Hello everyone, I hope day is treating you well. I am a
little free today so decided to post bunch of reviews since I don’t get to do
them often. So this specific post is review/ comparison between Loreal True match
BB cream vs. Garnier BB cream.
BB cream stands for beauty balms that are slightly liquidy
creamy in texture that are for sole purpose of enhancing the look of skin
making it more fair, glowing, smooth and moisturize. Imagine combination of
moisturizer, foundation and illuminator together and bam! You have your BB
cream ready. I like BB creams more than foundation for a lot many reasons:
1)
Light coverage
2)
Moisturizer
3)
Can be used everyday
4)
Does make my face dry or cakey
I go for foundation only when I need heavy coverage and some
special occasion awaits and for the rest of the days BB cream has become a
must.
So enough babbling lets dive in the review/comparison.
Garnier BB cream comes only in one shade if my facts are
right which might seem weird since we all have different skin tone but here is
why I like it, you don’t need many shades since it will work as a moisturizer
and illuminator without foundation effect. What I mean by that is, its soul
purpose is to give our face a fresh look, more dewy like but it has no skin
color. Once you pat the cream on your skin, it will quickly absorb in skin give
it a glow but no added fairness. You will understand when you see the swatches
down below.
The consistency is flowy and application is super easy. It
does not dry up as quickly as you put on your skin giving few seconds to pat as
required.
Price: Rs 175
Qty: 40 g
Expiry date: 36 months
Packaging is sturdy as well.
Loreal Paris True Match BB cream review:
I have mixed feeling about this cream. Some days I love it
others not so much. The consistency is more firm, cream like. It is easy to
apply and pat onto the skin. The problem with this cream is sometimes it makes
my face looks cakey because it lacks more moisturizing properties and has more
foundation properties.
It makes my face look bright, more finished but I have to apply
a good amount of moisturizer underneath.
Price: Rs 595
Qty:30 ml
Expiry date: 12 months
It comes in 3 shades,
Cool tone: ivory N1
Neutral: gold G2
Warm tone: honey beige
