Agreed!
It is the first BB cream I've bought, and I'm using it daily instead of my foundation. It is so light, I love it.
Thank you to whomever it was recommended it.

Got a full tube of "light" shade if anyone wants it....too pale on me. Annoying.

I've not seen it yet. I did try on a loreal one last week, it was bright orange!

I bought light and medium yesterday and love it. Glow without sparkles, much cheaper than Pixi or Laura Mercier which have both run out. Was going to try liz Earle and had samples but I like this more.

Adding my thanks too as I bought it after seeing that recommendation. I have worn this every day since buying - love it more than my Laura Mercier!

My face was really shiny when I tried it. I loved the colour but it stayed feeling wet on my face for ages. Did I apply it wrongly?! Or is it more for dry skin?

Really pleased with it too - bought it on Saturday so worn it for a couple of days.

Did you put another moisturiser on before you applied it Birdies? My face looked shiny at first but was fine after 10/15 mins.

Well it brought me out in spots in the same way EL doublewear did. So if anyone wants 2/3 of a tube of medium then pm me and I'll post it

I have bought it and think its ok but am confused as to whether you put powder on over the top or not! Does anyone know?!

cupidsabsolutepsyche · 30/09/2013 21:12

another happy customer here! i still need to use a tiny amount of cc cream on the red patches around my nose and will always need a separate moisturiser underneath but i love the feel of it and how it makes me look so glowy without looking sweaty Smile thanks for the recommendation!

I put bronzer on my cheeks over the top if that helps ?

I bought the fair and it's too pale for me right now, hoping it will suit during winter months.

Was a bit reluctant to fork out for the medium aswell so would love to have yours to try please awks - sorry it brought you out in spots.

I found it too wet/shiny if I moisturised first but just right if I didn't. Am so used to tinted moisturisers, which always needed a moisturiser underneath Confused

Lala everyone's skin is different so if you feel you need powder over it you should do that.

This sounds like just the job as I love the Garnier one but the lightest one is now too orange now my tan has faded. I will look out for it (although hope it doesn't bring me out in spots!)
