BB creams seem to be everywhere at the moment with most companies releasing their own versions, Ive been after the Garnier one for a while and found it at Boots reduced down from £9.99 to £7.49 and also instore at Sainsburys for the stonking price of £6.66 :j

They are selling on eBay for over £7 in most cases so both are a good buy at the moment,

Sainsbury's has confirmed that this product will be on offer at £6.66 until Tue 24 Apr 2012 and that stock is good. Thanks to mishkanorman for posting this find.

    I got a free sample of the Garnier one and it seems to make my pores look really obvious. i was quite disappointed as I so wanted to like it and still think maybe I am missing something!

    That is a great price though at Sainers. Well researched!

    Me too :( Really glad I got the free sample instead of buying a full sized bottle. I also found the "light" shade to be far too dark for my fair skin. Its such a shame because lots of people get on really well with the garnier BB cream!

    There's a whole thread on BB creams here - and you're right, from memory the Garnier BB cream didn't win many fans. I used the MUA once and really wasn't impressed, but at least it was only £3 down the drain.

    im really really pale, most shades dont go light enough for me but the Garnier was enough to give me a healthy colour without looking tango'ed - i add my own foundation on the worst bits / across my nose blended in which may help ? (or I look an idiot and everyone is wondering what Ive done to myself :rotfl:)

    I love it - have had several samples before splashing out but am glad can get it at a good price. Its nice & light in texture which I like, gives my skin a nice base without feeling as though I am plastered in foundation. I have fair skin though & don't want much colour in a foundation, if you need greater coverage it may not be suitable.

    This is nothing like a proper bb cream from Asia. A friend sent me one and I compared it with the sample I had of the Garnier one. Hated the Garnier.. the texture is horrid and the colour selection is terrible! I have fair skin but not porcelain and the lightest shade they do is far too dark!
