I am seriously loving Maybelline's new "Dream Smooth Mousse" #120. Weightless with light to medium coverage; perfect for those that use foundation for T-zone or to even out redness or skintone. For the price it can't be beat! Anyone have suggestons on this kind of steal?

I actually came upon my current fav "steal" recently, completely by accident and I am more than willing to share! LOL I saw a deal at a store (25% off) and also had a coupon ($5.00 off) for the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream (which is really just a tinted moisturizer and the package even calls it that as well as a BB cream, don't ask). I got it for such a great price I figured I'd give it a go and really didn't expect very much. I was pleasantly surprised. Now, what is a great product for one person may not be a great one for someone else. But that being said, if anyone wants a truly moisturizing, but not greasy, lightweight, sheer to light coverage product with SPF for the Spring/Summer, this one is a really good one to try. It seems geared more for a younger skin type but that is deceptive for how it works. I am 45 yrs old and have pretty good skin and most folks guess me to be in my early to mid 30"s (that's a combo of good genetics and using good skincare all my life) and my skin is combination, sensitive and will also breakout with acne from time to time. This product gives me a sheer wash of coverage that moisturizes well, evens my skin tone (and doesn't change to a weird shade), doesn't break me out and doesn't irritate my skin. Also, I am pale as paper and the lightest shade, called Fair to Light, was actually light enough for me (which is a crap shoot for me with BB creams and tinted moisturizers). I would even guess that its moisturizing enough for me to wear without an additional moisturizer come the summer. Bonus!

Thanks for sharing. Love most of Olay products and we seem to share the same skin properties: genetics, skincare and a paleness that often prompts people to ask if I'm feeling o.k.! Will give it a shot. In the past I've also used Neutrogena 3 in 1. Just the perfect coverage and in fair to light a great match.
YES! I agree with you Ms. Megan! Maybelline's "Dream Smooth Mousse" is a very good foundation that is good to use on the T-Zone area of your face. Even though I have sensitive-acne prone oily skin, but this foundation is good to purchase for a bargain price. I also agree with how the foundation gives your face a light-weight feel than the traditional foundation. I purchased this in #310 and I will take my Maybelline's FIT ME Shine Free Stick Foundation in "COCONUT" and apply it on my face for blending or conturing to get that natural velvet-matte finish and I am good to go. This is a good affordable price for this foundation and it doesn't take much. A little goes a long way.
