Products meet my garbage can!

*L'OREAL YOUTH CODE
*AVEENO Active Naturals
*SIMPLE Soothing Facial Toner
*GARNIER Skin Renew B.B Cream

Hmm Where to start....
Oh I KNOW! The biggest disappointment...

 Claims: Discover an innovation inspired by gene science.
This powerful daily moisturizer helps replenish skin's moisture barrier so it regains the qualities of young-looking skin. Skin looks rested, smoother and youthfully luminous.

Reality:I had high hopes for this and since I have seen enough adds for it I was thinking okay maybe this might be freaking awesome.Basically this felt like sunscreen. I guess with the whole 30spf I should have known better. I did not notice any extra moisture to my skin, no younger looking skin and it just felt too greasy. This product did not absorb nicely in my skin and I am not a fan. I did purchase this for like $4.00 on clearance so luckily there wasn't much money wasted on this one. I just wouldn't recommend this to anyone with oily to combo skin, or anyone with a face. :p The only pro I can think of for this is the pump, gotta love products that actually have a pump!

 Claims:This naturally nourishing lotion contains Natural Colloidal Oatmeal blended with rich emollients and is now proven to help skin build a "moisture reserve," so skin can replenish itself. Its fast-absorbing formula helps prevent and protect dry skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and naturally healthy looking. It's fragrance free, non-greasy, noncomedogenic and gentle enough for everyday use - good for sensitive skin.

Reality: Sounds pretty nice hey? Welllll we've all seen the Aveeno commercials and I did think okay fine I will give it a try especially since it was a travel size what harm is it? I purchased this for my tattoo that I had gotten in the summer thinking since its fragrance free, noncomedogenic it would be a great moisturizer for it. WRONG it burned like a mother fucker! I had to wipe it off and use my jergens instead. Okay okay maybe this isn't meant for new tattoos but if Jergens is I would think Aveeno would be. I did randomly use this but it didn't have any major pros.

Claims:Our Soothing Facial Toner leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed, plus it's a perfect blend of our purest possible skin loving ingredients with an added vitamin. 

Reality: You know when you rinse your skin with water? Well that's pretty much what this is only its about $7. PLEASE someone explain the hype of these Simple products?! I have tried 3 different products and been extremely disappointed with all of them. I do not have super sensitive skin so these might work more for that type of skin.
Maybe my bottle was just replaced with water before I bought it?;)

Claims: All-in-one skin care that gives 5 benefits: Hydrates, corrects wrinkles and imperfections, protects, evens and brightens skin tone.

Reality: Oh they seemed to have forgot to mention these benefits too, added greasiness,grossness and shiny face syndrome included for one low price! This made my face look like it was sopping wet covered in grease. Sick! The scent is pretty over powering if you are sensitive to scents.
I liked the color and how light this product is since I am not a big fan of foundation this is a good alternative. Possibly if you have dry skin this might work for you but as for us oily people stay clear!

Okay enough being dramatic..these just didn't work for me.

Have you tried any of these? Any better luck then me?

Aveeno Anti-Fatigue Eye Roller Review

1:00 AM

 AVEENO ACTIVE NATURALS
ANTI-FATIGUE EYE ROLLER

 
I was very lucky to get the opportunity to test Aveeno's Active Naturals Anti-Fatigue Eye Roller. out, Thank you ChickAdvisor =D =D


Aveeno's Anti-Fatigue eye roller reduces the look of puffiness and dark circles.

First I will say I have regular bags under my eyes some days, nothing crazy but noticeable so I was very pleased to be able to test this out.This is the first roller ball kind of application I have tried.
The packaging is very cute and the design is great. At first when I opened the lid I wondered why the ball on the end was metal but of course it makes sense, it stays cool to help with the de-puffing!
The scent is a nice floral scent, not too strong and it doesn't linger for those of you that do not like strong scents.
 

Now for the outcome of this, I applied this under my eyes in the am when my bags are the most puffy. I do not suffer from the dark circles so I can't tell you if it does help with that =/ Once applied to under eyes it was a nice cooling sensation and the eye area felt slightly more firm as if the puffiness was going down.

Overall I do think this slightly helped but did not completely decrease the puffiness under my eyes. It definitely is better then using nothing but I do not find this a complete solution.
I would recommend this to try if you do suffer from large amounts of puffiness but it will not completely erase that.
The price is steep, around $20 but I do think this will last quite a while since it is just a small layer being used as well the product is designed to allow just enough to come out at a time, unlike a squeeze tube or something.
 
Have you tried this? 
What is your favorite eye roller?
