Restorsea Revitalizing Eye Cream- My New Favorite Eye Cream!/ Beauty Bar Allure Sample Society Box

Helllllo world!

I've been waiting a few weeks before doing this post because I really wanted to make sure that I love both this product, the Restorsea Revitalizing Eye Cream, and the monthly subscription box, Sample Society.

So, for the past two months, I have been subscribed to Allure's Sample Society beauty box, which you can get via BeautyBar.com for $15 a month and holy macaroni is it WORTH it! This is what came in my September 2014 box. Take a look at the beauties!

 Summary (Allure Sample Society):

- $15 a month for the Allure Sample Society at Beauty Bar's website
- You get quality products EVERY month, rarely a hit or miss kind of subscription...unlike some other ones...
- Each month that you order a box (you can cancel anytime!) you receive a code to get $10 off of a $50 purchase!
- Sign up for Sample Society here and use my referral code "THIS1939" for a discount on your first order!

(My new obsession)

For me, this is a no brainer. For $15, I received a full size Restorsea eye cream, Givenchy Dahlia Davin sample, Lorac POREfection primer sample, Tarte Brazilliance face wipes, and Alterna Caviar Protein Hair Cream. Alone, the total of these products is well over $100, but I was especially excited about the Restorsea Revitalizing Eye Cream because I had heard so many great things about the company, but I had never had a chance to try any of their products. This is where I'm going to give my opinion about the eye cream.

Restorsea Revitalizing Eye Cream

 Summary:

- Innovative eye cream using Restorsea's Vibransea^™ complex

- Leaves under eye area feeling luxuriously soft and absorbs makeup much better

- Hefty inital price of $85, but a little goes a long way and this will last you guys for a while

- You can find it here on Restorsea's website for the full size for $85, or you can sample it with the travel size here for only $28!

(I love the green and blue color choices for the logo!)

First off, take a look at it's adorable and sleek packaging! Their main logo is that of an infinity fish logo, which is also a number 8 on it's side. In the Chinese culture, the number 8 reflects fortuity and good fortune. You can read more about the company and it's remarkable main ingredient, the Vibransea complex, which "...is anchored by Aquabeautine XL®, a natural enzyme salmon release into the water at birth enabling them to safely emerge from their eggshells", right here. Moving on, let's take a look at the actual vial and the cream, itself.

 

(I just love the weight of this little vial! The base is glass and the top is a sturdy plastic)

 ("Use under eye area morning and evening")

 (Seriously the cutest logo EVER!) 

Here's what the website had to say about the many benefits of this amazing eye cream: 

• Minimizes the appearance of crow's feet
• Reduces puffiness
• Brightens dark circles
• Ophthalmologist tested
• Clinically tested
• Hypoallergenic
• Dermatologist tested
• Ophthalmologist tested
• Suitable for even the most sensitive skin
• Will not clog pores
• NO: parabens, PEGs, phthalates, silicone or mineral oil

Guys, I'm seriously obsessed with this eye cream. It does have a scent to it, but it is very light and pleasing. It has almost a hint of citrus and oat or mint to it that just makes me want to sniff the jar all day. Anyways, to use this eye cream, I would take a very small amount and gently rub and pat it under my eye and just to the side, where crow's feet wrinkles tend to form. Now, when I first used it, I did feel a tingling sensation under my eyes, but it didn't irritate me and I was happy to feel it going to work instantly. Like the website will tell you, this feeling did pass over time and now, I no longer feel anything but refreshed after using the eye cream.

(The cream itself, used daily and still SO much left!)

The team at Allure described this cream as being "more wet" (that may not have been the exact wording, but I do remember it being something about wet) and thinking...uh, what?? Now that I have tried it, I totally get what they mean. Not only does it do the job of moisturizing under the eye, but it doesn't absorb so quickly that it leaves the under eye sticky or dried out, but rather this luxurious dewiness. It does eventually absorb, but not instantaneously, which I prefer. I use the eye cream in the morning with my facial moisturizer, after my face has been washed, and before I go to bed, when my makeup has been all washed off. I didn't take a before and after picture, but I have been using eye creams for quite some time now, but I did notice that under my eyes feels softer and my concealer applies more smoothly and doesn't crease as much.

I hope I can get my hands on some more Restorsea products to give them a review because I love this eye cream so much, but I implore you to at least pick up the travel size for yourself and give it a shot! Your eyes will thank me and you can kiss those crow's feet 'bye bye'! Until next time... :) 

Peace and Love,
