So basically I have a borderline-unhealthy addiction to cosmetics so when I heard that Garnier were offering free samples of their new BB Miracle Skin Perfector I couldn't resist trying it out! I'm a massive fan of cult beauty product, Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and as I'd heard that Garnier's BB Cream was a similar product that's much easier on the purse I couldn't wait for my freebies to arrive. They took a few weeks but I was really pleased when they finally appeared on my doormat...3 1.5ml sachets and a £1 off voucher for a full-size tube, which retails for £9.99 at Boots and Superdrug (not sure about the US sorry!)
So Garnier describe this product as "an all-in-one, super dooper, anytime, anywhere skincare solution for perfected skin" and promise that the mineral enriched formula offers sheer coverage that blurs imperfections, softens lines and makes skin look luminous, smoother and more even. It also has SPF 15...always a bonus!
I should probably say that I have super oily/blemish prone skin and like a full coverage foundation with a primer underneath (currently Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation worn over Clarins Beauty Flash Balm) and as this product is very sheer, personally, I wouldn't wear it alone (if you're lucky enough to have lovely skin then I'm sure you could!) Instead I've been using my BB Cream as a primer and I love it! It has a lovely light-weight texture, melts into my skin without making it oily and I really feel like it evens my skin tone! I'm not sure its as brightening as Clarins Beauty Flash Balm but for a drugstore/high street product I'm definitely not complaining! It also sits really well under my foundation and wears well throughout the day, Garnier suggest using the product for touch ups during the day, I haven't tried that yet but I'll definitely give it a go!
All in all I would highly recommend this product if you're looking for a good, reasonably priced primer! You can read more about BB Miracle Skin Perfector at http://www.garnier.co.uk/_en/_gb/BB-cream/index.aspx and if you've already tried the product you can leave a review for the chance to win a year's magazine subscription...more freebies...yey!
I'm no Fleur De Force but I hope that's helpful!
