Hello beauties today I have another review for you! One of these products was actually mentioned in my June Favourites (which you can check out here) so you can probably already tell that this is going to be a pretty positive post.
Garnier Moisture Match Start Afresh - £5.99 available here
Recently, my skin has been a lot more normal than dry (I don't know whether to put it down to the weather or my better skincare regime) and so I've been able to get away with using a lighter moisturiser than usual. This one looks kind of thick at first but it actually feels really light on the skin and absorbs really well. It says it's a 'softening' cream and I actually kind of agree with that. It makes my skin feel uber soft and kind of like the way some primers make it feel. It does have a smell that is really obviously not natural but I love it; it smells like Benefit's Triple Performing Face Emulsion which, in turn smells like Curious by Britney Spears.
The box claims that it boosts moisture immediately by 38% and obviously, I have absolutely no idea whether it actually does that or not. However, I do agree that my skin looks softer, feels fresher and more comfortable.
The only issue I have with this is that I like to use it as a day cream however, it has no SPF in it. I currently don't have an SPF specifically for my face and am still on the hunt for one (I'm being incredibly picky seeing as it could very easily break me out) so I can only wear this on days when I'm not going outside or when I know there's going to be flash photography.
So, all in all, I'd give this a 4/5. If it had decent SPF it would literally be the perfect day cream for me.
Garnier Moisture Match Goodbye Dry - £5.99 available here
I bought this a few weeks after buying the full size of Start Afresh because all three moisturisers I had been sent sample sizes of I had liked, I needed a new night cream and so I was almost 100% sure I'd like this one. I was right, it's fab! It's incredibly thick, probably double the thickness of Start Afresh however it doesn't feel heavy or greasy on the skin. I could probably still use this as a day cream if I had to. This, again, leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and comfortable and my skin never feels dry or tight in the morning. This one has a faint smell but it's not as obvious as Start Afresh and when you're applying it to your face you can't even smell it.
Obviously because I use this as a night cream, I don't need it to have SPF and so I'm going to give it a full 5/5.
I am so impressed by these moisturisers and I'm so glad I found them. They're not too expensive and a little really goes a long way so I expect they'll last me a while. They're absolutely perfect for my skin at the moment and I fail to see anything new coming along that would stop me using these in the near future. If you're in need of a new moisturiser, I would thoroughly recommend this range from Garnier, they have one for all skin types and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Have a fabulous day,
