Garnier B.B. Cream

I've been hearing a lot lately about BB Creams and seen several brands launch their versions including Boots, Loreal and Garnier.

Not knowing too much about them I did a bit of tinternet research and found out that BB can stand for Blemish Balm and the idea is that they even out your skin tone hide blemish's and generally make your face look as good as poss! So I had a gander on the Boots website to see what they are price etc and here's what I found,

The Loreal Nude Magique BB Cream claims to mimic the texture and glow of perfect bare skin whilst also providing SPF12 and 24hour hydration, £9.99 for 30ml in Boots

No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream offers SPF 15 and 5* UVA Technology and again claims to even and enhance skin tone, disguise imperfections and banish blemish's! £12.95 for 40ml 

That brings me to the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily all-in-one B.B Cream, again offers a SPF 15 and 24 hour hydration.

This is currently £9.99. 

I had a look in my local Boots but wasn't sure wether it would deliver its claims so my next port of call was the Garnier Facebook page where I signed up to get a free sample of the Light shade and voila it arrived! It came with three sachets for me to trial and I have to say each sachet has had three applications worth in so was a great freebie!! 

The cream itself smells nice and applied really easily and smoothly the shade is Light and I have to be honest if you are very pale I think it might be a tad too dark as one over application had me looking more oompa loompa than blemish free and natural!

I do really like this cream as it has left my skin feeling soft after removal and to be honest I didn't bother with foundation as it gave me a nice even coverage BUT!! I did have a few breakouts after wearing it and the point of it is to banish blemish's not create them which left me a little disappointed.

My next point of call is to try the No.7 BB cream as I've a £5 off voucher (boots just love handing them out!!) and I won't feel too bad if it doesn't work for my skin!

The Loreal cream I'm unsure about my sister has bought it and got it in medium and it was too dark for her skin but also for the price I don't feel you get that much compared to the other two I've looked at but that's just the miser in me!

Let me know if you've tried any other brands or have any advice to give
