Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

I am a big fan of tinted moisturizers and bb creams.The idea of not having to wear a full coverage foundation on a daily basis is really appealing to me.I just feel that for people who don't want to wear a full face of makeup every day , bb creams are a God send.

This is my second bb cream from Maybelline.I have been using their "Clear smooth minerals" bb cream and i absolutely love it.This one claims to be:
"The 1-step wonder for a good skin day, everyday.Packed with 8 great skin benefits for instant skin perfection."


The cream it self comes in a plastic tube, which contains 30ml/1 fl oz of product.This bb cream also boosts an SPF 30 with titanium dioxide as part of its ingredients.The product claims to be an "8 in 1 Beauty Balm skin perfecter".

My Thoughts:
The bb cream comes in five shades, ranging from "Light 100, Light/medium110,Medium120, Medium/deep130  to Deep140. I have it in "Light / Medium". I have been using it for a month now and it hasn't broken me out.The cream has more of a lotion consistency.It is not oily at all.I cant really say how it would be in the summer months but in this weather it completely  absorbs in the skin with out leaving any oily feeling behind.The coverage is very sheer.On the tube it says "sheer tint" and that describes the end result of this product to a hilt.You will have to use a concealer over it to hide pigmentation etc.At most this will even out your skin tone but don't go expecting it to provide any kind of coverage.The product is scent free and has SPF so that is always a plus.

I am not sure if this product is available in Pakistan at the Maybelline counters but you can get your hands on it by ordering from the multitude of Facebook pages that are providing all kinds of beauty products from all over the world at your door step (quite literally)  ;-)

This bb cream carries a rating of 3.5/5.0 at   Makeupalley.com .  And if you refer to buy online, it costs around 7-8 $.
Till next time.........

    1. BB creams and coverage hardly ever go hand in hand;)
