Go Garnier!

OK so I have tried several BB creams, avon, maybelline you name it. And always fail to find one that matches my skin. I am pale, but boy oh boy does this cream blend well!

The consistency is just right, it is not too runny nor too thick so it is easily to control on your fingertips. It has a more 'yellow' tone than a 'pink' tone as do most foundations, but suits my skin perfectly.

As far as hiding imperfections it does the trick it even hid my freckles and highlighted my face more. When it first is applied it does have an almost dewy shiny finish however this does settle after a few minutes or so. For those with slightly oilier t-zones you may need to lightly go over the cream with a finishing powder.

It was great it lasted most of the day, and i only had to reapply around the eye area due to being exhausted this week. I will continue to use this in place of my daily foundation as I loved how light it felt on my skin. I've been suffering breakouts from other foundations and have been using this for a week now, and not so much as a pimple! It's ticking all the right boxes!

It is such a generously sized tube and will fit in most peoples hand bags. It doesn't have an over powering smell which is great as this reduces the chance of having skin reactions.

The product lives up to its claims, I think it truly is really knowing your skin type and getting the correct formulation for your skin to get the most out of this product. I love this cream it didn't dry out my skin and I felt hydrated throughout the day.

Tips: Make sure you are on an awesome skincare range and routine to be eligible to use BB creams. There's no point using a BB cream if you are paranoid about pimples as it wont quite give you the same amount of coverage as a concealer would. By having a great base to work with you set yourself up to have awesomely radiant skin thanks to Garnier! :)

Make sure you actually know your skin type rather than guessing, In New Zealand during winter months most skins are indeed dry however most people have a combination skin type.All four types of cream will have slightly different shades and consistencies so it's important to really consider getting to know your skin type. Your local beauty therapist can help with this, either by going in for a facial or most salons just literally do a skin analysis for like twenty bux including product application etc. So don't be afraid to ask questions regarding your skins texture and health ladies :)

Smooth moves

This product was beautiful when applied. I have freckles and find it hard to blend them without caking tons of foundation, not a problem here. It was quite thick, which personally I don't prefer because of the way it pulls my skin, but this was incredibly easy(and annoyance free!) to apply. I don't have the need or the time to apply a full face of make-up daily, so this is a great product for me. No overwhelming fragrances. Only down point would be that it doesn't have a long face life so may need to become a purse necessity!

Love it!

I’ve been wanting to try a BB cream for a while now as I like really light foundation (I currently use MAC face & body) and it sounds like BB cream is a great alternative.

I’ve tried out couple of brands so far but haven’t ended up purchasing anything as I’ve found their “light” shade is still too dark or too orange. I’m happy to report that this wasn’t the case with the Garnier BB cream though! The light shade was a perfect match for my skin and I’m really happy with consistency and coverage. It comes out of the tube thick but is really easy to apply and doesn’t get cakey the way that foundation sometimes does, I’ve even been using without primer which I’d never do with a normal foundation.

As I’m usually in a rush in the morning (because lets face it, having 20mins extra snooze time usually trumps having more getting ready time) I’ve been applying to my face with my hands and then going over it all with a Real Techniques stippling brush which gives me an even finish and hides small imperfections / blemishes and gives coverage that so far seems to last all day.

The tube it comes in is designed to sit upside down so there’ll always be product waiting to be used and like all other Garnier products I’ve used it smells amazing!!

Would I recommend to a friend? Absolutely! I’ll definitely be purchasing again when my current tube runs out :o)

Tips: Use a stippling brush to get that "airbrushed" finish and add a powder on top if you're after more of a matte look

Normal Garnier BB Cream - Natural Tanned Finish

My skin is mostly normal with occasional oily parts so I opted for the Normal Garnier BB Cream. There is a choice between light and medium shades and I picked the medium with the idea that I can always dilute with moisturiser if worse came to worse. I have tried 2 BB Creams before and I really liked that the consistency of this BB Cream was not too runny – which a lot of creams are – and the best thing with this shade is that it gave me a really nice natural tanned daytime look! The product also went really far so you definitely get good value for your $$. For the application, since I don’t have the best foundation brush, I simply applied this cream like any other face moisturiser, little dab on the palm, and used both hand to smooth out any obvious lines etc. The smell was not strong at all, neither too perfumy nor synthetic. In the end, I felt comfortable with the coverage I got, it was quite dewy at first but did dry to a natural finish (not a matte finish) I felt happy not adding foundation or more coverage. It lasted really well during the day – something I really look for in a product – as if I can avoid having to carry makeup in my purse to “topup” during the day then thumbs up from me! The price is really reasonable – on super sale at supermarkets for as little as $10!! I especially love the size of the cream as it is small enough to carry in handbag/makeup bag, the overall packaging of the product is pretty simple and traditional – nothing to rave about or mark out as different. I would recommend this product to a friend as it does tick all the boxes – another good Garnier product!

Tips: Be careful with the shade you choose, medium could easily be too dark for many - try and test it before buying if you can :-)

Garnier BB

This is a really great product for me. I am not a fan of foundation and love something that feels lighter and has medium coverage, and this product does that!

I apply a couple of squeezes to my face and neck with my fingers and it does a great job of evening out my complexion, covering up small blemishes, and leaves a nice dewy finish. Sometimes I will add a little mineral powder over the top for extra coverage. I find that stays fresh looking all day.

I like how it is SPF 15 and such an affordable product. I would prefer it to be unscented or lighter scented but I don't mind too much.

Overall this is a really handy and easy to use product which makes my morning routine a breeze! I will definitely be repurchasing.

Tips: Luckily the light shade is perfect for my skin, but I can imagine that some women may have trouble getting a good match seeing as there are only two shades to choose from.

Super fast & easy to use!

Firstly, is it just me or does this stuff smell good?! I've been using this for a few days now. Pretty happy with it. Easy and quick to apply, doesn't leave my skin greasy. I have marked it down only because I had hoped it would have had slightly better coverage than it does. Does definitely seem to even out skin tone but doesn't hide blemishes really. I can see the tube lasting a wee while too which is always good. I normally struggle with generic colours as I am quite fair and also have yellow undertones. This looked kinda orange coming out the tube but it blends nicely in to my skin.

Tips: I find that using primer first helps it stay on longer. I apply this with clean fingers and it is so quick to sink in!

Great Lightweight and Casual Look

Overall, I was impressed with this product. I have previously used and reviewed the version for oily skin (I had purposefully bought that one for a holiday I was taking and wasn't one hundred percent happy with it) but now that my skin is less oily/combination and tends to be on the normal side, I was excited to re-try this version.

The first thing I noticed when trying this cream, was the texture. I love the thicker consistency, and that it feels more like a foundation. It applied really nicely on my skin and the scent was very light, so I didn't really notice that.

I'm so happy to see this in a more compact (and shorter) tube - also, I love the flip top cap and just the all-round ease of use with the package. Very happy!

I trialled the cream on the weekend and times when I didn't require/need a full foundation cover. As much as I would love to be able to use this daily, I just don't feel it gives the cover and longevity I need (not that it should as it isn't designed to be a foundation). So for me, in terms of a lightweight and casual look, I think this is perfect.

Tips: A powder applied on top of the BB cream will help with the wear and longevity, so if you are looking for something a little longer wearing, I recommend this trick.

Nothing more than a tinted moisturiser

Can't say it was quite the "Miracle Skin Perfector" it claims to be! I found it more of just a hyped up tinted moisturiser. I was hoping it would even out the redness on my cheeks or give me enough coverage to hide blemishes for a no make up day - but it didn't quite do anything except make my skin an odd colour. I am quite fair so got the light, but it didn't match me at all, or give me enough coverage to make it worthwhile wearing it. It has a nice light scent and seemed to be quite hydrating and lasted most of the day, but if I was to wear it again i'd still use my normal foundation routine on top - defeating the purpose of this product. I would never purchase it again.

Tips: Borrow a friends to colour match first!

Not thaaaaat great

This was my first time with a BB creme and I must say I wasn't overly excited about it. It didn't give a matte finish nor good coverage. I did put a powder over top to get a matte finish and for better coverage. This is a product I would wear for a super natural no make up look. I would say it is more suited for young teenage girls that are just starting to wear make up as it is light blend perfectly without looking cakey.

Tips: Wear a primer and for better wear and coverage use a powder
