Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Light/Medium SPF 15


I was super excited to try this BB Cream. However, I was sadly let down. I had seen so many positive reviews of this and unfortunately, the negative ones didn't start popping up until after I had bought it and experienced the misery for myself.

The cream is slightly thick, not watery or anything, and spreads over the skin with actually pretty decent coverage, but it already feels oily and shiny, not smooth and fresh. You can really feel that it's on your skin. It feels very tacky. Ew.

The color was okay on me. I just had to make sure I smoothed it on to my neck, too, or else my face would look a tad orange-y (I have medium skin, too. I can't imagine this on someone really pale). 

I don't last for more than an hour without having to blot. By the end of the day, my face is just a grease slick no matter what mattifiers I use over and under it. By the end of the day, it completely is broken up into cakey patches on the skin. Horrible. 

This also broke me out, too. When I first started using it, little whiteheads started popping up on my forehead, and I usually don't get those, and I hadn't changed anything else. 

I have oily skin, so maybe for dry skins this would be better, but this just doesn't work for me, and I'll be giving away the rest to a friend who does like it (who doesn't have oily skin). For the price, about 13 bucks, I feel like I just wasted a ton of money.

If anyone has suggestions for a good drugstore BB for oily skin, please comment below!
