For several years now my grandmother has subscribed to Seventeen magazine for my sister & I to enjoy. I rarely notice the cosmetic samples but for whatever reason, this New Dream Fresh BB cream by Maybelline caught me eye in the latest issue. I took it out of the magazine and put it on my bathroom counter. Tuesday morning I used it for the first time. WOW! I love the softness it adds to my skin. It made my skin look like a baby's, no joke. I used it as a "base" then applied a little blush (Mary Kay) then powder (Mary Kay) over the cream and blush. Side note: for whatever reason, I like the look of powder over blush... I think blush over powder is a more dramatic look than I would like.. anyways, cream.. love it!
This picture does not do a justice, but it does show the clearness of my face after the cream had been applied for around 12 hours!
The shade I received was Light/Medium Sheer Tint... and it was perfect. It gave just enough coverage to even my skin tone, without looking like I had "caked" foundation on. This cream is available in 5 skin tones.
When I applied the BB cream I just squirted pea size amounts into my palm, then blended it onto my face one "section" at a time- left cheek, right cheek, nose, chin, forehead/ temples, using my fingers.
BB creams combine skincare + makeup in 1 simple step 8-in-1 Skin Perfector because it blurs imperfections, brightens & evens skin tone, smoothes, hydrates, & enhances, as well as protecting your skin with SPF 30. BB cream has 0% oils and heavy ingredients. Have you ever tried this product? Or a similar one from a different manufacture? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Happy Thursday, readers! Today I am doing a vlog to talk about my "current crush"! Today it is a Pretika facial- cleansing brush and the facial washes I used with it! I got my little gadget about a month ago at a Marshall's for $29.99... SCORE! Sure it isn't pretty and pink like a Clarisonic Mia 2, but for $120 dollars less... it is freakin' adorable!
This video explains everything about my new little gadget, the Pretika Sonic Dermabrassion that I purchased instead of a Clarisonic Mia! I got it at Marshall's for $29.99 and they had many others to choose from! Hope you enjoy this review!
Comes with a counter top stand, charger, and two remove-able crushes!
For cleaning this brush after I wash my face, I turn the brush on high, then lightly press against a bar of Dove soap. I let the brush spin on the surface of my hand, and once the water is no longer soapy, I hold the brush (still on) to a dry hand towel for 5-10 seconds. This cleaning method was recommended in the booklet and works great!
Mary Kay Velocity facial cleanser and lightweight moisturizer
Clean and Clear morning burst!
My Pretika facial brush has a plug to go in the charging hole, so it is waterproof! I use mine in the shower once a day- Clean and Clear if it is a morning shower, Velocity any other time! The steam of the hot water really aids the cleansers!!
I hope you found this video helpful, and I have convinced you to do your wallet a favor and search a local Marshall's/ TJ Maxx for a similar product! Like I mentioned, I absolutely love this product- quality, weight, functioning, everything! You can purchase the Clean and Clear morning burst anywhere, the Mary Kay Velocity might be harder to get unless you know a consultant personally. I love using Dove bar soap on my face as well so that is another option! Good luck achieving beautiful skin!!
