Maybelline Dream Fresh BB - Shade 'Light'
Everyone who has read my previous posts about BB Creams will know that I have an absolute love-hate relationship. I must have tried three or four now and there's only ever been one that I've truly liked, but I just haven't got round to ordering any to use properly. Well, the lovely people at Maybelline sent me three samples of theirs and I have to say I'm slightly impressed... only slightly though.
They sent me the shade 'light' to try which is actually way too light for my skin at the minute, due to me actually being tanned for once. I decided to try it anyway to see if it fit any of the claims Maybelline made, and I'm very surprised to say that it did.
Maybelline say that this BB Cream "smooths on effortlessly to make you look fresh-faced and perfected." Usually I find that BB Creams are really thick and gloopy, which totally puts me off using them on my skin, but this one was lovely and light. It blended really well and I didn't even need to go over it with my fingers, unlike I usually have to with other products. Although the colour was too light it had quite a good coverage and it felt really silky on my skin.

I have two more samples to try so when I have a day off work, I may try wearing it properly to see how I get on. I'm surprised it feels totally different to the others I've tried, and this actually makes me curious on how the right colour would suit me. Dream Fresh BB retails at £7.99 on the Boots website, which to be honest I think is quite decent too. Maybe this on-going BB relationship isn't going to end any time soon...
Have you tried Dream Fresh BB before? What did you think to it?
Hey Lovely!

I got these samples, I quite like this BB cream except the colour isn't right for me... Which is a shame as it's too dark and there isn't a lighter shade

Tried it but found the light too dark for me! Love my bb creams though, I'm Skin79 all the way!
ReplyDeleteI've tried three or four BB creams now and I can never find one I love and want to use :( I'm so tempted to buy this is the correct colour and try it on my holiday!
