Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Vs Garnier Miracle Skin Perfecter

So the BB cream hype was massive last year and just like a lot of other people I was quick jumping on the band wagon and brought the UK's first BB cream, Garnier Miracle Skin Perfecter. However a lot of other company's have made they're own BB creams and the market has recently got a lot bigger from them. So I took two of the most popular BB creams and compared them. The first being the Garnier one which I brought for £9.99. I used this for quite a while last year until my acne got pretty bad and I found that it didn't have enough coverage. Up until then I actually really liked it. The coverage was good for my skin at the time, it applied really evenly and the smell is amazing! It made doing my makeup in the mourning super easy and quick and best of all it's super light on your skin. However after my acne got bad my skin became really oily and I found that whenever I used this BB cream it would just slide off, leaving my skin looking terrible so I just shoved my previously loved Garnier BB cream to the back of my draw. So a few months ago I received a sample of the new Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream. And with my now super oily skin I really didn't think it was going to be any good for me. When I first put it on I actually really liked it. This too was super easy to blend and has even better coverage then the Garnier one which I really like. This also isn't heavy on my skin at all and gives a a nice glow that doesn't look oily. And the best bit is that by the end of the day it was still there and my skin wasn't oily at all! And after i finished my sample i brought a full sized tube for £8.99. So both BB creams are actually really good but work for different skin types. The Garnier one would work well on dry, normal and possibly even combination skin. The Maybelline one would work well on oily, combination and normal skin although maybe not do well on dry skin. However Garnier have brought out an oil free BB cream but I haven't yet tried it so I don't know how good it is. I am a massive fan of BB creams and I do think they are really good. My only piece of advice is really think if it's going to work for your skin before you buy.
