Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado Review

Hi girlies!

I would like to share my review on the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado today. I was first introduced to this product when I received a Kiehl's gift box during Secret Santa one year. A full sized product of this eye treatment was included in that gift box. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to purchase one earlier this year when I ran out of eye creams and this is now my second pot. I actually bought this online with my Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate in which I did a blogpost here if you're interested.

The texture is very creamy - it is definitely on the thick side, but I don't find it to be too heavy. Because of the heavier texture, I only use this product for nighttime and I feel like it keeps my eye area adequately hydrated throughout the night so that it doesn't feel dry in the morning. For daytime, I use my Boots Cucumber Whitening Eye Gel Review which I find a whole lot lighter in terms of texture and the lasting power isn't as strong. I did a review on the Boots Cucumber Whitening Eye Gel here on this blogpost.

 I paid about USD61 for 15ml of product. It's on the pricier side but overall, I think it's reasonable as a little of product does go a long way. There's a slight hint of scent that I enjoy. 

Effectiveness: Keeps my eye area hydrated throughout the night (I only use this as a night eye cream).

Texture: Creamy but not too heavy.

Packaging: In a jar. You have to dip your fingers into it. lightweight.

Price: Reasonable, but on the pricier side.

Repurchase? Already did as this is my second jar. I would like to explore other options but am willing to go back to this if I don't find other eye creams that I like as much as this.

Much love.

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Review

Hi girlies! I can't believe it has been more than 2 years since my last post. A lot has happened in these past couple of years. In short, I have relocated back to Canada, but this time I'm in Vancouver! I can't wait to explore this beautiful west coast city! Maybe I'll go through that in another post. Because of this change, I was in search of a new skincare regime that would work well with my new lifestyle and new climate. During this search, I believe I've found a product that I truly enjoy using on a daily basis - it's the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate.

The Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate claims that it's "a replenishing elixir of pure essential oils and distilled botanicals to visibly restore the appearance of skin by morning". The one I have is 1. fl oz or 50 ml. I purchased this online along with the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado during a 20% online sale from their official website back in February this year. At that time, I had tried the eye treatment previously and had liked it. I wanted to try the concentrate in a smaller size, but they were sold out so I had to get the larger size. To be honest, I was a bit hesitant at that moment since I've never tried it and didn't want to commit to a big bottle right off the bet. However, I was in desperate needs of a serum-like product that I went ahead and made the order. I recall that since the order was above a certain value, free shipping was included.

In terms of texture, even though it's a oil, this product does not leave your skin feeling oily or uncomfortable. It is quite lightweight. One thing is that if you don't apply other creams on top of it, it tends to slide around on your face (afterall, it is an oil). After about 5 months of using this, I do feel it has positive results on my skin. My skin now feels adequately moisturized most of the time. I'm trying to apply this product to my neck as well as it's an area that I often miss and now the skin there is a bit rough. I will report back if I see any drastic results! 

This product is lightly scented. I personally don't mind the scent too much, actually I quite like it. But beware if you usually don't like scented products.

 I'm more than half done the bottle after 5 months of usage, which I think it's pretty good considering that I actually use the produce during the day as well since I haven't found a daytime serum that I like yet. If you have any recommendations, please let me know! 

Effectiveness: Leaves your skin feeling moisturized throughout the day.

Texture: Great consistency. Lightweight. It's better to apply other creams on top of it in a timely manner as it tends to slide around on your face if applied alone.

Packaging: Loving the pump design and how messy-free it is!

Price: Reasonable

Repurchase? YES!

Much love!
