Toss It or Try It: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you guys enjoyed reading my first 'Toss it or Try it' post this weekend! You may have seen my Target haul from a weeks ago, and I promised I would review one of the products in that haul. So my second 'Toss it or Try it' is on the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB that I bought in that Haul. 



I was in need of a new BB cream to use on days when I just needed some moisture and light coverage. I also wanted one that wasn't super pricey, so looked around Target. There weren't many BB creams in the drugstore, but I was buying a few other Maybelline products, so I went with this one.

What it promises to do: 8 skin benefits in one product: blurs imperfections, brightens, evens skin-tone, smoothes, hydrates, enhances, protects with SPF 30, 0% oils and heavy ingredients

My thoughts: So I know this is only a BB cream, and it's not supposed to give you the same coverage as a foundation. BUT…when I pour out a BB cream or tinted moisturizer I don't expect to see separated ingredients and what looks like straight oil. I promise it shook the bottle super good before I used it, but I was definitely disappointed in the consistency! The first time I used it I felt so greasy and there was absolutely no coverage, so I had to wipe it off and start my makeup over. The only way I've been able to use it has been mixing it with a thicker foundation to just make a more light-weight foundation. Thankfully this was an inexpensive product because I was definitely disappointed. :(

Toss it or Try it??: TOSS IT!! I would not recommend this if you're looking for a good BB cream. If you're looking for a recommendation, I like the Smashbox Camera Ready BB cream.

I hope you all have a great week! Let me know what you guys want to hear about next!


XOXO,

Meredith
