Garnier Anti Dark Circles Tinted Eye Roll On Review

Garnier Anti Dark Circles Tinted Eye Roll On Review

Instant covering action: Concentrated in mineral pigments, it covers dark circles in a flash. Giving you soft, natural looking finish for long lasting wear.
Anti dark circle hydrating care: Enriched with caffeine and pure lemon essence, known for its brightening properties, it combines a hydrating formula and the draining effect of a massage to effectively reduce dark circles and reveal a radiant and fresh look.

Proven efficacy: Dark circles are perfectly covered and appear reduced. Eye contour is refreshed and brighter.

Its unique formula blends a moisturising cream with selected active ingredients.
Pure Lemon Essence & Vitamin C to clarify & smoothen skin.
Long Dan extract to help slow down skin darkening.
Glycerin to moisturise and comfort the skin.
UVA & UVB’s to protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

Directions: Apply Garnier Anti Dark Circles Eye Roll-on to the eye contour area in light circular massaging movements. The liquid will be applied automatically via the roller ball. If necessary, use your fingertips to spread evenly.

Recommended usage: Twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.

MRP: Rs. 199/- for 15ml

Its available in two shades..Medium and Fair in India..

Medium has yellow undertones whereas Fair has a little pink undertones.

It has this steel roller ball tip which feels very cooling on application. Its easy to spread but needs to be blended in with the ring finger and fast before it dries..its in a liquid form which dries super fast..so if you have dry skin you might need an eye cream coz this is not creamy and moisturising types.

Mehak used this as an eye primer in emergency and I used it for concealing a few spots when I did not have a concealer handy and this did work ! But either ways for the under eyes or overall it gives a very light coverage..so if you have heavy dark circles it might not work for you.

Blended

I find this very handy for daily use..and when you are in a hurry…it stays a decent 4-5 hours normally but lesser in more humid climate.

Pros:

1. Easy to use and handy.
2. Though there are just two shades available Medium shade would suit most of the Indian skin tones.
3. Economical.
4. Travel friendly.
5. Gives a nice cooling effect on application.
6. It does conceal lightly and give brighter eyes but not if you have heavy dark circles.

Cons:

1. May feel a little drying.
2. Light coverage.
3. It would not reduce dark circles as claimed.

Overall I quite liked it and found it handy enough coz I am most of the time in a hurry 😀

Garnier Light Fairness Face Wash Review

What the Company claims: Is Garnier Light Fairness face wash right for me?

Yes, if your skin is prone to dullness and darkening. An effective daily fairness face wash, it helps recover a clear, radiant even complexion.

How does Garnier Fairness Face Wash work?

How do I use Garnier Light fairness face wash?
With moist hands, work a small amount of Garnier Fairness Face Wash into a lather and apply to face.
Gently massage onto moist skin with fingertips. Rinse thoroughly.
For best results, follow with Garnier Light daily moisturiser.

Garnier Fairness Face Wash Ingredients :

MRP: Rs.120/- for 100g and Rs. 65/- for 45g

Its a white colored creamy face wash. It has this typical lemon essence smell which all Garnier products generally have.

Garneir products have mostly not worked for me..so I was not expecting much out of this too. And all creamy face washes like Pond’s  make my skin dry and stretchy..so I do not prefer creamy face washes..but I was in for a surprise with this one..

Pros:

1. It does cleanse the skin of all dirt quite well.
2. It exfoliates..no it does not have any exfoliating particles or stuff but you can feel the minor exfoliation on the skin.
3. It removed my tan and helped in keeping it away..while I was at a beach and exposed to sun quiet a lot.
4. I don’t know about fairness but it does brighten the skin immediately.
5. Its quite refreshing.
6. Did not sting my eyes.
7. And even though its creamy it did not make my skin feel dry or stretchy after use.
8. Economical..it also comes in a 45g pack which I was carrying along with me.

Cons:

1. I am not sure if it would suit dry skin..may make it feel drier.

Umm..I did not find any other cons with it. It worked well for my combination skin. And even works well on a friend with oily skin.

Uncategorized, , , , ,

What the Company claims:
How is it different?

How does it work?
Its unique formula blends a moisturising cream with selected active ingredients:

Pure lemon essence and Vitamin C to clarify and smoothen skin.
Long dan extract to help slow down skin darkening.
Glycerin to moiturise and comfort the skin.
UVA & UVB filters to protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

Proven Results in 4 weeks:

Skin is softer, visibly fairer, more even, with reduced spots and has a healthy fair glow.
Garnier Skin Naturals

Use wherever possible, active natural ingredients which have been carefully extracted to preserve their quality and purify.

Have been dermatologically tested to ensure respect to your skin.

How do I use Garnier Light daily moisturiser?

Apply daily in the morning on perfectly cleansed skin.

Gently massage into the skin using light circular movements, moving from the centre of your face outward, and from the base of your neck to the top.

 Do not apply to the delicate eye contour area or on irritated skin.

MRP: Rs. 110/-for 50ml

It has a nice yellow packaging with a different shape and stands still..it has a nozzle for dispensing the lotion out..though the lotion is runny,its thick in texture like it would not get completely absorbed into your skin ever ! Has a strong lemon essence smell which I particularly did not like :/

Pros:

1. Nice packaging.
2, Has SPF..so good for daily use as sunscreen plus moisturiser.
3. This may work for people with dry skin.

There are not much pros for this one..but a long list of cons..:p

Cons:

1. Does not get absorbed and sits on the skin.
2. Gives a whitish cast.
3. Strong lemon essence smell.
4. No list of Ingredients.
5. Would not work for people with oily skin.
6. I do not think it helps in any fairness plus dark spots prevention as claimed !

Overall, do not buy it !! Especially if you have oily or combination skin. Dry skin people may try..if Garnier works for you..

Garnier Body Cocoon Review

Garnier Body Cocoon Review


I know many of you have tried it and I have got mixed reviews..some love it and it their HG and some hate it..well I found it to be somewhere in between.

What the Company claims :
Is this right for me ? Yes, if your skin feels dry, rough, flaky and tight, Garnier Body Cocoon moisturising lotion will soothe and restore the skin’s suppleness, leaving it feeling unbelievably soft.
How is it different ?
Its creamy yet light texture is instantly absorbed into the skin-enveloping it in a nourishing cocoon of softness, leaving it deliciously fragranced. Its moisturising formula blends selected natural ingredients.
Nutritive fruit oils from apricots, olives, blackcurrants and avocados to deliver an immediate burst of moisture to the skin.
Visible Results: Dry skin appears transformed Visibly smoother, Noticeably softer. Do not apply on the face.

Garnier Body products use wherever possible, active natural ingredients which have been carefully extracted to preserve their quality and purity.
Have been dermatologically tested to ensure respect to your skin.
Now this is a huge huge claim :p

Ingredients: Aqua/Water, Paraffinum Liquidum/Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Elaeis Guineensis/Palm Oil, Stearyl Heptanoate, Hexyldecanol, Olea Europaea/Olive Fruit Oil, Persea Gratissima/Avocado Oil, Prunus Armeniaca/Apricot Kernel Oil, Ribes Nigrum/Black Currant Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera/Grape Seed Oil, Carbomer, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Caprylate, Triethanolamine, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Parfum/Fragrance, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

MRP: Rs 89/- for 125 ml and Rs 145/- for 250 ml (which was 75 and 130 before..why the increase in prices !!)

This is a thick white lotion..actually the texture is more like a cream and thats why takes ages for it to come out.
The smell is a bit different and weird but it faints in a few minutes and does not stay for long.

Pros:
1. It moisturises the skin well for my normal body skin.
2. Economical at Rs 89/-
3. Easy to carry around.
4. I like the packaging and the bright orange bottle.
5. Does not leave the skin greasy.

Cons:
1. Takes 5 mins to get absorbed into the skin properly.
2. Would not suit extra dry skin as they would need more moisturisation.
3. Claims are too high and it does not fulfill all.
4. I would expect more qty as this small bottle if used on hands and legs would not even stay for 2-3 weeks.

Rating:

Quality- 3.5/5
Value for money- 3/5
Availabilty- 5/5

Overall rating- 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I quite liked it as it does suit my skin.

Have you used this ? Did you like it ?

Skin Care Haul

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , ,

Finally I found Khadi yesterday. There is a huge Khadi grih at the Khadi Lane ahead of VT station..I got a few things from there and some other daily winter essentials..
Here are they..

 
  

 I got Garnier Body Cocoon, Lotus sun safe spray in SPF 50, Ashwin’s Rose water, Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, Glycerine, Everyuth Golden Glow peel off..and some Khadi products..

 

Which are
Khadi Body Massage Oil with Kesar, Almond oil and Olive oil
Khadi Kesar peel off scrub gel
Khadi Mauri facewash and
Khadi Fresh Jasmine handmade soap.

Khadi has its own hits and misses. Not everything is good and the quality varies coz different things are manufactured at different places in India. I would review these after using..

Have you used any of these ? Do you like Khadi products ?
