MY 2 CENTS
We all know how I loathe the Garnier BB Cream, right!? Well… Olay Fresh Effects “BB Cream”/Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer (side note: how can it be BOTH!?) comes to a close second in the loathing department.

Olay Fresh Effects Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer (let’s face it: this is NOT a BB Cream) is completely sheer. Granted, it evens out the skin but provides zero coverage.

light/medium

blended – light/medium

It absorbs into the skin pretty good, and is moisturizing, but it never actually dries so my face feels pretty moist all day. Unless I set it with a powder, no makeup that I layer on top of it will last – I’m talking 4 hours or less. But what if I don’t want a powder finish? (read: I don’t want a powder finish)

I tried Olay Fresh Effects “BB Cream” with the hopes of it actually being a BB Cream. I think that’s why I was so disappointed in it. The one thing I do like is the scent – it smells like candy! Yum!

In short, Olay needs to drop BB Cream from this name and call it like it is – a tinted moisturizer. It’s not fair to market both!
Ladies, if you wear little-to-no makeup, I think that Olay Fresh Effects Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer is a good fit for you but if you dislike fragrance or need more coverage, you’ll need to skip right over this one.

Have you tried this? I want to know if you love or hate it! Leave a comment below :)
