Garnier BB cream

So this BB cream (sorry can't do links on phone)- I am thinking I could do with some, I'm pregnant, very tired and keep being told I look peaky Sad

So it is basically a tinted moisturiser, right? So I won't need to use other moisturiser or any foundation with it?

Yep, it's everything. There's another thread somewhere, where we all got samples and commented on them. Hang on...

I love it. I use the light shade and it really perks up my skin, also super fast as no need for moisturiser or foundation.

It does say you can use it as a primer so if you prefer more coverage then it will just pep up your skin pre foundation.

Here you go.

I like how refreshed it makes my skin look, but think it is slightly thicker than a normal 'tinted moisturiser'. It makes me look a tiny bit orange if I don't blend it in properly.

I don't think much of it, it makes my skin very shiny and doesn't really cover up anything, but then I've never used tinted moisturiser before so I'm comparing it with foundation.

Can't open the link on my phone but will check it out later. Thanks.

Do you think it will be ok for my skin type? I've got combinationy type skin, generally trouble free but prone to spots when I'm run down (which I am at the moment)

Hopeless on oily combination skin.

I found it too orangey. I use Mama Mio Mighty Moisture (www.mamamio.com/uk/face/mighty-moisture.html/) then Liz Earle Skin Tint, and I've never been so dewy in my life! BB reams - PAH! ;-)

I normally use this tinted moisturiser and the garner bb gives much more coverage. To me it doesn't seem very moisturising though. I got the light colour and it's very dark, far too dark for me. It also has a very perfumed smell, and I might be a bit sensitive to smells but it made me feel sick!
