Review on Nivea BB Cream

I have recently purchased Nivea BB cream as I have never owned a BB cream before so I thought I would give it a go. 

My first reaction to this product had mixed reactions.

Dislikes

• Firstly, the cream itself is very thick and sort of gloopy and the colour I got was 'light' as I have very pale skin. I expected the cream to be lighter than it actually is.Once I applied it to my face I suddenly became very dark and after I had applied it to the rest of my face I noticed I had very noticeable foundation lines which i was not impressed by. This meant I had to apply more of the cream to my neck to blend it in better with my skin colour. 

• My second thought was that even though the cream says it evens the skin, for it didn't. I applied it with just my fingers and after a while I was trying to even the cream out around my face and I suddenly saw streaks on the side of my face where the cream had actually started to kind of peel off. 

• The third critic on this is that the product describes that the cream provides a matte effect but I disagree as it made my face looking shiny and oily.I then had to lightly cover my face with powder to make it look more matte effective.  

Likes

• The thing I do like about this product is the bottle. When squeezing the bottle to get the cream out, there is only a very small hole so a large amount is not able to accidentally be taken from the bottle and then wasted!
• Another thing I like is that my face does feel moisturized and free of dryness which I do suffer from in specific areas of my face.
• Also the colour isn't orangey it's more of a bronze colour which you don't find in many foundation type products.

I will continue to use this product but I don't think I will purchase it a second time.
