    Which is the best BB cream?
    i need to get a BB cream from boots... so i will give a list of the ones i can get there


    i currently use the garnier one which i like a lot AND IT DOES NOT BREAK ME OUT but it's running out and it's time to invest in a new one and i don't know whether to branch out and try a new one or just stick with the garnier one.. are any of these better?


    Garnier
    Sanctuary
    No7
    L'Oreal nude Magique
    Maybelline
    L'Oreal Revitalift
    Une Intuative Touch
    17


    if they break you out i'm not interested, because foundation usually breaks me out so i don't want anything like that.


    again not interested in anything online so no Missha or the like etc. thank you!

    I've used the No7 one in the past and it was ok but the lightest colour they have was too dark for me really. I'm on Garnier now and really like it. Smells nice too!

    I'm afraid I can't offer any form of comparison, because I only own one. I have the No7 BB cream normal/dry skin in fair. I wrote a more lengthy review about it on my beauty blog (http://annabellacinderella.blogspot....-bb-cream.html) but I've been using it pretty much daily since I got it and I really like it. To be honest I don't normally break out anyway, but this certainly hasn't caused me to do so. I did end up going for this one largely because of the £5 off No7 voucher, but I also liked that it caters for different skin shades and types.

    Garnier, although I remember having to moisturise first as it didnt do my dry skin justice hmph.
    Gives a glowing sheer finish, quite nice

    If you get one that is non-comedegenic it means that it will not clog your pores (therefore will not give you spots)

    You guys should really try Korean BB cream. I'm Korean myself and it's basically worn by every single female student, and some males. They're the best quality since the whole thing started there - and when I mean 'thing', I mean craze. The Western world are about 4-5 years late...lol.
    I'd recommend Missha BB creams:

    Especially this one.

    Agree! I love Korean BB cream
    I've been an avid fan of BB cream since 2007. My first ever BB cream was from Coogi, after which i tried out others before settling down with Dr.Jart.

    Isn't the shade choice pretty limited though? As in very pale or pink?

    I am around a MAC NC30-35 with very yellow/golden skin, although most BB creams don't tend to cater for skin of this colouring. Which is odd since some of my East Asian friends are of similar colouring, so there is a market for this shade.
