eye product review : Garnier Light eye roll on

I found this 2 products in Zinati, a new make up-skincare shop in town..it's something like watson but.. middle east style maybe? hehe..i used to have the eye roll on (the yellow one) before, but i stoped using it and forgot about it until i saw it again last time. Actually what attracted me more is the new version one, the tinted eye roll on, that you can use and apply to cover dark circle. I read review about that somewhere (can't remember) and in asia (Was it jakarta?) they even named it as BB eye roll on as you know, it's the trend of BB cream so everything with a BB name would be interesting.

Anyway, the one i got has no BB name on it, but instead the name is "tinted eye roll on" and you know what.. the tinted roll on (the new version) is made in france while the regular yellow one is made in india.. and they were displayed next to each other. huh.

ok then i'll just start to review both of the eye roll on

The information from the box (the yellow regular one)

this one is the information from the box of the tinted eye roll on

the roll on.. it's easy to use. just simply apply under your eye, it will glide smoothly..

Ok, first the yellow one..
from the front packaging :
it contains caffeine and pro vitamin B5
massaging roller helps drain puffiness
immediate cooling effect
anti puffiness
anti dark circle

For people with "panda eyes" or dark circle around or under the eyes area, this product is so tempted to try. Like me.. hehe.. although somehow i knew it wouldnt work like magic but i still bought it.. again. so yes, i wanted my eyes to look fresh, without dark circle under my eyes... well ok, maybe less dark circle..
So i started using it on January.. it's been a month i used this regularly.. well, it gave a nice cooling effect but seriously... i guess i can't expect a magic here. first, you need to be patient and second, you need to also change your life style like drinking a lot of water and have enough sleep, not late after midnight sleep.
There was some days (almost a week) when i didn't feel healthy so i slept early continuesly and drank lots and lots of water.. and i could see how my dark circle on my eyes really improved!it was less visible.. but the moment i was back to old habit, sleeping late and less water.. the "panda eyes" came back although i was still using this eye roll on.
So girls.. it's not a magic product, if you want to make it work, well, you should change your life style too!!

and then there is this tinted eye roll on.. with another promise to cover dark circle..
from the front packaging :
anti dark circle care moisturizer _ tinted concealer
reduction of dark circle + immediate coverage
immediate coolong effect
with caffeine + lemon essence
instant fairness

ok,, now it also sounds like an eye concealer right.. when i first i saw it, i thought, i got to try it!
there's shade to choose from this tinted concealer, and at that time i bought this there were 2 shades only, 01 and 02.. i got mine number 02-light.. number 01 is even lighter.

 so this is the shade of this tinted eye roll on.  when i first applied it under my eye.. omg,, it's toooo light! but when i used my finger to smear it evenly somehow the colour just adjusted and set perfectly.  So since then i used this roll on as an under eye concealer. the texture is very light, not creamy or thick, and easy to apply. i needed my finger ti do the job but it was great. I don't know how it effected permanently but as for now i've been using it for a month everyday in the morning as an eye concealer before applying bb cream, while the yellow one i used it at night or in the morning when i woke up before shower.

my conclusion?

again, not a magic product, but fun to try and since it's not really expensive so i don't mind repurchase this when mine is finish. or maybe i will just repurchase the tinted roll on one to use as an eye concealer.

eye make up review : etude house line nuance duo

This is an eye make up from etude house, line nuance duo. last year i was impressed with etude house code B gel eye liner, so i decided to try more eye make up product from etude house. I chose this one, and i', so glad i did!!
So what is this? It's a duo function of eye liner and eye shadow. the left one is the eye liner and the right one is eye shadow. There are 4 colours to choose :

i chose number 2, which is brown colour for the eye liner and peachy-light brown for the shadow.
To give you more information about this line duo, here are some pictures from etude house;

 

how to use :

 My experience with etude house line nuance duo

now let's take a look closer of my etude house line nuance duo;

the closer look for the liner. it's the crayon type, not pencil. no need for sharpener. it's soft and easy to apply. i feel in love straightaway! first i was just using it for my eye lid, but then i tried to use it for my under eye too and i looooove it. it gave natural look, not too much like when you use liquid or gel eye liner.

closer look for the shadow. it's like an eye shadow tip but with colour. easy to apply, the colour also nice with a shimmer but not too overpowering. the colour is soft and natural look, not too showing on my eye lid.. i think i gotta try other colours..

the swatch, left : liner and right: shadow. as you can see, the eye shadow colour is pale and not really showing on the skin.

i always use this almost everytime i go out. i really like it specially for natural and everyday look. i'm even thinking to buy another one, different colour if i get a chance to visit etude house on my next visit to Jakarta.

eye brow pencil review : Skin food Choco powder eyebrow wood pencil

Many many years before (ok, maybe my college years when i started to put something else on my face other than sun block, lotion and loose powder) i always used random eye brow products. i don't really care about brands or type for this cosmetic product. For me all of them are just same. In fact i never bought one that time. i just asked my mom to give me one of her eye brow. Normally she gave me the old one, the one that already short or half pencil, then i would just use it. Oh, and the colour is always black.

Then after i finished college and started to work, one day i stopped by at maybelline counter and i was interested with the eye brow product, i forgot the name, but it's not a pencil type, like thin crayon, with a brush on the other side. the colour was brown and i loved it straightaway, and i bought it, and even repurchased for the same product.

Now back to the reality at the present day, since i am into korean brands now, and always purchased many items every year, i thought, why not trying eyebrow pencil from one of my favourite brand, the skin food?
so i chose this one, the choco powder eyebrow no.#2 which is black brown.

information from skinfood website :

Choco Powder Eyebrow Wood Pencil #2 Black-Brown

This long-lasting powder brow pencil has a velvety-smooth texture that allows for easy application, leaving no chalky residue. It creates beautifully natural brows without smudging.

My experience with skin food choco powder eyebrow :

First, from the look, it looks just like any other ordinary eyebrow pencil, nothing special, AND..... one day i put it inside my cosmetic bag to carry with me, and when i went back home,,, You know what happened?

TARAAA...

it was broken! somehow it was just teared apart into 2 pieces..

WHAAATTT....!how could it be so fragile?! i was sure that my make up bag was big enough and this eyebrow pencil was fit perfectly there.. but whhhyyyy....?

anyway... apart from how it was broken like that, of course it was still working and didn't damaged the whole product so i could still use it.. until Now.

The pencil?

 This is how the pencil looks like. it's easy to sharpen. I think i did sharpened it twice. the application with this eyebrow pencil is easy.

swatch

the perfect colour for my eyebrow! yeaaaaayyy... it looks natural on my eyebrow and the colour is perfect match so i looove it. The colour is even better than my previous favourite maybelline. The one from maybelline is brown, so it was actually a little bit too light, but this one is black brown so it is just perfect!

My conclusion :
oh, i looove this eyebrow pencil specially because of the perfect colour. and it's cheap!!! range around RP.35.000-Rp.40.000 if you order online. it's cheap and will last forever! lol. This one gave me a good impression of korean brand eye brow pencil. when it finish one day i will definitely buy eyebrow pencil from skinfood (maybe another type) or other korean brands like etude house, baviphat or tony moly.
