Beauty: this is how I roll

With a really cool skincare product….

Don’t roll your eyesbecause this roller from Garnier will instantly help to cool and refresh them.  That’s what I’m talking about.cooling eye roller

I keep this soothing green roller in the fridge standing among the many hot sauces and just grab it when I need a little pick me up. It has caffeine as one of the ingredients (to wake up your eyes) which is supposed to reduce puffiness and under-eye bags to brighten up the eye area.

I can’t vouch for that completely because I don’t have big dark circles (except for when I don’t sleep) but for convenience sake, and for those times when you don’t have a cucumber handy or you’re feeling too lazy to even slice one up, it works like a charm.

This gel formula with Antioxidant Vitamin C, Mint, and Caffeine has a micro-stimulating roll-on applicator to help de-puff and reduce the look of under-eye bags. Fake a more rested look!

You can purchase this product in almost any drugstore – USD $12.99 (price may vary).

Hollywood Tips you want to know:

Actress Julia Roberts, plagued like many of her colleagues by stressed skin due to having to constantly apply and remove make-up, discovered Dr. Hauschka’s Rose Cream in her make-up artist’s cosmetics case.  She swears by the cream because it stimulates the skin’s own resources and does not cause allergies. When Julia Roberts was asked, yet again, at a press conference what was behind her radiant complexion, she whispered into the microphone: ”Dr. Hauschka.” And soon Cate Blanchett was bathing in Dr. Hauschka’s lavender bath oil, Madonna underwent a two-hour Dr. Hauschka treatment in the chic New York Sanctuary Spa, and the whole world wanted the rose cream. At Sephora in New York, it is to be found right next to the Kiehl products.  

The special thing: Most of the medicinal plants used are not only grown under strict organic conditions in the company’s own garden, they are also processed according to an 80-year-old recipe which respects nature’s rhythm: light and dark, movement and rest, heat and cold.
