Garnier BB Cream Original Medium Tinted Moisturiser SPF 15, Glow Boosting and Hydrating with Mineral Pigments, Enriched with Vitamin C, Grapefruit, 50 ml

I was looking for a daytime moisturiser and came across BB cream and thought it would be a good option.The bottle is bigger than I thought it would be, and you only need to use a little bit so it will last! I was unsure whether to buy light/medium but decided to go for light hoping it wouldn't be too pale but it was darker than I thought it would be, so glad I opted for the lighter shade!Seems to give a good even coverage but takes a minute to rub it in properly so it's not patchy. Gives me a nice glow for during the day and not as heavy as foundation although I can feel it on my skin too so not ultra light but for the price it's great, also has spf15 which is a nice touch!

This is the first product of this type that i've tried so I don't really have anything to compare it to however I am deffinatly impressed and it has fact become my favourite makeup product. I wasn't sure whether I was going to need the light colour or not put it is a perfect match for my skin tone. I tend to wear alot of makup but was looking for something a little more natural for daytime use. Although this doesn't give much coverage it's enough to simply give the skin a fresher look. If I am going to wear more makeup I use this under my foundation as it make's application smooth and even. You don't need to use much of the product to get a decent coverage infact mine has lasted my over 3 months of daily wear! Overall I would say I am extremely impressed with this product!

I have a love hate with this bb cream. I love the colour, as I'm pretty pale and finding anything that isn't too yellow or too pink or too dark is rare. I'm not a fan of the coverage, because it does nothing to hide blemishes or redness, even though I presumed evening skin tone was the point. It seems to make my pores and fine lines more obvious, and I've had to add concealer to my morning routine as my under eye area looks so dark after using this. I like how lightweight it is, and its blendability, when you look at me it looks like my skin, you can see my light freckles which is rare too, but on the flip side, you can see pretty much all my acne scarring and any breakouts. I do find my skin gets really oily come afternoon, but, I find its good under a mask, it doesn't just rub off. So basically, I like it for some things, and not others. Also, I have extremely sensitive skin and I've not reacted to it, and that's a huge plus too, hence why I've given 3 stars as I feel that's fair.

A few years ago, my skin decided to get all awkward on me. I had lots of flaking and blotchiness, and buying foundation suddenly became a nightmare; nothing seemed right. I tried so many brands before finally sticking to (of all things) Leichner, believing that in my case simple was best. What I really liked about Leichner was the fact it seemed to be the only foundation out there that didn't leave my skin flaky and dry. The downsides were that it was slightly too greasy with moisturiser, and far too cakey and heavy without, but I put up with these shortcomings because I couldn't find a better alternative.Well, at last I think I've found one. Nowadays I just want my skin to appear natural, and this cream definitely ticks that box. It's still simple, but unlike Leichner, it isn't too greasy or dry and covers just enough; it's as efficient as some foundations without looking as obvious as most of them. It also blends beautifully (just slap it on any old how in a hurry -- you can't go wrong!) and has a lovely fresh, green type of fragrance. I was accidentally sent a Light shade instead of the Medium I ordered, but this turned out to be a fortunate mistake as the lighter shade is perfect for my pale olive skin; it matches exactly. If you want a more bronzed appearance, then just go with your usual shade. I should also mention that I use a little moisturiser with this cream, as my cheeks get insanely dry in the cold weather, but I could probably do without it come the summer. Actually, I'm looking forward to enjoying the warmer weather without the make-up melting off of my face!02/11/12: Didn't need any additional moisturiser this summer and my skin felt soft, nourished and definitely not greasy! I have very dry skin and this is a small miracle as far as I'm concerned, so I would thoroughly recommend this product to others with the same problem. Also -- and I don't know if this is just a coincidence -- but many people have estimated my age at around five to seven years younger than I am since I started using this cream! They think I'm mid-20's, when I'm actually early 30's. Some of them have even believed me to be completely line-free, which I'm not. So whether this is really a BB cream or an inferior imitation, I reckon it creates a rather good illusion for its £7.50 price tag.

first ill start with the pros, it covers well, evens out un even skin tones, hides spots (not large ones) and it feels like your not wearing any makeup. cons, after using it for a week i started to notice a small patch of red lumpy skin on my chin. i stopped using it and it went away. carried on using it and it hasnt come back, maybe it wasnt the creme, but i think it was, i just think i put to much on. make sure you take it off after 6 hours or your face gets a bit ichy. would reccomend to people with rather good skin, that just want something on to give you a glow.
