GARNIER B.B CREAM - Miracle skin perfector Review

Ever since I saw Deepika padukone shouting "BB" "BB" in her ads on TV, I wanted to try this BB cream. I   Checked lots of reviews on BB cream online and I was satisfied that all the reviews gave positive opinions. So I went shopping and got the small one. Before I tell you about my experience let's see what the lotion claims to do to your skin.

Product Description:

Is B.B. Cream right for me?

Yes, if you are looking for skin care that instantly and effectively helps make your skin perfect, which is:

• Fairer
• Glowing
• Smooth
• Even toned
• Moisturised

Ok, I'm not into typing all the details printed at the back of the tube, so here's the picture of it.

Ingredients:

Shelf life:

36 months.

Price:

Rs:99 for 18 g.

Cap:

The cap is removable and it's less messier than flip flop caps.

Swatch:

 Before

After

(This is my friend's hand :P)

My Experience:

Once I put it on my skin, it gave a dewy finish to my skin with instant brightness and as
time passed by it made my face glow that's not at all artificial. My face looked naturally
bright the whole day when I applied it. I thought it wouldn't be any use under sun. But
believe me, the sun actually made my skin look even better. It's gives a perfect look if you
want to pose for the camera. This B.B cream gives sheer coverage and doesn't cover dark 

spots or blemishes but definitely gives a smooth finish with light coverage which is ideal 

for work and  college going ladies. But, I didn't like this B.B cream! That must come as a
shock after all the  good points I gave you. Yet after removing the B.B cream from my
face, my skin started to get bumps and small eruptions that I never ever had in my life. And
when I first applied it, I felt a stinging sensation in my skin.  I thought I was the only one
having all the bad reactions but I asked my friend, who's also using garnier B.B cream, told
me that she felt the stinging sensation while applying and also have got small eruptions on
her skin. I don't think this counts as a miracle because it definitely didn't perfect my skin.

Pros:

• Gives a dewy finish.
• Makes the skin glow.
• Has SPF 24.
• Ideal for light makeup occasions.
• Doesn't make your skin look overly made up.
• Sinks into the skin.
• Does not get patchy.
• Cheap.

Cons:

• Causes allergic reactions.
• Gives sheer coverage, so does not cover blemishes.
• Stings when applied.

My verdict:

I can't believe its dermatologically tested. If you value the health of your skin, stay away 

from this one.

My rating: 2.5/5

BANJARA’S SAFFRON GEL

I wanted to buy Banjara’s face wash, so I went to a super market to hunt it down with my friend. When we entered the face wash section we were happy to see just the last two of Banjara’s face washes. I happily paid the bill and after reaching home put the face wash gel in to my hand, put it on my face and waited for it to lather. To my disappointment it didn't lather. Then I looked at the package and realized how stupid I had been. Coz, It’s a Face GEL!! :P I felt foolish in the beginning but still gave the gel a try. To my surprise I loved the gel. Now this gel is my favorite night cream/gel.

My Experience:

I started with this gel with no hope but as I said earlier this thing surprised me. The gel was so good that my skin started to feel even and my face became very smooth, shiny. I was totally caught by surprise as I never expected this and I've been using it for around three months now and believe me, my skin doesn’t break out. I have sensitive skin but the gel is really soothing calming and best for people with sensitive skin like me. But I don’t believe in the fairness claim. It evens out the skin but not much help in the fairness department.

Pros:

1. Evens out the skin.
2. Leaves the skin smooth and soft.
3. Doesn't break out my skin.
4. Removes the oiliness from the skin.
5. Gives a cool sensation.
6. Has a mild fragrance.
7. Suitable for all skin type.

Cons:

1. Doesn't satisfy the claim of fairness.
2. Doesn’t have spf. So if you are wearing it as moisturiser before make up you definitely need to apply sunscreen.

Is it worth re buying?? Yes (Suits all skin types)

My rating: 4/5 (I took 1 for the fairness claim)
