GARNIER ALL IN ONE BB CREAM
Hi All,
Anyone that knows me, knows that I don’t wear foundation, its not because I don’t like it or I don’t like the look of it! Because to be honest I actually LOVE the foundation affect !
I just have never worn it because my mother has always told me I don’t need to wear it, and as mothers know best, I have listened to her, and haven’t made that investment into it yet! I know that once I do I will never go back, so I am waiting until I am abit older to make that purchase!
Having said that in the last year I decided to buy a BB cream, they were being raved about, and my mum had one in the bathroom so I tried and tested it, (As I do with most my mums products)!
Whats the product:
Garnier BB Cream All in one, Medium colour! It is meant to even skin tone and imperfections, smooth fine lines, hydrate the skin and protect from UV rays, it contains SPF 15 and vitamin c which helps brighten the skin! My BB cream is original but you can get the Garnier version in different ranges such as anti-ageing and sensitive.
(I have the shade darker for evenings, when I have tanned – It would not match up on me in the day haha)
What I like about it:
I love it because it gives me the coverage that I want, but is light enough so it don’t feel like I am caked in make-up!
Most BB creams have more skincare benefits than most foundations, such as hydrating the skin, this one in particular provides 24 hour moisturisation.
Its as easy to apply as a moisturiser, I don’t have to worry about uneven coverage, and just use my fingers to rub it in!
It costs less than £10.00, which is an absolute make up bargain!
I think its better suited for younger skin, or those who don’t need the coverage of foundation. I think that if your a foundation addict you wont like or be converted to a BB cream, unless your going a for ‘no-make-up-wearing-day’. Having said that if you are a foundation lover, maybe a BB cream is an ideal product for you in the summer, (That’s if we even get one this year).
I only wear this in the evenings, that’s why I have brought the medium colour instead of the light, if I was to wear it in the day I would need to go for the light colour, my fake tan lets me get away with the medium in the PM!
(You can see the medium colour gives my skin a darker colouring – I do not reccomend using a darker colour to your skin if your using it everyday, as your make up should match your skin tone/colour)
What I dont like about it:
There is not anything I can say I don’t like about this product!I have heard mixed reviews from other bbloggers on BB creams, and maybe because I am not a foundation ‘know it all’, and I haven’t really used many other face make-up products, I don’t have much to compare it to! All I can say is my opinion and I honestly like it.
This is a picture of me on a night out wearing the BB cream!
BB cream or Foundation?
How much coverage do you like?
Lots of love,
