Review: Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream!

So I recently found a little sample of this BB Cream in a magazine lately and I tried it out. I liked it so much that I actually ended up purchasing the full size, so I thought I should probably talk a little bit about the product.

The Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream is a mix between a tinted moisturizer and a foundation. It claims to brighten, renew, and hydrate your skin as you wear it. I purchased this in the shade Light/Medium, and I must say I definitely prefer it to both my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer and (gasp!) my Revlon Colorstay Foundation.

I'm going to try to keep this fairly quick - in short, I love this. It has more coverage than a typical tinted moisturizer but is not quite as heavy as a foundation, which I love. It comes out of the tube a very thick consistency, but when warmed up between the fingers it thins out and goes on extremely smoothly. In addition, it smells AMAZING - I can't even describe it, though if you are someone who doesn't like fragrance then I don't think this would be for you.

One other thing I loved about this was how well the colour blended into my skin. Though it seemed to be too dark at first, it matched perfectly well once I put it on!

 

This comes in two shades and is available at most drugstores for around $16 CAD. Would you ever try a BB Cream?
