Maybelline BB Cream - I love it!

If you haven't tried BB or Beauty Balm Cream yet, you need to! I was skeptical at first, how can a cream be 8 products in 1 tube? Somehow they have done it and I absolutely love this product!

I bought the Maybelline BB Cream to test out first because I have had great luck with Maybelline in the past. I use their pressed powder and it is one of the only ones that doesn't clog my pores. I have very sensitive skin, and after almost a week of using the BB Cream, my skin is still virtually flawless!

One of the best features is that it has an SPF 30 rating and I put that to the test this weekend! I have extremely pale skin, and I spent about 6 hours out in the sun on both saturday and sunday and I did not get burned!

I opted for a shade darker than my natural skin tone, just to be sure that I  didn't end up slathering cream all over my face that would make me look lighter than I already am.

It also isn't as greasy as other moisturizers, which is great because I get really shiny in my T zone and I have to apply pressed powder before I leave in the morning because of the shine from the moisturizer.

All in all I think it is a fantastic product! The only disappointment I have is the price difference between the US and Canada. When I was in the states last month I saw it for something like $7.49 at Target and here in Canada it was on sale for $9.99 but I think it was originally $12.99. I should have bought it at Target!

If you are hesitant about trying it, don't be, it's worth it! I really like this cream, it's light, protects your skin, isn't oily and provides a nice even tint, you won't be disappointed!  



My favourite Maybelline Products!

Here are a few of my favourite makeup products from Maybelline. Sometimes when you take a chance you can find a really great product!

Baby Lips by Maybelline is a line of lip balms that comes in a variety of shades and also a clear balm like this one. I first bought the "Pink Punch" shade below and wanted something clear and I found this one at Shoppers Drug Mart! It's perfect for summer because it is an SPF20 balm!

This is the first one I bought, Pink Punch and it has a great tint of colour and is a nourishing balm that I really love!

I have tried more mascaras than I can count. Even more than I have ever heard from because I receive some as gifts and my go-to mascara is still Colossal Volum' by Maybelline.

It was a friend of mine that intially recommended the Colossal mascara to me. I had never tried it but she spoke highly of it. I had always used Dior show and wondered if there was a mascara that worked really well to plump up my lashes that didn't cost the equivalent of half a tank of gas - and low and behold she was right!

I use it as a base coat and then a variety of different mascaras as a top coat depending on the day. I have tried many other Maybelline mascaras and this is by far the best for me.
