✿✿ REVIEW: Garnier Skin Naturals : BB Cream / Miracle Skin Perfector ✿✿

 

I know pretty much I am repeating this for the nth time , but I always wanted BB creams / tinted moisturisers to come to the Middle East :D. And now I can't believe, it's all over the place!!

So currently the only one I was able to try (since my skin never stays normal) is the one by Garnier.Ever since I used the eye roll on and loved I always wanted Garnier to even make a BB Cream.I think in the US its marketed as the BB Cream whereas places like Singapore it's called the Miracle Skin Perfector but here it's marketed under both names .

 

 

 The packaging as you can see is pretty normal , nothing that eye-opening.

 

 

What the product says: 

 

 

What it really does:

 

This is one of the reviews where I'm not highly impressed by the product , nevertheless:

 

-Moisturises really well

-Evens out skin

-Makes it luminous or shiny would be a better word to use (sometimes it can look a little greasy as soon as you apply it)

-Covers really well for BB Cream , has a build-able coverage (See pictures below)

-Has the most calming and beautiful scent to it.

-It stays on really well and keeps you looking fresh for a long time

-Doesn't cause your skin or scars to get red or blotchy at the end of the day (which is my problem with foundation ,which tends to make my skin look 10x bad at the end of the day)

-Covers blemishes / dry skin well doesn't make it look flaky

-Affordable SR 38 ( I guess)

 

 

(Covers well and adds shine to face,doesn't exageurate dry patches on skin)

 

 

 

(Shade Light/Clair shown. Gives a luminous finsh.)

 

 

What I (personally) don't like about the product:

 

-Has a very stick feel to it as soon as you apply it.

-For oily skin,it tends to make you look greasier.So cannot be used all on its own

-Packaging is not so great

-Limited shades ( I have to mix the light and medium shade to make the colours look less awkward for my face)

 

 

How I use it:

 

I mix the Medium (which is more orange-ish) and the Light/Clair shades together.

I then, aplly an even fine layer.If I need it more for areas like nose corners etc I apply a second coating.Wait for it to become less stick and then duat my face with loose powder.

 

 

Overall:

 

I think the product justifies its price and really is good for your skin,when it is NOT suffering from breakouts.Apart from that , makes you beam and gives you a fresh look , for a longer time.

I wish I could recommend it to people , but due to limited shades (only 3), it doesn't work for all skintones.

 

Over all I rate it 4 stars.

 

 

 

Have a nice day!!!

 

 





❥❥Review: Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 45❥❥

   

 

Finally, Hajj vacations are here :D !!

So today I am going to another review (surprise,surprise) but this one's the one I've been raving for a long time.

 

What it says:

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 30 feels like you have nothing on, but offers broad-spectrum protection to help prevent sun damage.

This dermatologist-tested formula uses Avobenzone to provide advanced protection against damaging UVA and UVB rays, along with Dry-Touch technology for an ultra-light, non-shiny finish. Fast-absorbing and waterproof, this non-oily formula is enriched with anti-oxidants to help skin fight the harm caused by environmental damage.
Heavy sun protection never felt this light on your skin.

Waterproof

Sweatproof

PABA-free

Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) 

 

 

 

What it does:

Really in short everything it claims,it's just so amazing, I can't tell you!! It's obviously moisturising enough,at first it was a li'l greasy but later on  it just became matte, I was really really surprised,it didn't give a whitish cast on my face ,neither did I feel I had something on my face,it is really light-weight and stays on well.The skins becomes really smooth which is actually very compatible with my foundation routine.Moreover, it's not sticky, just perfect doesn't smell so bad and is the perfect base for my make-up :D And I haven't shown any allergic reaction to it ,neither does it break me out.I recommend this to everyone 'coz it's simply amazing :D.Oh! and I apply it using the five-dot system,so I get an even layer.The only thing got me a tad bit sceptical was applying it only 15 minutes before leaving,which obviously I don't have time for,so I don't know whether its as effective or not. Rating it 5 Stars !!

    That's pretty much it for this entry :D
It cost me around SR42 which is quiet less than what I paid for the Nivea sunscreen :D

 

✰ 2-in-1 Review: Garnier Light Eye Roll-on + Tinted Eye Roll-on ✰

 

Garnier Light Eye Roll-on:

 

What it claims:

Eye puffiness and dark circles can make your eyes look dull & tired.Garnier Light Eye Roll-on is a massaging roll-on that combines caffeine and the draining effect of a massage to reduce puffiness and dark circles and brighten the eye contour.

Massage is a technique used by experts to boost natural draining and decongest tired eyes. The formula, enriched with caffeine, known for its stimulating properties on micro-circulation, helps to brighten the skin and boost radiance.

 

What it does: Does exactly what it does,this product amazes me,When I first bought it a year ago I was sceptical about trying it out as previous Garnier products caused an allergy on my face.But when I first put it on my eyes,it was the best feeling ever.The liquid is transparent,and the metal roller which not only massages the under-eye area but also gives a cool feeling to it. Instantly? hmmm that's a little exaggerating but it does make your eyes look less swollen and not so dark.Roll it gently under the yes for 30 seconds and then pat gently and wait for the magic.I like the slim container and the product dispenses of really easily,just give it a little shake before applying.And this awesomeness is just for SR 22!!! We just loves this product so much :D

 

Garnier Light Anti Dark Circles 2-in-1 Tinted Eye Roll-on:  (the name's li'l too long :D)

 

What it claims: 

Dark circles not only make you look tired but also darken your eye contour. Garnier introduces Light Anti Dark Circles 2-in-1 Tinted Eye Roll-on, the 1st refreshing roll-on with dual anti dark circles action
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.

What it does:
I just loooooove this product and I have no words for how amazing this product is.Just similar to it's sister product but has one tiny change it's tinted YAY!! It's available in two shades over here : Light-002 (which is sold as Sheer Tint in the US) and Medium-003 (Medium/Deep).I use the latter and my mom the former.And we both love this product.I am on the second bottle and  I have no complaints with the product or the packaging :D It dispenses of really well and blends in really good.

As you can see that's the amount of product that comes out in 1 roll.
But for those who dry under-eye areas I would recommend using an eye-cream prior to application or else it'll look all flaky.Very natural and light finish,stays on for a good 6 hours of school ^_^.And it conceals and illuminates :D And the best part is I use it as an overall concealer for my face.Apart from the eyes I just on the nose and nose corners,centre of the forehead in a fan shape and the mouth corners.I know it's not meant for those areas but I haven't had any problems with it.Instantly brightens up the complexion with a super natural finish :D And its only for SR 24 talk about the cheapness :P

Have a nice day guys!!!

 

PS: This is a treat for my blog, to do two reviews in one, since I haven't been blogging regularly, due to school :D
