Review: Ulta double Duty Concealer & Dark Circle Treatment

Hello!  Ulta was having a buy one get one free sale and I have been looking for a few things and I was at the face section and I saw this and was intrigued. This is a concealer and dark circle treatment and I'm always out on the look  for products that could potentially save me from my dark circles

This is a light to medium coverage concealer. I wasn't overtly impressed with the coverage, it covered my dark circles but it wasn't amazing. 

I hate the packaging! At first I thought I was going to love the roller ball application but for this concealer it is the worst thing Ulta could have thought of. The roller ball doesn't move unless you press super hard. That pulls on the skin and doesn't even roll out evenly. The packaging says to glide on the skin, its more like an un-moving marble tugging on your under eye skin. Not very comfortable.  Extremely patchy and barely any product comes out at all. The consistency is too thick to roll and can't be used that way.

I de-potted the concealer in to a little pot thinking I would use the product as a regular concealer but honestly I don't go out of my way to grab this product for under eye concealing. It does the job but I have other concealers that packaging actually work and perform better.

My vote: not worth it!

Review: Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Roller.

Wow guys it has been a while. sorry for the lack of updates but I'm still trying to adjust from the workload from school and work, but I think I got it figured out so I should be back to normal soon.

So today I have  a review on the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Roller. I found out about this product though one of my favorite makeup bloggers and I wanted to have a try at it.  I have had this product for a long time and it has taken me some time to realize what is the best way to use this product. When I first got this I apply it straight to my under eye area but it would always crease and actually enhanced the darkness under my eyes with a grey shadow . So I stopped using it for a long time and then out of the blue after I improved my skin care routine I figured out that,for me it works best when my under eye area is very moisturized. 

This product  is marketed for people who want to diminish the look of dark circles and help fade them over time. It comes packaged in a tube bottle with a roll on applicator. What I really like is that it is a metal ball so that in the morning it is nice and cold. Which makes is refreshing to apply in the morning. I like to  store this upside down so that the serum come out more evenly instead of having to hold it upside down and waiting for the product to come out. This is a lightly tinted serum that helps in concealing the darkness. The color is very light and of neutral tone. If offers every light coverage, and on a good day I can go out with just that as my under eye concealer. But most of the time I still have to apply a concealer for more coverage.

 

Over all I like and enjoy this product. I feel that is has help with my dark circles. A first I though it was garbage because I couldn't get it to work for me but after lots of trial and error I got it to work for me and now I really like it.  I think it is a product worth trying and maybe it'll help you.
