Wet n Wild Fergie BB Cream SPF 15 / shade A104 Medium/Deep

*Disclaimer - Product shown was purchased by passengerelement blog. I am in no way affiliated with this company or am being paid for my review*

Today's product comes from Wet n Wild...

WnW Fergie BB Cream in Medium/Deep

From the WnW Fergie Collection comes the Fergie 8-1 Beauty Balm in the shade Medium/Deep.  I purchased this at Wal-Mart for around $5.50 USD.  Inside the squeeze tube, you receive 1 fl. oz/30ml of liquid product.  This comes in at least 5 shades last I purchased this.

WnW Fergie BB Cream - packaging

Wet n Wild Fergie 8-1 BB Cream

Fergie's 8-1 Beauty Balm is considered an "8-1" because it supposed to be a primer, concealer, foundation, etc.  The squeeze tube you see on top is clean, easy to use and decent at controlling the amount of foundation you need.

WnW Fergie 8-1 BB / no flash, overcast light
Above : Swatch in natural light, overcast, no flash.  The BB itself is liquid, but viscous enough that it does not run quickly.  Underneath is the BB blended...thankfully, this "beauty balm" did fantastic at blending into my skin and to my coloring.

WnW Fergie BB - flash
Above: Swatch in natural light with flash.  I did not find that this flashed back on my hand, and when taking random pictures with this on my face, did not see any white casts.

There are a few things I like and dislike:

Like: Color matched me nicely, though with only 5 shades, I do not know if all will be this lucky
Was a dream to blend and layer.
Very hydrating, perfection during this harsh winter we are having.

Dislike: Only comes in a limited range
Wear is heavenly for about an hour, after that, on my combo/oily skin, I am an oil slick
Very heavily scented ( I love scented products and am not allergic to scents in makeup/skincare, but this is over the top!)
Coverage is lovely...if you have PERFECT skin...coverage is light, even with multiple layers.

Favorites: Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams in #2, 8, 13, 15 - swatches

*Disclaimer - Product shown was purchased by passengerelement blog.  I am in no way affiliated with this company or am being paid for my review*
MUFE Aqua Creme - Outdoor / No Flash / Overcast

Today I have a lovely swatch of the Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams I own and love!  From left to right we have #8 ( a metallic, rusty, slightly tomato-y red ), #15 ( a bronze with a chocolate base ), #13 ( super metallic and shimmery champagne with a hint of peach ) and # 2 ( taupey goodness with a pewter finish )

These pots of awesome were purchased at Sephora, but you can also purchase them through the MUFE site as well.  $23.00 USD will get you 0.21oz/6g of product!

All of the aqua creams have amazing lasting power.  I have only experienced creasing under very hot temperatures and humidity.

These colors have a an extremely short "play time".  You will have great results when you work fast.  It took me some time to get it right, but once you do, its heaven :).  

Out of all of the shades above, I use #8 as a cheek color as well.  Not all of the brights in this range are as crazily pigmented as this red, but they are all still worth checking out.  The range has good to amazing pigmentation which is nice for a quick wash of the cream on the face.  I have found that when I layer the cream, it can get grabby in certain areas and will look chunky.  Layer this thinly and quickly and you are set.
I have used them together but prefer not too as when they set, if you did not previously blend any harsh lines out, you tend to get "stuck" with them.  Quick blending is the key to these amazing creams.
