Wishlist - L'Oreal BB cream

Can you be product-curious? I believe you can :-) L'Oreal has released a ton of interesting products, at least judging by the stand at Di shop on Saturday. One of them is their version of a BB cream or creme nude magique. It is 30 ml and the price is set around 14 EUR. SPF 12, available in two shades, for light and medium toned skin.

Garnier BB Cream

So despite the popular belief, the BB creams, or beauty balms, blemish balms etc are not the second coming :-). Here I would like to give my two cents on Garnier's BB cream in light, 50 ml, 10 EUR, Kruidvat. I bought it on a hype, hoping it would be the miracle product (I will never stop trying :-)). The problem for me with this product is how shiny and oily it makes my skin look. It blends nicely into the skin, I tried using it as a sort of a primer, before I put my makeup on, but it peeps though any foundation and powder. Using it on its own is only for those who dare to bare it all, as the coverage is really light. I dont think I will repurchase it, yet, I do not hate it, the smell is nice and I am sure I will use it more in the summer as a tinted moisturizer.
