BB Cream
I am in my early 40's and looking at BB creams, especially for the winter. I am not anticipating a ton of coverage...I have my $30.00 Elizabeth Adren sponge foundation with Olay I use if I want really good coverage. I want something that covers a little and has some moisturizer/SPf. Any rec? A sales associate at CVS who claimed to be around my age said that the Garnier seems to be for the younger people (though she looked to be in her 50's). Has anyone tried any of the Olay, Loreal, Revlon or even the Garnier? I am a SAHM just looking to give my complexion a little lift while I am out doing errands/picking up the kids etc.

Re: BB Cream
I have been using the revlon for a few weeks, I'm not in love with it, I would like a little bit more coverage- I feel like it's not doing anything my skin still looks blotchy.

Re: BB Cream
I've used Garnier and found it to be WAY to greasy. I use the L'Oreal BB cream and that's been my favourite so far!

Re: BB Cream
I am almost 40 and love the Garnier.
I have tried about 8 different BB creams and always end up back at Garnier.
In the winter I use the regular, because it is more moist.
In the summer, when my skin is more oily, I use the oil free version.
I tried the new anti aging version and didn't care for the coverage.
I can't live without this stuff. i have god awful skin- I mean horrendous in terms of large pores, old acne scars, etc...and this stuff makes a huge difference for me.

The oil free Garnier is much better if you are looking for a less greasy feel.

I like Boscia from sephora. Also Ren. For even less coverage, I like Urban Decay.

Re: BB Cream
I agree the garnier can feel greasy but I love it bc its so hydrating and just a dot of loose powder over it is wonderful for the dry winter months

I do find it stays put much better too- because it's not sliding off your face from the oil.
But in the dead of winter like this I was noticing my skin was looking a bit dry so I switched back to the original. Once it gets just a bit warmer I will go back to the oil free. I like the matte finish

Re: BB Cream
I'll have to give the Garnier oil free a go. I need a light colour though…their lightest shade in regular made me orange.

I find the oil free one is lighter in color for some reason so you might be ok.

Awesome! I'll try it out! The Loreal works ok for me but I'll bet I can find better.

Re: BB Cream
Estee Lauder makes a new Double Wear BB cream. I had a sample of it and it was awesome!! Best coverage I have ever had in a BB cream, and I've tried a lot of them. I plan on going back and buying it.

Another huge fan of the Garnier oil free BB cream here too. I love it more than any foundation I have ever used even.

Re: BB Cream
I love the Garnier but does anyone else's come unscrewed and leak all over everything? The cap doesn't stay on!
