Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

I've finally joined the BB Cream bandwagon (yes, I'm quite late)  and bought myself some BB cream. Before, I would only use this cheap tinted face moisturizer from ELF because I don't really count my skin as terrible so I don't use anything for coverage like foundation. Also, I have oily skin so I don't like to put much on my face for fear of break outs. I never even used my tinted moisturizer that much, only on particularly cold and dry winter days. Well, weeks of no use made my tinted moisturizer spill and crap out so I needed something new. I've heard such good things about BB cream so I decided to get myself one.

I got this from ULTA. It was the cheapest BB cream I could find in the store. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a type of product I'm only trying for the first time. The original price was $8.99 but with a coupon and a special 50% off Maybelline products, it only really cost me $4.99.

The product comes on a little bit thicker than I had expected. Although it says it only has a sheer tint, there is nothing sheer about it. It gives some pretty significant coverage in my opinion. It does nicely cover up the redness on my cheeks and makes my skin look lighter, which I love! It felt a little thick on my face at first because I'm not used to using face products but I'm getting used to it now and I don't really notice it anymore.

I got a few zits at first and I thought it was just because I was stressed. However, as time went by, my forehead really broke out and I stopped using it. My face is super oily so it doesn't accept most facial creams. I stopped using it and now it is getting better. I still like it though, but I will use it sparingly just like foundation.
