I used one spritz earlier and mixed it in with my leave in conditioner only on my ends. My ends are greasy as can be.

I hate to toss the bottle with it being so full but I just can't make the stuff work whatsoever.

The only use I have for it is to spritz a few times into my bath when I am soaking with a bath bomb/bubble bath/ whatever. I can't put it directly on the skin, it did not work with my hair AT ALL, and sorry to the company but I wouldn't even imagine trying it on my face (I'm too prone to breakouts). It softens my skin while I soak and 4 spritzes in the ratio of a tub full of water doesn't get me greasy... Just be careful when draining the bathtub or getting out of it, maybe put a towel down because this stuff is slippery!

BTW, update, I am really liking the BB cream! Not sure if it's mine that settled with shipping or something, but it has a more liquid-y than cream-y consistency, which can get messy since the applicator isn't drip proof when you squeeze product out, but I don't mind.  This BB cream has great coverage on my acne skin and I have not broken out from it. It has the BEST coverage of BB creams I have tried. FYI, the creams I've tried and disliked/ just thought they were okay/ would NOT purchase again are: boscia, Dr. Jarts, skin79 pink bottled one. None of these ever went on evenly or nicely, and I got no coverage from them, so if your skin is like mine, you might end up loving this too! If all goes well and I don't break out from this at the end of the bottle (which will be a long time from now since it's huge!), I will purchase this. I like not having to wear foundation on a daily basis, and this has been the only thing to do it for me so far. 

I still wear powder over this because my skin is so oily, and my skin STILL does get oily at the end of the day, but it always gets oily no matter what mattifying/shine free/ made for oily skin products and makeup I use. I just like this because I get great coverage without piling on foundation on a daily basis. I now use this and covergirl powder in place of my foundation and covergirl powder for school and my clinical rotations (which last 13 hours a day). If I am going out somewhere special, I would stick to foundation.

I can't wait to get my BB cream! Tomorrow, since the package center is closed today for Easter. But I really do think that it's going to be too light, not that I'm surprised about that since brands like Garnier are not at all catered to people of color...and the black woman in the picture is lighter skinned than I am...like, she is a really light skinned black person!!

Also, when I saw it in the store though, the consistency did seem rather liquid-y, so I don't think it's just yours l0ser_dust.

I cant wait to get mine, hopefully it will work for my skin tone.  Hope it works out for you too.

I received mine last Friday and it is unfortunately a little too dark for me but I think I can pull it off in the summer.  I have more pics on my blog but here are the better ones...

I just signed up last week and already got invited to a campaign this morning. It's for the Green Giant veggie chips. Can't wait to try them!

 

[missnaya]

I just go the Green Giant Veggie Chips Campaign! Apparently it's going to include:

-A full size bag of Green Giant roasted veggie tortilla chips with zesty cheddar

-A full size bag of Green Giant multigrain sweet potato chips  with sea salt

-sample sized pouches

-coupons

I'm all about eating healthy and making healthy snack options so I'm super excited for this one! 

 

[Jamie P]

I'm so jealous of all these goodies I am not getting hahaha!!!

The only thing I like more than makeup is food. I would like to be in this one, haha. The only problem is that I have zero issues scarfing a whole bag of chips in one go, so maybe it's best they don't sign me up for a food campaign.

Woohoo! Just got my BB Cream!! I had to wait for the package center to open since school is still closed today, so they have different and limited hours.

I'm happy to report that it's not actually way too light! In fact, it's pretty good! And while the coverage is much lighter than I personally like in the colder months when there's no sun (I go full coverage then because my acne spots are much more visible, and then in the summer, when I'm tanned, I go lighter)...it's quite good for a BB cream! So I don't think it's for me because when I'm tan, it will be much too light. But maybe it'll be good as a primer?

Mine is also very liquidy - I think that's just how it is. Since that's the case, I would have preferred a pump dispenser since right now it just dribbles out and is difficult to manage. But I love the product! I never wear makeup so I like how this can replace my moisturizer and help even out my skin's appearance.

I agree that a pump would be better!

I wear foundation every day that I leave the house (so at least 6 days a week), so this is not my product. Works nicely as a primer though! So maybe I'll replace my moisturizer and primer with this...but definitely NOT my foundation! I like full coverage, and this is not even close to that!

 

[Canny Charlene]

Wow!  I've never had campaign activity approved so quickly..less than 2 hours of submitting my blog post I received an email saying it had been approved and even had a note saying they were sorry to hear the BB cream wasn't a match for me..they are quick today!

 

[queenofperil]

Got my bb cream today! Unfortunately, it looks like it oxidizes on me and turns me pink. It's gloomy here (I swear to god, this happens EVER SINGLE TIME I get a new makeup product), so I can't quite tell. I'm going to wear it tomorrow and hope to hell I'm not walking around with a pink face. 

 

[Jamie P]

Had a survey on shoes! I do have a lot of those, so maybe I will get a shoe campaign? Haha!!

 

[KeepOnSingin]

I had the shoe survey too. A shoe campaign would be cool! I love shoes!

 

[jesemiaud]

Sigh...no shoe survey for me. 

 

[hiheather]

No survey for me either. I saw on their fb that there is a lot of campaigns coming in April!

check the survey page and ignore what it says on your homepage about not having surveys? Mine said I had none and when I clicked it there were TWO! One was the shoes. One was about pain. I am super excited for whatever that is.
