Review: Garnier Caffine Anti-Dark Circles 2-in-1 Roll-on

I absolutely love this eye roll-on.  The formula is light and refreshing, does not cake, does not settle into my fine lines, and brightens my undereye area.  It also lasts the full day, and that's without using powder on top.  I have used this every morning for the past 2 months, and can't see myself changing from this routine any time soon.  It has a very light coverage, so those that needs a concealer to cover dark undereye circles, this isn't for you, and I never recommend putting heavy concealer under the eyes then putting this on top as it can cause cakiness.  For days when I need slightly more coverage, I do put on Bobbi Brown's Corrector on under this, as I would do if I was using any concealer.

What Garnier says about this product:

This is our 1st 2-in-1 eye product: 1- eye care with caffeine to hydrate and refresh; 2- tinted mineral pigments to instantly cover dark circles. The combination in a cooling roll-on applicator works wonders! It’s ideal for a gentle, hygienic application in the sensitive eye area and the non-messy roll-on applicator is convenient for use on-the-go.

Garnier Caffeine Anti-dark Circles 2-in-1 Roll-on has a 2-in-1 formula:

1. Moisturising eye cream & a cooling roller ball: refreshes and hydrates tired-looking eyes
2. With mineral enriched pigments it instantly covers dark circles
    

Available in 4 shades to perfectly adapt to your skin tone:

• Very Fair
• Fair
• Medium
• Dark

How to Use

For best results with Garnier Caffeine Anti-dark Circles 2-in-1 Roll-on:
Whenever dark circles appear, apply Caffeine Anti-dark Circles Roll-on, in circular massaging motions, onto the under eye area, from the inside towards the temples. The 2-in-1 eye care instant concealer formula will be applied automatically via the roller ball. Gently blend in the formula with finger tips, as if makeup, for flawless coverage of dark circles.

Review: YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat liquid Foundation

I had been looking forward to this foundation since I first heard about it ages ago - being a Touche Eclat Pen fan for as long as I can remember, hearing about its foundation version is super exciting. 

What YSL has to say about this foundation:

"Harnessing the brand’s signature flaw-fixing technology, Le Teint Touche Éclat is packed with light-reflecting pigments to diffuse dark shadows.

An instant illuminator, the weightless fluid glides onto skin to provide medium, buildable coverage, although if you’re blighted by blemishes or dark spots, you might have to follow up with a concealer to fully disguise flaws.

Void of the foundation faux-pas placed in other products, instead of opaque powders and mother-of-pearl extract – usually used to mattify skin and boost luminosity respectively – the brand has laced Le Teint Touche Éclat which golden pigments and a soft focus gel designed to smooth skin."

This foundation is priced at £28 - which is cheaper than all their other foundations, and comes with a pump dispenser.  The pump alone makes me happy as I've never been a fan of their brushes that comes attached to their other foundations.

I was lucky enough to get a weeks sample from Debenhams having been colour corrected by the assistant their to be BD50 - this matched me perfectly as I'm between NC25 and NC30 at the moment.  Although as mentioned in the video I would have loved to love this foundation, to me its only ok.  It is described as a medium coverage that is buildable but I found it more to be a light coverage and building too much leads to oiliness and caking.  The lasting power is around 3 hours...pushing it maybe 4 hours but I was very sleek looking by then, and blotting using blotting sheets, I noticed it transfered really easy. 
PROS include when freshly applied, I looked amazing, really natural, fresh and glowing - I really liked how it made me look.  It feels really light like water when applying and has a nice cucumber scent simialr to the Clarins foundations scent.  I would definately wear this when I'm not out for a full day as its really natural, but I unfortuately can't recommend it to someone who needs it on for a full working day unless they are willing to reapply. 

I doubt it's suitable for anyone with really oily skin as I have combination/oily and I found that with my skin type my oils came through easily come the 3 hour mark, even after using primer and powder.  But will look amazing on someone with normal/dry skin.

Like I said, it looks amazing when I freshly apply it and loves how it makes me look but because of the lasting power, I'm debating whether its worth buying the full size foundation as I will only be able to wear it for a few hours unless I want to take it with me to reapply!

What I forgot to mention in the video/Update:

Also important to know, is that this foundation does oxidise/gradually get slightly darker - bareing in mind I have oily/combo skin and this may be the cause of it, but I saw a noticable difference in shade during the day, so you may want to sample a lighter colour for a better match!
I also managed to try this foundation out using a Fixing spray (both Skindanavia & Collection 2000), and I found that although it did make the foundation stay put, I still looked super oily at the end of a not so long day - again just wanted to get this information out so you can make a more informed choice on whether this foundation is for you!


Le Teint Touche Éclat is available in 22 shades and launches exclusively at Selfridges and Brown Thomas on June 28 before hitting beauty counters nationwide on July 9.

Let me know what you think and whether you think it's worth me buying!

YSL Le Teint Touche Elcat Foundation!

I have been using the YSL Touche Elcat Pen since.......forever, when I heard they're bringing out a foundation with all the qualities of the Touche Elcat I was super duper excited!!

With one sold every 10 seconds, YSL's Touche Éclat highlighter has been a beauty icon ever since its launch in 1991.  Now with its foundation equivalent launch this June, they maybe the perfect base makeup to have!

Le Teint Touche Éclat contains moisturising ingredients that nourishes the skin as well as conceal imperfections while retaining the illuminating effect that the original Touche Éclat has.  22 shades will be avalible so hopefully a shade to fit us all!
Available exclusively at Selfridges and Brown Thomas from June 28, and nationwide from July 9.
