Garnier BB Cream Review, Swatches and Comparision with Maybelline BB Cream
I know this is quite an outdated review for many of you..I am very late..but nonetheless..better late than never..
What the Company claims:
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.99/- for 18g, Rs.199/- for 40g
It comes in a small tube packaging..thats almost the size of your palm..quite similar to the Maybelline BB Cream..has the same small nozzle type dispensor..
Unfortunately Garnier one comes in only one shade..does suit me well..and anyone around NC 35-40 should not have much of a problem..above that, it might be a little lighter..but I guess it would blend up well.
Its light in texture as claimed and is moisturising too (but dry skin would need added moisture)..has SPF 24 UVA/UVB protection..covers up redness and evens skin tone..medium coverage..and stays for 3-4 hours after which it starts getting shiny and needs touch up.
Maybelline comes in 3 shades (that have yellow undertones) and Garnier has one shade (might be lighter for people above NC 40)..Maybelline has SPF 21 and Garnier has SPF 24, Maybelline is more creamier and works better for dry skin, Garnier would work more for oily skin, Coverage wise Maybelline offers a tad bit more coverage.
T-B: Garnier BB, Maybelline BB in Nude
I loved using this and it was a staple until I found my love..another BB Cream..would review soon..
I do recommend this for oily combination skin and who do not need much coverage..its handy, economical and works well.
Rating:
Quality: 3.75/5 Value for money: 4/5 Availability: 4/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
Would I buy it again: Yes..I do like it..but as I said I have found my love and I think I would stick to that..wait up for that 😀
