Hello, Fireflies!
"Ingredients matter." That's how Poppy Austin's code begins, and how I think this blog post should, too. When I'm putting something on my skin, and especially near my eyes, ingredients matter.
Poppy Austin's eye cream comes in a minimalist white pump with black lettering. Sleek and sophisticated, with packaging that is not only pleasing to the eye, but also protects the effectiveness of the cream by limiting the exposure to light and air. The ingredient list is long, but I recognized most of them - plant oils and extracts, mostly. All Poppy Austin's products are sourced as naturally and organically as possible, with a focus on getting the best quality ingredients.
I enjoyed this light, gentle eye cream very much. It's naturally free from silicones, parabens, additives, fillers and alcohol, and it's never tested on animals. It appeared unscented to me, which I prefer in an eye cream. I have oily skin, so I don't get as many fine lines, but this also means that I can't use really rich eye creams, or I'll break out. This eye cream worked well with my skin, and says it will work with all skin types, even sensitive ones. If it doesn't work for you, or you're not satisfied in any way, they have a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee, too.
I found it to be soothing, light, refreshing, and it did seem to deflate those puffy bags under my tired eyes. I like to use my eye creams around my mouth as well, to tighten and brighten the fine lines around my lips, and this one worked well not only around my mouth, but I found I could use it all over my face as a soothing serum. This is really handy when traveling, and you don't want to bring an extra bottle.
Sure, I am a magpie when it comes to shiny, pretty bottles, but there is something elegant about the classic white and black packaging that adorns all of Poppy Austin's line. My eye kept coming back to the trademark circle, and that became the inspiration for my single-dotticure nailart homage to this Poppy Austin Eye Cream.
For more information about Poppy Austin, you can find them on their website, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, and Amazon, where this eye cream currently retails for $22.49.
