I'm not a fan of the Western BB Creams but recently, I've been seeing a lot of love being shown for the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB so I decided to pick it up. Maybelline had a 3 for 2 offer on as well so I decided it was about time I delved into the world of their Color Tattoo 24 HR as I'd had my eyes on them for a while.
Like I mentioned, me and Western BB creams haven't gotten on very well. I love my Asian Skin79 BB cream so much as it provides beautiful coverage but so far, none of the Western ones have amazed me because they provide virtually no coverage. This one isn't any different. The coverage is very light but I find that it evens out my skin tone pretty well. It doesn't cover up spots or scarring but of course, concealer can do that. I've been wearing this every day for work mainly because I love how it applies. It applies almost like a gel and it feels very soothing on the skin when you're blending it in. I also find that it lasts all day on my skin (with a primer) and it doesn't get too oily or make my skin too dry. I don't love this but I do like it.
I've never tried any form of cream eyeshadows before so these were completely new to me. I swatched them in the shop and decided that these two colours were perfect to use as both bases for eyeshadows and to blend together to create a beautiful bronze eye. I love these even more than I thought I would. They blend really well and the colours provide the perfect level of pigment. I haven't worn them on my eyelids for a full day yet as I've been working at a place where I really don't need to wear make up (lol) but I am going to be wearing them to work on Sunday at Boots. I did swatch them on my hand to see how long they'd last as they lasted pretty much the full day at work which to me, was surprising! I love these and I need Maybelline to bring out more colours.
