Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream | Review

Maybelline Dream pure BB 8-in-1 BB cream £7.99

Hello lovelies, I have been on the hunt for a new BB cream for ages now ready for the warmer months (if we ever get those) and I was in Boots the other day buying some make-up for my mum and seen Maybelline still had a 3 for 2 offer on, I got my mums mascara and lipstick and seen they did this bb cream so I thought I'd give it a go as it was free. I am terribly fussy with bb creams, I like a medium to full coverage and most bb creams make me look so orange even the light shade ones! But this is in fact the shade medium as the lighter one would have washed me out I think, so if like me you are pale this one will be perfect for you I reckon, this one is for oily skin too as I couldn't find the one for combination skin but this has worked great on my skin, I am having no problems with it so far any way plus my skin is more oilier in the summer months. It has an SPF of 15 it claims to -

1. Conceal imperfections.

2. Helps protect against the appereance of blemishes.

3. Oil free - non greasy.

4. Minimise the appearance of pores.

5. Clarifies the skins look.

6. Conceals redness.

7. Hydrates and smoothes.

8. Compliments the skin tone.

I would have to agree with them all, although it doesn't completely hide your spots but what make up product really does? There not miracle workers but I hate my freckles and they hide most of them, it definitely compliments my skin tone, it feels lovely and smooth and minimises the large pores I have on my nose. I am loving this, even more so then my favorite last year the Garnier bb cream.  It even gives me a little airbrushed look and I only need to put the tiniest amount of concealer on top, this is great if your in a rush and a little goes a long way with the Real techniques stippling brush. I would say it is medium to full coverage, very buildable and they also do one for dry skin, I'm not actually sure if they do one for combination but this one worked great for me. I would highly recommend this if you like a good coverage bb cream, its light and perfect for the warmer months, I love the packaging too it fits perfectly into my make up bag.

My Make Up Collection - 2nd Draw of Foundations & BB Creams.

Hello lovelies, continuing my make up collection posts from last week today I have for you the rest of my foundation collection and some BB/CC creams I own.

The rest of my Foundations.

Seventeen On the Spot Foundation in shade natural, Apparently helps you get rid of the appearance of spots in less than four weeks, hmm I don't agree with this at all. I didn't use it solid for four weeks so I can't judge strongly but it defiantly didn't get rid of spots or the appearance of them when I did use it. It is a very light coverage foundation, you don't get a lot of shade choices and doesn't last a great deal either, this is probably the product i like the least of Seventeen products I have tried but I wear this on days when I'm not really making much of an effort. MUA Undress your skin illuminating foundation in porcelain, I don't know why I still have this in my collection as I hate the formula, once dried on my skin it feels quite chalky, I may see if my friend wants this and see how she gets along with it, it might just be my skin, who knows? I actually haven't even got round to trying the Revlon foundations, how awful of me, true beauty blogger who hasn't even used things in her stash yet. Lastly the LUSH color supplement in light yellow, a funny shade name but their foundation is to suit your skin tone and pigmentation, it is handmade and not only is it a foundation it helps to mosturise your skin with its ingredients of vitamins and oils and also protects you from the sun a pretty good all in one foundation! I love the coverage of this, I would say medium to full, it helps cover blemishes and dark circles and I love the packaging, its different. 

BB/CC creams and tinted moisturisers.

My favorite of them all, in my collection anyway is the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector all in one BB cream, I find with most BB/CC creams I have tried they just don't offer enough coverage for me and don't make any difference to my skin/appearance, but I find with this it does! It is medium to full coverage and covers any red areas and small blemishes. Again being rubbish I haven't tried a couple more products in my collecton being the Inika mineral foundation which I got in a glossybox and No7 Triple protection tinted moisturiser. I also love the Body Shop Vitamin E tinted moisture lotion, this has medium coverage for me, it is protecting my skin at the same time and it's great for days where your just plotting about and don't need a full coverage, if I had a great flawless face I would wear this every day. Two I'm not a fan of is the CC cream and Pure BB cream, I picked both of these up from Home bargains both under £2, so not a cheap and cheerful product. I will be giving these to my Mum or Nan as there not massive make up wearers and they may like them. Lastly Olay complete care plus touch of foundation, I like this product but I do find it can make me a bit orange throughout the day, medium coverage and moisturises my skin as well as covering it up.

I would love some BB cream recommendations, if you have any or your own favorites please leave them in the comments below.
