Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Anti Ageing Review

I picked this up, luckily cheaper as it was on sale, in a medium shade to suit my skin tone, I was so excited to try it as i had never worn a BB Cream and this was going to be first one and after reading alot rave about it, i thought this was going to be the one to suit me, Well I could not have been more wrong...

Packaging is boring, no pretty colours or anything like that on it, yes it has some information about what it does so that was a bonus, but beyond that, there was nothing about the packaging that attracted me to the product, and i normally say "at least you know your buying the product" but its not even one of those cases.

The formula was "muddy" to say the least, it was horrible and hard to blend into my skin, it was way too thick and heavy on my skin, I don't quite know hoe to describe it, i just could not get it to work on my skin, and then if I did finally work it into my skin, it did not cover anything.

I tried and tried to get this product to work but I just couldn't, I got through about half the tube after continuing to get it to work for me, i ended up throwing into my special fx makeup kit incase I needed anything flesh toned in there.

So sadly i will not buy this again, I wont recommend it either, all though price wise it is great and garnier has a great rep so I know it will suit some people.

This has a couple of shades to chose from and I am very pale so I chose the lightest, and it was still very very dark. The consistency is very thick, almost like putting a mask on. It doesn't blend well or provide any coverage, its more of a sort of tanning lotion effect? I couldn't use powder over this because it was so sticky the brush wouldn't glide on without sticking.

I thought I'd give the anti aging BB cream a try, I have fair skin so choose the light colour shade not the medium. The consistency of the cream was very thick and did not blend easily, i thought it had quite a sticky feel and needed quite a bit of powder to set it in place . On my skin the cream looked iridescent and covered minor flaws,I quite liked it. The problem was two hours latter the product had completely melted off my skin leaving an unpleasant oily shine. I've used it since and find it has no longevity and lI need to keep reapplying the cream.

Sadly I was not really liking this product. I found that it was very watery to use and looked like I had used nothing. No coverage a all. Plus it left a smell on my face that was quite unpleasant. I wouldn't use it again but the price was fair.

I have been using this product for almost two years now after trying a sample of the product. Never looking back for a daily foundation! It has everything I need with the SPF, easy to apply and stays on relatively well even after the gym. I like that it lasts as well, one bottle of it seems to go 6 months or more for me!

I switch between this BB product and another depending what is on special. I find that it covers my imperfections well. Sometimes I find it a bit sticky so I apply a moisturizer first which seems to work well. SPF is good. I found I sometimes end up very shiny, but this goes away with a bit of powder.
