I've been meaning to get some after trying it over the summer, but I haven't been makeup shopping in forever.
I just got a 20% f&f coupon for sephora, so I think I'm going to go tonight 
Do you use BB cream regularly?
(I usually use Laura Mercier or Bare Minerals for concealer and use a MUF matte bronzer)

I have a few sample sizes but prefer Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer!

I have tried the department store ones and wasn't impressed. I eventually ordered Skin79 from a rec on this site and love it.

Yes, I recently bought the garnier one and I love it. Usually tinted things like that are too orange on my pale skin, but the lightest color of this one works great. It just ads a little bit of finish to my very simple everyday makeup routine.

Yup! I use Dr Jart and really like it. It's a little light for me so I'm going to try a different shade.

I've tried 3 versions of the skin79 and I loved it at the time... I'm back to bare minerals but it's so expensive and skin79 is so cheap!!

Yes! But only Korean ones like @looch mentioned. I personally love Missha but have heard great things about Skin 79, too. You can order them on Amazon. The US versions are basically tinted moisturizer; the Korean ones offer amazing coverage but it looks much lighter than foundation.

@looch: I use Skin79 too. Love it. Just not impressed with the American brands. The Korean ones are much better.

Skin79 is the one I tried. I def prefer Korean/Asian brands on my skin.... how I miss makeup shopping in Korea!

They're sooo different! I had read about BB creams a long time ago, how they were like magic for your skin (I think they were developed to help plastic surgery patients in their recovery). So when Clinique came out with one, I tried it at the department store. It was like tinted moisturizer and still required concealer! I was sooo disappointed in it!
I have fair olive skin, so I wasn't sure if the Skin79 would be good, but it somehow self adjusts. It's amazing!

I prefer the Asian ones (especially Korean brand ones). The American ones don't seem to have as much coverage, and seem oilier. From Sephora, I've like the Dr. Jart and Dior (sampled, but I haven't bought it).
P.S. Did you get the coupon in email? I should double check - I trash everything.

I tried Smashbox and I found it really heavy. But then again I don't really like anything besides moisturizer... Even the LM tinted one feels weird to me.

@mrsjyw: Oh I am SURE you can find something to use it on! Bare Minerals is never on sale, so I'd always get that with 20% off! 
The Dr. Jart is pretty good. They have a Pantone color matcher in store now though - so they can match you perfectly for shade!

I use one from Tarte and I love it but I set it with Bare Minerals.

Yes! I alternate between Missha and Skin79 but I love both. @Rainbow Sprinkles: did it match okay?!

I tried the clinique bb creme too and did not like it. Im sticking to my laura mercier tinted moisturize

I purchased one after a facial {some mineral, organic deal} and had buyer's remorse. The coverage was great, but it felt like too much on my face.

I picked up the Oil of Olay one since I've only ever used tinted moisturizer at most on my face, and agree that it pretty much was the same thing. But I like tinted moisturizer, so no big deal.
