Review: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

I have wanted to dry a bb cream since i first heard all of the hype about them back in the summer. At the moment i am trying to improve my skin so i thought a bb cream would be better for it than foundation. I picked this one up by maybelline a few weeks ago when there was an offer on all maybelline products. 

I got it in light and it matched my skin tone quite well. It blends into my skin really easily and it doesn't look cakey which foundation sometimes does. This product does give me a really nice glow and makes my skin look nice and healthy. Not only this, but it also made my skin feel really nourished.It claims to 'blur imperfections' but i disagree with this as it gave me very little coverage. I also use powder after applying it as i get very shiny skin. 

Overall, i think this product is perfect for people who already have good skin but just need to brighten it up a  bit. However it isn't really right for me as i need more coverage than this bb cream can give me.

Have you tried this bb cream? What do you think of it?

Products i've used up

Almond hand & nail cream: I'm not sure about this hand cream. I really like the consistency as not too thick which makes it easy to distribute and soaks into your skin quickly. It also leaves them feeling really soft. However I disliked the almond smell and it was very of putting.

Superdrug dry shampoo: This was the first dry shampoo i have tried and it was a bit different than i expected. I assumed it would make it less greasy but it didn't really make much different, however it is great for if you just want to freshen up your hair. I really like the fragrance of this one and it comes out clear so you can't see it. The smell stays in for a few hours and it helps to add volume.

Garnier summer body: This was the also the first gradual moisturiser self tanner i had ever tried, and i was very impressed with it.  It smells really yummy and not only is it great for tanning, it is also very moisturising.

V05 heat protect: I have tried lots of different hair protectant products and this is probably one of my favorites  It has a really nice fragrance and it always left my hair soft, shiny and removed most of the flyaways. It seemed to minimize damage from straightening my hair as i now don't have as many slip ends and it doesn't seem as dry.

Simple light moisturiser: I have been using this moisturizer for so long now and it has finally run out.  One of my favorite things about it is that it has no scent at all which is great if you have sensitive skin, it also doesn't contain mineral oil so it is good if you are looking for an oil free product. The moisturizer absorbs almost instantly leaving your face feeling soft without being oily. I would defiantly recommend it!

Christmas presents for under £10

Why go out and spend all your money of expensive christmas presents when you can get equally as nice ones for under £10? I have found 5 of the best gifts for under £10 (in my opinion). They would all be perfect for a present for your friend!

1. Hot chocolate set- £8
Like most other people, i love nothing more than to sit with a big mug of hot chocolate in the winter. And i think this set is so cute! It comes with with hot chocolate powder, mini mallows and a wooden spoon.

2. Sweet christmas- £6.96
You can't really go wrong with a set from lush. This one includes 'rock star soap' and 'candy mountain bubble bar' which are two of my favorites. The box is really cute too!

3. Colour unlimited nail effects- £9.99
This is great for anyone who enjoys painting their nails. Unlike other sets, this one has different types of nail varnish  (2 standard, 2 glitter, and 2 magetic).

4. Snowflake print slippers- £8
These slippers look so cosy, and they are a great price. I especially love the design as they look very 'wintery'. I might just have to go and buy some for myself!

5.Soap and glory sationalism gift set- £8.50
I absolutely adore the soap and glory sprays. These ones are slightly smaller than the full sized ones, but this means you can try them all out. It's also a really good price.

5. Scrape away the bits on the edge and even it

Monthly favourite: Geek t shirt

I have seen so many people wearing this geek tee from topshop, but I understand why. I am absolutely in love with over sized t shirts at the moment. You can wear it with so much, i think it looks great tucked into high waisted shorts! Like I said, I'm a sucker for over sized t shirts, however this one it a it too big and the smallest size is a small/ medium which is VERY over sized for me. However,  I still like it because I can wear it tucked in, but if I wear it over jeans it doesn't look quite right. It is also available in navy blue (however I think both are sold out). Overall it is probably one of my favorite t shirts.

November wish list

1) Black Leather Look Skater Skirt: I usually wear shorts of jeans but recently i have been trying to try some different things. I have brought a lot of skirts and i love leather skirts as they go with so much and you can dress then up or down! This one from new look is also very affordable compared with other ones.
(buy here)  (New look £19.99)

2) Casual Stripe Skirt: At the moment i am a little obsessed with shirts, I wear them all the time tucked into shorts or under a jumper. There was another shirt in topshop last week which I wanted to buy, but when i checked again today i couldn't find it. However, i found this one which is very similar.
(buy here) (Topshop £29)

 3) Knitted Textured Grudge Jumper: If i could get away with wearing jumpers all year round, i would. They are just so cosy! I especially love the colour of this jumper as it suits all skin tones and is great for autumn. It would look great with a shirt underneath!
(buy here) (Topshop £36)

 4) Black Skinny Jeans: Jeans are a staple in every wardrobe and I especially love dark jeans for in the winter. They go with just about anything! I already have so many pairs of jeans but i am yet to purchase any this colour.
(buy here) (New Look £19.59)

 5) Grey Flatfrom Shoes: In general i don't really like flatforms, and I don't know what it is about these ones that I really like! They aren't very "me" but I am all for trying something new.
(buy here) (River Island £28.00)

(I just realized this that the skirt is in the inspire range which is plus sizes)

What's on your wish list this month?
