My thoughts on some new Garnier products...

Hello my lovely readers? How was your week? Work was quite busy for me and I can safely say I cannot wait to tuck myself in and go to bed. 

But before I do, I would like to share some of my thoughts with you, concerning some new Garnier products I got to try both at an event (a couple of weeks ago) as well as at home. 

Now I thought I should put some pictures together for you from the actual event. 

I very rarely feature events on my blog but this one was special simply because we got to try so much of the new stuff that are expected to hit the market in the coming months. This means that I get to report back to you about all the new and exciting products that you should expect. From body and hair oils to concealer bb creams, to sunscreen bb creams, to very interesting moisturizers. These are some of the products that caught my eye during the presentation....!!

I can safely say that I cannot wait to try the body oil when it comes out. I was also excited to see the Ambre Solair bb cream but I was a little disappointed since it will only come in one colour which is most definately way too dark for me.

We also got to take home two products. On the left and bottom of the picture below you can see the new under eye concealer bb cream and on the top-right corner the Fructis Miraculous oil hair oil. 

Now I have been using both these products for the past couple of weeks and I have some thoughts to share with you.

1. Fructis Miraculous oil hair oil: I really like this product. Even though my roots are quite oily I think that this argan oil infused product works really well for my dry ends. I use it as a treatment two to three times a week. I apply 2 pumps to the ends of my hair, leave it in for an hour or so and then wash my hair. I think this affordable oil (which is already available in stores btw) has knocked it out of the park. I mean, there are tons of hair oils out there but most of the ones I have tried have that silicone-feeling to them which does nothing for me. This one doesn't and I really enjoy that. 

2. Under-eye concealer bb cream: Now, let me firstly say that I get some nasty allergic reactions around my eyes so I was not able to use it directly on my under-eye area. 

This product is basically a much thinner version of the original bb bream and it comes with a roller-ball applicator which is actually lots of fun to use. It is tiny yet it has enough product in there. I really cannot tell you whether this is a good under-eye concealer or not since, as I have already mentioned, I cannot test it that way. I have however been using it to touch up during the day (since it's size allows me to carry it with me) and it works fine. Again, I would love to see more of a colour range for this product. I would like to keep using it and let you know in the future however at this point in time I would say that it is a nice product however I am not feeling it as much as the hair oil. 

Overall one thing is for sure...you can expect lots of new products from the brand in the next few months. :) 

 

Now, please do keep in mind that my opinions are my own. I am not swayed by free products however I am happy to be able to test things so you don't have to go out spending money without having the full picture.
