Garnier Coffeine Roll-On Tinted Concealer review

Garnier has been pleasantly surprising me again. I really think the drugstore brands have improved alot lately, maybe because of the recession... but is great because as far as I've noticed, right now you can get really great products even if you are on a budget, as long as you take a bit of time to look for them and pick them correctly for your skin or hair type. I am now gonna talk about the Garnier Coffeine Roll-On Tinted Concealer, that I have been using for quite a few good weeks now, so I can finally give an honest and documented oppinion on!
Here is how it looks:




It has got the little metal ball, that stays cold and helps reduce the eye circles and the puffiness, but in my oppinion you have to keep massaging your undereye area longer than just the time that you need to apply the concealer, to get actual results in that regrds... but that is only my oppinion, I personally don't have any puffiness under my eyes (except for when I had cried for a while, lol, and that is not so easy to make vanish) so I couldn't really check that one out.
The coverage is not full, is actually sheer and light, I think its more illuminating that covering, which is not a bad thing unless you have really bad dark circles. In that case, this won't work alone. At times I use this as a base and add a tad bit of my Clinique All About Eyes concealer on top, especially on the edges of the circles, where they are more visible. I do like this tho, because I have a very dry eye area and everything that I apply seems to gather into my fine lines sooner or later, so this watery-like formula is so thin and it actually absorbs well into the skin that there is not much left to gather! The pigments stay on the skin but the actual formula is absorbed inside and it hydrates the area at the same time, which makes it a brilliant product for me personally :) I can't talk about other people but I do love it.
Here is how I look with it on one eye (scary, I know, but the pics are for a good purpose so bear with me!):



I guess the difference is visible, no need for me to tell you on which eye I applied the concealer. Or? :)
Disregard my nose, it was just too close to the lens so it looks like a cucumber. I need nose concealer too! To make it look way smaller!

One thing I don't really dig about this product is that whenever I apply it I get a tingling sensation in my eyes for a minute, like a stinging, like when something irritates your eyes and makes them water. That could be because of the lemon essence in it and because my eyes are super duper sensitive. So you probably won't get that.

Okay so that was my review for this product.
Hoping to discover more and more drugstore exceptionally good products in the near future!
yours truly,
