If there's something I've learned in more than 2 years of blogging is that LOW PRICE doesn't necessarily equate to LOW QUALITY products. Through the years of being a beauty addict, I've been disappointed by a lot of products may it be high end or low end ones, but before the products that has given me the worst impressions are drugstore products.
Drugstore beauty products have been given a bad rap, because years ago drugstores have been plagued by inferior beauty and skincare items. But, Lo and behold! Things are changing for the better! I've been seeing a lot of beauty and skincare products that have potential and exceeded my expectations but doesn't break the bank.
I know everybody's trying to cut back on the expenses nowadays, and some who even used to buy high end beauty products are now opting for mid range and inexpensive ones due to financial constraints. I, for one, used to avoid drugstore skincare because the ones I've tried before wrecked havoc in my skin instead of improving it. I also used to stay away from drugstore makeup because the quality used to be inferior, and instead of saving I would just have a useless product; hence, wasted money! Not anymore! With most drugstore brands reformulating and coming out of new products, the drugstore is not anymore a place to be avoided for the search of good beauty and skincare products.
I want to show you guys that the price of beauty doesn't need to be expensive, and you don't have to sacrifice beauty! So I came up a weekly segment, called "Weekend Savings," where I'll be featuring inexpensive products that performs! I'll try to feature a product once a week, and if you guys want to try a certain product or you would want me to review something for you guys feel free to comment or email me or leave a message on my message box on the side of my blog.
My first feature in my Weekend Savings segment is
Garnier Light Instant Fairness BB Eye Roll-On
I ran out of my Laura Mercier Undercover Pot, and I'm not willing to shell out money for an expensive undereye concealer as of late, because I'm saving for my out of the country trip next month. I've watched youtube gurus raving about this product, and it's very much hyped so it's just natural that it would be the first thing I'd try.
And I'm pleased to report that it didn't disappoint!
Not only did it brightened up my undereyes, but it covered the darkness of my undereye circles!
It's lightweight and doesn't crease. It has a good staying power. I usually apply this around 7 in the morning and it's still there when I come home 6 in the evening.
With or without setting powder it stayed on.
Another thing I liked is it does decrease the puffiness of my undereye circles, and the cold metal roller ball feels soothing.
The best part is it only costs around 220 pesos (around $4)!
My only wish is that they come up with more shades, so our sisters and brothers with fairer or darker skintones could enjoy the product too.
Here's a swatch:
I'm so satisfied with this product that I won't be buying other undereye concealer anytime soon!
So how about you guys?
