Garnier:
Product: Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream. $12.
This was the first BB Cream I used. I bought it hoping it would live up the hype
of the Asian products. Sadly, it didn’t. Sure it did improve my skin tone, but
it wasn’t nothing more than a very heavy
tinted moisturizer. Plus, it only comes in two shades light/medium and
medium/deep. When I tried it on, I found out it was three shades too dark for
me. Not good. I wouldn’t recommend this product for someone with oily skin.
Though, if you have dry skin go for it.
L’Oreal:
Product: Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream. $7.99.
I bought this product last July and I fell in love. Like
Almay’s Smart Shade make-up it blends to you choose your shade (fair, light,
medium, and deep) and it blends to your skin tone. This cream has little beads
in it that leaves your face feeling soft. It’s pretty good at moisturizing as
well. The only downside is it has very little coverage. This is used for
evening skin tone, not covering imperfections. It can be used alongside a thin
layer of tinted moisturizer or a mineral foundation.
Maybelline:
Product: Dream Fresh BB Cream. $7.99
This is the cream I’m using right now. I’m liking the
coverage it’s giving me and it’s great for cold weather when your skin gets
dried out more easily. It has the greatest range of shades (light,
light/medium, medium, medium/deep, deep). I don’t like it as much as L’Oreal’s BB
Cream, but it does its job. However, I’ve only been using it a week. I don’t
think I can really give it an up or a down just quite yet.
