FRESH FACED
Look good, not broke.
Many skincare products only promise one thing - hydration, blemish control, color control, or sun protection. If you're lucky, you get 2/4 - but it's expensive.
The "new" arrival of BB Cream on American shores our latest beauty obsession because it covers everything on your face - literally and figuratively. Created in Germany as an aid for laser surgery patients, the formula then spread to Asia, where Korean actresses swore by it. Finally, it hits drugstore shelves here this month.
BB Creams for $75 or more are common, but we got our hands on Garnier’s Blemish Balm Cream, which has a tint (you can go light/medium or medium/dark), a moisturizer, and a sunscreen.
You can pick up a tube of this stuff at the drugstore for $12, and test the global phenomenon before investing in a big jar for the longterm.

If anyone reading this lives in Canada, the makeup brand Marcelle also sells a BB Cream that is hypoallergenic an non-comedogenic. You can get it at London Drugs & Shoppers Drug Mart.

I bought this to "test" out a BB Cream to see if it's as great as everyone said. I found Garnier's to be far too thick and dark (I had the light/medium color) plus it was very perfume-y.
I ended up investing in a Korean BB cream by Skin 79 later on (not really "investing" as it was only around $20) and I love it. It's thin, but buildable and provides great coverage. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now and dark spots on my skin have visibly lightened too. So I wouldn't recommend Garnier's, but I would recommend doing some research and getting an Asian BB cream!
