Garnier BB cream - now at Di

BB creams - blemish balms - are the latest craze in skin care, apparently originally created for post-surgery patients, they are widely popular in Asia. I got a sample at Di yesterday, so I decided to try it out. It is a sheer tinted moisturizer, with a light texture, nice smell and really sheer coverage, which you can use under your foundation. They call it a Miracle Skin Perfector (well done, marketing guys :-0). It contains vitamin C + mineral pigments, it is priced at 15 EUR for 50 ml.

It promises:

• quick-break micro-sphere polymers that break instantly upon contact with the skin, releasing an intense burst of moisture for a refreshing, lightweight texture
• an intensely hydrating formula that combines lipidure, hyaluronic acid and glycerin for 24 hour moisturisation.
• SPF15 to protect against the harmful effects of the sun and premature skin aging, antioxidant vitamin C and stimulating caffeine
• a light, non-greasy formula containing mineral pigments. It helps to even skin tone and create a natural, naked finish that blurs imperfections and smoothes the appearance of fine lines
