Review:- Garnier tinted Anti dark circles roll on

First thing I have to say about this product is 'Holy Grail'

I was in love with the original garnier anti dark circles roll on which is the one in the green roll on tube 

it is basically a liquid gel like eye product and the metal roller ball provides a cooling massage and actually squishes down puffy eye bags and soothes 

the main active ingredient is caffeine 

My only concern with the original one was that as i am a daily makeup wearer I was worried that my foundation, concealer, powder etc was contaminating the solution in my original roll on 

and i could 'imagine' the nasty gunky formula inside 

But since this is now tinted I dont have that concern anymore :)

I use the light shade which works fine for me I think the other darker shade would work fine on NC 35- nc45 skintones and I really hope Garnier read this and create a truly dark one for women of darker colour above nc45 as nobody should be without this product.

The roll on gives light coverage on dark circles, so if you have very dark circles you will need a proper concealer, I have medium dark circles so this works ok for me and better with a highlighter as well such as ysl touche eclat, but my main concern is eye bags and puffiness which is the HARDEST thing to cover up since it is a real problem as puffiness is 3d and not just aflat  discolouration .

I still use an eye product under this and I do go over this with concealer and highlighter but this is mostly out of habit and also to try to cover up my puffiness -which usually fails anyway lol

Have you tried this ?
which eye products do you use ?

New product launch :- Garnier BB cream and swatches

Garnier miracle skin perfector

Daily all in one BB cream

Garnier has launched its BB cream in the uk 

this is possibly the second bb cream in the UK 

the first being mac prep and prime bb cream (review coming soon)

But i really feel that this is more of a BB cream

since its more of a multi tasker 

Garnier claims that this BB cream or Beauty balm :-

-Evens skintone

-Adds glow

-Blurs imperfections (sounds like a camera mode)

-Smoothes fine lines

-24 hour hydration

SPF15 uv sun protection

It is also affordably priced at £10 - £11

Im really quite happy with this product 

to me it is a tinted moisturiser 

and i feel its a perfect match with the tinted eye roll on for a simple makeup routine for a busy person or mum on the go 

It is quite a fluffy moussey texture and it does feel refreshing and hydrating on the skin 

It comes in two colour choices 

-light

-medium 

I hope they introduce a dark for much darker skins

The light looks like mac nc25 bobbi brown warm beige 

and the medium looks like mac nc35 bobbi brown warm natural/honey

I would recommend light for fair to light medium skintones such as nc20 to nc30

and i recommend the medium for nc30 to nc40 

although it is a tinted moisturiser so yo can probably get away with using this product beyond my shade recommendations 

coverage is light to medium similar to a tinted moisturiser 

I hope this review has helped 

XOXO

Garnier pure active spot roll-on

MY THREE GARNIER MUSKETEERS

Im actually liking these products right now

So although I have dry skin occasionally I come out with an ugly spot I get between 1-10 spots a year.

But this time around I came out with 2 stubborn spots that refused to die.

I tried several products.

Including Clearsils spot pen which promises to kill a spot in 24 hours

this time it did not work.

neither did superdrugs tea tree spot stick

or boots blemish gel

so on a trip to boots entirely dedicated to researching every spot product on the shelves

I found the garnier pure active roll on and decided to give it ago

I applied it in the same way that I was using the other products

(regularly re-applying every 1-2 hours)

yes this is more than recommended but it actually worked the spots had almost disappeared by the next day.

So I definitely recommend this for anyone with spots even if you have 10-20 please treat each spot individually rather than using something harsh on the delicate skin surrounding spots you are actually spreading the bacteria and aggravating your skin to produce more spots.

Because I have always taken such good care of my skin I did not have an issue with spots even as a teenager.

Garnier Caffeine Roll-on use

I have used this product for quite a while, mostly for its cooling properties whilst using a VDU.

When you use it the rollerball may be dry, which means it can catch crepey and mature skin so you must roll it on your hand abit just to activate the solution to lubricate the rollerball to stop the ball from catching any skin in it.

my problem with the rollerball was that as a major makeup wearer I was worried that I was contaminating the solution with all the makeup from my face

(concealer, foundation, powder -ya know!)

I was sooo glad when I found out that they were coming out with a tinted version as the formula is already coloured, It is available in just 2 colours I am the lightest (Im a mac nc25) but I still wish they did a 3rd much darker colour as the current dark colour only goes upto a mac nc40-ish.

I definitely recommend the clear one as a carry around for anyone male or female who works awkward shifts, or has long working days, little sleep or works with a VDU. DEFINITELY SUITABLE FOR MEN even if its only for the cooling properties, the product and packaging is unisex.

I cant comment about whether it lightens dark circles as I usually use this product in conjunction with other products and I have a tendency to rotate my products
