Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller

I love the idea of this product. Roll on and poof! Away go under eye circles. I chose the tinted version so I could get the added benefit of concealer.
The eye roller's active ingredient is caffeine, which is supposed to reduce puffiness. It has a cooling effect when applied, which feels great on those tired peepers.
Initially, I found this concealer shade to be too dark for a "fair" tint, and a bit runny and uneven when applied. I used cosmetic sponges and my fingers, and I found that this product is applied better when using fingertips.
It also improves with "cooking time". Leave it to set on the undereye area before smoothing. I found that this concealer set very well as far as coverage, although it does sink into crows' feet, so - stay hydrated.
Here are some pics of the product and my application.

Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo

Here in the beauty throne is another shampoo that claims to strengthen hair that is fragile, hence making it grow longer.
The shampoo is being marketed to women with long hair, and I had a coupon so I tried it out. Well well! Not too bad. A mild shampoo that smells perhaps too fruity - but my hair has had a growth spurt so perhaps there is an ingredient in this product that has some kick.
This is a decent shampoo for every day washes, so I give it the thumbs up!

Garnier HerbaShine Semi Permanent Color

I generally stay away from semi permanent hair color as it usually is too weak to tackle my 90% gray hair. So I was pleasantly surprised by this new product from Garnier. It doesn't sting, burn, or stink up the entire house. I left it on for 20 minutes instead of the product directions, instead of 10. The color of the product is almost identical to the box, and the formula is very thick - nothing dripped on the floor or the carpet. There are a couple of things I didn't like about this product - first, this is another OTC color that has the big muppet hand plastic gloves instead of the close fitting salon style gloves. Also, the pigment in this color is extremely saturated, so cover your hairline. I used #400 Dark Natural Brown, and it stained my forehead as bad as permanent color. This product is supposed to last 28 shampoos.
