Greetings Dear Readers!!!
Today I am going to review two of the most popular budget BB creams in India:
1. Maybelline Clearglow Bright Benefit Cream.
2. Garnier B.B Cream.
My skin type
Medium tone, wheatish. Acne-prone and Sensitive Skin.
What is a BB cream?
It is a cream used to treat blemishes and imperfections of the skin resulting in healthy looking skin.
M = Maybelline BB Cream.
G = Garnier BB Cream.
1. Shades
M - It has three shades- Nude, Natural and Radiance.
G - It has only one shade.
2. Price
M - Rs.199/- for 18ml.
G - Rs. 99/- (Introductory offer) for 18g and 199 for 40g.
3. Texture
For both the brands:
It is of semi thick liquid state.
M - Gives sheer to medium coverage.
G - Gives very very sheer coverage.
5. Finish
For both the brands:
You get a glowy healthy looking skin.
6. Packaging
For both the brands:
Comes in a small tube with a nozzle.
7. How to Apply
For both the brands:
Mix about a pea size with your moisturizer and apply dots on your face and neck and rub
in circular motion outwards.
8. Fragrance
M - It smells like.. mild vanilla? But not overpowering so do not worry.
G - It smells fresh and mildly fruity, but again not overpowering.
9. Woohoo's and Boo's
For Maybelline BB Cream
Woohoo's:
>>My skin looks even toned and glowy after application.
>>Stays for around 1 hour in outside mildly warm environment but after that leaves your skin with dewy finish.
>>Squeezing the product out can be totally controlled.
>>It is travel friendly.
>>Very lightweight on your skin.
>>Its good for daily wear as well as for summers since it has SPF 21.
Boo's:
>>IT BROKE ME OUT :(
>>Only three shades available, will definitely not suit all skin colors. I was lucky enough to get one closer to my skin shade (02 Radiance).
>>It doesn't treat your skin, its just for instant perfection.
>>It wont control sebum on face, you could set it with finishing powder.
*But i dont mind it, hence i skip the powder!
>>PLEASE do not apply this directly, any skin type, it will look flaky on your skin.
*Do not worry if it looks ghostly immediately after application, it will seep into your skin sooner.
Final Verdict:
Its perfect for those days you dont want anything on your skin and still want your skin to look almost perfect. But, I guess it wasnt just made for my skin obviously because it broke me out! Hence i will not be repurchasing this.
For Garnier BB Cream
Woohoo's:
>>It didnt break me out. Yay!
>>My skin looks even toned and fresh after application.
>>Stays for about 1 hour in outside mildly warm environment but after that leaves your skin fresh.
>>Squeezing the product out can be totally controlled.
>>It is travel friendly.
>>Very lightweight on your skin.
>>Its good for daily wear as well as for summers since it has SPF 24.
Boo's:
>>Only one shade available :|.
>>Do not apply this directly, any skin type, it will look flaky on your skin.
>>It wont control sebum on face, you could set it with finishing powder.
>>It is very very very sheer as compared to Maybelline's BB Cream.
Final Verdict:
I dont mind if it doesnt give me proper coverage, but the overall look of my skin looks fresh. I loved the product and i liked its finish, ofcourse not better than Maybelline but atleast this didnt break me out. Hence, i will be repurchasing this.
Which one's your favourite? Or do you have another?

Thanks for review. I am a big fan of Maybelline products. I will surely buy this one. I prefer to read review before buying any cosmetics products

Sorry to hear that one of the creams reacted so badly with your skin. Those are two top brands, so we might be tempted to not test them. At least, with your reminder we will take the proper precautions when trying a new BB cream.
ReplyDeletethanks for the reviews! great to know! :D
