When I first heard of BB Cream's, they were only an Asian beauty product. I was highly intrigued, but didn't know how I could get my hands on one. BB Cream finally travelled to North America with brands like NARS or Smashbox. I was curious about them, but not enough to drop that much money. When I heard that Garnier was realeasing theirs I was over the moon to try a drugstore version!
BB Cream is essentially a tinted moisterizer that has many benefits, which Garnier has listed on the back of the product.
After all the hype, I'm really not a big fan of this product, which I know is an unpopular opinion. This BB Cream has a thick consistency, with pretty good coverage for what it is. It has a nice scent, but I can't really trace exactly what it smells like.
Overall, I find this product way too shiny and streaky. This photo was taken about ten minutes after application, and although hard to capture, still looked shiny on my skin. I found that this didn't last long on my face and needed way too much reapplication of a setting powder throughout the day. I also found that this oxidized a little on my skin and looked darker at the end of the day than when I applied it. I don't like how there are only two shades of this product as I believe there is a much wider colour range for skin.
I just didn't love this product, but I would definitely try other BB Cream's to compare! I can't wait until other drugstore brands come out with their own. What do you guys think of BB Creams? Have you tried any?
