This is one of those products that I would totally recommend AGAINST getting. It does nothing besides feeling nice, cooling and refreshing, temporarily when you apply it. This review gets right down to the point eh? I feel quite strongly about this product. I bought this ages ago, and it sits amongst the rest of my makeup mocking me.. haha you bought me, loser! You fell for my lies, sucker! Don't be a sucker, don't buy this gimmicky product.
I am not a fan of the packaging, it leaks and you have to keep it standing up (not travel friendly at all), so I put it with my makeup brushes. It didn't do anything for under-eye circles. In terms of application, I find that I had to hold the product upside down vertically to ensure that the product dispenses properly. I saw an advertisement on tv about it being Canada's best selling eye product or something, I bet the majority of those purchasers were disappointed.
This product is describes that it will "roll away under-eye puffiness and dark circles for brighter, more radiant eyes" (
Garnier website). The idea behind the product is that the caffeine in the product is supposed to decongest, revive and tighten your under-eye area. The massaging roller idea is cute and I like that, but it just doesn't work, and it seems to tug at the skin too, which isn't cute. This is a type of product that a lot of people would buy, since it is appealing, but will be disappointed with unfortunately.
Also, if you do use this, you need to give it a chance, use it for a month or so to actually say if you saw results or not. I find that sleep, drinking lots of water, and/or cool tea bags on your eyes is your best bet to get rid of bags and puffiness under the eyes, and a good under-eye concealer, that is the route that I would go instead.
Have any of you used this product? Did you see results?
I have the yellow (Brightening) one nd it doesn't really do anything.. for me anyway. I agree that it just feels nice and cool when using it.. but only when using it and but that's just about it. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for a gimmick and I fell for this one as well. It's rubbish - doesn't do anything at all. Mine is currently sitting in the fridge with my lipsticks - I should just throw it out and be done with it.
ReplyDeleteI've never had any problems with it leaking, though.
LOL omg i love the way you do reviews! & yeah i heard this didn't do anything =( pitty, there was so much hype before it actually came out! i have horrible dark, dark, dark, dead looking undereyes and i really hoped that this world work :'(
ReplyDeletewell thank god you posted this! I almost bought this at CVS the other day because it was 50% off. I was thinking about going back to get it. It think I'll save my money :)
ReplyDeletethank you very much for such a good and funny review. I won't buy it, of course.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of getting the tinted one! Has anybody tried that?

@Stavroula - the concealer one? I would, but haven't located it around here at all.
ReplyDeleteYeah the one that's exactly like that, but colored! :)

I picked this up when I was back in the states for xmas as I was using my moms. I found it was refreshing, but like you said didn't really do much. I haven't really touched it since then. Mine hasnt leaked though and thats with an 11 hour flight to Tokyo!
ReplyDeleteI may try and use it everyday for a month just to see if it really works.
I'm starting to think all these eye products meant for getting rid of bags/dark circles etc are just a complete waste of money- i've never found one that works and you've gone and found another! :)
ReplyDeleteI think i'll just stick to conealing them!
Funny you just posted this- I saw this at Target today on clearance and probably would have picked it up had I not seen your review! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI came to the same conclusion. It's just not a great product. For under eyes, I have a Palmers dark under eye cream. Its really good.
ReplyDeleteI am also running a mineral makeup giveaway on my blog at the moment if you are interested in entering.
