I won a full sized tube of the anti-aging BB Cream In light. On the Facebook Garnier BB Cream app.
I opened it up and smelt it first.
I don't like the smell. I am not a fan of scented facial products. Especially ones with such a strong fragrance.
I then swatched it on my hand...
My first thought of the colour was 'oh I've been sent a medium'. Cause that is dark.
So I apply it like a moisturiser. With my fingers.
Product melted into my skin with ease, but that smell ugh!
Looked in the mirror and yeah it was definitely too dark for my skin colour.
It did not sting. Which was great.
BB Creams are very pigmented , I was expecting a lighter more sheer colour.
The texture of the BB Cream is thick and I like that alot. Better than runny.
It did slightly even out my skin tone, my skin appeared soft, smooth, brighter maybe?
Lasts well throughout the day, although the colour is still apparent it's too dark.
I even wore it with a light dusting of mineral powder. Looked ok. For a natural look. Still too dark... :(
All in all good product I just wish it was unscented and lighter in colour. Why would light be so beige looking??
My skins appearance seems better , slightly better.
The packaging was pleasant on this product and the tube is a great size to slip into your makeup bag. It had quite a strong but nice fragrance, which luckily didn't dwell on the skin as i usually avoid scented products on my face. I found the coverage wasn't good, even with two layers on,although the second coat did blend well with the first. Also, i found my face a little shiny after application. Using it as a base under my foundation worked well as it did seem to even out my skin tone a little. I feel i can't really comment on the anti-aging aspect of this product after only using it for such a short time, but did find that it didn't sit in my fine lines so looked smooth. Would recommend to a friend as base for foundation, or on those days when you want to feel you have something on your face but not a full face foundation. The spf factor is a bonus though i feel not strong enough. Over all a good product at a reasonable price for what you get
Tips: Only need to use a small amount and blend well
