BzzAgent: Garnier BB cream

Do you know what a BB cream is? I had no idea until I got this campaign. BB apparently stands for Blemish Balm. It is supposed to 'perfect' your skin while providing a sheer coverage. This particular product is by Garnier.

When I got it, it reminded me of a tinted moisturizer. Using it, it has a little bit more coverage compared to tinted moisturizer. I have been using it in place of my foundation and I like a good coverage. However I do have to be sure to use a under-eye concealer when I use this. So it isn't quite the medium coverage that my usual foundation gives but it is a nice change. It does give me a 'glow' almost like a sunkissed skin look while protecting from the sun. I enjoy the look. I also noticed that my skin feels good. However I have very sensitive skin. I was already knee deep in a forehead breakout before I got this product (thanks to trying to use a cheap moisturizer instead of my usual stuff). Usually my skin needs a few days to adjust and I am fine. I did switch right back to my old moisturizer. However I am still fighting the breakout and I'm not sure if that is because of using the BB cream. I'll probably continue using it and see what happens. It is entirely possible that I am just in one of my breakout stages that nothing except some good ole benzoyl peroxide will take care of.

Bottom line: I like it. I'm still not exactly sure what it does for my skin, but just as a moisturizing light coverage, I like it!

I was provided this product free of charge from BzzAgent
