Elisha Coy: Skin Repairing Snail Eye Balm Wrinkle-care & Whitening

Hi my beauty buddies, I'm back!!! Sorry for my lack of post lately... feeling lazy and tired recently but I'm back today and will be reviewing an Eye Balm by Elisha Coy a Korean Brand. The packaging is quite big for just 15g/0.52 oz of product, but it does looks pretty and it comes with a spatula for a more hygienic way of scooping out the balm.

I love that the company have given some thought of sealing the products and keeping them more hygienic too...

ElishaCoy Skin Repairing Snail Eye Balm uses ingredients such as 40% snail slime extract, Nobel Prize-winning EGF, and Royal Jelly to make it an effective 2 in 1 whitening and anti-wrinkle eye cream.  These extracts improve skin elasticity, moisturize, and brighten delicate eye skin, making eyes appear more vibrant. Its concentrated formula of high-protein ingredients improves resilience around the eyes while stimulating blood circulation to relieve dark circles. Plus its lightweight and quick absorbing formula leaves skin with a non-sticky finish.

Flourine and Haloxyl fight the causes of pigmentation by controlling free oxygen radicals, keeping your skin moisturized, bright, and vibrant.

Patented blend of 8 special plant extracts increases your skin's elasticity and moisturizes the skin.

Benefits:

• Anti-aging
• Brightens
• Moisturizes
• Reduces Puffiness

That is what the company claims that the product would help to do.

I have been using it for more then a month now and I do like the texture which is light, adsorbs fast and well yet I feel moisturized. As for effectiveness – snail creams are generally known for its regeneration properties and calming properties. They are very effective in calming the skin especially when you have acne, etc and can be used on sensitive skin without any problems.

A great eye balm and this peek my interests in trying more brand that uses snail slime extract.

What do you think? 

P.S. All Snail Creams are rather good – and there are so many snail creams in the market right now. Therefore my advice is for you to look at their ingredient lists properly before purchasing them! It is an above average product.

XOXO Diana

Origins: GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream

I got this product about a month ago for my inherited dark under eyes, and I am desperately in need of an eye cream that is not too heavy or oily in the morning and suits my morning skin care regime and flawless application of my makeup afterwards. This is my first time trying Origins products, and what is the verdict?!

Origins: GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream (SGD $62) is formulated with Caffeine from coffee beans, Panax Ginseng, Magnolia extract and natural optic brighteners, etc. I must say that I love that Origins doesn't have:

• Parabens
• Phthalates
• Propylene Glycol
• Mineral Oil
• PABA
• Petrolatum
• Paraffin 
• DEA
• Synthetic Fragrance
• Animal Ingredients

that we should be worried about. I am trying my best to steer myself to using more natural products and stay away from those products with supposedly nasty/bad ingredients. The texture is gel - liked and yet feels creamy, it does adsorbs into my skin quite well without leaving my skin feeling oily which makes my makeup easier to apply. It does contains mica for brightening effects which I don't really notice a lot when it is  apply on my under eyes area.

And I am not too sure about the depuffing abilities, I haven't experience any puffy eyes much so I can't comment on this. Overall is just an ordinary eye cream for me. It wasn't that spectacular and I haven't notice any big difference since 3 weeks ago, so I wouldn't repurchase after I finish it.

Would I recommend it? Everybody have different needs and the same product might not react the same way on some one else's skin. What may work for me might not work on you and what not work for me may work for you. I am not sure whether origin's counter in Singapore will give out samples a not, you could just ask them and try. (In Singapore most stores/counters will not give out samples unless you bought something from them but it would't hurt to try and ask them)

What types of eye creams do you use? Which are your favourites? 

XOXO!!

Michael Todd True Organics: Intensive Organic Cream Eye Treatment with Haloxyl + Eyeliss

I love Michael Todd's products especially when they are

• Made in USA
• Made with organic ingredients
• No added water
• No parabens, triclosan, phthalates or sulfates
• No mineral oil, artificial or synthetic fragrance
• No animal testing (products are tested on their chairman)

Michael Todd True Organics: Intensive Organic Cream Eye Treatment with Haloxyl & Eyeliss (USD $38) is 90% organic advanced eye treatment with Haloxyl and Eyeliss developed in Europe to reduce eye-bags and dark circles. Together they work with other ingredients to fight signs of premature eye aging, supports elastin and collagen production to help the skin in the eye area "bounce back" instead of sagging and wrinkling.

I am not exactly impress with this eye cream at all, I have love quite a few of their products and have been using it for quite a while now. But sadly I really do not like this eye cream at all. It does nothing at all, the consistency is a bit watery and feels oily under my eye. I can feel the oiliness the next morning, it just seems to sit on top of my under eyes and never really adsorbs into the skin at all. The applicator seems to just "shoots" out all over the place even if I try to pump it out lightly.

Overall it is a NO NO for me and I would not ever repurchase it. I have an oily combination skin with dry under eyes area but is just leaves my under eyes oily and doesn't moisturize at all.

Have you tried this eye cream? What do you think of it? Or do you have any recommendations? Do leave a comment below and share your thoughts.
