Zap! I found the Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Eye Cream useful for something other than wrinkles

Ok, confession time. I’m terrible… absolutely HORRIBLE at using eye creams. What this means is that I go through periods when I have little to nothing applied around my eye area. I am convinced I’m not alone in this. At least, I convince myself I’m not alone in this 😀

So, you know what? Eye creams and their effects are quite lost on me. Bad blogger. I know 😛 What I can say however is that I guess I’m quite lucky not to show my age too much around my eyes. Other than the sometimes puffy eyes or dark circles thanks to insufficient or poor quality sleep, I don’t really battle lines. Maybe I’m not very expressive LOL! But when I do use an eye cream, I have found myself reaching more often for the Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream than any other. What a mouthful! This isn’t new per se, but an upgrade of an existing Repairwear eye cream.

Some of you may remember or may even be using the Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus serum which isn’t a bad product in my book. Towards the end of 2012, Clinique came out with a similar product for the eye. Its been on shelves since October or so so if you have tried it, I’d love to hear what you think of it!

As for myself, I will have to say that I do not have a line or wrinkle problem or if I do, I don’t hold any pretensions as to why they are there or how I can get rid of them, because I know its next to impossible. So, I can’t test the validity of the claim to correct wrinkles around the eyes. However, I discovered that this cream was very effective for me, to correct another problem – puffy eyes!

New! Mary Kay Timewise Plus+ Regena Firm Intensive Serum and Correcting Eye Cream

Mary Kay – not a brand I am familiar with, although its a name I have heard through the years. Mary Kay, as many of us know, is a brand of skincare and colour cosmetics that is sold by way of direct sales, through sales representatives they call Independent Beauty Consultants. I suppose I never tried anything from this brand, because I never knew anyone selling it! I just learnt that if I were really interested, I could actually call up the offices locally and be put in touch with someone. Fascinating. Your beauty supplies can come to you!

I recently found out that a friend works in Mary Kay (which is how the brand came on my radar a little while ago) and I also recently attended the launch of the new Mary Kay Timewise Plus+ Skincare range which consists now, of the Intensive Serum and Correcting Eye Cream.

Both these products, made in Korea, are targeted at helping skin look lifted, feel firmer and restore volume. This would therefore be in the “anti-aging” skincare category and you know what that means – some (ok ok many of you) may not need it just yet 😉

Something new cometh from Biotherm – the Skin.Ergetic Eye cream and a brand new looking flagship counter! I’ll just tell you quickly about the eye cream and then I’ll take you on a quick tour of the counter. Sounds good? 😉

The Skin.Ergetic Eyes is as the name indicates, an eye cream. It complements the rest of the Skin.Ergetic range (serum and moisturiser) and is supposed to address 5 signs of eye fatigue – dark circles, bags, fine lines, slack skin and puffy eye lids. Sounds most promising doesn’t it?

Puffy Eyes Begone! The New Esmeria Organics Eye Gel Does A Fine Job

Paris B 23 Comments

Sometimes when I read these claims by cosmetics companies that say “80% of women experienced lifting effects on their skin” and I wonder to myself. Who on earth are these 80% of women?? Me, as it turns out LOL! I found out how recently when I was invited to try the new Esmeria Organics Ultimate 5-effect Eye Gel… in a lab test form! 😀

For some reason, I was unnaturally thrilled to be handed a plain white tube with a working name on it instead of an actual product. Little things like this thrill me 😛 It is also very useful that Esmeria Organics is a certified organic homegrown brand and so access to the brand is much easier than it was say, based in Europe.

The product I received was already almost ready to be marketed so it wasn’t like I was a real guinea pig or anything like that. This was about 2 months ago or so. And now, the eye gel is available in the market in 2 formula – the Ultimate 5-effect eye gel for all skin types and the Ultimate 5-Repair Eye Gel for mature skin, depending on your concerns.Continue Reading
