Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I have pale sensitive dry combination skin and was happy that this did not irritate my skin. However, it did not seem to last all day. The texture and fragrance is a plus, very pleasant floral perfume and a smooth creamy texture that glides onto the skin. I used shade light which unfortunately was still too dark for me but was happy to see that application was very easy with a little going a far way. The coverage for me seemed to be between sheer and full depending on the amount I use, regardless of the amount it seemed to setquickly but left a shine and cakey finish which I did not like. Application did not last all day. The RRP of the product is comparable with similar BB creams at the supermarkets such as Maybelline, I believe in terms of product/price this would be a little more economical than the Maybelline. Results - the product evened out my skin tone hiding redness and blemishes as well as covering some lines. I would recommend it to friends to try out as I have nothing really bad to say about it but not a HG item for me and will continue the search for a WOW BB cream. Would NOT recommend this shade to the pale ladies though as the light is still too dark.

I was so looking foward to using this product as had heard so much about it. I got it, lovely packaging - liked that it told you what it was, what it does etc instead of having to look around the box for info like so many other products. Unfortunately it didn't agree with my skin - even after the 1st use, so had to stop the trial. Although I couldn't test it properly, I can see it's appeal - such an easy product to use & can just be popped into your hanbag in a hurry for easy use on the go :o)

Great little product, I don't have great skin, very sensitive / combination skin, so was a bit worried it would make me break out but No!!! Creamy product goes on smooth, sheer to medium coverage that lasts all day (9ish hours) great for those days I didn't need to have a full made up face : ) love also that is has a SPF. Light fragrance when applying. Would definitely use again, good price compared to other BB creams I've tried. I've only been using a week so can't tell if the anti-wrinkle properties are working yet..?

I love the natural mineral illumination this product gives. Some of the more expensive BB creams use glittering minerals but this doesn't its so very natural. Unfortunately I don't like the shine, I prefer a matte finish but on the plus side I did experience the long lasting moisturizing that it gives all day. Its great that it has spf15 and it did definitely tighten my skin and gives a sheer luminous look. This product does do what it says. I will have to try the oily/combination one.

I love BB creams as I don't have a lot of time in the mornings and moisturizer/foundation/sunscreen in one is perfect - plus it doesn't look or feel like you're wearing a lot of makeup. Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector was thicker than the Maybelline BB I was used to, which took a little getting used to. It also left a more dewy finish, which I'm still not sure whether I like or not. I haven't had enough time to really see if there are any anti-aging benefits (trial time is far too short for the fine lines to start fading!) but it feels nice and does a good job of creating a nice, even complexion.

Can I start this by saying ow happy I was that it fit in my make up bag - yay!! Small victories people! Anyway..... I wore this all week before making my decision on this. Shall we start with the pros?

It is light weight and feels like you are wearing nothing at all which is a bonus because if you are wearing make up all day you do not want to feel like your face is caked on. It covered my pimple lightly and didn't cause a whole new break out (like new products tend to do to my face). However if I was having a bad break out I would need more than just this bb cream.

Personally I liked the slightly growly look it gave me - it probably would suit me better in summer as I like that shiny/ sparkly look more then and prefer a matte look in winter. So I think I will return to this product in warmer months. Another reason it makes for a great summer make up is that it is so quick to apply and has SPF in it and we all know that sunblock helps prevent ageing (not to mention this product also aids in anti ageing).

My cons for the product are that I am VERY pale (so those of you who are not pale probably do not have this problem) and if you do not blend properly you will know about it. SO blend. I mixed it on the back of my hand day one and it was soooo dark on my hand hahaha.

Another con was that I found it didn't wear as long as I wanted and I would need to retouch if I was heading out after work.

Over all I was very happy with this product and will be using it for everyday wear to work during the summer months because it is quick easy and light weight.

As for the anti ageing part - I figure it needs more than one week to work so watch this space ;)

A lot of women love BB creams and Garnier is no exception but I am yet to be convinced. Perhaps it is because I have loved using good coverage foundations for many years and find anything less just not enough!

I gave the product a good go though! It's easy to apply using just your fingers and has a light to medium consistency. It applies smoothly and I found the light shade ok for my skin tone (light to medium). The coverage just wasn't enough for me and I found myself just wanting to layer more on!

The product claims to reduce wrinkles and firm skin but I didn't notice any significant difference in the short time period that I had to trial. It also states "for instantly flawless, glowing skin" which was not the case for me. I found it greasy and not thick enough to produce a flawless result.

The packaging is eye catching and it has a pleasant fragrance and affordable price, so it would definitely appeal to many women. I feel that I could recommend it to people as a summer tinted moisturiser but I won't be raving about it's effectiveness.

I guess it's a personal preference but I will be going back to more effective long lasting foundations for a flawless finish.
