Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Review !





Hey Guys 

Hope you’re all doing great 

Today I thought I’d review one of my recent loved products that has been around for along time .

The garnier BB cream , I think was one of the first western bb creams to hit the market a while back .




Iam sure most of you tried it at some point , here are some info from the garnier website 



Description:
Save time with just one multi-benefit product that offers advanced skincare + immediate skin perfecting coverage. This hybrid formula renews radiance, brightens complexion, evens skin tone, hydrates and protects with SPF15 UVA/UVB sunscreen. Get results you can see and feel instantly.





  • Renews, Brightens, Evens, Hydrates, Protects
  • SPF 15
  • Dermatologist tested










  • What I Think :

    The Consistency of this BB cream is rather thick it’s not runny at all .

      The coverage is sheer and natural looking so if you don’t suffer from spots and acne marks this would be great but if you do, you can always use a concealer to get a flawless face , I have some redness and pink undertones to my skin and this bb cream helps evening out my complexion . 

    I Do pair it with the garnier tinted eye roll on and I love the result the 2 products give me .









    It also gives the skin a healthy glow and a dewy finish as it’s so moisturizing , so it may not be the best base for oily skin in the summer time but u can always do what I do and set it with some sheer finishing powder and you’ll be good to go.









    The Shades Selection is Very Bad , comes in 3 shades , having  fair skin I got the lightest shade and it turned out to be little dark.

    I’ve also noticed that it does help minimize the appearance of my pores which is one of the promised things on the box .

    Staying power is medium I’d say , it looks good for like 5 hours then my skin gets oily as it does with any foundation , so I use a blotting paper and that’s it .

    It didn’t break me out or irritate my sensitive skin .













    Conclusion :

    This BB cream is not half bad if you’re looking to try a western inexpensive BB cream , it’s definitely worth trying and you may end up loving It ! it’s so easy to use and looks very very natural .



    Will I Buy This Again ? 

    Yes 





    What's your favorite Western BB cream ?

    Review : NIVEA Visage Anti-Wrinkle Q10 Plus Eye Cream


    hey guys

    along time ago i was on a hunt for a good eye cream when i spotted this at my local drugstore 
    today i wanna talk about the Nivea Q10 eye cream 


    and iam now on blog lovin
    <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3866455/?claim=uz8vna9sk4v">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>



    Description :

     

    This hydrating eye cream supports your skin's natural Q10, for smoother, younger looking skin and minimized dark under-eye circles.

     

    What I Think :

    this eye cream is light and not greasy at all , provides a light moisture for the eye area , i can't say it's the most moisturizing eye cream there is but it keeps the skin around your eyes soft .

    it brightened up my eye area and after a a month of using   i noticed that some of my laugh lines have disappeared ! not too shabby for a cheap eye cream , i actually can't remember how much it cost !

    this cream is targeted towards people in their mid twenties to early thirties , it also doesn't sting the eyes .

     

    7/10

    it's worth trying 

     

    would i repurchase ?

    not for now because i still wanna try new eye creams

    REVIEW : Figs & Rouge 100% Organic Balm Rambling Rose

















    Figs & Rouge 100% Organic Balm Rambling rose

     

    Ingredients
    Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parki Fruit Butter, Cera Alba, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, *Citral, *Geraniol, *Linalool, *Citronellol, *Limonene (Organically Produced)
    * (Naturally occurring component of essential oils)






    What i Think
    i ordered this balm a while ago from feelunique.com
    this is an all purpose organic balm that can be used for lips , face and body .
    i mainly bought this to use it as a lip balm but i have also used it on my cuticles   .
    i actually only bought it coz of its pretty package design  , but i find the container a little hard to open sometimes .











    the product comes in a small tin container that has the prettiest vintage design on it , the balm it self is grainy , you kind of feel these tiny grains when u apply it on your lips , not that it bothered me .

    the smell is a little over powering for me , i didn't care for it but it does moisturize the lips and gets rid of dry patches .

    it also works great as a cuticle softener .









    Pros :

    moisturizes lips 
    great for cuticles
    gets rid or dty patches
    100% organic 



    Cons :

    Annoying smell
    the tin container can be a little hard to open  





    have you guys tried any balms from figs & rouge ?
