Review | Khiel's Creamy Eye Treatment

I'd always heard through the beauty blogging grapevine that Kiehl's products were worth their salt but I hadn't got round to trying anything until recently. My eyes always tend to get dry and sore coming into the winter and I wanted something to help combat that. I was initially looking for the Midnight Recovery Eye Treatment but the very friendly sales assistant pointed me towards this as it's richer and creamier and gives more intense moisturisation. 

Kiehls Creamy Eye Treatment 

Ingredients:

Avacado Oil helps to restore moisture and contains vitamins A,D and E.

Beta-Carotene is a natural antioxidant derived from carrots and produces Vitamin A.

Shea Butter is a natural fat which protects the skin from dehydration. 

Claims:

To gently moisturise the delicate eye area.

The formula is Ophthalmologist and Dermatologist tested and does not migrate into eyes.

Review:

This product definitely lives up to it's claims! Its such a rich creamy formula and it sinks in to the delicate skin around the eyes really quickly. It leaves my eyes lovely and soft, improves the appearance of bags in turn making them look brighter and more awake.

I initially tried using it in the morning, however I found it doesn't sit right under makeup, my eyeliner would be halfway down my face by lunchtime! So now I only use it as a night time cream and have found this to work really well.

It is quite pricy but it's very rich and creamy so only a small amount is needed for each application, meaning it lasts quite a long time.

I'd definitely recommend this if you tend to get sore, dry eyes especially around autumn and winter, and also if you're too young for wrinkle cream but want to start taking care of your skin early... prevention is better than cure!

Have you tried any of Kiehls Eye products?

Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix | Review

I've been having a bit of a skin mare recently, English Winter weather does not help dry sensitive skin one bit! This review also has a little back story so if you want to get to the main bit jump ahead...

 I was shopping in London and a very clever sales lady enticed me towards her shop by saying she liked my coat, I'm a sucker for a compliment! So next thing I know I'm sat in a chair having something rubbed on to my hand. So it was a very posh product with gold pieces in it which she rubbed into the back of my hand, causing visible dirt and dead skin to be drawn out! As an obsessive hand washer, I was obviously horrified. But even more so when she pointed out that we wash our hands multiple times a day but only wash our faces twice a day... just imagine! 

So I was sold... until she mentioned it's £100 a bottle, then I politely excused myself and started frantically hunting for a cheaper product to do the same job.

Introducing the new addition to my skincare draw.... Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix Pads

Now these don't quite work in the same way, these pads are to be used after cleansing your face, and I also use toner afterwards before applying my moisturiser. They contain glycolic and lactic acid to stimulate cell turnover which is supposed to give a smoother and brighter complexion. 

They also contain blue daisy to soothe and witch hazel to improve skin tone and they are mild enough to be used once or even twice daily. 

Since using these, the tone of my skin is so much more even, I have been having less break outs and the even the dryness is more controllable. This is because exfoliation is a really important step in any skincare routine, because your skin needs to be completely clean and fresh before applying moisturiser otherwise it won't sink in to the skin, it will just sit on top of the dead skin and dirt. (Another lovely tip I learned from the sales lady!)

They are also anti-ageing, which is not something on the top of my list as a 21 year old, but hey prevention is better than cure right?!

They are available in Boots (click here to have a look!) for £12.99 for a pot with 60 pads, and I don't know about you but that's way more within my price range!

Have you given these a try?

How much would you be willing to spend on skincare?
