RLR Must: Garnier B.B. Cream

A long, long time ago, I would leave the house without a stitch of makeup on.  My skin was radiant, there wasn't a fine line in sight and makeup, to me, just seemed like a time-wasting nuisance.  Several years and a few kids later and the sun, stress and sleepless nights have all taken their toll on my once-radiant face. 

I've been hearing the rumblings of Asia's best-kept beauty secret for years and was dying to try out the 'miracle cream' that so many women all over the world swear by.  B.B. Creams (B.B = Beauty or Blemish Balm) claim to even, correct, brighten, protect (with SPF) and hydrate all at once, so where we once needed four products, we now only need one.  Since the product is new to Canada, I got in touch with Garnier to send me a sample of their brand new B.B. to test-drive.

In a word?  Miraculous.  It sits somewhere between a tinted moisturizer and foundation in terms of coverage so it's sheer enough to look natural but still provide coverage.  It makes you look radiant (thanks to the Vitamin C & Caffeine), glowy and healthy and takes literally 30 seconds to apply.  It won't entirely cover blemishes or really dark spots  (so you'll still need a concealer for that) but it's the best solution I've found so far for a quick & easy facelift when you only have 5 minutes to get out the door, 

Are lack of sleep and lack of time making you feel a little lacklustre, too?  Enter on my Facebook page to win your own bottle of Garnier's B.B. Cream.  I'm telling you, it's a total game-changer.
