I wore this product over three different days to test it out.
In general, I noticed that the formula is runnier than other BB creams that I have tried, this allows for the cream to spread easily across the skin however be careful when opening the tube. The product has a reasonably good scent, can't smell the SPF like many other products with SPF included- I like this about this product.
Day One: Applied onto bare skin. Absorbs well and gives a satin-like finish. Has general wear- if wearing over the course of the day, would definitely need to reapply at least once
Day Two: Applied onto bare skin and then set with finishing powder. Applying the finishing powder gave a more flawless finish however didn't seem to alter its longevity- would still need to reapply during the day
Day Three: Applied concealer, then BB cream and then foundation. WATCH OUT! It looked like I had applied way too much product and I had to spend a bit more time blending to ensure it didn't look "cakey". Applying finishing powder definitely toned down the "overdone" look however I would definitely be mindful to either apply less BB cream or less foundation than usual if using both products (probably a no-brainer but I thought I hadn't used much product anyway- USE LESS!)
I personally would not buy this again as I don't feel that it is the right colour for me (I am very fair with a pinky undertone), and for a BB cream, it is far too much under a foundation.
I really like this BB cream, it is perfect for those days that you don't want full coverage, but still want a little bit.
It comes in a nice slim tube, and the product is really easy to get out. Maybe a little too easy as its quite a runny formula however just make sure you shake it before using and it will mix and not be so runny. However as it is runny, it makes it very easy to apply.
The coverage is great and makes a real difference to the evenness of my skin. Its staying power is not that great however. It looks fab for a few hours and then the coverage starts to wear off, however that's not really a major issue as the coverage is still OK after this time, and as i said before I use BB cream when I'm not wanting that much coverage anyway.
The colour is fine and matches my skin tone well (light).
It has a pleasant smell, and there is no fragrance. Once it is on your skin it is completely odorless.
It deffinitly controls oil all day. No oily skin at all, however if you have a few dry patches on your face, it really shows these as the product sticks to the dry patches and makes them look even drier if that makes sense.
Overall I really like it and will definitely keep using it.
Thanks Beauty Review & Garnier for letting me trial this! xxx
Tips: Give it a good shake before using it Use moisturiser before, as it does not moisturise.
