Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream

Posted on March 25, 2015March 30, 2020 by Joanna

With the change in season you may be looking to lighten up your makeup routine. Often we opt for lighter weight products such as a tinted moisturizer or a BB cream. Joanna recently tested out the Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream + BB Daily Eye Roller and they worked great for her!

*****

I have used quite a few different BB Creams as I am a big fan of the dewy, natural glow that they give.  The Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream is no exception.  I am fair-skinned so the “Light” tone was perfect for me. It instantly made my  sun-deprived winter face look more warm and alive.

This BB cream covered any small imperfections I had, along with evening out my colouring, without looking caked on. It also hydrates very well and this is really important when the temperatures are still so low. I often get dry patches on my face around this time of year so a powder or regular foundation doesn’t do the trick.

It is perfectly suited for one with normal to dry skin, with moderate discoloration or even some all-over redness.

In addition, I also tried the BB Cream Daily Eye Roller which I was extremely impressed with!

I have a couple of friends who always talk about their “eye bags”, which I never even notice on them, but  in turn I slowly started to notice my own! (Oh the things we put ourselves through!)  In the past few months I have been on the lookout for something that covers under-eye circles that looks natural and blends well. I usually use concealers, but sometimes those require me to apply makeup to the rest of my face as well to make everything blend naturally.

This roller, on the other hand is sheer enough to be barely-there, but still eliminates the circles spot-on. I can only say good things about it!

Combine great, natural coverage with amazing hydration and I think I have just found the perfect answer to my “baggage” problems!

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

I was invited to try the Turkish Bath Ritual and was truly blown away. The space is beautiful and calming, the service was impeccable, and the treatment itself was divine. 🧖‍♀️💆‍♀️ 

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊
