(More) product use-ups - would I buy again?

Another week, another load of products that i've finally finished!

Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy

£10 for 30ml EDP (special offer at Boots)

Despite this being the "Midnight" variety of Fantasy and thus meant to be more musky, etc, I find this is still a really fruity sweet smell, and whilst I do like it, I think I prefer the original Fantasy. However I can't tell you how many compliments i've had when i've worn it, so I guess it must smell pretty nice on my skin!

I think since it is such a bargainous price I will repurchase.

Boots Botanics Skin Brightening Toner

£4.07 for 350ml

Before this particular tone I was using one by Guerlain, and I have to say out the two this one wins hands down. It gives practically the same effect at a third of the price without drying my skin. I'll definitely be repurchasing either this toner or the Botanics Organic Rosewater toner (along with the eye makeup remover which i'm desperate to try!)

Garnier Simply Essentials 2 in 1 Makeup remover

£2.99 for 200ml

In my search for a highstreet dupe/alternative to the Bioderma Crealine H2O solution, I decided to try this.

You can read my detailed review here, but as the question is would I buy again, the answer would be YES. I think it's a really cheap yet effective product, and is currently on offer in Morrisons for £1.49!

Dove Supreme Body Silk Cream

Approx £4.00 for 300ml.

I have always been a big fan of Dove products - they're a classic that i've grown up with, and I love the signature clean, fresh scent that comes with them. This particular cream is really thick and luxurious, yet sinks into my skin really quickly. Would I buy again? Yes - once I get through all the other bottles in my cupboard!

L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray

Approx £5.00 for 300ml

This particular brand of hairspray is a bit of a cult classic, but if i'm being honest i'm not a big hairspray user, and i've literally had this can for about 2 years!  I'm not particularly interested in repurchasing this again, particularly at the same price, although in terms of hairspray i'm quite keen to try the Glam Hair Rock 'n' Roll Hairspray by Umberto Giannini.

Will you be making any repurchases of your favourite products?

Garnier 2 in 1 Tinted Eye Roll-On Review

Good evening Ladies,

I'm always on a quest to look brighter, more awake (and alive - especially at work!), and so the latest product i've encountered to help me in my mission is this:

To  be honest i'm not not what the exact name of this product is as there is information overload on the front of the box, but for the moment i'm going for "2 in 1 tinted eye roll-on"!

A "sister" product of the original Garnier Nutritionist Caffeine eye roll-on (in the green tube), the original formula now comes with a tint and a UV filter, providing you with the option to not only "treat" under eye puffiness and bags, but to conceal dark circles at the same time.

What Garnier say: It is our 1st roll-on massage which combines a caring formula with natural ingredients and a long lasting tinted concealer as effective as make-up. The formula, along with the massaging ball, offers a complete solution to tired eyes and dark circles and bags.

I had always quite fancied trying this, but (being the tight-wad that I sometimes am!) I couldn't quite justify the RRP of £9.99 for 15ml, so when I saw it on special offer in (surprise, surprise) Tesco for £6.49 it quickly got put in the basket!

I have to say i'm really pleased with my purchase. I like the fact they have produced a tint for fairer skin tones along with three other shades (whereas the previous supposedly "universal" colour was a lot darker and not quite as adaptable), and when used it provides a really lovely illuminating effect, which I have to say is not too dissimilar to the famous YSL Touche Eclat. You literally need one roll of the roller ball under each eye (to go back and forth a few times would be too much!) to get a generous amount of coverage, and you can instantly feel a definite lifting and tightening of the skin and it feels really lovely and refreshing first thing in the morning.

First thing in the morning I apply my usual facial moisturiser and under eye moisturiser (currently Boots vitamin E), then my foundation and finally this tinted roll on for the concealing effect. It's just as long lasting as my previous MAC concealer I was using, and I reckon it will last a looooooong time because you only need to use a little at a time.

Thumbs up from me - it can't be the UK's number one eye treatment for nothing!
