So, the BB cream was never going to be a winner with me because my skin tends to be quite red, therefore, I use a foundation that has quite full coverage. However, I really wanted to give this a try because I love the idea of wearing less make up. I made myself wear the BB cream for a whole day without anything else, but it just wasn't enough and I did not feel beautiful wearing it. This was disappointing as BB creams (according to my friends) are the next best thing to sliced bread. I decided to give it a go wearing it as my base and then putting powder over the top, this was definitely better and for the first half of the day felt very fresh - but alas, it didn't last. So, the plus's: Really nice smell, light wearing, great for going on holiday. Minus's: if you are used to full coverage, not going to tick that box, if you have oily skin, its just going to make that worse (in my opinion).

Tips: This would work well if you were, say, on holiday where you didn't want to wear too much make up, but wanted a little coverage. Also, if you don't have oily skin, then it would work a treat under a mineral powder or pressed powder.
I was sceptical of the 24hr hydrating care claim the most, my skin is at a truly icky stage now i've hit my 30's - but fear not, even after washing my face at the end of each day my skin felt silky to the touch and seemed to glow! It was easy to apply and gave me a soft glow like i'd just been enjoying some sunshine - when in reality i'd been slaving away in a windowless concrete tower. The only negative feedback for me would be the scent - it was a little overpowering. So all in all Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector gets a giant thumbs up from me :)
Tips: I found I got the best coverage and all over application by simply treating this as a moisturiser - applying a small amount to each cheek/ nose/ chin & forehead, then simply massaging it in in circular motions!
I found this product easy to apply and quickly absorbed into my skin. It has a pleasant enough smell and definitely gave my skin a nice glow. I found this bb cream did not provide as much coverage as I would have liked but would probably would use again as a primer before putting on something with a bit more coverage or for those days where I don't want to wear makeup. My skin did feel hydrated after using but wouldn't go as far to say my skin looked ''flawless' as redness and imperfections were still visible. Suited for those who are after a very light tinted moisturiser which has very minimal coverage.
I've never tried a bb cream before. It didn't have the coverage I thought it would but I wore it a couple of times under my make up and it was really nice as a primer/base. Usually my skin breaks out when I wear new products but I wore this for 4 days and didn't which was nice. I'd prefer a bit more coverage for my day to day makeup though.
I was quite disappointed with this product from the first moment I put it on my face, it was too dark even though it was in the shade light and I don't consider myself to be very pale.
This is a very thick product, and it left my face feeling sticky thoughout the day, I found this to be very difficult to ignore as I could feel it sitting on my face even when I wasn't touching it with my fingers. I found that way is was packaged to be very easy to use due to its thick consistency and the squeezable tube, as I was able to get exactly the right amount that I wanted. It has quite a pleasant smell although after I had applied it to my face I could no longer smell it.
I have normal skin and this BB cream promised to give me a healthy glow, I found that instead it gave me a sheen that made me look oily/sweaty and unwell. I tried using the product in ways to prevent this instead of using just my fingers like I normally would with a BB cream. I used a foundation sponge (one similar to the beauty blender) this seemed to help stop some of the shine although it did give a more sheer finish. I also tried using powder which worked quite well, although my favorite thing about BB creams is that the are simple, they are something that I like chuck on for an easy everyday look and powder just complicates this simple process, this also helped to prevent some of the sticky feeling.
My Favorite BB cream is the Maybelline pure BB cream, compared to that the Garnier BB cream is just not worth the money, this is not a product I will be purchasing or even finishing.
Tips: If shine is a worry for you and you prefer a matte finish then make sure you finish with a powder.
A lovely cream. It is quite thick and gluggy like and to start you seem to squeeze out too much but when you know how much you need there is no wastage. Beautifully scented and it certainly does not feel heavy on your face. A great price and I would certainly purchase this cream. The light colour was perfect for my skin tone.
Tips: First time you use this BB Cream dont squeeze out too much as it goes along way.
this product was amazing as someone who doesn't wear make up very often I found it easy to apply with even coverage. I found it did have a strong smell to start with but thankfully faded very quick. I found the BB cream lasted all day and it didn't have that obvious make up look. I would highly recommend to those who don't have a lot of time but still want to look flawless. also I think the price is great for how much you use its value for money
Tips: I would apply with makeup sponge for better results
Garnier BB Cream is very easy to apply on the skin. I apply the cream just like normal moisturiser, quick and easy. The cream is quite light and creamy but it doesn’t cover my flaw much, even when I apply 2 coats of BB cream. Don’t expect it to work like foundation since foundation is much thicker than BB Cream.
BB Cream is very easy to remove, just like normal moisturiser; The great thing is it still keeps my skin feeling smooth after a light wash even though my skin is normal, a bit dry; it never feels smooth if no moisturiser applied. I love the smell, it is really good and would last for about 5, 6 hours.
Well, I cannot really say anything about anti-aging since I only used 5 times.
There is nothing special about the packaging. For the price, $17.49 for the results i get from using is a bit too much.
I’m not sure if I would recommend the product now but might if there is any improvement on my skin.
I have normal to oily skin with freckles . At the first glacé I liked the packaging the gold really appealed to me . The consistency was a little strange it was quite thick but kind of greasy but not oily . I used both a brush and just my fingers but found it was much easier to apply with my fingers . I did like how it smelled it was very floral and lasted for about half an hour or so . When applied my skin appeared quite shiny so I had to finish with a powder over the top. It also didn't last very long on it's own especially when out and about . I wouldn't reckon end it to many friends but maybe someone who doesn't use makeup so much
When trying this BB cream I had to YouTube the best way to apply them, most said to use your fingers however I found it so much easier with a stippling brush. The cover was quite shear and I found it left my skin looking and feeling oily if I didn't use a powder over top. It has a very chemically smell which does go away once its all buffed in. I am very fair and being winter im slightly paler so it was very slightly too dark but wasn't too hard to make it work. Didn't make me break out or anything which is great. Its a nice little BB cream to have in the kit though and found it made a great primer for foundation :)
Tips: Definitely use a stippling brush to apply, helps with even coverage and blending it out. Use a matte setting powder to take away the oil slick look on the face.
