The Jojoba Company Cucumber and Guava Firming Eye Balm

I love when I first start using a new eye cream, I'm always hoping that this one might be the one. I've been racking my brain to try and remember an eye product that I have repurchased and I really don't think I have! I've tried eye creams that I have enjoyed using, but not enough that I can't live without it. Oh, plus there's that need to try new things- yes, I get serious FOMO. My latest discovery is The Jojoba Company Cucumber and Guava Firming Eye Balm.

Taken from the Jojoba Company- "Perfect for delicate skin around the eyes this blend of cucumber, guava, aloe vera, jojoba and pomegranate cools and soothes. Reduces puffiness, fine lines and dark circles. Eyes look brighter. Clinically proven to increase production  of collagen by up to 81% and elastin by 90%. Suitable for all skin types. "

The eye cream comes in a pink squeeze tube with 25 ml of product. Rather than the balm texture I was expecting, this product is definitely a cream. The cream has a light-weight consistency. It has an earthy scent, but I can detect a cucumber note.

Under the screw-top lid is a long slim nozzle for dispensing the cream, which is handy, because only a small sized dot is needed under each eye. I gently circle the product using my finger around the entire eye area. It absorbs very quickly, so is perfect for daytime use as well as night.


The eye cream provides instant hydration to the delicate eye area. This gives a noticeable plumping effect which smooths my sometimes crepy under eye, especially where the crows feet reside. They are still visible, but noticeably reduced.

My dark hollow circles are the same, which is no surprise, but I have noticed a firming after using for a few weeks. Nothing dramatic, but there is also a slight reduction in the puffiness. Oh yes, my under eye area offers the lot when it comes to effects of aging!

I like the Jojoba Company Cucumber and Guava Firming Eye Balm, but I can't say that it is life changing for me. I would have loved it when I was much younger when I didn't need to ask a lot of an eye cream. I have a feeling that my hunt will continue, but I am happy to keep this eye cream in my skincare rotation until I've finished it.

    Thanks IndieAna I’m on the hunt for an eye cream too. I’ve bought their face oil but I haven’t used it yet. I will keep their eye cream in mind when the time comes.

      There's just so many to choose from, it's hard to decide. I hope you find something you love! xx

    I think I may have tested this eye cream once before - from memory I think it has cetearyl alcohol as its 2nd ingredient, which I immediately reacted to upon application. I didn't get any redness, but I felt a stinging or heat sensation, which I knew wasn't good. I've used some other Jojoba Company stuff in the past, but I can't say I stuck with any of those products for too long (aside from the jojoba oil).

      Thankfully, I haven't reacted like you, Seashells. I really need to check ingredients, though! So far I haven't been hugely impressed by any of the products I have tried, except, like you, the jojoba oil.

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
