Is Eye Cream Necessary?

I can’t live without my eye creams. I am using Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv now, and if I’m not using it, I feel that something is missing for the day. A lot of experts said that it’s not necessary to use an eye cream, just check out here. But of course, if you are looking for something which targeted the eye problem, maybe an eye cream will work better for you, than a normal facial moisturizer.

Just check out the best eye cream for dark circles and eye lines available in the market, and get one which fits your budget. Bear in mind that you can’t see an instant result, so it’s a long term investment. Do consider the price of that small little bottle of 15ml before you commit yourself into a pricey one!

Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner


Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner

I should be getting more high paying finance jobs soon. I’ve just spent a bomb on makeup, which I clearly hardly use. :P

Oh well, since I’ve bought Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner, I might as well blog about how I think about it. It’s not my first eye gel, and I’ve tried Kate and L’oreal previously. Of course, I haven’t tried the more popular ones like Mac and Bobbi Brown, but I could say that Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner works fine on me. At least it really stays on for long hours, and only smears by the end of the day. Even so, it’s not a lot. I have very oily eye lids too.

The brush works fine with me, but I wish that it’s a bit longer. Oh well, it comes with the eye gel, so I will just use it then.

In short, I might get another bottle next time, once this is finished. However, it should be able to last me a very long time.

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lifting Eye Cream

As much as I wish to get some loose diamonds from some shopping trips back home, but I can’t afford any. :P I only managed to get some clothes for my kids, some books, spent a lot on food and got myself this exclusive travel set of Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lifting Eye Cream.

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lifting Eye Cream

I used one many years ago, then I switched to Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Eye Creme. I guess it’s an impulsive purchase as I felt like buying something at the airport. :P

Since it’s a twin pack, they might last me until the end of the year. By then, I will start shopping for the Christmas sets!

Estee Lauder Stay-in-place Eye Pencil

I have a few eye crayon, eye liner gel and eye pencils in my drawer, but after some used, I will surely put them aside because I was not pleased with the results. I have oily eye lids, even if I look alright in the morning, and the eye liner works very well initially, but by the evening, my eye area would look all messed up.

But after numerous trials on Estee Lauder Stay-in-place Eye pencil, I’ve finally made up my mind in getting one last weekend. It does stay in place after long hours, and it claims to be long lasting for about 12 hours, so it works well for me during work days.

W3E0_311x311Ooops…I’ve forgotten to snap a photo of the eye pencil, so I took the photo from EsteeLauder.com. :P

I bought the one in Coffee, and it’s suitable for normal day use. The promoter kept telling me that I look more dramatic and sexy in Onyx. I am not used to seeing myself in smokey black liner on every day use, so I didn’t purchase it.

I bought another product from Estee Lauder too, but again, I haven’t snapped the photo. I’ve been quite forgetful lately, can’t even remember to do the best fat burning exercise, so let alone grabbing my camera. :P

But that will be updated in another post.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Shadow Creme

I love cream eye shadows but all works for me. Some creates too much grease after a while, and my eyes look so oily. Not to mention, I look so dirty and worn off.

But I love the Double Wear Stay-In-Place Shadow Creme by Estee Lauder. I’ve been using them for more than a week, and my eyes are still looking fresh after a long day at work. I bought Ivory Lace and Silver Leaf, and both works well for daily use. I shall get some more colors when I drop by the counter next time.

I won’t say that I look like a supermodel from magazines and books, but my eyes really look better with the stay-in-place shadow creme. So, I love it. :)

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Eye Creme

I’ve lost count of the number of Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Eye Creme I’ve used over the years. I’ve just bought a new bottle last weekend because Time Zone eye cream is still out of stock. So, I guess I will have to stick to Re-Nutriv for the time being.

Some might say that an eye cream is not necessary. But for me, I need it. I didn’t sleep much after I became a mother, and I have a rather stressful like. My eye area looks older for my age, so I really need to get them fixed. :P If you are wondering if you ever need an eye product, click here to learn more

My Beauty Wish List…

 With the change of weather in Bangkok lately, it’s time for me to get some new products for my skin. I know myself pretty well, I need something richer and more moisturizing during windy season, and I’m keen to get these 2 products:

Estée Lauder ‘Advanced Night Repair’ Synchronized Recovery Complex

I’m a big fan of Estee Lauder and I’ve been using ANR for years. My last bottle was 2 or 3 months ago, but it’s not the latest version. I’m replacing it for Lancome Blanc Expert GN-White New Whiteness Spot Eraser now, but since summer is over, it’s time to switch back to ANR.

Besides that, I’m looking for eye cream. I’m still thinking if I should continue with Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme for eyes as I’m obviously don’t like Bio-essense 24k Bio Gold Eye Set. :P

So, Dior Capture Totale comes in mind…

I’m still checking out its price. My friend told me it’s pricey to get skincare and makeup in Thailand, and I can’t agree more!!! With a tight budget, money factor comes first! Too bad I can’t sell off the old desktop computers at home, if not maybe I will have some extra cash. LOL!

Bio-essense 24k Bio Gold Eye Set

I this pack of Bio-essence from Watsun the other day out of curiosity and “si lai-ness” because it’s quite cheap. Not that I’m a regular user of Bio-essence, but the 24k bio gold product line does look “attractive” to me and I’m willing to give it a try.

The eye gel is quite light, with some gold flakes that “absorb” into the skin after some massage, but I don’t see a lot of difference in lightening my dark circles as comparing to Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv eye cream. But then again, the price different is almost like 3x, so I can’t expect too much. You just can’t compare a low cost health insurance with an expensive one, ok? :P

So, it’s best to stick to my regular eye cream brands, even if the price is so much higher.

Double Lash by Mavala

My friend told me about Mavala, and I’m interested to find out more about Double Lash by Mavala.

Eye lashes are an essential element of face beauty. Double Lash contains proteins which strengthen, cover and protect the lashes allowing them to become healthy, long and resistant.

It is the natural active ingredients in Double Lash which stimulate growth of the lashes giving them a lovely luxuriant and silky appearance.

I wonder if this product is available at Sasa back home?  I can’t find Sasa in Bangkok, so I shall try to look for this product when I fly back home soon. I need to get a new battery operated lash curler too, and it can be found at Sasa. I have to protect my lash as I use electric curler almost everyday for my stubborn lashes. They just won’t curl up with the normal lash curler!

I shall list down this item in my shopping list and save the copy of the product photo in my hard drives. Mmm…one more item added and more money is going to be spent soon when I get home.
