So i finally got around to trying out Garnier’s new so called ‘miracle’ B.B. Cream.
It sold out within a day of launching on Superdrug’s website and twitter was buzzing with people talking about it, trying to get their hands on it and asking questions about it.
The day after it launched i excitedly hopped over to superdug and bought the Miracle Skin Perfector in Light.
Garniers Miracle Skin Perfector is Inspired by the latest Asian skincare sensation- B.B. creams, or Blemish Balms to give them their full name (Took me ages to work out what the B.B stood for!)
The cream comes in two shaded, light and medium and claims to be;
An all in one skincare solution that immediately perfects your skin. The light, non-greasy formula gives an even skin tone with a healthy glow, blurs imperfections and redness, smoothes the appearance of fine lines, hydrates for 24 hours and helps protect with SPF 15.
I can see why people were excited about this product with all those claims!
The Results:

| Before (No Make Up) |
I was actually quite disappointed with this product.
For a cream that is meant to be light and non greasy, i found it both heavy and greasy.
That said i do tend to have quite oily skin, so on someone with dry/ extra dry skin the cream may well be perfect.
I bought the Light shade but found that this was a little too dark for my skin and i found myself worrying about the dreaded tide mark on my neck showing!
You can see from the photo on the left that the result of wearing the cream alone left my with a more even tone and healthy glow, but it also left my skin feeling and looking rather greasy.
To combat this i tried applying my MAC Blot Powder in Medium over the top to take the shine off (see left photo)- which worked, but i was left feeling a little like i had caked my make up on, which somewhat defeated the idea of a light, tinted moisturising esq product.
Perhaps after using it long term i would be able to get on better with it, but i just found it too heavy and oily for my skin. Sorry Garnier!
You can try it for yourself for £9.99 from Superdrug.
