Eye Creams For Dark Circles : What Worked For Me And What Not

Nisha Malik — Sun, 11 Dec 2016 17:52:14 +0000

Dark Circles under and around eyes, can ruin a beautiful face. Dark Circles can be a permanent resident on deep set eyes, like I have. From my experience, I can say, if you have dark circles, they can never totally disappear, but they can be minimised. I have tried many eye creams some expensive, some under budget. I am going to share what worked for my under eye area which has dark circles plus some fine lines also has started showing up. Will also let you know, which ones didn’t work for me. My skin is oily but my under eye area is very dry. So rich in moisture creams can only work for me. If you are looking for natural remedies to treat your dark circles, read this. Aroma Magic Under Eye Gel Aroma Magic is a very trusted brand, and most of the products offered by this brand, are very effective. Aroma Magic under eye gel is a light gel based under eye treatment, which is suitable for dull & tired eyes. It is a gel, hence it gives soothing effect after a long day at work. This is perfect if you have mild dark circles or puffy eyes. Retails at about Rs. 135 for 20 gms. Since my under eye area is quite darkened, this gel could not give much brightening. But yeah, it definitely gave soothing effect to my eyes. Aroma Magic Almond Under Eye Cream If you have major dark circle issues, you need something heavy duty like Aroma Magic Almond Eye Cream. Almond Oil helps in reducing under eye fine lines and dark circles to great extent. But you have to be patient and consistent with the application. This also retails at Rs. 135 for 20 gms. It worked little bit on my under eye area. This could not make much difference though. It moisturised my under eye area. It felt little heavy since it contained almond oil. Jovees 24 Carat Eye Contour Gel I have not personally used it, but have read lots of reviews. Recently my sister started using this since she is also dealing with dark circles and fine lines under her eyes.It’s working for her. A unique formulation containing 24 Carat Gold leaves, precious herbs and botanical along with pure gold. Since it’s a gel, it won’t feel heavy on your eyes. It refreshes eye area. You might layer up your regular moisturiser upon this gel for extra hydration. Retails at Rs. 235. Forest Essentials Eye Cream With Anise My HG eye cream. It’s texture, efficacy & smell, every thing is so wonderful. It gave results in about 2 weeks. It also helped me with fine lines under my eyes. It brightened my under eye area. It lasts very long since you need very little amount for each application. Read the full review here. The only downside of this eye cream is it’s ever raising cost. When I first started using it, it used to come for about 15oo bucks, very costly even at that price. Now, it retails at about 2200 bucks only for a 15ml pot. Way too costly. Oriflame Optimals Seeing Is Believing Eye Cream This is an eye cream which is not as costly as Forest Essentials Eye Cream, but almost as efficient. There is only little difference between Forest Essentials Eye Cream and Oriflame Optimals Eye Cream. Oriflame Eye Cream also take care of the dark circles and fine lines but it takes some time, while Forest essentials show results withing a lesser time period. To maintain the effects, you must use an eye cream. Oriflame’s Eye Cream retails for about 500-600 bucks, but I always buy it from Amazon at discount. Juicy Chemistry Coffee & Green Tea Eye Cream Who does not want fast results? Juicy Chemistry is a herbal brand. But it’s products are exceptionally quick to deliver results. Within 4-5 days my under eye area started looking moisturized and relaxed. Within 10-15 days, it started looking brighter than before. Being affordable & natural is like bonus point. Clinique All About Eyes I have used the tinted version of this cream as well as the non tinted version. This proved to be a good eye cream, just very costly. This is quite rich in consistency and provide good hydration. Gives little brightening effect to eye and also helps with fine lines. But it costs about 2850. Forest essential is cheaper and more effective. Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector This is actually a concealer plus eye cream. You can take it as a tinted eye cream. I didn’t find much difference in my dark circle while using it. I took it more as a very costly concealer since it costs around 3250 bucks. Himalaya Under Eye Cream I have seen people raving so much about this under eye cream, but my dark circle are quite intense, this cream could not do much about them. It retails for about 165 bucks, get from Amazon.in at discount. Biotique Bio Almond Soothing & Nourishing Under Eye Cream This is quite a thick cream, I found it too thick for an eye cream. I really had to rub it vigorously to try to make it fully absorbed into the skin which it never did. It just sat under my eyes. It was helpful with the dark circles, but I just didn’t like it for it’s texture. Also it took time to show up some results. It costs about Rs. 199 but available at discount on Amazon.in. Oriflame Royal Velvet Firming Eye Contour Cream It is not actually meant for dark circles, but it is rather a firming cream. It of course didn’t do much for my dark circles, but yeah worked little bit on the fine lines under my eyes. I didn’t repurchase it, because, I stumbled upon Forest Essentials Eye Cream by the time I finished this eye cream from Oriflame. Iraa InstaRenew Multi Action Under Eye Cream This is a light weight, fast absorbing & non greasy eye cream. It works to improve under eye texture and gives a smooth look. But do not expect much improvement in the improvement of dark circles. L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Eye Cream This is the worst eye cream I ever used. I am sorry L’Oreal, but I actually had an allergic reaction from this eye cream in first few usages. I bought the Youth Code Serum & Eye Cream few months back, but both proved to be a disaster. The face serum gave me rashes while the eye cream irritated my under eye area. End Of Story. I shared my experience with some eye creams so that it could help some one. Look out for a rich in moisture eye cream if you are 25+, lack of moisture can introduce & intensify the eye area darkness & fine lines. You can go for gel based under eye treatments just for relaxation. I will also share how I conceal my under eye area. Stay tuned. XOXO. Image Source : Google.

Hi, there. Hows your Monday going on? Power packed? This post is going to be about an eye cream I am absolutely adore. I like to use eye creams since I have dark circles plus dehydrated under eye area. I might not use a moisturiser, but I need to put an eye cream. I have used many eye creams till now. I remember my first eye cream was from Biotique, it was so thick and useless. I tried on Aroma Magic under eye later on, was not quite impressed by that too. After that I tried many brands such as Neutrogena, L’Oreal, Jovees etc but finally eye creams from Forest Essentials & Oriflame made a permanent stay in my vanity.

Smells mild and sweet. My Views I have deep set eyes, my eyes are most prominent to develop dark circles. Also, due to my profession and addiction to makeup & beauty blogs, dark circles are here to stay under my eyes. My under eyes area looks dehydrated if I don’t use an eye cream & I start to develop fine lines under my eyes. Forest Essentials Eye Cream is my favourite eye cream. But Oriflame Optimals eye cream is nothing less. I am very much happy with this cream also. I use it once in the morning, and again at night before retiring to bed. I like its smooth & light texture. I disappears into the skin leaving behind nothing, no oiliness/ greasiness. The under eye area stays hydrated for entire day. Over a time of period it helps smooth out fine lines little bit. Also the under eye area appears well rested and bright. Stretchy feeling is gone. I don’t have puffy eyes, so can’t comment on that part, but the brightening thing works. This cream does not show results within few applications, you need to stay consistent. If I skip using it, my under eye area looks tired. To keep the results, one must keep on using it. Likes Very light and smooth texture. Gets easily absorbed. No oiliness/ greasiness left behind. You can wear makeup over it. Brightens under eye area. Smoothens fine lines to an extent. Under eye area is revitalised, looks rested One pot goes for at least 3 months even if used twice a day Dislikes Little pricey. But you can get it on Amazon.in for a highly discounted price. Takes time to show the results. Also one must keep on using it to maintain the effects. Summary : 4.5 I really like this eye cream for being so potent. It feels light on skin. It does not leave behind any residue so that you can put makeup afterwords. It brightens under eye area. I feel it is a great alternate to another amazing but costly eye cream from Forest Essentials.

Oriflame Tenderly Body Spray : Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 08:59:46 +0000

Fragrant-ed Body Sprays are a great way to start your day. They uplift your mood and spirit. They keep you cheerful. If I talk about my self, fragrances take me to a new level of Ecstasy. I sometimes spritz a mix of Lavender and Vanilla on my pillow so that I can dream about flowers & blossoms (it happens). If I feel bored or just low, my favourite perfume can change the picture instantly. Sometimes I wear one, just because, I miss it. Mandarin Blossom, Poppy, Orchid & Vanilla, what a seductive blend. Oriflame’s Tenderly Body Spray possesses this blend. When I first sniffed this body spray, I was like, Oh boy, where have you been. The perfume version also smells the same. I got the body spray so that I could swim into its fruity & flowery smell everyday. Oriflame Sweden Tenderly Body Spray: Tenderly by Oriflame is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. Tenderly was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Emilie (Bevierre) Coppermann. Top notes are mandarin blossom, clover and blackberry; middle notes are poppy, orchid, magnolia and chamomile; base notes are sandalwood, heliotrope and vanilla. (source- Fragrantica.com) Price: Rs. 229 for 75ml. Availability: Available via Oriflame consultants. Also available online. Buy form Amazon at discounted price. How To Use: Shake well and spray evenly 15cm from your body. Precautions: It is a pressurised container. May burst if heated. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames & other ignition sources. No smoking. Do not pierce or burn even after use. Do not expose to temperature exceeding more than 50 degree Celsius.

It is travel friendly as it does not weigh much. Smell: Mainly it is a fruity-flowery smell. You will notice flowery, sweet, powdery & fruity smell. You won’t be able to make out if you are smelling a flower or something more intense. Staying Power: The smell stays strong for 3-4 hours. Others can tell if I am wearing something. After that it lightly fades away. But if I smell my own skin, I can still find the traces on my skin even after 7-8 hours. Summary: 3.5/5 Oriflame’s fragrances are quite unique and I have always been a fan. This body spray smells mystical, just not a long lasting one. The packaging is attractive. Can be used as a gift item. Have you used this body spray? What is your favourite fragrance? Leave your valuable comments below. Stay High, Stay Fab.
