Garnier B.B. Cream - Tinted Moisturizer Review

I wasn't lucky enough to get invited into the Garnier B.B. Cream Bzz Campaign or to get a sample, but after I started reading everyone's great reviews I knew I had to try it myself. So, a few weeks back I bought the light/ medium shade on sale at CVS.

For those of you who are not familiar with this product I'll give you a little background... B.B. Cream is a tinted moisturizer with SPF 15.  It is actually a very nice, medium weight moisturizer that's fast absorbing and contains mineral pigment (similar to what's in mineral powders).

If you're not up on all the mineral powder facts, they say that mineral powder/ pigment is safe on skin, doesn't clog pores, and is actually good for your skin.  You can even sleep in it, though it's not recommended to do so regularly.

My opinion: If you've read my other skin care reviews, you know I'm VERY picky about moisturizers... My skin is somewhat sensitive and combination dry/ oily, so it's really hard for me to find skin care products I like.  Plus, I really don't like heavy creams or foundations, I like things that absorb fast and leave me feeling like there's nothing on my face. I like the way foundation makes my skin look: nice, smooth, and even toned; however I rarely wear it because I hate feeling like I have junk caked on my face, which could be because I didn't start wearing foundation until my mid-20s.

B.B. Cream absorbs quickly and is light weight, but it is a very good moisturizer and is not oily at all.  It leaves my skin looking nice and polished with out being weighted down by a foundation. Also, I have very fair skin, but the light/ medium tone blends in with my skin perfectly.  So you don't have that "mask" look that many foundations cause.

I think this is a perfect summer product because who wants to be wearing thick, cakey makeup in the summer heat? It can substitute for foundation if you are not looking for intense coverage, or it can be used under your foundation if you are.  It's really just a must have beauty product!

I personally just wear B.B. cream and mascara, for the perfect, flawless, and natural summer look!

If you still haven't tried Garnier's B.B. Cream, I highly recommend getting some! I have a feeling it will quickly become one of your favorite beauty products as well! Hope that was helpful! If you have any questions about this, or any of my reviews for that matter, feel free to ask!
