Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

For the last 2 weeks I have been trying the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Sensitive. My skin is combination and somewhat sensitive and prone to breakouts. When I go through times where my skin gets acne at a certain time of the month I usually give my skin a break from make up but decided I would continue with the BB cream. I did think that the spots I got went away a lot faster. I thought that maybe the medium was a bit too dark for my complexion but it really didn't matter. I enjoyed having a little colour in my face without it looking like a bad tan. I used it in place of my moisturiser and used it with my regular foundation and I really loved the coverage I got. It did seem to soothe the redness in my face. The packaging was nice but maybe not something you would choose out of many other products on a shelf in the supermarket. I have gone out just wearing the BB cream when I was in a rush and felt confident that I didn't look ashen. I did not see results in the first week but definitely by the 2nd week my skin felt more moisturised and healthier. I am very pleased with the results and will be recommending it to my friends. The price is reasonable and I would happily be able to sneak it in with my groceries.

Firstly the packaging for this product is pretty good for the price of the product, it has clear labelling so you know what it is. The consistency is the same as most BB Creams I have used before, however I feel as though this is shearer in coverage in this product for someone with skin like mine that has some high colour and scarring, in saying that I would use it as a primer under a foundation, be aware that it does give a slightly matte finish. I found this product to have little to no fragrance and found better applications when I applied it with my fingers but I noticed no "miracle" results that it calms. For me this product doesn't seem to last very long, maybe 4 hours. Because this was just a pretty average BB Cream I wouldn't recommend it to a friend because I think you can buy BB Creams that are better for not much more money.

I was so happy when I got picked and sent this BB cream, I have sensitive skin and is red (even worst when drinking lol) I put the BB cream on after using my daily face cream and went on really well, was abit worried when I first used it as looked abit dark (I have the medium shade) but when using it on my face it blended well and adjust to my skin tone. The BB cream makes your skin look even, tones down the redness and covers well giving a nice natural tint of colour as well, I really love this product. Only thing I dislike if your a little heavy handed like me when dispensing the BB cream from the tube if it comes out to fast you can't put back what you don't use so end up wasting it, if there's one thing to change would be to have the opening smaller so you can control how much BB cream is coming out. Also a little goes a long way, again I love this product and will be buying it again once I run out :)

I was really excited about trailing this product, as I have never used a BB cream and wanted to see what the fuss was all about.

The consistency was quite creamy, making it really easy to put on and blend in. I mostly used my fingers, but then had a go with my Sigma F80 brush, and it went on even better! The smell was fairly subtle and not unpleasant, I didn't really notice it.

As I am normally around a medium, I didn't think there would be any problem with the shade, especially in a BB cream, but it was far too dark for me. So I had to make sure to blend it all in really well, and I never put on more than a sheer layer. But it did look really good under my foundation. The SPF was an added bonus though.

I kept making the mistake of squirting too much out, but once I got the hang of it, I am pretty sure that it will last quite a while. I'm not 100% sold that this does everything it claims. While it definitely makes my skin seem smoother, and doesn't flake at all (a real problem with my super dry skin) I haven't yet noticed any reduced redness, corrects blemishes, and it can feel a little powdery after an hour or two. I would probably give it another go in summer when the shade might look better on me, or possibly even try the light shade, although I think I would rather spend the $17.49 trying another brand. I do have very sensitive skin, and often come up with rashes and itchiness with many products, but I definitely did not suffer from any of this with this BB cream.

The packaging (box) has a lot of information on it, but I didn't find the tube itself very attractive. Im not sure if it was that the colour of it made it look outdated or something else, but I lean towards the colour.

To wind it up, I would recommend this to friends with sensitive skin issues, but I would advise them to make sure they can get the shade that would suit them, as the medium really is quite dark.

I am Nc25 and and medium its a perfectly on my skin. This BB cream go along with my dry sensitive skin. Its doesnt make any flaky skin on my face neither shine my face. Provided sheer coverage some people might need concealer. Comes with tube packaging which is good for hygiene. The good thing is no smell at all. Overall this is a good BB cream that provide different options for everyone

A nice light BB cream, pleasant to use. I applied with sponge, and the end result was flawless. The medium shade was a little dark for me for this time of year (Winter) but mixed with light would be perfect. It gave a good coverage, not too heavy, but good enough to wear with nothing else but a light lippy. I would definitely use again, and will be! Maybe finish with a dusting powder if you like but good enough to stand alone. Really liked it :)

Im going to be honest, when I received this product for review I thought I would hate it! I haven't found one Western BB Cream that I have liked, they all look patchy, oily and come off by the end of the day, so the first day I wore this I was shocked to say the least!

When I think of a BB Cream, I think of days when Im not doing a lot but I don't want to be bare faced, i'll just chuck on a BB Cream, some blush, mascara, lip gloss and im good to go, I look alive, not like a crazy lady who just crawled out of her cave.. because I look like that first thing in the morning ha ha! And being a huge fan of Asian BB Creams I really didn't think that this would compare.

So I tried the Garnier BB Cream out, on first impression, it was a nice thick consistency, it had a nice light scent to it, and blended out on my hand first it looked to have pretty good coverage.

First application to my face, I was really impressed! A pea sized amount of product was enough and it gave a really nice light coverage, It didn't look blotchy at all and it gave a really nice dewy finish, which I love! I don't ever set my foundations with a powder as I haven't found one that doesn't make my skin look even more dry than it is. Throughout the days I wore the BB Cream by the end it still looked nice and natural, it had worn a bit around my mouth and nose and it had made my Tzone look slightly oily, which I did think was strange as I don't have oily skin, but it was enough to really bother me, and I wouldn't make the effort to touch up throughout the day.

As it states I was sent the Sensitive skin version of the BB Cream as I get Eczema and I do break out from certain products, I havent had a single breakout since using this BB Cream and I havent noticed a difference in my skin either. I also got it in the Medium shade and it was seriously the perfect shade for me, just to compare I wear Sand Beige in most foundations so if that around your shade medium would be perfect, and I have yellow undertones.

I would recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin, I think it would be the perfect product for girls just getting into makeup as it isn't heavy on the skin and it has a really nice light coverage, plus its really affordable and available in supermarkets!!

I was totally sure when receiving this that I would be giving it a bad review, but I actually don't have anything bad at all to say about it! Im really impressed and I think I will be getting a lot of use out of the Garnier BB Cream!

When I received this I was so happy to try it. It arrived in perfect condition in the box. I opened up the box and the cream itself was in perfect condition too. The BB cream doesn't really have a smell but the smell that I can smell is really nice and you don't notice the smell at all when you put it on your face. I received a medium and it looked nice on my skin tone which is probably olive-fair. I noticed that if I rushed like I had with previous BB creams it would look quite patchy but if you just used your fingers to rub it in it would look fine. I did notice that it appeared a bit orangey on my skin but that didn't bother me very much. The texture of it was very nice it was a bit thicker than previous BB creams I have used but I think it looked a lot smoother than the other ones and it also spread fairly evenly. The coverage lasted all day on my skin which is sensitive and I didn't get any breakouts appearing on my face. I noticed that you didn't need to apply much to cover your face because it provides a lot of coverage with a minimal amount.
