BB (blemish balm) creams promise all sorts and fill the gap between tinted mosituriser and foundation. Garnier's offering claims to do 5 things: mositurise, even complexion, sort out blemishes, give your skin a glow and protect against the sun (not a major problem in Ireland ...ya ya I know the sun can still get through)
It comes in two shades, light and medium. I have light and tried my sisters medium which made me look like a toddler who'd gotten their hands on their mothers fake tan, not a good look. I put it on the same as you would a mosituriser but be warned it won't even out if you put on too much at once. It's best to layer it.
When it's on I can't say it fills me with the confidence I get from foundation. It gives me a bit of a glow but adds very little colour to my face. As for it's benefits I can't say that I've noiticed any! It's not as good as my normal mosituriser, my complexion is still grey and you guessed it the pesky spots are still raring their ugly heads,literally.Oh and how could I forget the SPF, well I'm still as pale as ever but who's to know if that's the cream working or an extreme lack of SUN.
When I run out I don't think I'll be going with this particular BB Cream again, even though it was one of the first on the market over this side of the world. ( It's big in Asia don't you know.) It's taking all kind of liberties using 'miracle' as part of its name. And as for value for money it comes in under 15 quid and is often on offer. It will go far but won't really do much. So the search for 'flawless, healthy glowing skin' continues.
