weeks though I not sure I 100% love the matt finish? Makes me look a little pale and seems to have a drier finish, not ideal for under a powder. Foundation. But it is great just on its own. Might try this in another colour or type. I do absolutely love the natural ingredients and to support locally made products .

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.
