I was getting impatient to try out the BB cream-after I bought it more than a week ago. Now I believe that-to test the efficacy of any makeup-it must be worn for a full day outside-in the most sickest of weathers (no I dont want to mean that during cyclones or Earthquakes make the ideal testing environment :D) and exposed to all possible discomforts. I mean to say-makeup should be tested on a warm day-will loads of sun and travelling-or exposing to the environment that you work at-to know how good it is for you in real. So I just waited for a long day out and wore the Maybelline BB cream underneath Maybelline Satin Finish Foundation ( Not available here-got from Germany- Its an AWESOME product)
So this is what I felt after using the Maybelline BB cream:
1) It requires about 3-4 pumps or blobs (as below) to cover the full face-but not the neck.
2) At first- on applying-it settles as a white layer-which takes about 1 minute to get completely absorbed on the skin and then you cant find a trace of it
4) The appearance of acne spots looks mitigated-I wont say covered or concealed or diminished-I think the BB cream created a smooth surface over them-and the blending of foundation was so nice that pigmentated areas became less visible
 |
| I have a few pimple and acne scars on this side of my cheek-which are not much visible after using the BB cream below foundationn no concealer is used |
5) My face looked Bright-truly bright after applying foundation over this. Now although foundations cover up skin imperfections and hide many flaws-they dont really impart brightness to the complexion. So often they look cakey/patchy/splotched-for which actually the underlying skin is to be blamed for. I found that my skin really looked radiant after using this Brightness Benefit cream.
6) I wore it during daytime-when there was plenty of Sun and the weather was warm. I traveled long and found that my skin was getting an oily shine slowly. I mean this slowly made my skin look sweaty. I had to use tissue paper to wipe the oilyness off. So people wanting a matte look-this isnt for you
7) I dint find this BB cream to break me out after the single use
8) The quantity of the cream would last me about 5 uses-but seeing the result I am happy for the price I am paying.
9) I dont know how it will fare in peak sultry summer-when nothing but water survives on skin!
10) For very oily skinned ladies-this BB cream may not be suitable.
Overall Recommendation: 90%
wow..sound amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteYaa-at first I thought it was just giving a white cast-then after using it it realised its real positive features!!!

Hey Jyotsna thanks!! I say you try it-you will surely like it!!! :)
Deletereally gives a flawless look.............. wow
ReplyDeleteYepp-and an unmistakable glow!
Deletethe quantity is bad... i expect my product to last longer than a few days... :( but i like the brightening effect it has... :) i also had a few breakouts...not sure if this is the reason for that or not. I agree abt the oiliness though... not a fan of it :(
ReplyDeleteYaa-I mean the tip of my nose got oily within 15 mins-but overall-I loved the glow-like the effect is very different from highlighters-but really 18ml is too meagre :
DeleteI dont much like matte finish, so this may be good for me, what you say sweety??? May try it once and see hey na? :p
ReplyDeleteYou can get this taps-and natural would me the right shade for you-and I think this suggestion from me would work for you again :)
Deletewah wah wah thank u for such an in-depth review anuradha :) and your skin is glowing sweetie!!! :D love it totally! :D
ReplyDeletehehehe-thankuuu sweetyyyy mwaahzzz-but I dont think u need this-you already have such flawless and radiant skin :)
DeleteJust 5 uses..OMG :( This sounds nice though..they should increase the qty !
ReplyDeleteyaa-the tube is already blowing air after my first use :( :( I dont know why they are offering this tester sized products :(
DeleteI would love to try this!! Nice review..
ReplyDeleteDo try this-this is a nice product!
DeleteGreat blog, following you now ^_^. I am still gonna get this cause I am craving for a B.B cream XD. Nice review but BB Creams r suppose to be used without a foundation. That is why it has tinted color to replace your foundation while it helps to heal your skin. So try without a foundation. There r tutorials too in youtube how to apply B B Creams and how much is needed. :)
ReplyDeleteHeyy thank youu for visiting my blog and following!!!! Actually me too read that BB creams are supposed to be one step"healing makeup" and you dont really need anything over it. But this one is far from giving the effects of a foundation-or even a tinted moisturiser-it is more a primer I guess-if you apply and blend it-it will disappear-leaving behind only the subtle glow :( this isnt a real "blemish balm" I guess
DeleteIt still isnt available at a counter near me :( Gotta try somewhere else
ReplyDeleteOhh-I found it at Shoppers stop-u can check there :)
Deletei got this bb cream today itself and i quite like it. the only thing what i don't like is that it doesn't do anything to conceal or hide my blemishes.
ReplyDeleteBTW Nice review.......<3
Heyy thanks-and I feel the same way as you!! It has no concealing properties at all!! Its only for imparting that brightness-hence its name :D
Deleteexactly my thoughts..using it everyday now and actually it works like a tinted moisturiser,i feel :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is more a primer-but ya-in that way its pretty good :)
Deletesounds great!! Would love to try this :)
