Ciao bella!
How has everyone been? Good, hopefully. :) Today I am reviewing the Garnier BB Cream. I ordered the free samples to try out before I bought anything. All the opinions are my own, and maybe others will get on with it better. Not sure of Zoe's opinion... will ask her soon. Anywho, here's my review:
BB (Blemish Balm) Cream is designed to merge together skincare and make-up, making a so called 'miracle' solution. It is lighter than foundation but not as lightweight as tinted moisturiser. A happy medium if you like. It has been a breakout product and many people really like it. All the big brands including Garnier (obviously! haha), Maybelline etc have been making their own versions. I thought I would try Garnier because they have experience in make-up and skincare.
The Packaging
The little case that the 3 free samples come in is really cute and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. The packaging that it comes in if you buy it properly isn't anything special, just a bottle that you squeeze (I love that word!)
The Product
Packaging and what the product is supposed to do aside, what is the product really like? I was really expecting a miracle because I have seen the adverts and raves about it, but all I got was a leaves-orange-stains pretty bad tinted moisturiser. It did not cover my blemishes and the only place it worked was my chin. Which has no blemishes. It was OK, I suppose, in the blending area, as it is quite a lightweight formula. But, with a lightweight formula you expect a lightweight product, which I did not get. I don't know if it is just my skin and it works fabulous for everyone else, I'm not sure. I would reccomend ordering a free sample first though, just to check. It retails for around £5.
Go ahead and try it if you wish, but make your expectations low so that maybe you'll be surprised!
See you later! xx
