Garnier – Blemish Balm vs. L’Oreal – Nude Magique (BB creams, comparison)Garnier – Blemish Balm vs. L’Oreal – Nude Magique (BB kreme, primerjava)

In the past year or so BB Creams are becoming the next big thing. It seems that every company is putting its own BB Cream on the market. If you are new to BB Creams or you do not know, what a BB Cream is, HERE is a link to a short description of BB Creams. I liked the idea of BB Creams, so I tried two of the affordable ones that are available in Slovenia – Garnier – Blemish Balm and L’Oreal – Nude Magique.

After a couple of days of using the products I can write my first opinion about these products.

Garnier – Blemish Balm (in Light for combination to oily skin)

SPF 20, 10€, 40 ml of product.

Light, liquidy cream, that covers surprisingly well (light to medium coverage). Although I have normal to dry skin, this product isn’t drying on my skin. Actually my skin looks greasy and shiny after just one hour of application, which I think it’s funny, because I have normal to dry skin. Application is easy with fingers or with a brush. My complaint is the alcohol denat, which is third on the list of ingredients. And you can clearly smell the alcohol when you are applying the cream. Another complaint of mine is the packaging, which is a tube. I would prefer a pump or at least a much smaller hole. This stuff is very liquidy and it’s very easy to get way too much product out of the tube.

L’Oreal – Nude Magique Bb Cream (for fair skin tone)

SPF 12, 12€, 30 ml of product.

This product is interesting, because of the way it looks in the tube. The cream is white and it has tiny dark spots in it. At first it looks like some kind of scrub or something. But the tiny black spots are actually “smart pigment capsules to correct tone, cover imperfections and refine skin structure”. The capsules react with skin contact (or with rubbing). I thought this is interesting concept.
In comparison to the Garnier BB Cream this one gives you less coverage. I’d say it’s light coverage. The finish is more matt and it stays matt for quite some time.

Some comparison photos.

All in all I think both BB Creams are nice. If I had to choose I’d choose the Garnier one, because it looks slightly nicer on my skin and it is cheaper, but the L’Oreal one has also some advantages (packaging, finish).

Now I’m curious if you have ever tried these two BB Creams and which one do you prefer? I’m also interested if you are a fan of BB Creams and which one is your favourite?

V zadnjem letu so postale BB kreme pravi hit. Zgleda, da skoraj vsaka znamka daje na tržišče svojo BB kremo. Če prvič slišite za BB kreme, si lahko TUKAJ preberete nekaj osnovnih informacij, kaj sploh BB kreme so. Ideja BB krem mi je všeč, zato sem preizkusila dve, ki sta cenovno sprejemljivi in dostopni v Sloveniji – Garnier – Blemish Balm in L’Oreal – Nude Magique.

Po nekaj dnevih uporabe lahko napišem svoje prvo mnenje in razlike / podobnosti med izdelkoma.

Garnier – Blemish Balm (v odtenku Light za mešano do mastno kožo)

SPF 20, 10€, 40 ml vsebine.

Lahka, tekoča krema, ki presenetljivo dobro prekriva (lažja do srednja prekrivnost). Čeprav imam normalno do suho kožo, izdelek na moji koži ne deluje suho. Pravzaprav se moje čelo začne svetiti in izgleda mastno že kakšno uro po nanosu, kar je malenkost presenetljivo. Nanos je sicer enostaven tako s prsti kot tudi s čopiči. Moteč je alkohol precej na vrhu seznama sestavin in alkoholni vonj ob nanosu kreme. Prav tako mi ni všeč embalaža, ki je tuba z odprtino. Veliko bolje bi bilo, da bi za tako redko in tekočo kremo uporabili pumpico.

L’Oreal – Nude Magique Bb Cream (za svetlo kožo)

SPF 12, 12€, 30 ml vsebine.

Izgled izdelka v tubi je izredno zanimiv, saj gre za belo kremo z nekakšnimi temnimi pikicami. Na prvi pogled izgleda kot kakšen piling za obraz. Opis kreme sporoča, da so te pikice pravzaprav “pametne pigmentne kapsule”, ki se sprostijo ob dotiku s kožo ali ob drgnjenju. Zanimiv koncept.
V primerjavi z Garnier BB kremo je tale manj prekrivna (lahka prekrivnost), finiš pa je mat in moja koža ostane mat (a mi ne izsušuje kože) še nekaj časa po nanosu.

In še nekaj fotografij za primerjavo.

V splošnem se mi zdita obe kremi vredu. Če bi morala izbrati eno, bi izbrala Garnier, ker enostavno lepše izgleda na moji koži in ker je cenejša. L’Oreal-ova krema ne zaostaja veliko, saj ima svoje prednosti (embalaža, finiš).

Sedaj pa me zanima, če ste katero od opisanih krem že preizkusili in katera vam je ljubša? Prav tako pa me zanima, ali ste sploh pristaši BB krem in katera je vaša najljubša?

  1. Jaz imam Garnier-jevega. Se kar lepo obnese. Ga pa vedno kombiniram z prosojnim pudrom v prahu, ker se moja koža po vsakem takšnem in drugačnem pudru ali kremi sveti. Sem kar zadovoljna z njim, je svež, poleten, samo za izenačiti ten kože. Za kakšen bolj neubogljiv mozoljček še vedno uporabim korekotor.

    Priznam pa, da sem v vročih dnevih zelo nereden uporabnik krem(tudi BB) in pudrov, ker se mi enostavno zdi, da je po tem ko malo zakuham obraz videti še dosti slabše, kot če uporabim samo puder v prahu in korektor. Preprosto ne prebavljam tistega občutka rahlo prepotene namazane kože – kot bi bila umazana in neumita. :think:

  2. Imam Garniejevo in mi je všeč mazljivost in dejstvo, da se ne ‘vsede’ v gubice, je pa svetel odtenek še vedno rahlo pretemen in je zelo rahlo prekrivna.
    Sem si naročila od Skin79 (oranžno s 50 faktorjem) direktno iz Koreje in je super odtenek (preprosto bela, kar mi še najbolj ustreza, saj je končno moj obraz v istem odtenku kot vrat :wink: ), me pa rahlo moti, ker se po suhi koži zelo težko maže, moram pod njo uporabit kakšno mastno kremo mi pa prekrije velik del nepravilnosti (se mi zdi, da celo ‘ubija’ mozolje) :wink:

  5. I haven’t tried any of these bb creams but as far as I’ve read most people don’t like the Garnier one for oily skin so I’ll stay far away from it. The only bb cream I have tried was one from Skinfood, the peach sake one. I liked how it made my skin look even and blemish free, but it wasn’t really for oily skin either ):
