Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

This BB cream is an exceptionally lightweight, luminous and refreshing product, especially well suited for dry skin. I found that it produced a glowing, dewy effect and I also enjoyed its fragrant smell. I found it blended well with my natural skin tone and was relatively easy to apply. It gave me an even, smooth skin tone and counteracted any redness I had on my cheeks, and under-eye darkness. However because it is quite lightweight I would recommend using a concealer with it to hide particularly stubborn under-eye darkness. I also found that it didn't wear particularly well over the day, and I had to reapply it later in the afternoon. Overall though I would definitely recommend it, particularly for people with sensitive, dry skin.

I got up early this morning as I had a job interview at 10am and I wanted to have plenty time to get ready. Of course this meant that the 7 year old spilt his cereal (which I had to clean up) and the man dropped his contact lens (20 mins of crawling around searching the floor later I found it stuck to his foot) and the puppies escaped and ran rampant around the yard. So after a quick shower I had exactly minus two mins to do skincare and makeup. Thank goodness I had this Garnier Miracle BB Cream sitting conveniently on the bathroom vanity. I opened the tube (which was already out of the biggest negative I could find with this stuff, the pointless box!) squeezed some of the creamy stuff into my palm and slapped it on my face. Didn't even have time to moisturise first, just the BB Cream! I was really impressed when I looked in the visor mirror at the first set of traffic lights. The coverage was even, my skin didn't look dry despite the lack of moisturiser and it had a slight "glow" about it. The point of writing this in this review is not to vent (although it does feel better now) but to highlight one of the coolest things about BB Cream, its sooo quick and easy to use! My skin is normally on the drier side and I have never worn foundation without moisturising first because it makes my skin look dryer but this stuff really did do it all! It has a pleasant fragrance that doesn't hang around and interfere with your perfume. I used the Light but will need to move to the Dark in summer as it was almost a little too light even now. Its a really reasonable price and easy to find a stockist too. I could contiune typing its praises but I think you get that I loved it (and I think a puppy just ran past so its probably time to play chase the puppies again!).

I have been using my Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream for the past 5 days now and I am really impressed!

I have been using the MAC Prep and Prime BB Cream and previously, Clinique. The Garnier BB Cream beats the MAC by far! It has fantastic coverage, really makes a difference to you overall appearance in terms of covering up redness, evening out skin tone and giving you a nice healthy glow.

It applies well and a little goes a long way too. I would def go with a darker shade than your skin, I am quite fair but have been using the Medium colour and I think it looks great. If you find it too dark, you can always add some moisturiser to lessen it up a bit.

There were a couple of cons with this BB Cream which I find valid to share - it has quite a noticable chemical smell and I found it did sting a little when applying to freshly cleansed / toned skin. Perhaps my skin is just a little sensitive?

I am definitely going to keep using this tube to its end. It's a great BB cream to throw on when you're rushing out the door with kids and errands and just need to give your face a good once over to face the day!

Thanks Beauty Review for thinking of me!

Wow! The first day my Garnier Miracle BB cream (normal) arrived the first thing I did was open the box,follow the instructions and squirt some into my hands and rub onto my face. I actually couldnt believe it was THAT easy!!! Bein a busy Mumma I need a GREAT beauty routine,but one that doesnt take ages,and this BB cream is just that - Fast and Fantastic!! From the very first squirt into my hand I knew it would be good stuff as it had a nice pleasant smell. Rubbing into my hands I was worried that it couldnt possibly "cover" imperfections on my face and moisturise at the same time. But it did just that!!I used it as if it was moisturiser,covered my whole face and neck,it was light and easy to rub in,-without "drying up". Looked in the mirror and was surprised to see no streaking and an even coverage! I did however chose the wrong colour for me,but had it bein the light instead of med,it would have been perfect!! It lasted throughout most of my day which to me is another plus as I dont have time to re apply my makeup! Despite it being the wrong colour for me I have been using it every day and I love it,nice even coverage,moisturised skin and easy peasy to do with a great look to top it off. Thanks BR, I will be buying the "light" for me from now on, but i think ive found my new day to day makeup :)

OMg i am ssooooooo inlove wiith BB cream ever since usingBB cream my skin is so much nicer it really does what it says it does i have been using the anti ageing one (never too young to start using) and my goodness it sure does help with my wrinkles on my forehead so ues 10/10 for me :)

My skin type is normal and I found this a great light cover as a tint moisturizer or as a primer under foundation for heavier coverage. It was easy to apply with my fingers, no need for a brush. One thing I did't like was the perfume, I felt that it was too strong, but would not stop me buying the product again.

I felt like the product lasted well if I put a little powder over the top.

This product is well worth the money and easily accessible from the supermarket. Packaging is simple and the product is a good size that lasts a while.

SO to conclude, the product was worth the money, I would use it again as it promised what it said it would do!

NB cream review

The formula is Thick and a little goes a long way Application is easy I used my finger tips. The pigmentation was not too over powering for my very fair completion which is hard to find On first impression after application it looks very shiny but it absorbs quite well into the skin and can still be felt on the skin hours later because of this it felt as if it was caked on my face and I wanted to remove the product off my face Unfortunately this BB cream is fragranced which is a shame. A combination of its thick feeling on my skin and the over powering fragrance has hindered me from using this daily. It has also broken me out so I have stopped using this, I might add I have not change anything in my beauty routine apart from this BB cream and I hardly never break out. I'd only use this product every now and then maybe to put some coverage for impromptu guests or dinner date I wouldn't want to wear it for a whole day on my face

To start off with, this bb cream doesn't really have any scent to it that i notice. The consistency is so much thicker than any foundation i use. I used different methods of applying this bb cream.

Flat top kabuki brush - This method made the bb cream go on a bit splotchy as its quite thick. It gave quite a medium coverage. It was not lightweight and it did feel like i have product on my skin.

Damp Beauty Blender - This sheered out the bb cream and gave a light to medium coverage and a dewy finish. The application went on a little better but still gave that heavy feeling of having a product on my face.

The product itself isn't impressive, within two hours of wear, my imperfections had peeped through the bb cream. My skin looked so cakey and textured than it actually is. I use essano moisturiser underneath and with or without primer, the results were not as good. It did not smooth my skin and brought out more texture than my skin actually has. It's very thick, and even though i use a little bit, it did not apply flawlessly. Unfortunately, my skin also reacted with this and had I had broken out of small comedones on my forehead. And this was the only product i added on my routine. Sorry Garnier, I probably won't repurchase.

I normally use the combination skin type of this product in Summer, however I find it too drying in the winter. I was very excited to trial this product and see if it performed on all its claims. The tube is a nice gold colour and it has a convienient flip top. Perfect for those mornings when you are in a rush and next to get going quickly. The first time I used the product I noticed its creamy texture and pleasant smell. The product looks very thick when it comes out of the tube but glides on easily and has more of a sheer coverage then you would expect (from looking at the product in the tube). It is very easy to apply and requires hardly any blending. The colour (light) matched well with my skin tone as wasn't as orange looking as some of the other Garnier BB creams. The first time I wore this product I used it on its own to see what it could deliver. I was not that impressed as the coverage was sheer I didn't feel it covered any red areas or blemishes. I also prefer a matt finish and this was definitely dewey. To solve this problem I used a mineral powder to set the BB cream and give it more of a matt finish. I also used an additional concealer for those pesky area, such as under my eyes. Even with the powder I still got a little shiny by the late afternoon. I have definitely come to like this product more as I have used it but for what it is, more of a tinted moisturiser than a BB cream. I will be sticking with my ZA BB cream for now.

The cream just seemed to be a little thick or gluggy... it went on quite well though and blended really nicely with my skin tone. Only needed a tiny amount to cover my face. It did feel a little heavy or oily though, but I'm not sure if that is just the consistency or my skin! Overall it did what it said it would, and helped even out my skin tone.
