MAYBELLINE BB Super Cover Mineral Guard Filter [Review]

BB creams truly changed the make-up industry and overthrown the intensive use of liquid foundation. The combination of lightweight and natural-looking coverage is the best attributes that make this wonder makeup a favorite among women. I can personally attest to the greatness of BB cream, not only as a makeup product, but most importantly as a skincare product as well.

I’m a user of BB creams from popular Korean brands, but then because of their pocket-eating capabilities (expensive indeed), I intended to search for a drugstore BB cream that is as effective but more affordable. So here’s a review of the latest BB cream product of a leading makeup brand :)

The product is contained inside a thick plastic tube that is 4 ½ inches long and 1 ½ inches wide (at the middle), in metallic rose gold color. It has a twistable cap which secures the nozzle of the tube. The opening of the tube is very tiny that it only allows small amount of product per squeeze.

GOOD POINTS: If you haven’t found the perfect BB cream yet, I guess this product is the best thing start with. Given a limited budget yet a pretty high standard in makeup, this product is a great deal for us ladies! It has the perfect coverage (though it became heavier than the previous BB cream of Maybelline), the best scent (smells fairly nice) and the best value (30 ml for 399 php). It has one of the highest SPF for BB cream, perfect even without your usual face sunblock---resulting to less layers on your face. It also hides the blemishes perfectly, that allows me to use fewer swipes of my concealer. Lastly, it makes the face glowing, improves skin tone and remains intact all throughout the day.

LET'S TRY the product on my hand with two noticeable blemishes and enlarged pores...

I PLACED A SMALL amount of  BB cream in the middle...

AFTER SPREADING EVENLY, you will notice that the blemishes are barely there. The tone of the skin even improved.

NOT-SO-GOOD POINTS: I can’t say much because I pretty much love it. But one downside is that it’s a bit thicker and heavier compared to other BB creams. So if you have a lot of blemishes, you’ll tend to apply more, and for sure you’ll feel uncomfortable after several hours. And one more thing, yes you can bare your face in public but you won’t achieve the “naked” look with this, because it’s pretty noticeable ('coz it's thick). But oh well, at least you look flawless :)

OVERALL, it is indeed my favorite BB cream today! I’ve already used it for two months now, just to be able to look closely on its effect on my skin. I don’t want to blog about it after the first use (even if I’m dying to do it). I hope my review is enough to help you whether to buy it or not. But for me, it’s worth a try :)


That's all, hope you'll try this product and make sure to share your insights too! 'til next time!
