Garnier was smart enough to be one of the first drugstore brands to come out with a BB Cream-and I just had to try it! BB Creams are a phenomenon in Asia, and now women in the U.S. are bonkers for them! BB stands for beauty or blemish balm, combining numerous skincare ingredients to not only make the skin look good on the outside, but help to heal it. Of course, purchasing a more expensive brand may have higher quality ingredients and results, but I love the idea that anyone  can afford to get their hands on a BB Cream, at the drugstore or prestige level.

The back of the bottle doesn’t have ingredients, which was weird, so I found them online for you.

A lot of these ingredients I do not recognize, but you can look them up online for their purposes. Essentially, there are skin conditioners, fragrance, and colorants- just different types. Also, remember when reading ingredient lists that the ingredients are listed from highest percentage, to lowest percentage.

I find this BB cream to work great for my foundation routine! I find it a touch too pink-toned for my skin, but I just blend it along my jaw. I wish they had a bigger color selection for ladies of all skin tones, too! It is a very thick consistency, but not cakey, which I LOVE. This baby feels ultra-light on my skintone, similar to a tinted moisturizer, but with more coverage. I am so glad I don’t have to rock a full face of foundation now in this heat! It goes on quite dewy, but that’s nothing a little powder can’t get rid of!

You can find Garnier’s BB cream for around $12.99 at many drugstores and mass-retailers.

Hope that my mini-review helped you ladies out! This is becoming my summer staple!
