Review: Maybelline New York BB Cream - Shade 01-Nude, 03-Natural

By

With the rage BB creams have created all around the makeup world, and after having a great experience with one BB cream from Vedicline+ that I reviewed HERE, I  was definitely tempted to try more. Maybelline BB Creams have already been quite popular in India, and I was quite excited to give them a try. I got the shade 01- Nude and 03-Natural. Check out more details and complete review below:

Maybelline BB cream or Bright Benefit Cream is an 8-in-1 benefit skin cream meant for all skin types.

Spread it all over your face with short, quick strokes.

Finallly, you could also apply a little Kajal and Lip Balm for a great natural look.

Price for the quantity: INR 199 for 18 ml

My experience with this cream:

The BB cream comes in a nice handy tube packaging with screw open lid. I like the consistency of the cream, which is neither too thick, nor too runny. It is easy to apply and blend on the face using my fingers, and even my foundation brush. The cream gives a soft natural finish to my oily-combination skin, which isn't exacly matte but kind of dewy. I like the way it gives my face a polished look without making it cakey at all. The shade "Natural" is something that blends into my skin quite well, whereas Nude is a bit darker on my skintone. The coverage that I've got from this BB cream is around medium. I still need to use concealer on any blemishes that I have. The cream is indeed moisturizing and keeps my face shine free for around 4-5 hours after which I need to do touch ups. I like the fact that it has SPF 21.

So on that note, let us check some of the likes and dislikes below:

Likes:

1) Very light weight cream that blends well into the skin to give a nice polished and flawless finish.

2) I like the way it gives a smooth coverage on my face, without looking cakey or patchy at all.

3) It gives a semi-matte-kinda-dewy finish to my face which looks natural.

4) It does make my face bright and glowy.

5) I like the way it controls shine on my face for 4-5 hours.

6) Contains SPF 21

Dislikes:

1) I couldn't agree to the claim that it resists sweat and sebum for 5 hours, coz my sweat overpowered it in minutes in current hot and humid climatic conditions.

2) The coverage is medium and you still will need your concealer, to cover any blemishes, though it covers redness around my nose well.

3) The claim that it moisturizes the skin for 8 hours is a bit of exaggeration. I feel it works great for around 4-5 hours on my oily-combination skin, after which I need to do touch ups.

4) I couldn’t understand the way shades have been named and ranged. Even though shade “Natural” is lighter than shade “Nude”, Natural is given number”03” and nude is given number “01”. I always thought the ranging was done from lightest to darkest shade!

Overall:

I find it a decent BB cream at a great price. If you don't have too many blemishes or skin issues showing on your face, this can be a good buy for everyday wear. I've been using it daily since past 2-3 weeks (Mixing shade Natural and nude to get my perfect shade!) and I have quite liked it so far. Would love to buy it again.

Rating: 3.75/5 (B+) Check out more pics and swatches of both ""01- Nude" and 03- Natural" shade below:





Below is how it looks on me. I've mixed both Nude and Natural shade to create my perfect match. I'll consider "Natural" next time I buy this BB cream.

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

By
Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away. The second thing I bought sometime back was this Neutrogena Moistureshine LipGloss , which apparently happens to be my first tinted lipgloss too, as before this I was used to only lipsticks or lip balms.It took me a while to get used to the concept of glosses.

Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts - Review

By
Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts  The best way to spend four hours of waiting period in Dubai transit is to do shopping. In all the shopping I did there, I bought this particular lotion as well. The main reasons behind buying this lotion were: 1) I wanted to try Olay as a brand as I’d heard a lot of good stories about it. 2) I wanted a light moisturizing face lotion that has SPF, UVA/UVB protection and could be worn easily below my foundation for day wear.
