Garnier BB Cream - big thumbs up !

Normally, I am not a huge foundation user, I tend to think less is more in this area! I have 12 (I just counted) different foundations in my drawer, and all of them are still 99% full. I tend to try the latest thing out, no matter what the cost, hoping I get a natural yet adequate coverage, yet I always feel it accentuates the lines and I end up looking older. So, I was very happy to be picked for this latest trial, as I haven't yet tried the Garnier BB cream - or any BB creams for that matter!

My skin is normal, but I opted for the sensitive one as I do get redness when hot or stressed, and I find sensitive products much kinder.

I have two words to sum up this foundation. EXTREMELY IMPRESSED!!

I chose the Light shade (I'm normally a beige in most foundations), and honestly, it just glided onto my skin and almost disappeared, but still left a lovely subtle coverage that actually evened out my skin tone, just as they said it would. There was no streaks, no powdery residue, and no accentuation of my lines/wrinkles, which seems to be my biggest frustration with other foundations.

It was easy to apply (I used a sponge) and it lasted all day. All I added was a tiny bit of bronzer on my cheeks and I was good to go!

Considering this product is under $20, I am really really impressed. Some of my unloved foundations are between $50-$100, and honestly, this Garnier BB cream actually does a better job for me.

Its a really lovely product and one I will continue to use. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends!

Tips: I used a damp sponge to create a more natural lighter coverage, but it still covered the imperfections on my skin!

awesome

i really liked this product it didn't break me out and didn't irritate my skin which is a plus. I don't recommend using a sponge to apply it though. for the best application and coverage use a kabuki flat top brush or your fingers. loving that it doesn't even feel like your wearing any foundation.

Tips: don't use a sponge.

I expected better

I found that the light tone was too dark for my skin. It doesn't look right on my skin when I have silver blonde hair. It does cover blemishes sufficiently, so someone who isn't as porcelain skin as me would probably enjoy the easy application process and results. I think I will just stick to my foundation that I have atm.

garnier bb cream

Good light even coverage. The colour blended in very well.. I loved how it looked to start off with but as the day went on I found my face a bit splotchy. Other than that my skin looked very hydrated and not dry like usual.

Great one by Garnier

My first ever time using a BB cream I was interested to see how it would go. I love it! I have unusual skin, sensitive & can easily become unbalanced and then I have breakouts. I found the texture to be great, not heavy on my skin, easily absorbed. Easy to apply, smooths out well using my fingertips. I love the fact it has a subtle make up look to it, great for me as Im a busy mum so appreciate some coverage without the hassle. But also love that its light and didn't clog up my skin. Was very happy with it!

Tips: It lasts the day for me, but is light enough to add another application without feeling clogged up.

Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive

I have very sensitive and dry skin, and I never wear a lot of makeup, this cream has a very nice feel to it, goes on smoothly and my skin feels really nice and moisturised with a matt finish. The cream spreads on smoothly and it doesn't make me look 'over' made up. I have used this cream for three days and work mates have noticed a difference. I would definitely recommend this to friends, value for money, easy to use and makes my skin feel smooth and alive.

Tips: You need very little of this cream, a little goes a long way! The first day I squeezed out more than I needed.

Not disappointed.

I got to trial the BB Sensitive Cream - I have a little redness on my cheeks so opted for this type. I chose "light" which is perfect for winter, but I wouldn't want it to be any paler. I have a fairly normal skin type, and have used the normal variety in the past, however because I got a choice I wanted to try the cream for sensitive skin.

This BB is quite creamy, but not overly thick; it was just the consistency I expected it to be, and wasn't disappointed.

I have applied it with my foundation brush and my fingers, and I got a very similar result, so will stick to using my fingertips. It's very easy to apply and spread. It has more of a sheer coverage which it fine with me, as I don't like the full foundation look and it makes my skin look more dewy, which I also love. I don't like a matte finish.

I like that it doesn't have an awful fragrance, however I have used other BB creams with nice smells, so that wouldn't have bothered me at all. Fragranced lotions don't affect my skin at all.

This BB cream lasts all day - if I was going out after work I might use a light foundation for a fuller cover or finish with a mineral powder, but I love this look for daytime, and it feels like I'm not wearing anything apart from moisturiser. I also love that it has a sunscreen.

I think this BB Cream is well worth the price tag - I have tried other more expensive brands, and there is only one brand I like better but it's $35 AUD so price wise this wins my vote.

I'm a real sucker for pretty packaging, and I love purple and green colours so wouldn't probably have given this a second look - I don't hate the packaging, but I wouldn't have given it a second look on the shelf.

After using this product for 4 days, I have noticed my skin tone looks more even while wearing the product, but once I have washed it off, I don't notice my skins appearance to be any different.

I would definitely recommend it to friends; I love the feel of it, and the price is very competitive compared to other creams on the market. The tube is easy to use, it stands on it's flip to open cap (so you don't have to bash the product to get any out) and a generous size. The normal variety I brought over a year ago, lasted me 6 months. A little bit truly does go a long way.

Tips: Look for specials in The Warehouse, Garnier do have deals and this makes it even better price-wise.

BB Cream 'Sensitive'

My BB cream arrived a week ago so I have worn each day with different looks and put it to the test!

To begin with I always look at packaging that the product comes in. The box containing the bottle had a lot of information which I sometimes find over whelming but after having a read I found there was a lot of good info on this box. Then looking at the bottle I found this was a bit more simple and provided all the information that I needed. I must explain why this product did not get full 5/5 from me...as I inspected the bottle I found there was a sticker saying 'sensitive skin' which is the type I was after but I just felt it was strange that this was a sticker. So I peeled it off to find that the bottle actually said 'anti-ageing'!? How cheeky! Although I thought this was very wrong I continued to put the product to the test!

My skin is generally soft and smooth with redness. It also reacts to anything with a strong fragrance. First impressions of the product was that it was reasonably thick with no noticeable fragrance. To apply the product I would squeeze a pea size amount onto my fingers. I would then spread the product onto my face and rub it in with my fingers like I would do with moisturiser. The product made my skin feel extremely smooth and easily covered my redness which is a major plus for me! The product provided me with semi coverage which is great for a day time look. To take the product to a night time look I applied the BB cream as a base coat and then applied my foundation. This made for a flawless base and worked like a dream! The product lasted all day but felt light so I would forget that I was wearing anything! For $17.49 this is a great price and definitely worth it! Also how convenient that I can run down to the supermarket and get this product!

Over all I would recommend this product to all just as long as you were getting the product that type that has been advertised!

Tips: Try using this product under your foundation for a flawless base.

Fantastic product!

What I love about this product the most is probably its coverage and the consistency. I find the coverage really good. It is kind to my sensitive skin and I haven't ended up with any breakouts. I have skin that can get a little oily at times so I don't like wearing anything too heavy so I find this BB cream great. Great price in stores so I would definitely buy it again! I find it lasts really well as well.

I finally understand this product!

I was really, really looking forward to trialling this, after reading to much about BB creams in the last year, but still not quite understanding what they were used for.

Update: I now have a slight summer tan, and the shade is perfect. In fact, I much prefer this as a summer product, for it's lightness. Total convert. And I've also dug out an old, mini stipling brush from MAC, which gives a perfect finish to applying BB, much better than hands. It's now a dedicated BB brush!

And the verdict is, I love it! I've been using it for a few days, and as someone with dry skin, I love the extra moisture it provides that foundation doesn't. It's easy to apply; I used my fingers and palms, and I am usually a brushes-all-the-way girl. It's easy to blend, especially around the jaw and neck.

I have not noticed a reduction in blemishes, however I have noticed a reduction in redness. Use a spot of concealer on any bad blemishes, for extra coverage. I did not expect this product to work as a concealer, so I was not disappointed by the coverage.

My only complaint is that is seems a bit orange tinged; I have very fair skin, and even the 'light' shade wasn't pale enough. They should make it in more shades.

Tips: You still need to moisturise daily before application, but this does add that extra bit of moisture to combat dry skin!
