My views about garnier white complete fairness face wash:

This comes in a yellow and white tube that has a screw cap. This face wash has a creamy texture and thick consistency that is white in color. This resembles the cream fair & lovely. This product is best if you have dry skin or want to use in winters. This can prove to be very effective then and also reduce the complexion to one tone.  But, this is also observed only in the beginning that reduces by time. This doesn’t lather that well and leaves a creamy texture on your face after applying directly. To lather the face wash, you first have to rub the dollop onto your palms and then apply this on face. This gives an oily feeling when washing my face and makes it look even greasier, since I have oily skin. This adds an instant fairness upon application that fades with time and starts looking greasy. 


Pros of garnier white complete fairness face wash:
Only suitable for dry 
Refreshing lemony scent
Good for winters
Friendly  packaging 
Travel friendly 
Affordable price 
Easily available.

Cons of garnier white complete fairness face wash:
Doesn’t lives up to its claim to lighten skin tone 
Not suitable for oily skin
Gets greasy with time

Rating for garnier white complete fairness face wash: 2 out of 5.

Will I repurchase garnier white complete fairness face wash?
No, defiantly not for me at least. You may give this a try if you have dry skin or for winters.

It is my go-to lipliner, since it is a lovely nude colour, and is pigmented enough to cover the darker bits of my lip around the edges. Here I have topped the lipliner with a colourless lip balm. 🙂

Editor’s Note: This is a perfect MLBB shade..loved the nude..definitely getting this..
