I got a sample of Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream in the mail, and I was so excited to try it, because there was so much hype surrounding it. There was a good amount in the sample, so I could use it for several days in a row which was great, because I could see how the product was when used consistently. It went on very smoothly and a little went a long way; When used on it's own I found it added a luminosity, for sure, which was nice because my skin is very unevenly coloured; but I also found it made my skin quite greasy feeling, especially as the day progressed. Then my skin went from luminous to oily-looking, Not so good, and I had to loose-powder my face to absorb some of the oil. I liked the results a bit better when I used it under a light foundation- it seemed to act kind of like a primer and helped to even my skin tone even more. Overall I liked the concept of the product more than the results, and don't think I would pay almost $20 for something that made my face feel that oily :(
I'm not sure it truly qualifies as a BB cream. It tries to pack in a couple different elements (SPF, Vitamin C) and promises to even your skin tone while hydrating. My combination skin (oily T-zone, normal cheeks) was completely dried out. This product comes in two shades: Light/Medium and Medium/Dark. The light shade was too dark for my skin.
I suggest you save your money and buy a real BB cream.
I got this one in the light shade. I've been a BB user for quite a while, & this one just didn't cut it for me. For the price, & if you use the coupon, it'll be on par or possibly slightly cheaper than some of the korean ones. It's a pretty good deal for the 75ml size.
The light shade was too dark for me & I found the scent to be strong. Kind of an ointment-like smell. Compared to what I've tried this one isn't thick and is easy to apply. The coverage is a little better than my regular BB, but still not too great.
Definitely not a miracle cream, but only the really high-end korean one's come close to miracle. No BB cream really is a miracle cream.
I don't really know if I would recommend it, but if you're like me & have tried a few of the korean BB creams & have found one that you like, this probably isn't for you.
