BB Cream the answer to my pale woes

I'm very slack when it comes to applying all over make-up daily but I found the Garnier BB Cream very easy to use. My face is naturally quite pale but the cream colour looked natural on me. I finally looked healthy instead of looking somewhat ill because it also provided some cover for the regular dark marks under my eyes. It gave me an even tone all over. The cream is quite smooth and blends in easily but if I used too much it was quite sticky and shiny. It did not feel heavy on my skin and lasted to the end of the day. At the end of the day I could wash it off without any drama and on the one occasion when I fell asleep before washing it off, my face did not feel suffocated the next morning when I woke up. The fragrance is pleasant and the packaging lived happily in my handbag without leaking everywhere. My skin feels soft and I have not experienced any breakouts since using the BB Cream.

Tips: Start with a small amount because a little bit goes a long way. If you have used too much use a tissue to gently blot some away.

Garnier BB cream

Although the colour of this BB cream was much too red/ orange for my yellow skin tone, I loved the texture and the satin finish, it gave my skin a lovely luminous look, which is what I love. I like that my skin felt hydrated all day too. If I could of had a shade more suitable to my skin tone, I may have purchased this again.

Great for everyday use

I have been using this product for 5 days now every morning and have trialed it as a make-up primer and also by itself for days I want to look more natural. It created quite a nice base for my make-up, but for some reason tended to wear off in little clumps throughout the day. When I wore it on it's own it reduced my redness and evened out my skin tone as well as still giving me that natural look I craved on 'no make-up days'.

My skin is normally normal-dry and this product didn't give me any irritation or added dryness, it actually gave exactly the right amount of moisture. The packaging is simple but practical (the product is very easy to get out) and the fragrance is pleasant and not overwhelming. The product is a perfect consistency and doesn't run out of the tube (which means you won't ever use too much) and application with both fingers and a foundation brush is a breeze (so easy to blend in). The coverage is light which is why I used it as a primer for my foundation (but perfect if you just want to reduce redness). I found it lasted most of the day, but I started to see my redness again after about five hours so re-application is necessary if you want to keep the coverage consistent. This product is incredibly affordable compared to a lot of other BB creams, and is very easy to source (sold in most supermarkets).

I will definitely be using this product again and passing my positive experience on to my friends (amazing quality and results for the price).

Tips: Apply just a thin layer to your face because I found when trying to build up more coverage the cream didn't set/sit as well on my skin.

Good product

Not a huge fan of BB creams as I like a more full coverage look. I tried this both by its self and under foundation and it worked well, it had good coverage for a BB cream and lasted all day which was a plus as most don't. I found it be really moisturizing and not to oily on the skin either which was nice under my foundation. Would defiantly use again, it would be a nice product for in summer or away on holiday when you don't won't to wear too much.

Tips: The color selection isn't huge so you may need to mix two color together.

Pleasantly surprised

I trialled this not expecting much as I had heard BB creams were basically tinted moisturizers and I really like a good coverage foundation as I have redness in my cheeks I like to cover. This BB cream sooo exceeded my expectations. I love it!! I have used it for 5 days now and would not go back to using my old Revlon Colourstay Foundation. I find this BB cream has better staying power than my foundation and makes my skin look so much more radiant. It also doesn’t dry my skin out like my old foundation could do at times. I even love the smell of it. The consistency wasn’t at all like I was expecting either. I was expecting a thin watery cream but this was nice and thick, although doesn’t feel thick once you apply it. I applied it as I do my foundation – with a brush. I tried it the first couple of days just by itself to see what sort of coverage it gave and how long it would last and it lasted well so in the past couple of days I have gone back to my usual routine of adding a bronzer as well on top of the cream. This product is so worth the money and I am glad I was given the opportunity to trial it, as I would never have gone and bought it to try otherwise, now I’m converted and will buy it again once this tube runs out!

Light, Fresh and Fragrant

This BB cream is an exceptionally lightweight, luminous and refreshing product, especially well suited for dry skin. I found that it produced a glowing, dewy effect and I also enjoyed its fragrant smell. I found it blended well with my natural skin tone and was relatively easy to apply. It gave me an even, smooth skin tone and counteracted any redness I had on my cheeks, and under-eye darkness. However because it is quite lightweight I would recommend using a concealer with it to hide particularly stubborn under-eye darkness. I also found that it didn't wear particularly well over the day, and I had to reapply it later in the afternoon. Overall though I would definitely recommend it, particularly for people with sensitive, dry skin.

Tips: Apply sparingly unless you like a rather luminous, dewy face.

BB = Bloody Brilliant!

I got up early this morning as I had a job interview at 10am and I wanted to have plenty time to get ready. Of course this meant that the 7 year old spilt his cereal (which I had to clean up) and the man dropped his contact lens (20 mins of crawling around searching the floor later I found it stuck to his foot) and the puppies escaped and ran rampant around the yard. So after a quick shower I had exactly minus two mins to do skincare and makeup. Thank goodness I had this Garnier Miracle BB Cream sitting conveniently on the bathroom vanity. I opened the tube (which was already out of the biggest negative I could find with this stuff, the pointless box!) squeezed some of the creamy stuff into my palm and slapped it on my face. Didn't even have time to moisturise first, just the BB Cream! I was really impressed when I looked in the visor mirror at the first set of traffic lights. The coverage was even, my skin didn't look dry despite the lack of moisturiser and it had a slight "glow" about it. The point of writing this in this review is not to vent (although it does feel better now) but to highlight one of the coolest things about BB Cream, its sooo quick and easy to use! My skin is normally on the drier side and I have never worn foundation without moisturising first because it makes my skin look dryer but this stuff really did do it all! It has a pleasant fragrance that doesn't hang around and interfere with your perfume. I used the Light but will need to move to the Dark in summer as it was almost a little too light even now. Its a really reasonable price and easy to find a stockist too. I could contiune typing its praises but I think you get that I loved it (and I think a puppy just ran past so its probably time to play chase the puppies again!).

Tips: If you want it to last longer use moisturiser and don't squeeze the tube too hard as a little goes a long way :)

This BB Cream came with some nice surprises!

I have been using my Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream for the past 5 days now and I am really impressed!

I have been using the MAC Prep and Prime BB Cream and previously, Clinique. The Garnier BB Cream beats the MAC by far! It has fantastic coverage, really makes a difference to you overall appearance in terms of covering up redness, evening out skin tone and giving you a nice healthy glow.

It applies well and a little goes a long way too. I would def go with a darker shade than your skin, I am quite fair but have been using the Medium colour and I think it looks great. If you find it too dark, you can always add some moisturiser to lessen it up a bit.

There were a couple of cons with this BB Cream which I find valid to share - it has quite a noticable chemical smell and I found it did sting a little when applying to freshly cleansed / toned skin. Perhaps my skin is just a little sensitive?

I am definitely going to keep using this tube to its end. It's a great BB cream to throw on when you're rushing out the door with kids and errands and just need to give your face a good once over to face the day!

Thanks Beauty Review for thinking of me!

Tips: Apply with a foundation brush to get a nice airbrushed look rather than your fingers.

Fast and fantastic!

Wow! The first day my Garnier Miracle BB cream (normal) arrived the first thing I did was open the box,follow the instructions and squirt some into my hands and rub onto my face. I actually couldnt believe it was THAT easy!!! Bein a busy Mumma I need a GREAT beauty routine,but one that doesnt take ages,and this BB cream is just that - Fast and Fantastic!! From the very first squirt into my hand I knew it would be good stuff as it had a nice pleasant smell. Rubbing into my hands I was worried that it couldnt possibly "cover" imperfections on my face and moisturise at the same time. But it did just that!!I used it as if it was moisturiser,covered my whole face and neck,it was light and easy to rub in,-without "drying up". Looked in the mirror and was surprised to see no streaking and an even coverage! I did however chose the wrong colour for me,but had it bein the light instead of med,it would have been perfect!! It lasted throughout most of my day which to me is another plus as I dont have time to re apply my makeup! Despite it being the wrong colour for me I have been using it every day and I love it,nice even coverage,moisturised skin and easy peasy to do with a great look to top it off. Thanks BR, I will be buying the "light" for me from now on, but i think ive found my new day to day makeup :)
