I’ve been pulling in too many late nights lately, and in an attempt to get me into bed, my husband mentioned that my under-eye circles were starting to show. That only made me jump off the bed and straight to my mirror to inspect. Although I would love to blame it on the lighting in my room, they were pretty obvious.

I knew exactly what I had to do. The next morning, I whipped out my Garnier Light Brightening Eye Roll-On.

The roll-on is a huge bestseller worldwide – one was sold every 30 seconds when it first launched – in fact, it is still quite hard to find here too.

So you’ve basically got a roller-ball attached to a wand containing the product, which dispenses the right amount of the liquid-gel, and the action of rolling it around the eye area helps decongest the under-eye area. It’s supposed to be refreshing, too, but somehow I couldn’t tell. What I love to do though, is to chill it before using.

It’s formulated with caffeine, known to improve microcirculation, and I think it’s a great quick-fixer. I call this my must-have product for new mums #1!

Garnier’s also introduced the Aqua Defense Eye Roll-On, a steal at RM21.90.

It’s packed with Pro-Vitamin B5 to prevent dark circles, hydrate and refresh eye contours, as well as grape and apple water for their antioxidant properties.

Both products are best used in the mornings – I prefer something a bit richer at night. I can’t call this a moisturiser because it just doesn’t feel like one – but use this to de-puff and banish those under-eye circles.

And to keep hubby quiet.

p.s: I’ve also included a tutorial on application methods, for your viewing pleasure.
