Hello, lovelies! Today, I'm thrilled to share my thoughts on two BB creams I recently purchased from the renowned drugstore brand, Garnier. As a beauty enthusiast, I believe that a good BB cream is an essential addition to any makeup routine, providing a flawless foundation finish with the added benefits of skincare. So, without further ado, let's dive into my review and explore the unique qualities of each product.
So here are the full names of creams we are going to discuss today!
- #1. Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One B.B Light, SPF 15
- #2. Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Hell (light) with Matte Effect, SPF 20
Packaging
- Daily all-in-one, 50 ml. It looks like usual hand cream, the cover is tight, you don`t need to twist it off, it saves some time! When you squeeze it out, the excess product comes off, not very comfortable, but the cover stays clean.
- All-in-one with Matt-Effect 40 ml. The bottle is longer & thinner. It`s very comfortable to apply it because the package is really nice. Maybe my bottle had some defects, but when you squeeze it out cover gets dirty, with an excess of product.

Texture and Fragrance
- The first cream smells good but has a strong fragrance of alcohol. It is very oily, and sticky, and feels like a mask on the face (gets inside pores and wrinkles), especially after you set it with powder. You can forget to apply it with a foundation brush. The lightest tone didn't match me, was darker than my skin.
- The second one is more light and watery. Has a strong smell of alcohol, but the flavor on the skin is nice. Covers imperfections very nicely. Looks great with powder. This light tone fits my skin almost perfectly.
Final Verdict...
Lightweight BB cream is a good alternative to an expensive full-coverage makeup foundation. It does a few tasks per step: protects skin from the sun, covers imperfections, and moisturizes your skin. Both creams cost approximately the same price $10, but Matte Effect fits my skin better.
The first one is like a winter variant or variant for dry and very dry skin. The second one is summer cream or variant for people with normal or oily skin. Both have alcohol inside, so it could irritate sensitive facial skin.
Lots of love,
Liz
