Garnier Anti Dark Circle Tinted Eye Roll On ~ My review, pics and swatches

Disaapoited with all the concealers I own, I though of looking into my dressing drawer to see if I still have the Garnier Tinted Eye roll on with me, I had thought that I have thrown it months back but nooo It was still there,,sitting in a corner, overshadowed by the makeup remover pads,, sad looking, dejected,,and drowned in self pity ,,still it was there,,
The sun shine on it, the makeup remover pads were no more hiding this little baby and then it came in my hands, sad but hopeful!! LOL , okay cut the story here..

I took out the roll on and started using it wherever I needed some concealing. I am one of those who doesnt like looking like a porcelain doll, for me the less coverage is always welcome.
So, this fit the bill completely. I used it  under my eyes and I loved the effect, my dark circles were no more prominent and it was covering up the redness around my nose quite well.. So, all in all it is a winner for me..

The reason why I had not used this for so long was the fact that the time when I bought this one, my dark circles were horrible, nothing was able to hide them, so a thing like this roll on did zilch that time.

Now, thanks to this and this , my dark circles are 80% gone now.
(lol,,this line reminds me of some teleshopping advertisement :p )

See the before and after pics..

This much of coverage works for me completely :)

The cooling effect is there and it can be easily blended with fingers. Consistency is quite liquidy.
You can also see the mess that gets accumulated around the metal ball .

Lush Angels On Bare Skin ~ cleanser/scrub for all skin types

Ok, If there is one thing that I use to scrub/clean my face apart from normal face wash then it is this,,it will I guess "always" be this unless something even better comes out or I come to know about it :)

What Lush has to say about " Angels On Bare Skin"

Angelic and medieval cleansing wash with rose and lavender. Angels on Bare Skin is the Lush version of an expensive medieval skincare recipe. Rare, precious essential oils were first brought to Europe by the crusaders who encountered Arabian medicine. They were immediately banned by the church because their ability to alter states of mind was considered the devil's work! But the final result was Cosmetics 1, Church 0. Rose oil and lavender oil were discovered to do wonderful things for the skin, too. Almost a thousand years later you'd be hard pressed to find a better all round cleanser and exfoliator than Angels.


How to use it :

Dampen your face with warm water. Place a pea sized chunk in the palm of your hand and add water to create a paste. Apply to your face using small, circular motions. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. For rest results follow with the LUSH toner and moisturizer that best suit your skin type.

Ingredients :

• Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis),
 
• Glycerine,
 
• Kaolin,
• Water (Aqua),
 
• Lavender Oil (Lavandula hybrida),
 
• Rose Absolute (Rosa centifolia),
 
• Chamomile Blue Oil (Matricaria Chamomilla),
 
• Tagetes Oil (Tagetes minuta),
 
• Benzoin Resinoid (Styrax tonkinensis pierre),
 
• Lavender Flowers (Lavendula hybrida),
 
• *Limonene,
 
• *Linalool

What it has done for me :

I have a slightly sensitive skin and had acne problem for around 2 years but now thanks to THIS I am acne free now,, so I really think ten times before buying any cosmetic for my face as I do not want to make any mistake for my skin at this point in my life. 

Anything that has the world Angel associated with it catches my fancy in a second and same happened with this cleanser,,I did lil research before buying it and I am glad I did. It really works wonder for my skin and after using it I feel like my face is squeaky clean, not even a single trace of dirt remains on my face. 

It comes in a small tub and seeing it your first impression can be quite ,,ummm,,,,blahhh!! yep this is what I did but since its Lush I had faith in it.

Only a small amount (as seen in the pic) is required to clean your face and neck at a time. You really have to squish the product in your palm and make a paste with water to apply it on the face. Massage in circular motions all over your face and neck to get optimum results.

Do not use it extremely close to the eyes.

Ok now this one not only cleanses my face very well but also moisturize it nicely. I have never experienced any strecthy feeling on my face after applying this even in winters. This has never caused any acne on my face and I give all my love  to it for not doing that.

I use it every other day , but depending on your skin type you can use it daily too. The fragrance it has is like you are smelling herbs in the jungle :D yup but it disappears fast as soon as you wash it off with water. 

Always store this one in a cool and dry place and screw the lid tightly after using it.

After using this you can tone your face and then moisturize it with your normal moisturizer. I skip the toner part here but yes I do use my moisturizer for sure.

Recommendation : yes please for everyone,,for girls having slight acne issue you can try it too :)

Personally speaking when I had Acne on my face only this thing saved me and worked wonders ,,I swear by it,,  check it out HERE ,,

How to get rid of Acne forever~completely natural solution

I always had smooth skin and never felt the need to look after it besides the normal skin care routine I was practicing since long,,come 2010 and my face started breaking out like crazy,,It was like a bunch of red spots on my cheeks and rest of the face crystal clear.. :|

Honestly speaking ,, I never took this issue seriously,, I was not bothered much because allot of other stuff in my life was taking my full attention, so it was something that caught my attention quite late.

My problem with acne was this ~ 3-4 Active acne on my face with a bunch of red spots..nothing too severe but yes It started making me feel a bit low because I am that kind of a person who likes to doll up every single day :D LOL

Long story short,,,I wanted to get rid of the acne but did not had the time and patience to go for treatments or even using creams to curb off that issue completely,,in short,,a lazy bum,, ;)

So, I started asking my mum about if she ever had this issue or if any of her sister had it in their young days(I wanted to ask things that dated some 25-30 yrs back because I thought they would be completely natural and nothing cosmetic ),, My mum never had this issue but one of her sister had and she was cured by using Neem leaves,,leaves churned and mixed in hot water and then made to drink. Honestly speaking I didn't had the guts to gulp down Hot Neem water,,but this idea caught my fancy to a great extent.
A couple of days later I came up with this small method which I had used consistently for 3-4 months ,3-4 times a week and voila,,,I am acne free,, ACNE free for last 5 months,,no spots,,no breakouts,,no redness,,completely cured.
But I do use it like once in 8-10 days as it also serves as a great hydrating mask for my skin :)

Enough of blabbering..

FYI

Neem powder or Azadirachta Indica powder

(In India, the plant is variously known as "Sacred Tree," "Heal All," "Nature's Drugstore," "Village Pharmacy" and "Panacea for all diseases". Products made from neem trees have been used in India for over two millennia for their medicinal properties: neem products are believed to be anthelmintic, antifungal, antidiabetic, antibacterial, antiviral) source wikipedia 

Neem powder ~ Azadirachta Indica

Neem acts as an antibacterial product on your skin, which not only heals the active acne but also clears all the bacteria within the skin layer and stops skin from breaking out. Result : clear skin without any redness.

Turmeric powder is used on skin as it has antimicrobial properties and even anti-ageing agents.

It helps in disinfecting and makes skin color even on your face.
