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!
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 :)
Tips: Try not to use to much and layer it on as it doesn't set well and if using foundation powder over makes it look to caky. Also if using the BB cream as a base try and let it dry before putting on your powder.
