Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream.

I am so late to the party on BB creams.  Heck, I can't even figure out how to use tinted moisturizer correctly!  So when the whole BB cream world exploded, I hear we are now onto CC creams and DD creams and heck, even Philosophy has an "A to Z' cream (the hell?!)

So it was kinda a 'oh no..' moment when I opened up my #SunVoxBox from Influenster and found the Olay Fresh Effects BB cream.  Sure the box is pretty, and you get a ton of product in it (2.2 FL OZs!) but I was clueless on how to use it.

Like I said, I am totally late to the party with BB creams, and had many rookie questions on how to use this properly.  And it clearly states on the tube BB Cream skin perfecting TINTED MOISTURIZER (so not a true BB cream?!)

So after watching videos on how to apply it, it looked easy enough, just kinda slap some on and blend it out, and learning the most important thing, which is not to use an additional moisturizer under it. DUH! I tried it.

I received the Light to Medium color.  It went on sheer and was easy to blend, it didn't irritate my eyes with the broad spectrum spf 15, and didn't slide around on my face and stayed put.  I do wish it had a higher SPF, but for a quick everyday look.  15 is better than nothing!  On a very hot and muggy day, I did notice I did get a wee bit shiny, but nothing close to grease face.  Just a wee bit of powder fixed it.

Overall, is this a miracle product? No. But for a person just starting out into the BB realm, it is a good product. User error on this is very low.   If you are used to tinted moisturizers, this should be an easy product for you.  When this is added to my empties would I purchase? I thin I will. 

I received this product for testing purposes from Infuenster.
