Maybelline Dream Fresh BB in Light

I bought this as I wanted something quicker than foundation to put on my face before work. I work loads running around a cafe/restaurant and bar/nightclub so I'm knackered most of the time. I like to sleep for as long as I can so this means being able to make my morning routine as quick as possible, Luckily I live less than 10 minutes away from work so I usually get up about 40 minutes before I have to leave the house. Most of the time I hit the snooze which gives me 30 minutes to have a cuppa tea, get dressed, put my make-up on and extensions in. When I write it down it sounds like ages, but in my sleepy state I never feel like it's long enough to do much properly. I like the fact that I can just put a dot of this on my finger tips and just rub it in to my face and I already look more awake than I feel. I don't have time in the morning, if I'm working, to do a whole wash, cleanse, moisturise, prime etc. etc.

Here is BB cream when first applied;



I have super light skin, it comes from the snow white/ english rose condition I inherited from my great grandmother. Super light skin, super dark hair. Which makes foundation super hard to find. When I first opened the BB cream I was worried it still wasn't light enough for my skin, but just using a little to cover my whole face, blends nicely. It pretty much does everything it says it does. Apart from "feels fresh" I think it just feels like putting a cream on my face for the first few second, like when you put anything wet on your face, it feels refreshing but it doesn't last. It might be because I occasionally whack on Clean&Clear: Morning Energy rather than BB cream and that feels far more fresher for longer than the BB cream.

Even after an eight hour shift of running around, being in and out of a super hot kitchen and around a coffee machine it still manages to stay put extremely well. It has obviously faded a little, but I still look awake and fresh after I've finished my shift. I would put a photo of after, but I haven't been to work today. It is my first day off in 12 days so I have decided to do very little.

I'm coming to the end of this tube at the moment and trying to decide whether to re-buy this one or try another BB cream. Has anyone got a BB cream they swear by?
