I'm trying out the Garnier BB cream today

I know BB creams have been a hot topic lately so I thought I'd share.  

I had a $2 off coupon so it was only $10, I figured I'd give it a try before shelling out for a more expensive brand. I'm definitely liking it so far, the shade blended nicely and my skin feels like velvet. It does have a scent to it but not one that bothered me. I set it with that Tarte powder we were talking about the other day, I can't remember what it's called (came with the 500 point gift).  Also I did use a bit of concealer on some old acne spots and under my eyes. So far so good!

  • Cool!  Do you use moisturizer or anything underneath, or just put it on bare skin?

    I just put it on bare. I have one little kinda dry patch right now from my Accutane so we'll see if that looks any worse at the end of the day. My skin doesn't feel dry though. I'd love to be able to skip a step in the morning if I could, my current moisturizer takes a while to soak in.

    Really? In the latest issue of Real Simple, it said it was Beauty Balm.

    I researched bb creams online recently because I didn't know what it was and now I want to try it out.  It started off as blemish balm in Asia.  It's probably been Westernized or Americanized with "beauty" substituting for "blemish."
