Product Review - Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector AKA Garniers BB Cream

It seems Australia is catching onto the BB cream bandwagon, and i'm kinda glad because I don't think I would have ever tried them out otherwise. I was lucky when I picked this product up in Priceline it was a cheap introductory price of around $10, not that the full price is too hard on the pockets but I sometimes like to save a bit especially if i'm just trying out a product. I got it in the Light colour as well.



Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector makes a lot of claims...

Discover the BB Cream secret - a new generation of skincare that combines the best of skincare with the benefits of make-up in one application! New Miracle Skin Perfector has a lightweight formula with vitamin C and mineral pigments to deliver long-lasting hydrating care with SPF15 UV filters and a light touch of make-up for instantly visible, radiant results. Quickly & perfectly it unifies, corrects, brightens, moisturises & protects! - from the Garnier website



Initially when I tried this product, i'll be honest I hated it! I even had that dread that I was going to have to write a bad review about it, then I decided to give it another go in a different way. Okay so as a everyday cream/foundation type thing this product does not work for me as it gives me NO coverage whatsoever not even a tiny bit. How does it shine? As a primer!! Yep, put this baby on underneath your foundation and see your skin glow, especially perfect for my fellow dry skin girls out there. So thankfully this one isn't going to see the inside of my bin.



See...no coverage :)

Would you like to buy it? Well it's available at all the usual Garnier stockists for a RRP $13.95AUD

 

Share the Happy with Clarins

Don't you just love that feeling when you get a compliment or a lovely comment from a complete stranger? It makes you smile right? Well not to be too corny corn but everytime I get a comment here I get that smile because people I haven't even met take the time to say something lovely to me.... I appreciate it.

So when I was contacted to tell you all about this new campaign by Clarins, I couldn't resist because it's right up my alley! In conjuction with the launch of their new Daily Energising skincare line they have created a website



Share the Happy - go on click it, I dare you!

What you do is give a compliment to a random person, and Share The Happy. Go on do it, even if you just read the compliments already on the website i'm sure you'll get warm and fuzzies in no time. You can also go on there and grab a free sample of the new Daily Energiser Products!

I have also been using one of the products from the line, the Clarins Daily Energiser Cream-Gel to be specific. These products are targeted for younger skin, so ages 17-25... yes I am a little older then that bracket but this moisturiser has actually been great on my few years older then that skin :).

First off the bat, the smell... Love it! It's fruity and well, energising! The actual product is quite light so it sinks into the skin quickly which for me is a must because I don't have the time in the morning to wait for my moisturiser to sink in. It makes my skin glow! Yes my slightly older then 25 skin is glowing without the use of an illuminating product, I even got commented on it the other day (not by a stranger, but I still smiled at the compliment.. They were Sharing The Happy though!)

This product reminds me of a Nivea moisturiser I used years and years ago that has since been discontinued (like my head at the moment because I can't remember the name of it!) The price of the Clarins Daily Energiser Cream-Gel is a quite affordable $38AUD and can be purchased from any Clarins counters (think Myer, DJ's etc) and www.adorebeauty.com.au

There are also cleansers and a toner in this range, so check them out too.







So don't forget to Share The Happy :)
