Mumsnet Talk

I'm going shopping in the morning and fancy trying a BB cream. I've seen people on here talk about Garnier and No 7.

Which one is best? Or is there another I don't know about?

Ta muchly

I have the No17 one, much cheaper then the others and I find it really good.

Not too greasy but not too heavy and chalky.

Haven't tried the others.

Ive tried the garnier one - it is nice, dewy but not sticky with very sheer coverage.

There is an Estee Lauder one and if you use this link and pay £1.50 via text you can get a 5m trial of it

Big ole bump

The Boots No.17 one brought me out in spots.

I'm the opposite- No 7 and garnier caused me to break out, No 17 was OK.

Garnier good for me

The Estée Lauder lady gave me a large sample to try of the bb cream in the medium colour. Will report back. I usually just wear bronzer tho did buy a bobbi brown tinted moisturiser but it is the wrong colour- too pale. They might take it back?

No17 is good for me and I only paid £4.99 for it when it was on offer.

I like the Garnier one.

Bought the Garnier one today on offer in Boots so can't report back until tomorrow

I have the garnier one and I do find it sticky. But. It evens out my skin tone really well and I haven't had a blemish in the 4 months I have been using it, so I put up with the stickiness.

I use the Garnier one - it's great

Another Garnier fan here.

Garnier has been fine for my sensitive skin too. I was surprised how much I like it.

Last cheeky bump before I head in to town

I use the Garnier one and there is a definite improvement when I've used it!

Loving the Garnier one, but need the light shade when normally would buy medium, good natural coverage. Have just bought the No7 and it is a lighter (not colour) coverage, also good but may keep for the summer during the day.

I have to say I am far more pleased with the effect of the Garnier one on my skin than I thought I'd be

The Garnier one was great in the summer - light, dewy, sheer, good coverage, but I've stopped using it in Winter as it's just too dark. Good product though I think. If you are going to get one, I'd definitely err on the safe side and get the "Fair" shade unless you're particularly olive skinned and retain colour in winter.

What is a bb cream?

Garnier one broke me out and looked orange, but I do have quite sensitive, pale skin.

Thank god for that Harlot . The same was going through my mind too!

BB cream is beauty balm, Usually a primer, moisturiser and foundation all in one.

Garner one is good for me.
