I’ve heard so much good stuff about B.B. creams, but two months ago I had never even heard of such a thing. I did some research and tried some products. Keep reading to see if they’re worth the price.
I found out about B.B. creams from Lovelyish. I wrote a post over a month ago about some of my favorite beauty products, and a commenter suggested that I try B.B. creams. She said they were all the rage in Asia.
Since then, I have heard so many more good things about them. And I’ve seen multiple advertisements for these miracle creams. I am very skeptical so I thought this was all a scam. I was like, “This is too good to be true.”
Well, I have good news. The other day I got my monthly Cosmopolitan issue in the mail, and I was surprised to find a sample of B.B. cream with it and a coupon for the product. I was super excited! I love getting free samples! And this time, there were two samples. I got to try Garnier’s Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream in light/medium and medium/deep.
Yesterday, I tried the medium/deep sample but it was too dark for my complexion. But my skin looked so radiant, and I got hit on! (I haven’t got hit on in months!) Today, I opted for the light/medium, and it is perfect.
I am so pleased with this cream that I am buying some today! Not only does this cream make my skin radiant, it covers better than any foundation I’ve ever used. It combines everything in one. I don’t need concealer, primer, moisturizer or foundation. I just need this cream!! It stays on all day and keeps my skin looking so fresh and dewy. I love it. The Garnier brand B.B. cream sells for about $12. But considering that it puts everything in one, that is really cheap. (Right now, I pay $11 just for primer.)
This cream also smooths skin and helps even out skin-tone. I can’t wait to buy this product!
Have you tried a B.B. cream? What B.B. creams do you like?

I didn’t know B.B. Cream was getting popular in America, to the point that American brands are selling them now. I’ve always hated wearing any type of face makeup (they never matched my skin tone and always looked so fake) except for B.B. Cream. I was introduced to it by my Korean mother-in-law and now I’m hooked
guest
I’m going to pick some up today. I have red cheeks that need concealer, oily forehead and drrrry skin around my eyes. I’ve never found any products that help me, except regular generic moistureizer. I’m thinking this could be my very own miracle cream as well!

@crazypassions@xanga - Good luck! I hope this works as good for you as it does for me!

it is. it just sucks that they don’t have enough colors for it. even the asian bb creams don’t match me because they have this greyish pinkish undertone, and obviously we mostly have yellow undertones. meh.
guest
@KelseyReinhart - so far so good. it’s very soft feeling, which I like. I just hope it keeps my red cheeks in line!
guest
BB cream is a must have for me. Looove the skin 79 hot pink and the shills bb cream. If you guys are planning to buy the korean brand of bb creams on ebay, please be aware of fake ones! Do your research and before you purchase on ebay, check the sellers’ feedback. I would highly suggest buying them on amazon, the packaging may seem little but it’s totally worth it and it will last you for a long time!

@eatdrinkandbemaryy@xanga - THANK YOU!!!!! OMG I wanna try B.B cream so bad but color is an issue for everyone. In make up I’m like the darkest beige or the lightest bronze shade & I have pink undertones. It’s a bitch shopping for foundation & concealer so when I find a brand that works, I use it. So far I’ve found like 2 department store brands & 2 drug store brands of makeup that work for me. I WAS excited about Garnier’s B.B cream…until I saw it only had two fucking shades…
guest
I’ve never heard of B.B. cream before? But I’m sitting here like…you don’t need a concealer?! LOL. I might have to try this now. I hope the light works. I have SUPER fair skin with a pink undertone. It’s hard to find the right colors in drug store brands.
guest
hm… might have to try it. I hate the feeling of face makeup or heavy moisturizer though. Wonder how light it is
guest
I am extremely pale so it’s difficult for me to find makeup that works for my skin tone. I’d be willing to give this a shot if they had it in Ivory.

@eatdrinkandbemaryy@xanga - Have you tried Missha BB Creams? I’ve got really golden undertones (Vietnamese mom) and its the best BB Cream i’ve tried! Also good is Ylem BB Cream. Skin Food is good also. Their Aloe is a pretty good match for me, its pretty golden/yellow.
guest
@sinnersxsaints - @eatdrinkandbemaryy@xanga - Actually Missha BB creams were the most grey of all the ones I used. Try japanese brands, they tend to be more yellow. Right now I’m using nanoce which is quite yellow. It’s hard to find, though.

skin 79 hot pink bb cream = my to go to for every day look

I bought this exact BB cream a week ago and it is AMAZING. I have acne, which has also left behind scars from many years of suffering from the acne, and this cream covers the scars up really nicely. I put a little powder on too, because I find the cream is a little thick, but overall I highly rec this product. To any of the Canadian girls here is a $3 off coupon I found : ) http://www.garnier.ca/_en/_ca/special-offers/index.aspx

I’ve been wanting to buy it, but hadn’t really heard any review on it until now! Yay! Now I know it’s worth it. I’ll probably buy it sometime next week!

@sinnersxsaints – I’ve tried misscha and its soooo pinky grey. I’m just going to stick with my foundation with perfect color and coverage.
guest
@aheartofglitter@xanga - Thank you for your comment. I have had cystic acne and it scars really bad. My pores are also large, so I was wondering if this would cover it up…but I think you just sold it to me! LOL
guest
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been on the fence. There was an infomercial about it that used to play, then I saw Garnier was selling it. I am going to buy this, I think.

@firetyger@xanga - I am extremely pale too, as in Mac’s lightest foundations are a bit too dark for me. I use Garnier’s BB cream and it seems to work fine. At only $12, it’s worth trying.

Yep, I use this exact one. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have higher SPF. In fact, on one of my blogs about no-makeup to makeup, I have it on. I like it a lot.

I’ve wanted to try the Garnier one. I shall, the next time I go to Costco.
guest
Whenever I go drinking, I have BB cream on because I’m Asian and I tend to get the “asian glow.” When I wear BB cream, my asian glow becomes unnoticeable! I wear the Missha M Signature Real Complete BB cream in #21. It’s the lightest color, and it’s very moist on the skin.
guest
I love BB cream! It makes my skin look amazing, though even their lightest shade is too dark for me, so I only use it at night. During the day my skin looks yellow/fake tan-ish with it
guest
Has anyone used BRTC blemish recover balm? Any luck with it?
guest
haha YES, they ARE worth all the hype!

I don’t even know what a B.B cream is. If you look at the ingredients and can’t pronounce the names, let alone count how many there are, then this is not a good cream at all for your skin or your body.
guest
Damnit, I think I might need to try this.
guest
BB cream sounds great. I hate having to put on foundation on everyday since it’s like full coverage. Too bad most of these brands have limited shades. I wish they had one for Indian complexions
guest
… I get the feeling like BB cream is really intended for fairer skinned races…
no particular line I’ve heard of makes a decent BB cream for people who are dark mahogany/chocolate/coffee brown or anything darker than a medium Thai or medium Indian Asian complexion.
