Garnier Eye Roll-on

luckyclover · Dooney & Bourke

I saw this in a mag today and I think I'm gonna try it. I'll let you know after I do.

ttara - I always had problems with dark circles (terrible!) until I started using Dr. Weil for Origins Eye Serum. It is the only eye cream I have ever seen a difference from, and I can even skip the undereye concealer now if I want to! (that was never a possibility for me before)

wow! that's great to hear! how long did it take to see results?

Hermione · Kate Spade

It was pretty fast. I don't remember exactly, but maybe a month? I just know that it was fast enough to convince me to stick with it - the only eye cream I have EVER felt like was doing anything (and I've tried alot!)

Tati · Chanel

is it the Plantidote Mega-Mushroom eye serum?

Hermione · Kate Spade

yes, that's the one!

Kelly · Hermes

Thanks Hermione! I'll have to try that. No creams I've used so far are impressing me. And I *hate* using concealer - I feel like it just gets into my wrinkles and makes me look even worse. I've tried a million kinds, I'm pretty convinced that there's no kind that won't do that!

Hermione · Kate Spade

also if you use it and it doesn't work, you can return it! Origins is very good about that.

Have you tried Prescriptives Site Unseen Brightening Concealer SPF 15? It reminds me of YSL's Touche Eclat but much cheaper ($22). I have the same problem with concealer creasing and was very impressed this one did not. It's not overly creamy, dries very quickly, and blends well into the skin. Just make sure you tap it in, do not rub. It also covered my darkness very well and stays on all day. The tube also lasted a long time, and you only need about 1 click for each eye. I usually use Bobbi Brown's eye cream underneath it to prime. However I just purchased the Origins eye serum Hermoine recommended, so I'm not sure how well it will work this concealer.

I was going to try the Garnier thing a couple of weeks ago but passed due to lack of good reviews on MUA (not that there were bad ones, just no good ones). I haven't looked back recently to see if there are more.

If we're doling out suggestions, the best eye cream I've ever, ever tried is Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair. I always get samples of it and they last forever. It only takes a tiny drop to cover each eye. I can tell a difference overnight when I use it. It completely changes the texture of the skin around my eyes. I can't really explain it except to say that I look tons better when I use it. I don't have huge dark circle issues though, so I can't really speak on that. But crow's feet and random bumps? All gone. I also have an issue with puffy eyes (allergies) and this really helps.

Love MUA! I check there before I ever buy any cosmetics ...

I have one by REN, its a jell that I LOVE. They sell it at sephora, it works great!

sydney · Kate Spade

Kinda of expensive, but I like Hylexin - especially if you can find it cheaper at Costco (sometimes)

I would pass on the Garnier eye roll on. I have it and dislike it. It doesn't seem to do anything. I really wish I could take it back, but I bought it at Wal-Mart.
