BB cream.

I was in Tesco in Newbridge last night. They had a lot of beauty offers on.


I saw the new Garnier BB cream Miracle Skin Protector.
It was only €9.99.
So I thought I'd give it a go.


It claims to:
1. Even skin tone & boost glow
2. Blur imperfections
3. Smooth fine lines
4. 24 hour hydration
5. Have an SPF of 15 UV protection
6. Have vitamin C & mineral pigments


I put it on one half of my face when I came home, just to see what it's like in comparison to my natural makeup free face.


I was very surprised, I thought it was too dark for me until it adjusted to my skin. It gave me a fabulous dewy glow to my skin. Blended extremely well (I used my clean fingers for application). It has a slight scent just slight and it's not bad, well I don't mind it. It covered my little blemishes better than my current concealer (loreal infallible stick concealer). It was very moisturising which I loved and I couldn't even feel it on my skin!


I'm going to wear it all day tomorrow and I'll update on the staying power and how long it lasts once I have given it a full trial.


I really do like it and it's great for when you want a day of "no makeup" but still want to look polished.


I'll insert an image of the box and bottle,

Okay so I wore this on two separate days with some cream blush for a natural look. It went on perfectly and blended really well, it was very moisturising,  but as the day went on after 2-3 hours it got really patchy and horrible. As the day went on even more it got worse. On the normal parts of my face like cheeks it completely wore off, and on oily patches it went kinda slimy.(I know ew right?) And on the dry patches of my skin it clung like crazy and looked terrible. When I looked in the mirror and say my face I felt like I was a 10 year old girl just trying out makeup. I highly doubt I'm going to wear this again, it really didn't work for my combination skin.

I'm not saying to you not to buy it I'm just giving my opinion and if you have combination skin I wouldn't advise it. But if you want to go out and buy it and give it a try yourself but it doesn't work for me.
