    Hi ya,

    I havent tried BB creams but I just bought one yesterday and tried it today, it is gorgeous ! I bought it at Boots BB number 17 £6.99 spf 25, great as i was going to get Boots number 7 but it only has a spf 15 . I also took advantadge of the offer 3*2, so bought a bb cream, a lovely lipstick and a bright pink blusher + the free concealer.. all for £10.38 !!

    An update. Ive managed to get a decent sized sample of the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector in 'Light'. Still, not quite light enough for me but still wearable. I like it :)

    I'm also looking for a BB cream, I liked the Garnier one but unfortunately Garnier tests on animals so that is a no-no.
    Only other ones I can think of that are in my price range are the 17 & No7 ones. Any good?

    Hi ya, I have been using the N17 bb cream and so far so good, no spots , it is quite light and does not make my skin oily. I quite like it, more now that summer is coming and I like going out bare face, the spf is a great bonus for me !

    I'm looking for a BB cream, probably an asian one. I'm not that pale though, at the moment I use the nivea tinted moisturiser and usually use foundations in a NC20 (MAC) can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi everyone thanks for all of the ideas. I have ordered my free garnier samples and had settled on ordering the skin79. However based on angelils experience :T I am going to try the clinique. I like their products and always use their foundation.

    Just got the Clinique BB Cream...WOW it is super. Best western BB cream I've tried so far.

    I also found this on youtube. Its long mind you - first video is 7 mins then you link to another for 13 mins. It shows lots of different bb creams, colours and textures and how they oxidise after applying to your skin and compares them to NC30 & NC15 MAC. After watching this I think bb creams are for paler skins. Not sure if it's helpful or just more confusing :rotfl:

    ^^ You're probably right there. Think about how pale Korean/Chinese/Japanese/Taiwanese skins are - and the people there are often looking to go even paler.

    I'm a bit thick today - forgot Garnier tested on animals (so long BB cream, off to my sister you go)... do you guys know any Korean/eastern good BB cream that doesn't test on animals?
