Hot or Not Drugstore/Pharmacy BB Creams


I am a big fan of BB creams. They're so much lighter and natural than foundations for the days when you don't have too many spots or blemishes. In this post I will be telling you about 2(well,three) bb creams you can get in any pharmacy/drugstore. Enjoy!
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

This was my first ever BB cream and I am glad to have started off with such a good product. It was,as it says in the name,so fresh on my skin. Sorry I have no swatches but it's late at night and have no decent lighting! Sorry! I am in the colour light which luckily matched my skin perfect. There isn't a great colour range,only light,medium and dark which was disappointing. This BB cream has light coverage and would be suitable for dry skin, I have combination/oily skin so I did find my space powdering all over my face very heavily,especially in my t-zone but Maybelline have another solution.

                                         Maybelline Dream Pure BB For Oily Skin

So this is a solution for those with oily skin looking for something lighter than foundation for every day use. Containing 2% Salicylic acid this helps to fight away any spots or blemishes on your skin. I would recommend this for mega oily skin as it was in no way matte and didn't really have any lasting power on oily spots of your face. I found I needed to powder in my t-zone just to ensure it lasted all day. I didn't see a major difference in this one to the original but it still was a great product.

                                                  Rimmel BB Cream

I picked up this BB cream one day when I saw it on special offer in boots (I think..) and I decided to give it ago.Again,not a great colour range with only 3 shades available. As soon as I tried this BB cream I disliked it. It was thick,heavy and cakey on my skin and formed lumps when I tried to blend it in. I was really disappointed because I love the Wake Me Up foundation which was surprisingly so much lighter. I didn't like this BB cream in any shape or form and definitely will not be repurchasing it.

So there a some BB creams you can find in your local pharmacy. What BB creams do you like and recommend? Hope you enjoyed and don't forget to follow me on bloglovin'
