Mall Haul!

I went to the mall today. I got a cropped shirt, a dress, and a nice jacket for when it gets cold at work. My mom got me those three things. I bought a couple of things from Urban Decay. The lady gave me a makeover. I got a brow kit because after she enhanced my brows, I loved the way it looked. I also got the Naked Skin BB Cream. I got three samples.

Thanks for checking me out!

Don't forget to follow me!

Review: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

Here we go! Like I promised, here's the review for Maybelline Dream Cream BB Cream. I've been using this for a week and now I would like to share my thoughts about this product.

First, let's talk about the packaging. The product is in a plastic squeeze tube with an ombre of color to white. The part with the color has Maybelline Dream Fresh written in white and then BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector is written in pink on the white part. It's really cute and functional.  The cap screws off on the bottom. The amount of product in here is 1 FL. OZ.

Once the cap is removed, there's a small hole that allows the product to come out. It is kind of messy, as you can see.

The product looks dark when it first comes out. It's just a tinted moisturizer. Nothing special. I do use a primer underneath this even though you don't have to. It's just something that I use.

Once the product is rubbed on my hands, it does get lighter. Then I just rub the product on my face. It's so easy.

Lets see how this works.

Before:

After:

The redness is lessened and my dark circles are somewhat covered. It gives a beautiful color to my skin and I just love it. $8.00 is pretty pricey for this, so I don't think I'll repurchase this. I'll just use it up and then use my BareMinerals again.

First Impression: Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Cream

I bought this at Ulta for $8.00 and don't know what to think of it yet. It looks more like a tinted moisturizer than a BB Cream.

When I put it on, it feels like a sunscreen and is too dark, but when I blend it some more, it looks like this:

Still a tad light, but I can work with it. There will be a review next week on this.
