I was
recently browsing the make-up shelves of Tesco (as you do) and came across the
Maybelline BB Cream. I've never really been drawn to BB cream because I like
coverage, and didn't really see the point; however, any of you that live in the
UK know that the last few weeks have been holiday hot, this has meant constant
re-powdering and my makeup had been feeling very heavy. So I thought why not
try it.
None of the
testers really matched my skin so I decided to go with Universal Glow. As you
can see from the picture below it is a very potent orange so I was a little
worried about trying this out, however it seemed to have a lot of benefits and
for the price…well you just can’t go wrong.
This BB
cream claims to offer 8 benefits in 1:
- Creates a natural glow
- Compliments skin-tone
- SPF30 UV protection
- Hydrates all day
- Blurs imperfections
- Oil free, non-greasy
- Looks visibly smooth
- Feels fresh
At first I thought,
this is never going to look good, it’s so orange. But the old saying was definitely
true; don’t judge a book by its cover. It applied really orange at first, but
once I started to blend in with my fingers (which took a bit of doing) I must
say I was rather impressed.
At first
glance I was still skeptical but the more I applied the better it looked. If you’re
having a bad day with your skin then I would avoid this as coverage isn't great,
but it doesn't claim to have great coverage, which I like.. Honestly is the
best policy ;)
In terms of
what it does claim, I think they've done a pretty good job. I wouldn't go as
far as saying it hydrates all day, but in terms of everything else its bang on.

One thing I would
like to add that I found a little bizarre however is this; after about an hour I
looked in the mirror and to my surprise it seemed to look a little better than
at first. I have noticed this every time I've used it. I've never experienced
this with a product before, and I’m not too sure if this is just me but I definitely
felt that it looked more flawless after a short while before gradually fading
during the day, like most products.
This is product
definitely something I would re-purchase, and would highly recommend to people
with clear skin who are just looking to even out their skin tone. For those
good skin days or when you’re having a lazy day and just want that slight glow
Have you
tried it?? What did you think?
