As you may have already read in my monthly favourites a couple of weeks ago, I love this BB cream from Maybelline! I have never been a big fan of BB creams because I thought they would never be able to provide me with the coverage that I wanted. However lately I have been loving giving my skin a break and not wearing any foundation on days when I'm feeling lazy. So I saw the commercial for this new BB cream and the fact that it had 2% salicylic acid really intrigued me. Maybelline recently had 50% there entire range at Priceline so I decided to give it ago.
I have fallen in love, and now realise why the world loves BB creams. I love using this when I want to even out my skin tone and coverup some imperfections. It is a medium coverage so if you really want to cover nasty red spots or dark under eye circles, you can layer the BB cream or I prefer to use concealer. However sometimes I don't even worry about concealer, there is nothing wrong with showing your imperfections!
The formula is for oily skin, however I have quite normal skin and can't say wether or not the product keeps oily skin under control. But what I can comment on, since I have been using this product around every second day for a few weeks, is the 2% salicylic acid. I don't think this prevented spots from appearing, however I do believe it got rid of spots quicker than if I had not be using the cream. Obviously this is just my opinion and I can't 100% tell you that it works but I think it is worth giving it ago, especially if you have troublesome skin.
The product has a nice and creamy formulation, it isn't too tough or too runny. I found it dries quite quickly on the skin, so you need to blend quickly to avoid an uneven application. It also leaves your skin feeling nice and smooth, wether you put a powder over the top or wear just by itself.
I'm loving this product and I hope if you try it you love it too!
Thanks for reading!!
