Re: BB Cream

  • you can get it at clinique for 20 something and you can also get it in the drug store. Garnier fructise carries it for about 11 dollars.  However, all BB cream really is, is tinted moisturizer. If you check out ingredients and reviews you will see it's all pretty much the same.

  • I wasn't super impressed with the garnier BB cream. After getting a sample from Birchbox, I splurged on Dr Jarts. It goes on smoother and has SPF 45. It is great for playing outside with my ds.

  • The Garnier BB has a horrible smell, the fragrance is overwhelming it was all I could smell all day.
  • Yeah, I don't like the Garnier one, either- It oxidized really weird on me.

    Maybeline & L'oreal both just had one come out, but like a PP said, they're both pretty much repackaged tinted moisturizer.

    Out of all the ones I've tried, I've liked Bosica best, but I still wasn't in love with it. I have a sample of Dr. Jart's heading my way that I have high hopes for, though.

  • I tried the Loreal. Not bad but I wasn't impressed. Not enough coverage or "brightness". (also only a spf 15) I usually only wear TM so I like sheer but it was pretty boring. I tried a sample of the Maybelline and it seems like more coverage. I'll probably splurge on a Sephora brand next. I like a 30+SPF

     

    I tried the Boscia and it made my skin look fresh and even toned. a little pale for my tan summer skin but it did make a brightness, covered but still sheer appearance. A+

  • It's from Sephora and it's not less expensive, BUT it's worth it to me - Too Faced BB Cream in Nude Glow, has excellent coverage and SPF 20.  I'll definitely buy it again when I'm finished this one.

    This is my favorite BB Cream as well.

    Also--I wasn't a fan of BB Cream until I learned that you want to press the product in initially, not just rub... and never ever use a brush.  You want the heat from your fingers.  

  • Thanks for the application tip!  I didn't know that
