Makeup Review: Garnier BB Eye Roll-on


Hearing the name of Garnier BB Eye Roll-on was an excitement. How nice the world will be with a roller-ball serum-packed concealer! You can simply swiftly massage your under eyes, dab dab dab, and leave your place with bright, sparkling eyes!!! The story is however too simple to be true...

Basically, I encounter two major problems:

1. Like most roller-ball applicators, there's hardly any way I could control the amount of BB cream I get on my under eyes. Yes, I can roll it onto the back of my hand first, but that will defeat the entire purpose of having the roller-ball, isn't it...?!

2. It's too dry for my rather dehydrated under eyes. I believe it could be good for young, hydrated skin, but definitely not for me (well well...I'm just 30!!!). It settled into creases and made me look sooooooo ooooooold...

If your under eyes are hydrated enough, the good thing I can say about this product is its sheer texture. Your eyes definitely won't be weighed down...Hmm, I guess it's also meant to be handy for retouches, but unfortunately I only see its cumbersome self...

I do look forward to the day when I can do eye massage and makeup in one go. Meanwhile, I still prefer massaging my eyes with Clinique All About Eyes Serum (HERE).

  1. i think that this could really dehydrate if its used everyday thats why other bloggers suggest to stay religious to your eye creams, what i like about it though is that it firms up my under eyes while working as a corrector but not as tough as a concealer :)

  2. It's interesting to know that it can be a good corrector. Unfortunately, my under eyes are simply too dry to benefit from the firming effect you mentioned.

    There will be some reviews of eye care products coming up. Stay 'tuned' and thanks for reading! =)
