Last month I wrote a review on BB Creams and how they are the next big thing in beauty.  I had only been using the product for a couple of days and was head-over-heels for it.  Well, it’s been a month now and I thought it was about time to do a little follow-up to let you all know how everything is going.

I loved my Garnier BB Cream so much I went out and purchased a full size bottle of it.  It’s become a staple in my makeup bag and I don’t go a day without wearing it.  I won’t even leave my bathroom first thing in the morning without applying it.  To say I’m head-over-heels for it would be an understatement.  I simply can’t go without it anymore.  I’ve always had an issue with dry skin due to my eczema.  I would apply my moisturizer and foundation in the morning but by lunch time my face would be all dried out and the foundation would flake.  I couldn’t reapply the moisturizer without ruining all of my makeup and having to start all over again.  Not to mention that most foundations would start to irritate my skin over time and I’d have to find another brand.  I thought nothing was ever going to work for me.

Since I’ve started using Garnier BB Cream, my skin has completely transformed.  Their intense moisturizer help keep my skin hydrated throughout the day without the need to reapply.  It’s coverage is light enough that it blends perfectly with my skin tone but also strong enough that it camouflage any imperfections leaving my skin looking naturally flawless.  So the days of flakey foundation are history for this girl!

I thought I’d share with you some before and after photos of me and my Garnier BB Cream.

The Finished Look

When I first purchased my Garnier BB Cream, they only had a Light/Medium shade available.  Since then, they have unveiled their Medium/Deep BB Cream.  So, would I recommend this product?  Without a doubt!  I would hesitate to recommend this to anyone, whether you have skin issues or not, it’s a great product to try.  Plus, Garnier’s BB Cream is reasonably priced at only $13 per bottle in comparison to some of the other more expensive brands that sell from anywhere between $30 – $100.  Like I said before, I can’t go a day without my Garnier BB Cream!

You can find Garnier BB Cream at your local drugstore.

Have you tried a BB Cream?  Which one and what did you think?


With the weather being as beautiful as it’s been the past few days here in the Philadelphia area makes you think about getting your legs summer ready!  If you’re like me, you’re probably in desperate need for a good waxing after months of winter hibernation - that’s right, months of hiding your oh-so-hairy legs under those cute pants you’ve been showing off all winter!  So what’s my remedy?  I’m not all-for going out and spending my hard-earned cash on professional wax jobs, not when there are great products out there that can get the job done for less in the comfort and discretion of my home.I’ve used theNair products for as long as I can remember.  From their lotion hair removers to the bottled wax, I’ve tried them all.  They’ve always been able to get the job done for less than half the cost of a salon treatment.  When I heard about Nair’s new Brazilian Spa Clay Roll-On Wax, I had to try it!  The roll-on applicator is easy to use and is much less messy than the stick or bottled wax and even easier to apply then the pre-waxed strips.  I’m a huge fan and will be using this product from now on!

Discover the secret to beautifully radiant, hair-free skin. Inspired by luxurious Brazilian spa treatments, our roll-on wax comes infused with mango, açai berry and mineral-rich clay. Just warm, roll and remove for sensuously smooth skin that lasts up to 8 weeks*. Plus, with the roll-on applicator it’s easy and mess-free. Soon you’ll be on your way to revealing gorgeous, smooth skin all at a fraction of the cost of a salon visit.
