Any Smashbox BB cream user reviews (combo skin)?
Have been hearing a lot about this one in particular- has anyone tried it with any positive or negative reviews?
Eta- I know there is a post about it below, but I am asking more about how well it works as a beauty balm (oil-absorbing qualities, specifically) and not about how well the shade matches my skin...
Re: Any Smashbox BB cream user reviews (combo skin)?
I grabbed a sample this weekend at Sephora.
On Monday I thought it was awesome. On Tuesday it was a bit warmer out so I went for a quick walk and came back looking like an oil slick in my t-zone. My skin did look great and I really want to like it but am on the fence.
I am fair and went with fair, it matched great. I thought the light was a little orange.
Daycare is SO exhausting!

I like it ok. I like the Garnier better if that means anything to you.
I don't have super oily skin, but I do notice that it keeps my face from getting shiny by the end of the day. I just don't care for how it goes on. It seems like it's difficult to spread evenly and I can usually see some streaks on the sides of my face when I'm done applying it. It doesn't melt into my skin like the Garnier does.
I agree with the above poster regarding the color of the light. The color seems a little off and I know I wouldn't wear fair.
