This BB cream BB the best!
-05.13.13
I got this BB cream as a free sample and gave it a try! I loved it! I didn't even need makeup with it! I have oily skin so I just put some translucent powder over to control shine. It made me look glowy and made my complexion warmer. As soon as I used up the sample, I bought full size and it was worth every penny! Only downside is that it only comes in 1 shade.

Amazing!!!
-05.10.13
This is the best bb cream I ever tried. I went to my nearest
sephora looking for a good bb cream, I asked the sales person for a sample of two different bb creams and tried the dior the next day and omg I couldnt stay away from the mirror! My face had a nice glow and I didn't even have to wear bronzer! I am going back to purchase the full size!Yes the price is a bit high but so worth it. Btw I have fair skin and the shade was just fine.

Definitely try out in store first
-05.09.13
This product is AMAZING IF the "universal" color matches you. It happens to match my skin tone quite perfectly but it is definitely not a universal shade (way too dark and orange on my mom - we are both full Asian, but she is much fairer than I am).
For me, the color blends flawlessly into my warm skin tone and provides amazing coverage - as good as a light to medium coverage foundation and better than a tinted moisturizer (I used to use Laura Mercier in Sand). It's odd how just one small layer really smooths and reduces the appearance of imperfections. The finish is very natural and looks like you're not wearing any makeup. Since purchasing this, I've pretty much cut foundation out of my routine and can get away with just this bb creme plus some concealer.
It also makes my skin feel super soft. The hydrating effect wears off shortly after the initial application, but my skin never feels tight, powdery, or greasy afterwards - just a nice "velvety" softness. On its own, the staying power is OK - better than a tinted moisturizer but not as good as a heavy duty, full coverage foundation. If I want better staying power, I'll set this with my MUFE HD and then my makeup lasts all day (although this of course takes away from the natural finish).
I tried this bb creme on a whim one day, but it has ended up becoming my Holy Grail. It's a great product if you have normal skin and want some coverage without piling on makeup.

Quick Take: hydrating, coverage, smooth
This bb creme is by far amazing. I consider myself to have a good complexion, however, I was previously using foundation and powder. With this bb creme I ditched my foundation and only use my powder when I'm going out for a night on the town and want a matte finish. I tend to have a lot of redness in my complexion but Hydra Life gives me a flawless coverage and non-oily finish. Additionally, it is light and sheer and feels like you're practically wearing nothing...did I mention the smell is to die for? i'm never switching to anything else because it is beyond my expectations of what a bb creme should be AND it has an SPF of 30 nonetheless. Win? I think yes!

awesome !!
-05.06.13
I got a sample of this from the beauty insider reward points and ever since then i fell in love. I put in on my face like just a dab and it covers everything and plus it has spf 30 which is great in my book. :) i would recommend it to people with combo skin because it makes you less oily too !!!

WOW. JUST WOW.

This BB Creme is amazing. Lightweight, sheer, with just enough color to perk up even the most exhausted of complexions. I love the way my skin looks after applying it. No foundation needed. Would definitely recommend this!

Quick Take: flawless
To not need anything but this BB at the age of 57 is ridiculous! (And I have rosacea - go figure.) This Dior BB trumps the others in their line where you have to match to your skin. It's not yellow and it just works. Coverage is remarkable and the spf 30 is a bonus. I was bummed that my Sephora was out of the eye cream.

Can you say PERFECT?
-05.02.13
Matches my skin perfecting. This is my everyday face cover make up. Hides me hyper pigmentation and makes my skin look flawless. Gives you a nice glow too but it's oily. I found my match. ❤

The best I have tried
-04.29.13
Quick Take: great coverage, easy to apply
This BB cream is wonderful BUT not meant for everyone. I have tried quite a few BB creams and this one works the best for me. The color is a bit dark for those with fair to medium skin tones; it also is not for those with skin that tends toward oily. For my "normal" skin it works perfectly especially when I mix it with a little Stila BB cream. The Stila is my second favorite and that color is a little light for me so the 2 together are PERFECT.

Too orange!! Got this returned!
-04.28.13
I need a BB cream which contains high SPF and PA, but unfortunately this one is absolutely the very wrong color! The point is the website do not indicate that this one is extreme orange one! Really like a burnt face!

AMAZING PRODUCT--EVERY WOMAN NEEDS THIS
-04.26.13
this is an amazing BB cream. I've tried several. This goes on flawlessly. It is smooth to the touch and very hydrating. The color is great. I received a sample of this product and I had a hard time spending the $, but once I figured out the the price per ounce is comparable to the other popular BB cremes, I was sold because this product is the best!

best BB
-04.25.13
I tried many bb cremes but they were all the wrong shade- this one blends in well and is very natural. it doesnt cover everything like a foundation but for everyday use it provides a very natural and smooth look. now that its getting warmer, i will need to put a powder over this because it is a bit oily.

Must Have!!!
-04.23.13
Quick Take: everything and more!, a must have
I absolutely love this product. I use Dior for the majority of my makeup, mascara, lipsticks, ect... So it was no surprise that I would also fall in love with this bb creme.. I've never used liquid foundation (not fond of it) but if liquid foundation works to cover imperfections like this bb creme does, then ill be the first in line to buy some. I like that this creme is so natural and smooth. I apply it after my moisturizer every morning around my eyes, and nose area then I use my bareminerals foundation powder over my face. It works as a foundation/consealer and sun screen! Bought one for me and my sister. And now I'll buy one for my mother. And the universal color is awesome. I'm Hispanic, but I do wish it was lighter, I come from a light complexion family. But it works well enough! Must have this!!

Good - not life changing
-04.22.13
I was really excited to try this on my quest for the perfect BB cream. I bit the bullet and shelled out the extra $$, I like it, but it is a little dark for my skin tone (I have light-olive skin). It's a good solid BB cream, but I will probably try something else next.

Very nicely scented. Gives good coverage and worked well for my complexion even though it might not match for other people. Wasn't too thick or pasty like the other bb creams I sampled. The Korean bb creams were too chalky on my skin.

Review 19 for Hydra Life BB Crème SPF 30-PA+++
Love this cream
-04.22.13
I love this Dior BB Cream. It looks great on and makes my skin feel so good. I do understand why some people complain because the idea that one shade works for all people is just not right. It works for me because Ii am fair, but I could see how someone with darker skintones would not like this. It really does hydrate and I love the way it looks and feels on my skin. I sometimes add a drop of foundation just to darken the shade.

Still on the fence
-04.22.13
BB cremes are not my fav, or at least I haven't found one that could be called that. Dior's is ok with me, but I'm a tad self-conscious when I'm wearing it due to the color. Others have mentioned that it's orange, but to me it's a strong yellow on my very pink skin. The yellow seems to help hide some of my redness, though. However, I'm always leery if I have it truly blended in to where others can't see it. It's also drying on my skin when worn alone, so I mix it with a moisturizer and then blend. For what should be a simple task, it takes me longer to put it on than some other products.
