Garnier Anti-Dark-Circle Eye Roller


Hello lovely people! Today I want to introduce you to the Garnier - Roll-on Anti-Dark-Circle Eye Roller. I've talked about it on some Monthly Favourites and I thought it was time write about this lovely product!

 I have to admit I have dark-circle and I hate them. I get lack of sleep and sometimes it gets really stressful at school so my eyes look really tired. That's why concealer is a must in my makeup routine. I've tried to find a prodcut that actually work on dark circles. I came across this one for about two years ago and love it for everyday use.
 What it should do:
Instantly roll away dark circles. Caffeine Gel + Rollerball energizes and stimulates microcirculation. Lemon Essence brightens. Tinted mineral pigments instantly corrects dark circles.In 1 week: eyes look bright. Is right for you if you want to instantly correct the appearance of dark circles and brighten the skin around your eyes!

All that sounds like this product does wonders to your eyes. And in my opinion in does.

Packaging/Application

The concealer comes in a huge 15ml container. What makes it easy to carry around in your bag. If you take of the closure head you can see a rollerball. The rollerball makes it really easy to apply this under your eyes from the inner corner to the outer corner. I roll it about one to two times. After that I like to blend it in by only using my fingers.

Texture/Coverage/Colour

The consistency is quite thin and liquid so it adapts to my skin very well. The coverage is nice light and luminous so it's good for everyday use as it makes me look more awake.
It is definitely yellow/oranged toned but I suppose because you need that to cancel the blue/purple veins that show through the skin around the eyes. I have the one in the shade 02 - fair

Price/Where to buy

It's available in every drugstore for about £11. You can purchased it in 4 different shades:
 - very fair
 - fair 02 
 - medium
 - dark

What I think

All in one it's a great product that I highly recommend to every one whose dark circles show though the skin around the eyes. It gives a really nice light luminous coverage what is good for everyday use. It does fade a bit by end of the day but that's totally expected. I also love to use it in other areas on my face like around my nose(where I tend to get redness) and on my cheekbones.

the Round-Up

Pros:
- easy to use
- lightens the dark circles around your eyes
- doesn't settle into lines 
- dark circles much less noticeable

Cons:
- should be blended by your fingers to get a natural looking coverage
- brightens more than conceals 


I would love to know if you have dark circles and what products you use to conceal or brighten up the area around your eyes! Let me know! xx

September Favourites!


 Hello people! I can't believe it's already October; this year is going so quickly (there are only 84 days until christmas YAY :) But seriously, where did the summer go? It feels like I was just getting in to that summer feeling(if you know what I mean), only to find the fall knocking at my door.  Anyway I looove fall time and cozy sweaters, hot drinks and just seeing that the leaves change the colour... Is it just me?! Without further ado - my September favourites! :)

Ellite Paris Eye Liner in 01 Black Out
Ushuaia Déodorant 24h in Vanille de Polynésie
Yves Rocher Hand Cream in Vanilla/Lemon
Maybelline New York Baby Lips in Cherry Me
Dr. Fix - On your lips Care in Kiwi & Passion Fruit

I'm not quite a lover of eye liners but I came across this one and I was quite impressed. It stays really long and it really defines my eyes. I'm planning on doing a review later month.

The next product I've been using is this antiperspirant I got this from a friend who visited France earlier this year. This smells divine after vanilla. It doesn't really has a strong scent what I think is really good. If you want to try this out I found a shop who sends this world wide.

An absolutely must-have for me during fall/winter time is hand cream. My hands tend to get very dry so I always carry a hand cream with me. This one from Yves Rocher was released in the Christmas edition from 2012. This hand cream makes my hands incredible soft and the scent is very sweet that makes you feel cozy and festive.

Here it is: the much talked Baby Lips. I only own it for a few weeks because here in Switzerland they're released a bit late but I bought them anyway! I only have to say two things: scent is amazing and love that it leaves a bit of colour on your lips! Definitely worth the hype!

And last but not least Dr.Fix's On Your Lips. My friend bought me this lip balm while she was on holiday in Greece. I really like it but unfortunately I couldn't find a site where they buy it but I will keep an eye out for this and as soon as I find it I'll let you know. :)

What products have you been loving last month? Let me know! xx

What is your favourite season of the year and why? Let me know! Have a wonderful day :) xx

Would You Rather TAG - Beauty Edition


I recently was watching Tanja aka TanjaBurr's videos on Youtube and saw her do this cute Tag what seemed quite funny. I would love to do more Tag posts in the future so please let me know if you enjoyed this down below!

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?
I don't want to lose any of it! First I thought I would rather lose all of my palettes and eyeshadows because I couldn't live without mascara. But sooner I thought that I have to replace all my mascaras and eyeliners because they have a shorter shelf life than the most of my eyeshadows and palettes. So I would rather lose my mascaras, eyeliners and lipsticks!

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?
If I would chop off all of my hair it would grow again, but if I let it grow and never be able to cut it again it would be awful to treat my hair, only imagine the tangles my curly hair would get into. But on the other side, my hair grows really slowly so I would rather never be able to cut my hair again.

3. Would you rather have coral cheek or a pink cheek?
I prefer to use coral blushes and with a coral cheek you could use nearly every lipstick, so I would rather have a coral cheek!

4. If you have had $1,000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?
Hard one! I love shopping clothes and makeup but probably I would spend all the money on makeup because I could buy all these high end brands that I normally don't use. :)

5. Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?
It would depend on the texture of the lipstick. If I would use a matte deep-colored lipsticks it could probably work but a shiny one?! That would so smudge. I can imagine using eyeliner as lipstick but only if the eyeliner isn't black but a pretty pink, nude or bronze color!

6. Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?
I have some really awesome products from MAC but I love to try out new products! In Sephora there were so many brands I could try out!

7. Would you rather only use one eyeshadow colour or one lip colour for the rest of your life?
I'm not really a lover of lipsticks or lipglosses and in my everyday I tend to use brown and bronze shades. I would have to say one eyeshadow color.

8. Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?
I don't like being too hot because I get really fast sweaty so I would go with summer clothes in winter. I still could use cardigans and tights!

9. Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year around?
Bright nails! I have a quite big nail polish collection. But just a few polishes are dark. I gravitate toward the light or bright colors much more!

10. Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?
My favorite lip products at the moment are the Labello Fruity Shine Pink Guava and the Revlon Lip Butters. The choice of my favorite lip products change all the time, because there are so many out there that I want to try, but most of the time I put the lip balm or the lip stick in my bag and I never see it again! Unfortunately I lost my lip products really fast :( So I would rather give up my favorite lip product.

11. Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?
Whatever I do I can't do a messy bun. My hair is too curly or too long to put in a bun, all my hair ties broke immediately. So I would go with a ponytail!

12. Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lip gloss?
Like I said on the top, I don't like to use lip gloss. I hate it when the wind blows and all my hair sticks on my lips. But I really like to use the Juicy Tubes Mood from Lancôme, they are amazing! I would go with never use lip gloss again!

13. Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?
This question tops everything. I can imagine me without eyebrows. That would definitely look weird. But sharpie them in everyday? Is there even a sharpie out there with the perfect size? I think it's better without eyebrows than sharpie them everyday but I can't really answer this question. I've searched on google some pictures of people without eyebrows and other people with sharpie ones and I just can say: Look good after your eyebrows people! :)

14. Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?
I would rather live without nail polish because I'm more attached to my makeup but  I have to say I also could live without makeup but who would want to! :)


So that's it! I answered the all the questions. I had really fun doing this and I would love to read your TAG. So if you did this TAG or any other I would love to hear about! Have a nice day. xx
