***ALERT*** Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector B. B. Cream

I mentioned this product in my last post, "Garnier Skin Renew Clinical Dark Spot Overnight Peel"which you may want to read first if you haven't already. I didn't see this product when I bought the overnight peel so when I came across it at Walmart the other day I figured I would go ahead and add it to the collection to see if using the complete Skin Renew line would yield better results as opposed to using the overnight peel on its own. Long story short, I bought it, I tried it that night, I hated it, I returned it the next day. Garnier has two shades which are "light/medium" and "medium/dark. My skin tone is similar to that of actress Kerry Washington, so obviously I chose the medium/dark.
The product itself comes as a grayish-chocolate milky kind of color (sorry for the poor description, LOL). It looked nothing like the color of anyone's skin, really, but I figured it would work its magic and blend in. Nope. It made me look pale, dusty and ghostly. I thought it would just take a little rubbing to blend it in but NO. I looked like a geisha. Not only did it make me look like I had been frolicking through clouds of ash, it also had a "gritty" finish. There was nothing smooth or flattering about the finish. It looked like the product had sand bits in it that sit on top of the skin.
And speaking of sitting on top of the skin, there was nothing moisturizing about it. It felt almost like I was wearing a thin layer of baby powder on my face (and kinda looked that way too).
Anyway....I say terrible product, don't waste your money, and I have nothing nice to say about it.
Grade: F-, Garnier.
If you've already spent your money, let me know how it went for you.
