Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee. ~Stephanie Piro
Unfortunately, I have to agree. Not that I’m a successful woman. But in order for me to be successful in anything I attempt to do, be it writing an prize-winning blog post 
, or driving my baby girl to my parents’ house in the pouring rain so I can attend a meeting, I need a substantial amount of coffee to keep me awake.
Any task becomes even more challenging when you’re constantly sleep-deprived. I won’t go into details but let me just say that anyone who said their 1 year-old sleeps through the night, everynight, better stop gloating and come to my house to show me how! 
Anyway, while my daily dose of caffeine works to keep me alert, my eyes sadly can not lie. When you have been sleeping for less than the required 8 hours, no matter how much concealer you wear, the tiredness will most likely to show on your eyes. After particularly exhausting nights, my eyes are usually puffy in the morning and the dark circle looks more pronounced as the day goes by.
On one of these days, I reached for a new product from Garnier. It’s called Light Eye Roll-On. It’s an eye cream which has a little nifty roller attached at the end of the tube that you can use to massage your under eye area. This action is said to promote blood circulation which helps to clear out the hideous dark circle. The cream itself contains caffeine which acts as a stimulant to promote micro-circulation.
That morning, after my usual cleanse-tone-moisturize routine, I decided to skip my eye cream and applied this 
product instead. The cream, is actually too light to be considered cream. It vanished instantly into my skin and unfortunately didn’t leave my under eye area moisturized enough. However the little roller ball felt nice and soothing on my skin. I stashed the tube into my makeup bag and went on with my activities, hoping I could try it again when I needed some touch up.
Fast forward to post lunch time. The tiredness hit me, and I was nursing my second cup of coffee when I remembered the Garnier Light Eye Roll-On. I massaged my under eye with the product, this time using it on top of my makeup, dabbed the product with my finger a little and looked into the mirror. Guess what? My eyes looked visibly brighter and more open!
So I concluded that while Garnier Light Eye Roll-On probably won’t replace your regular eye cream, it is a pretty handy product to have in your makeup bag when you need an instant “eye-lift”, a little pick-me-up for your tired eyes as it provides quick and immediate effect, albeit temporary. The little roller ball does give you a nice “cooling” sensation and because it’s such a light cream, it will not smudge your makeup at all. For IDR 59,000 a pop, I guess it’s safe to say that every girl should have it in their purse
Garnier Light Eye Roll-On is available in major supermarkets and drug stores.

Sylvia & Arie,
Cobain deh, mudah2an suka. Menurut gue sih utk 59 ribu lumayan banget buat bikin “seger” mata di hari2 yg melelahkan.

Oh and hope you like the Garnier Eye roll-on too
Gue dah coba produk ini, tapi baru coba 2-3 kali kayaknya gak se-oke eye krim yang biasa gue pake (secara daerah seputar mata gue kering jadi butuh yang creamy). Jadi udah hampir 3 minggu tuh roll-on tergeletak di pojokan laci. Gue mau coba ide koukla as an instant eye-lift ah… gak perlu bersihin mata dulu yah? Ntar produk yang di dalemnya bakal terkontaminasi makeup gak?
tried and tested
and i looooveee it
gue dah coba macem2 eye cream…but this one work the best
duniakecil,
). Gue terus terang nggak kepikiran tuh soal terkontaminasi apa enggak hahaha cuek ajalah…*dasar jorok*

saya beli di plaza kota cirebon cuma 24ribu sebetulnya berapa sih harganya??kok yang lain pada bilang 60 ribu?? skrg lagi masa pencobaan baru 1 minggu belum ada perubahan.
many ppl say it doesnt work..hehe
ini cara pakainya gimana sih sebenernya? satu roll on bs tahan ampe brp lama yaa, sebulan?
skg harganya emang sdh turun berkisar 20 rb an,saya pakai beberapa kali dan mang tidak rutin,dlm 1 bln ini, memang kl untuk mengurangi lingkaran hitam kok tidak terlihat signifikan ya, tp untuk menyegarkan dan mengurangi sembab sih iya bgt
ooh.. ternyata ini dipakenya buat touch up gitu yaa.. Selama ini aku pakenya cuma pagi sama malem abis cuci muka..
Boleh nih mulai sekarang dibawa-bawa buat touch up..
