Olay Total Effects Touch of Foundation BB Crème SPF15 Review

Well l purchased this Olay Creme thinking it was my usual daily moisturiser! Well anyway it's slightly too dark for my pale skin , but as summer gets a little closer it might be great for my outdoor activities. It seems to last all day and has the usual texture and feel of their daily moisturiser. Great it has the SPF15 Got it on special for $19.99 at Woolworths

Hey ! This product arrived the next morning after the condemnation email ! I used it straight away and I love it!! It glides on to my face beautifully it's really email to use with a pump. Does take a few pumps to get it started when u first get it but that would be the only thing . It have a gorgeous light sent and is beautiful under my mineral foundation. I would not hesitate to buy this product again and it's not a bad price either. Just as good to use on its own Love love love it !!!!

Overall I liked this product. As someone who does not wear alot of makeup I found Olay Total Effects Touch of Foundation BB Cream perfect for me.

Loved how it combines a moisturizer with SPF 15 sunscreen and BB Cream. The pump bottle was perfect shape and easy to use with enough cream being pumped out with a single pump. Smell was fine and wasn't too overpowering.

Cream was quite thin it maybe could be a tad thicker but was easy to apply with fingers or a brush (I tried both ways and both worked well). Colour was great for me very natural but that's what I like as do not wear alot of makeup anyway. Don't know what it would be like on slightly tanned/darker skin tones but probably not suitable for someone who likes a thicker coverage.

I was really happy to be asked to be part of this trial, the product sounds so good in theory.

The packaging didn't stand out to me, though Olay is a well known and trusted brand, so maybe that gets it through. The first claim - perfect light cover. If you have perfect skin, then this will probably glide on gloriously. If your skins is a bit...average like mine (combination, but fairly acne free while I was trying this) then it probably wont look so good. On my skin it looked patchy, dark spots that looked like I had caked it on and others that were light. (Note I'm always the palest shade you can get in foundation, and this was not a match for me at all) It worked a little better when I piled some light powder on, smoothed out the patchiness and lightened it enough to have just a light summer cover. This kind of removes the 'radiance' claim that comes with the shine of the product without powder. The sunscreen element is great - it really works. I have had other foundations that claim to have spf but have failed dismally. This worked well in the full sun of a 28 degree day at the beach, and it wore well as well, not sliding or disappearing. I can't really comment on the anti-aging. It wasn't obvious on application to me and I don't feel that I had long enough to figure out if it was going to make any huge difference.

Would I buy this again - honestly, probably not unless they came out with one for us vampire pale girls. I like the idea of it, and I think it works. It's just the colour and patchiness that really don't impress me personally.

I had high hopes for this all in one type of product. I applied it with a flat top foundation brush and it smelt nice. It spread easy and effortlessly. Blended well and my skin looked really nice and even, fresh and dewy.

I went to work.....I went orange :( It had oxidised on me so much that I turned into an oompa loompa.

So I tried again for 3 days , using the bare minimum of product. It did the same. So I'm sorry, this product is a no from me. If I was tanner , sure! But I'm a porcelain.

This is a hefty bottle in diameter & kind of eye catching. I've had this for a whole sitting in my drawer and have used it a number of times but not daily. Comes with a pulp dipenser that doesn't suit the product erraticaly everywhere but more dispenses like toothpaste. The shade is said to suit all skin tones & I can agree. I've used it in spring & summer when my skin tones are two different shades. In winter I'm a medium skint one with a neutral undertone & summer I'm a tanned skint one with a golden neutral undertone. It has a good consistency not too thick not to liquidity almost perfect, with this consistency it's easy to apply both with makeup tools such as a kabuki brush or beauty blender or hands. I've used all three ways & found it to give good performance but my preference has been applying with my hands. It smoothly blends out, as a moisterizer would & leaves my skin looking radiant & evens my skin tone & imperfections on occasions I feel no need to add any concealer to cover any of my imperfections because the effect it gives a natural almost flawless look. In saying that I've done a full face as well with primer under neath & my powder blush bronzer's & highlighters all sit well on top of this product. I did notice some appearance of age defying but that was only temporary. As soon as I removed the product I wasn't left without wrinkles or the like. So it's not a serum miracle woke more of a cover up that can give the effect of natural glow & beauty. I wouldn't think this would suit everyone especially if you're of darker skintone but perhaps it could be used as a primer since I found my makeup sat well on top of it. This isn't heavy or slippery but does transfer even when I've set my face with powder & setting spray. So it's great for day time use when running errands or just around the house. Id you're looking for full coverage this isn't the choice for you. In all this isn't disappointing & for a supermarket drugstore brand it's affordable for this size. There are other brands that have better but either come smaller in tube's the pump is definitely a winning factor coupled with a lid.

I have only purchased this once and I don't think I would use it again, I didn't finish the bottle as I felt that it really made my skin dry. With being a bit older I need something a bit more moisturizing and this product do not do that at all. I applied it more than once and the more I applied the worse it felt.

I absolutely love this BB crème. I have been using it consistently for over a year now and have replaced it with foundation. Its very lightweight and keeps my face feeling moisturised all day, and fits my medium skin tone without looking orange or too tan as I find a lot of BB creams do. I've gone through countless bottles and will continue to be my go to!

Honestly this is my go to foundation now. It moisturisers, gives me sun protection and has a great colour base with a slight glow. People have noticed and commented on how well I look.
