I really like this BB, it goes on nicely and has a good even coverage. I used the light version but I think I could have used the darker shade but it should be fine for winter. A great every day BB when you don't want to apply a foundation as well.

Tips: Brush some powder over it to set it for the day. A little goes a long way.
I had never used a BB cream before so wasn't sure what to expect.
I have a fairly normal skin type - at different times can be a little combination like but is generally just normal with no concerns.
I found the BB Cream to have a creamy consistency which made it easy to apply - I applied the BB cream like I would a typical moisturiser and then blended into my skin. I found it felt light on my skin and didn't feel like I had "make up" on as such. It didn't feather or cake up in any areas on my face which I was pleased about. I only used one application on my face so didn't use it for concealing as such so was really a sheer appearance although I did notice that it lasted a good 8 hours on my skin without any difference in appearance.
Overall I was pleased with my first experience with a BB cream - I'm not convinced that it does everything that it claims to such as reducing fine lines but that could take a little longer to achieve.
Although I believe this is priced competitively, I don't think I would pay $17.49 for this product for myself although this may change if more positive changes to my skin's appearance happen by the time I have finished this trial product.
The packaging was nothing extraordinary but clearly shows product to be a Garnier one which is the biggest draw card as they are a good brand.
I am not sure if I would recommend to a friend but would definitely share my positive experiences, which would most definitely be the fact that it goes on just like a moisturiser while having the benefit of sheer tinted coverage, without feeling like your skin can't breathe (as I have found with many foundations over the years).
Thank you for the opportunity to trial this product.
I am a big fan of BB and CC creams as an alternative to foundation, but unfortunately this is not one I would recommend. I have fairly good skin but found I needed to use a fair bit of this product. I also found that it gave my face kind of an orange tint, and after a few hours it seemed to be a little patchy. I tried it with and without using a moisturiser first and there was little difference. I'm not sure if there were any anti-ageing qualities to it - I only tried it 3 times as I was really unimpressed with the color and the durability of it.
Tips: The regular version of Garnier's BB cream is much better!
I've used this product maybe 3 times so far under my make up.. Unfortunately it gave my foundation a more of a darker tone. it alone is fine if you don't have much blemishes but if your looking for a good enough coverage I wouldn't recommend this. It's really nice as a moisturizer on it own but combined with other products it doesn't do any justice.. sorry.
Tips: Exfoliate and moisturize your skin before putting any liquid product on it helps primers BB creams etc to give your skin that extra gooey feel x
I loved this product - I chose the Medium tone and it's great for my skin colour. Fresh fragrance - not too overpowering and it achieved a really good coverage that doesn't leave my skin feeling or looking too heavy. I would definitely use again. I'm looking forward to using it for longer to really test the anti-aging properties of this one
I received this in the Light/Clair Sensitive Skin Range. I liked the packaging and everything was easy to read and understand. The consistency was neither to thick or too thin and it felt quite moisturising. Obviously being for sensitive skin it didn't have a fragrance which was great. I applied it one day with my fingers like a moisturiser and the next day with my real techniques stippling brush. It felt smooth and light on my skin but I noticed it didn't really last over the course of the day. And almost gave me a sheen as opposed to that "dewy" look that foundation gives. The next day I applied it with my brush but i found it quite hard to buff in and it kept going streaky so i finished off by blending it with my fingers. There are definitely better BB creams out there that offer you a better coverage along with better staying power.
Tips: If you want long lasting wear, use a good powder over the top.
The box was definitely informative but over the top with too much "stuff" on it and promising "miracle"? No such thing. The tube colour was off putting but practical probably. The product is thick and creamy and did give me quite good coverage for the whole day. Highlight was the no paraben etc and the SP15 factor. I used base cover when going out and put a base light powder over top. Didn't use long enough to analyse the anti-agine properties sorry. Like the fact that it is available from my supermarket.
Tips: Use pea size at first till you work out what works for you otherwise you waste the cream.
I was sent the Anti-Ageing BB cream as I am in my late 30s and fighting the signs of ageing is certainly a priority for me in my makeup/skincare regime. I have a combination skin with areas varying from mildly oily to normal and some dehydrated patches - so probably not indicative of the 'Anti Aging' group which would tend to have drier skin. The first day I used it I made the mistake of applying my moisturiser as usual and felt the BB Cream slid off pretty quickly as a result. The following days I have tried it without moisturiser and had longer lasting results - also using a powder over the top in my oiler areas
It has a light to medium coverage and I would certainly consider using this on 'no-makeup' days or at the beach in summer as it has a radiant, fresh glow to it. I do prefer a medium-full coverage so for me on an average work day a BB cream wouldn't be suitable unless i was prepared to spend extra time priming, concealing and powdering (something I don't have to do with my current foundation).
I received the Light shade which works perfectly for me. The colour is on the Beige/Pinky side which evens out both the warm and cool tones in my skin and is a good match. I believe it might be too pink for those with a lot of yellow or very pale complexions.
In terms of claims that it 'reduces wrinkles' and 'firms skin' - I have not seen any signs of this. I do believe this would be great for those with dry skin looking for something lightweight with a bit of coverage.
Tips: This would be a perfect cream to use at the beach or while on holiday for dry skin types. Paired with a bronzer to add a glow to the cheeks and a tinted lip balm this would be a great wee summer essential.
WOW!!!! I love this product. The fact that it comes in a soft plastic bottle is a bonus as it means you can get every last drop out. I found that it covered the redness in my cheeks nicely and you really don't need a huge amount to cover a big area. This cream goes on really nice and for me seemed to have a powder look finish which i liked. I was a little skeptical about weather it would give me younger looking skin but it really did. My skin looked fuller and younger. I would advise anyone who hasn't ever tried this to give it a go its brilliant.
Tips: I found for me it was easier to apply with my fingers rather than a sponge and you don't waste so much.
When I first used this cream I thought it way too dark for my complexion, but soon realised that I only needed to use very little in comparison with other products as it spreads well.( which is a great asset) It goes on very smoothly and gives a nice healthy sheen to the complexion.
Tips: I apply with a brush and found that a good moisturiser underneath is very necessary. Would most certainly continue using and recommend to others.
