Affordable Fresh Spring Face! [Garnier BB Miracle Skin Perfector & Rimmel Stay Matte Powder REVIEW]

Hey girlies! Spring/summer is finally saying hi to us girls who live down under. Today I'll be sharing with you two affordable products that I think are a perfect combination for Spring and I'll be doing a brief review on both of them. Also, for some reason, this spring is actually feeling a lot more like summer.


GARNIER BB MIRACLE SKIN PERFECTOR

Ever since the craze about BB cream started a few years ago, I strayed away from it. The colour selection would always either be too yellow, too grey or too pink for my face and it looked like a mask whenever I put it on. Also, it was never enough coverage for my face. It was such a bummer because BB cream is meant to have so many benefits for the face.

Garnier BB Miracle Skin Perfector was a game changer for my face after I purchased it from Malaysia. Also, my skin has been getting a lot better lately so I'm not too fussed about coverage. I have to warn you that the packaging of this in Malaysia is actually different to the States and Australia so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that the product itself is still the same. (Also, there is no colour selection for this in Malaysia but I've seen two to three different shades in Priceline) If you're interested CLICK HERE

I love this BB cream because it's so lightweight and it somehow magically matches my skin tone perfectly. It honestly feels lighter than applying moisturiser and you don't even need a brush for it. It's  perfect for a quick fix when I'm late to school or work. As amazing as it is, there are a few small things that I don't like about it. It's definitely not suitable for days where you want a long lasting wear.  I would say that for me personally, it's perfect up until the 5 hour point. Which isn't too bad in my opinion. Also, I wouldn't recommend this for those who have extremely oily skin. I do believe that there are more pros than cons in this case and for the price that it was (RM15) it was definitely a steal! This is perfect for those who have pretty decent skin and just want a little bit of coverage to even out the skin.


RIMMEL STAY MATTE PRESSED POWDER

 

excuse the reflection

Now let me talk a bit about the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder  which is definitely known by many and it's nothing new. But I love the combination of the powder with this BB cream and the two of them together are so affordable. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder retails for AU$12.95. This powder has been my Holy Grail for ages, and I don't plan to switch it up any time soon. (For those of you who are interested, I buy the transparent one)

I can honestly say that it's much better than any of the high end products that I've tried (Including MAC, Bobbi Brown and NARS) I get pretty oily during spring/summer so this is perfect. If I have to say one thing that I don't like about it, it would have to be the packaging. I'm not being a snob, I just want to give a thorough review. But it's definitely not a big issue considering how cheap it is. I would definitely be careful with this if I was to travel with it or have it lying in my bag. It does smash easily and the lid tends to fall off. (If you're travelling, this can be avoided by putting cotton pads in between). I would avoid this powder if I had dry or flakey skin.


I hope you enjoy this post and tell me what your thoughts are if you've tried any of these products :)
LOTS OF LOVE!
