Recently, Megan and I went shopping at
Sephora. Although I needed a few products, I prefer to buy them at a pharmacy
so that I can get Airmiles or some form of points. So I browsed a bit with no
intention of buying. A friend of Megan’s sent me some samples for Arbonne and
although I had a bad experience (all my fault), I wanted to try the eye cream
because I had a ugly bump on my rosacea star (that people have confused for a
zit.) I was really surprised that it worked, the bump went away. This made me want an eye cream even though I
have always thought that I was still too young to use one. From looking at recent
pictures, I've learned that I have to stop living in the past...by which I mean I am not as young as I used to be. So whilst in
Sephora, I took a gander at some eye creams but I was astounded by the price.
It’s such a small tube...no points...not sure of efficacy. Then, as Megan was
piling up her basket, I came across a brand that I did not recognize. Bliss. It sounded divine and the packaging
was clean and simple. I picked up a tube of Fabulous Everyday Eye Cream 15ml
for $36. It is supposed to help keep the skin around our eyes hydrated and
brighten the look of dark circles. I
actually think that nothing can help with the dark circles until the kids are
off to boarding school but I was interested in the promise that moisture would be locked-in. At
first there was very little going on. I don’t believe in miracles so I didn't expect too much but maybe a bit of improvement on the bump situation. Then
after a week I noticed that the veins of the rosacea star were diminishing. And
after two weeks, the bump was growing smaller as well. Well, colour me surprised! I thought that a
laser treatment at the dermatologist’s office was the only cure for my rosacea
but this blissful little eye cream has really been working wonders. I might even try
some more products from this spa brand. When trying new brands and products,
there is always a possibility that you are wasting your money, so I’m super
happy to report that this time it was worth the risk!
