LUSH Enchanted Eye Cream

As the popular saying goes, the "Eyes are the windows to the soul". Do you believe so? If you do, you wouldn't want fine lines, puffy eye bags, dark circles and crow's feet around it right?? We can prevent (or reduce the appearance of) all these by using EYE CREAMS as early as possible!

Many women (and men) believe that they could use their facial moisturizer as a substitute for eye cream. But it simply isn't enough, especially as we age. The area around the eye doesn't have as much sebaceous glands as we have on the other parts of our faces; it is more prone to aging and dehydration, and it is also more sensitive. Eye creams consist of special, powerful ingredients that target possible problems that may occur in the eye area.

I have been using eye creams for a couple of years now, and it's been on and off (I know, not a great idea). I have tried about 4 brands of eye creams and I still haven't found the best. Yes, read on to know why this eye cream is not really a favorite.

LUSH ENCHANTED EYE CREAM

When I went to Bonifacio High Street one Sunday, I wasn't really planning on buying anything from Lush. But there it was, standing there so beautifully that I couldn't resist but to enter (haha!). When I was younger, the smell of their shop would always intimidate me but now I love it to bits! I smelled all the yummy soaps and checked out their bottled products. And then this caught my eye...

Product Description:
Perfect Day and Night. Bewitchingly beautiful, smooth this extremely gentle, fine blend of organic oils and soothing honey around the finest area of your skin. Simple, refreshing and softening.

Smooth, Gentle, Soothing. Reading those words sold me into it!

I tried it out on my hand and I love its texture. It's light, it's creamy, not sticky and fast-absorbing. I felt it was gonna be perfect for daytime! There isn't much fragrance in it, which is good!
 

I continued to use it during the day for 2 weeks and I honestly loved it (the texture and weight). But then, after a short while, every time I apply the product it would sting :( I don't know if it's because of my application or I've been applying way too much. I still haven't figured it out. Right now I'm trying out another eye cream but I'm still planning to use this once in a while.

What I love:

• non- sticky and absorbs fast
• light but creamy
• not too fragrant
• comes in a pump bottle with plastic cap (very hygienic) 
• contains lots of product

What I dislike:

• stings my eyes (well, that's it)

Always check the yellow sticker for the expiration date! It lasts more than a year from manufacturing date ;)

Final verdict? It's an OK eye cream. Not too enchanted! I probably won't repurchase again!

Available in all LUSH stores. Price is Php 895.00 for a 45g bottle:)
