Received this bb cream last week from BR (thanks ladies :D ) I was so excited i did a little dance, sadly the excitement was short lived.
Tried it on straight away, coverage was that of a tinted moisturizer, it isnt the amount of coverage that i would expect from a standard bb cream. The product moved around on my face and didnt sit nicely on the skin, instead it sunk into my pores and fine lines making them more obvious :( I have rosacea on my cheeks and jaw line and this bb cream did nothing to cover that as most tinted moisturizers wouldnt, but to give it a fair try i applied two layers hoping to build the coverage, sadly the coverage built in random areas of my face (around my nose, eyebrows, hairline, chin, and the outer corners of my eyes) And the previous layer i had applied to my cheeks had moved about and the product that was sitting in my pores and fine lines was even more obvious, and my rosacea was now showing through in patches.
determined to give it a fair go, i finished my makeup and went out to town (I didnt powder as i wanted to see how it lasted without powder) It was raining and as soon as i stepped out the door the test was all over. basically as soon as water touched my face, the bb cream washed off. it actually turned the water into a white murky mess and then dribbled off my face, the only reason i knew it was coming off was because all the water landed on my black shirt.... oops lol.
i gave this bb cream to my little sister who has reasonably good skin anyways and told her to set it with powder. lets hope she has a better experience with it.
I'd never even heard of BB creams before this trial - now I am hooked. I have sensitive skin - which is sometimes red around my chin and flaky around my nose. This Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Sensitive was amazing - much better than any of my existing tinted moisterisers or foundations. It provided excellent coverage and didn't irritate my skin, in fact it has made it better since using it!
Tips: You can use all day and then into the night, just put a fingertip squeeze more on your face where it needs touching up. A powder on top keeps it in place even longer.
