Review: Skin Food Salmon Brightening Eye Cream

3. April 2013
Hello everyone! ♥
How were your Easter holidays? After a relaxing long weekend it’s time to get back to work :/ Best time to give a review on Skin Food’s Salmon Brightening Eye Cream, especially for those of you waking up with dark under-the-eyes rings, horrified to take a step outside of the door ;D
I bought this cream last month with one of my ebay hauls and used it since then at least once a day, sometimes twice, and here is finally my review on it.
This cream promises to brighten dark circles under the eyes and brighten up the skin around the eyes.
The description from Skin Food’s webpage says:
Description
Containing arbutin and the extracts of Omega 3-rich salmon roe produced in Hokkaido Japan, this eye cream brightens and relieves dark circles around the eyes.
 
To Use 
After using the toner, apply an appropriate amount around your eyes, and tap the area lightly to help the skin absorb it.
The cream has a thick consistency, you only need a little for covering your skin around your eyes. After applying with a few pats the cream melts into the skin and the consistency becomes liquid instantly. At first it looks a little bit oily, but after a while it absorbs into the skin. It has no strong scent at all. If it has smell at all I couldn’t recognize anything specific.

For the effects: it moisturizes and brightens the eye area for sure! Though, I did not see that my dark circles have vanished completely (I don’t think that this is so easily to achieve). But since it contains arburtin it has to have some kind of brightening effect. This is a very good cream for eyes and I would recommend it for everyone who wants to treat his tiered eyes with something good. My eyes are happy with it so far! Plus, the jar contains 30 g and since you only need a little this jar will last for ages :D
You can buy it at keautystore. A jar costs about US$ 34.00 and for the amount it’s a rather fair price. Also you can use the coupon code here that is provided for my readers :).Edit: I tried another eye cream from Skinfood here, for those who might be intersted. It’s a review abot the Royal Honey Eye Cream and I can conclude that I like the Samon Brightening Eye Cream more. Also, the Salmon Brightening Eye Cream (30 g) costs US$ 23.60 at W2Beauty.

Review: Skin Food Black Sugar Scrub Foam

18. March 2013
Hey there ♥
How are you? This morning we had finally some sunshine in the morning. Hopefully spring arrives soon, I can’t stand this cold weather anymore. All this layers of clothes and dry skin…that’s awful!
In a previous post I showed you the first part of my ebay haul from February (the second part arrived and I will get the package today, yeah :D). One product I bought and tested a few days now is Skin Food’s Black Sugar Scrub Foam. I read several reviews on the Black Sugar Mask and also the scrub foam and most of them were really fond of these products, that is why I actually bought it.

The packaging is really adorable and somehow a little bit “shabby chic” you cold say. I like it a lot. The scrub foam comes in a tube standing on the cap. I would have preferred a pump, but it doesn’t make a big difference.

Here is the description of the product from Skin Foods website:
———————————————————————————————
The mineral-rich Brazilian black-sugar grains in the scrub foam smoothly cleanse off the old layer leaving your skin moist after washing.

* To Use
Take a moderate amount of the foam on a wet hand and lather it sufficiently. After massaging it over your face, rub gently, rinse off with tepid water then finish with cold water. 
———————————————————————————————
The foam is not foamy when you push it out of the tube. It has a consistency like a mousse and contains peeling grains in it, which are probably the black sugar grains. It has no sweet smell as one would expect because of the word ‘sugar’ in the name, but it is fresh and somehow smells like lemons. If you apply it directly on your face and start scrubbing it will be very harsh on the face, so don’t forget to make your face and your hands wet before using.

The scrubbing is very efficient and generates foam on your skin. My skin is not very sensitive, so I can’t tell if it is too much irritating on sensitive skin, but in the end you can adjust the pressure by yourself if you want a more gentle massage instead of scrubbing. And now comes the part I liked most: after washing of the foam the skin does not feel smooth AND super dry, but it feels smooth and kind of moisturized. I didn’t have this kind of feeling with other scrubs I used and I was really happy about this!
A tube contains 160g and costs US$16.23 at W2Beauty. You’ll get a US$ 5 voucher upon registration using my link or the sponsor code 088505 and you can use it immediately for any purchase more than US$ 30.  Repurchase?Definitely ♥
