Shiseido Ibuki Eye Correcting Cream

I have this small 0.17 oz tube of this eye cream that came with the Ibuki set. Description says its a cool and comforting cream that diminishes dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. I honestly don't see any of that going on, but its probably due to me not using it regularly.

It is a light eye cream and it goes on easily. It has a bit of a perfume-y scent which I'm not too fond of. I've had unpleasant experiences with eye creams so I was hesitant in using this, but luckily it hasn't given me any problems. Though I really don't see anything special about this. I suppose its moisturizing to the eye area, and I don't have puffiness or fine lines to really say if it had an effect on those.

While I may not really have a need for this product, the full size is about $40 which is an OK amount. I think its worth a try since it has a moisturizing and safe formula. It didn't irritate me or gave me any bumps.

Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Eye Treatment

Shiseido's White Lucent line is a brightening and whitening skincare for those wanting to reduce any sun caused spots. It seems all the products in this line have the same scent which I'm not a fan of. It has this old lady kind of smell, and is kind of unpleasant like alcohol. Luckily its not strong that I can smell it all day. It goes away as soon as I put it on.

I think this eye treatment works better than the softener. It has lasted alot longer than the softener too. Its a white mildly thick creme that goes on the eyes rather gently. It doesn't go on heavy and you don't need alot of it. It does brightening the eye area but it doesn't do much do the darkness on my lids from sun and restless sleeps.

So this is really good for those who want their eye area to look brighter and not dull. The cost of the full size creme is pricey, but its a great brightener. It doesn't do much to dark circles is the only con I have. It hasn't irritated me or caused me any allergic reactions. Its has minimum hydration and its lightweight enough to layer on other eye products.

Murad Essential C Eye Cream SPF 15

I got a sample of this from Sephora and I'm glad I did. This product is white and has this unpleasant smell to it. Its easy to get too much out of the packaging too. At least it glides on the skin nicely. However, over the days I've been using this I've noticed I've been getting milia and tiny bumps around my eye area. I was using the Bobbi Brown eye cream with it, but I think the Murad one might be the cause of it but I cannot say for sure. So I will have to discontinue using it. I haven't seen any benefits from wearing it either. I liked that it has SPF but sadly the bumps are not worth it.

On another note, I'm not sure if this sample is the same as the one they are selling at Murad's site. It doesn't have PA++ like the one on the site. Perhaps is a newer version of the product?

Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream

I got a sample of this product with my sephora order. It lasted me quite awhile which is enough to give a review of it. I love the texture of this cream and that its barely has any scent. It goes on nicely on my eyes and it definitely hydrates them. I used it with the Vit A Eye cream that I've previously reviewed. Its a strong treatment eye cream that made my eyes itchy, but with the Bobbi Brown cream I don't get itchy anymore!
There's so many eye creams that are for treating wrinkles or puffiness, that its kind of hard to find a plain old moisturizing cream. This is what I like about this cream the the most. Although I've developed milia when I was using eye creams and this cream was among the products I used. I can't say for sure if this product contributed to my milia or not. Since then I only used little amounts of this product on my eyes, and haven't had any issues. I had a hard time finding a full list of this products ingredients. I only read its contains Aloe Vera, Witch Hazel Extract, Jojoba Seed, Avocado Oil and Squalane. Overall I recommend it! :)
