Garnier BB Eye Roll-On

I've been wanting to get my hands on Garnier's BB Eye Roll-on every since I saw it on Guardian's shelves but I never got around to buy it until recently. Mainly because I already have one sitting at home which is the regular yellow packaging clear Roll-on for the eyes. I love it to bits and I use it twice a day everyday just for that cooling effect. I heard that it's supposed to make the eyes look less puffy and brighten the under-eye area at the same time. 

Anyways, I decide to get the BB Eye Roll-on in the end because I can't stand staring at it every single time I visit Guardian. #nolife

Garnier BB Eye Roll-on

I'm not so sure why they are calling it BB. Perhaps they wanted to be associated with the popular BB Creams in the market and thought the product might sell easier with the label 'BB' plastered on the product. Why not jump on the bandwagon too right? haha Anyways, I don't think the product comes with SPF in it, there are no mention of sun-protecting ingredients on the packaging.

  The Light and Light BB Eye Roll-on

The obvious difference between these two is that one is clear and another is tinted. I use the BB Eye Roll-on on days when I have to put makeup on just to brighten up my dark circles. I like how light the product feels on my skin and it also blends into my skin quite well!


I guess the one thing about this product that I'm not entirely fond of is that the application area gets quite messy with each use. Also I have to make sure that my face is clean prior to using this because this is a roll-on product and God knows how many times I have to use this stick over and over again on my face till it runs out. Better to be safe than sorry!

Before and after using the product

 I've read some reviews saying that this product dries their skin out but it works fine for me. I don't have sensitive skin and normally don't break out from using makeup products so I guess I'm lucky lol I now prefer using this than any other concealers for my under-eye area because it's easy to apply, easy to blend and is cooling on my skin! This is also good for me because I don't have very serious dark circles so I don't need heavy coverage concealers. 

Overall I think this is worth the money I paid for! I got this for roughly B$13. I have been using the regular light Roll-on for quite some time now and there's still some product left in it so I know it's gonna last me a long time. Plus with this BB Roll-on a little goes a long way!

My day out & FOTD!

Last weekend me and the siblings we decided to watch MIB3! I still find it amazing how they can make the younger K look so much like the old K! Anyways the movie is awesome! It's always entertaining to watch Will Smith's movies. For those of you who have watched it, don't you wonder why K's so surly when he's old before all the time travel thingy?? But the ending was really nice. That part towards the end before Agent J came back to the present is like a cherry on top of the whole movie script.

Men In Black 3

My FOTD:

Decided to make it simple that day. A wash of virgin eyeshadow from UD Naked Palette and Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner.

On my face I have on Skin79's Vital Orange BB Cream + Revlon Colorstay foundation in Early Tan. I notice that the Skin79's orange BB Cream helps keep my face's skin tone consistent with the skin tone on my neck! My face tends to be darker than my neck and shoulders so the BB Cream balances them out!

On my lips I am using Stage lipstick in Lavender love topped with Etude House's Roll roll gloss in Tomato Jelly Latte

Skin79: BB Cleanser O2

Skin79 Brunei launched the new BB Cleanser O2 late last year along with the new Vital Orange BB Cream and I was very excited to be given the chance to try out the new BB Cream! You can click here to check out my review on the Vital Orange BB Cream.

This time around I will be reviewing instead the BB Cleanser O2. I wasn't aware at that time but as it turns out, the BB Cleanser O2 has been receiving a lot of attention and has thus far sold out twice already in Brunei since its launching! It has so much hype build up around it and I wasn't sure why but now I know... IT'S AMAZING! It's so very in demand that anyone who wanted to try out the samples have to request for them on Skin79 Brunei's facebook wall if they wish to get their hands on 'em!

Skin79 BB Cleanser O2

I really like the packaging! It comes in a shiny plastic tube with a baby-pink cap and pink-colored font. It also comes with a pump so you can just pump the product out. Cute! Based on the packaging I'd say it's suitable for teenage girls as well ;)

This cleanser claims to provide deep cleansing to the skin, using the oxygen bubbles to remove impurities from the skin including BB Cream, eyes and lip makeup! It also claims to naturally brighten the skin after cleansing whilst replenishing moisture back into the skin. It is also gentle enough for daily use! I cleanse twice a day using the BB Cleanser O2. :)

(Click to enlarge!)

The cleanser is in a gel-like texture and it has a very yummy floral scent! Sometimes I like to open the cap just to smell it lol

Anyway, immediately after you first apply the gel-like BB Cleanser O2 onto your skin, bubbles will start to form and the instruction on the packaging asked to wait for one or two minutes for sufficient bubbles to form before massaging the face. But it took less than that for me; around 45 secs probably. As stated by Skin79, the purpose of the bubbles is to deliver oxygen to the skin. Yes, Skin79 has managed to make the process of facial cleansing fun!

Here's how I use it!


I start off with a wet face. I heard that you can use it dry as well but for me it's easier to massage my face when my skin is wet so I opted to wet my face. I normally do this in the shower anyway so my face will be wet no matter what lol By the way I have on foundation in this picture before cleansing..

Here I go!


Then I apply the BB Cleanser O2 onto my skin and wait for bubbles to form. Tip: If you get bored of standing in the bathroom waiting for bubbles to form, brush your teeth! That's what I normally do. ;)


After waiting an ample time for the bubbles to finish forming I massaged my face with the BB Cleanser O2! This normally takes me about one minute or more if I'm wearing any foundation or BB Cream. Gotta make sure I take 'em all off!

Right after cleansing!

One thing I love love love about this cleanser is that your skin feels so smooth when you wash off the bubbles! After patting my face dry I will just go on to my normal routine of applying the Skin79 A.C. Clinic Anti-Trouble Skin (Toner) and then the A.C. Clinic Anti-Trouble Lotion (Moisturizer)! Skin absorbs the moisture so well and it prevents my skin from having dry patches. :)

I guess the only thing about this cleanser is that the lettering on the product wears off after a while, just like the Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream. Other than that, I love this thing!

Skin79 BB Cleanser O2

This is undoubtedly one of my favourite Skin79 product thus far! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to try out this amazing product.The Skin79 BB Cleanser O2 retails for BND32.90! If you haven't try this out and is curious you can request for some samples at Skin79 Brunei's facebook wall or better yet, go purchase one! You won't regret it, I promise.
