Maybelline dream fresh bb cream light/medium sheer tint review

Here i'll be reviewing a BB cream that's really light weight and it's great for the upcoming spring and summer~ 

This was my first BB cream that I bought and I was actually surprised at how good it was. It's also very cheap and affordable because I bought this a while back... I can't give you the exact price. I usually forget prices i'm very sorry about that... I shall jot down prices of whatever I buy from now since (or keep receipts because it's a bad habit of mine to throw them away and I end up not returning things that I need to)  I'm quite seri-ous about my blog and youtube. Anyways enough of that, the price should be under ten bucks at Walmart or your local drugstore (I live in Quebec, Canada at the moment) and I think around eight dollars...?

Okay moving on with the actual review now~~~ 
Here is what the tube looks like.
This is what the back looks like.
It has this sticker flap that you see very often with american/western products now. The asian cosmetics and stuff I own don't have flaps as they come in boxes and actual packaging. (Or it could just be that I only bought the ones that don't have flaps).
 Here it just says directions and warnings.
If you're interested in the ingredients...(sorry it's blurry I only have my iphone)
Like most American/Western BB creams it has a screw cap. This doesn't bother me even if i'm a pump person because it's a squeeze tube (tiny hole/head)  and not a glass bottle or jar that has a big ....mouth...? (What's the word i'm looking for...) This is still pretty hygienic if you clean it or just not get it dirty often. 
The shade I got was in light medium. (My face is darker than my hands and while I was a newb at make up I bought a (crappy) foundation that was the same shade as my hand and my face was just freaking pale and white...hello Seri the ghost~
So I'll apply the BB cream for you to show you the coverage as I have acne prone skin...all covered in blemishes and scars it'll be easier to see an tell the effectiveness. Here is my bare face...I apologize if you're looking forward to some hot ass korean (jk jk). 
So I smeared this all over my face and will blend it out. (I should smile more)
This is what it looks like with one layer. Again i'd like to say this is a BB cream for coverage purposes so don't expect to have a lot of it. I like it for everyday use and a little spf. During the winter I stilluse  this...why? Because this is quite hydrating and for winter I use less spf (although spf 30 is pretty good) and barely touch my sunscreen/sun essence so I just whip this out and boom that's me out the door. As you can see it does even out my skin tone....it would be perfect if I didn't have blemishes but I'm not that fortunate xD!
If you do want to build it up for whatever occasion or reason, you can. This is kind of buildable but i'd probably say borderline three layers? This picture is me with two layers. Lots of redness gone and it covered a lot more....stuff.
 
Alright so this is something I can use everyday without feeling i'm weighing my skin down...although of course it's best to not wear anything at all so that your skin breathes~ which I do as well. I go out the door without make up a lot. I'm not that ashamed of my acne (now) but I would appreciate it if I didn't have any at all...maybe i'm being greedy?

So I realized this post actually gets off topic a lot. Let us just jump right into the ratings.

Packaging rating: 3/5 It's not interesting but it's not something that I find hideous either...it's just ordinary. You know, it's just something you'd see at a drugstore...which it is (lol).

Price rating: 5/5 I really feel that this BB cream is definitely worth every penny and it really is inexpensive. So if you're look for a light weight bb cream for everyday use  that can even out your skin tone and provide   a bit of sun protection, this is definitely a "go to" Item.  :)

Product performance: 5/5 It does pretty much what it says on the description (back of product). Mmm but it you have really oily skin I do want to mention that this doesn't control your oil levels. You can use some powder if you wish. I use translucent powder under my eyes and on my nose area sometimes...but something about light weight bb creams that make me leave it at that.

Overall rating:  4.3

That's all for this post! Thank you for reading this post~ I hope this was informative or interesting in any way and I'll seri-ously see you guys later~ Bai!
