What They Say:
"This eye
cream fights all the signs of ageing while smoothing lines and firming the
delicate area. L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Eyes features a combination of
organic immortelle and myrtle essential oils enriched with buckwheat wax and
ash tree extract to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, and
rose floral water for soothing the delicate eye area. Other features of the
formula include the diminishment in signs of fatigue". What I Say:
When I saw the L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Eyes, I was instantly impressed. The gold
box, and has a very detailed description of the benefits of the product, and
the ingredients used. I also love the fact that it has the brail language on
the box, that is a nice touch.
Inside the box there is a solid yellow/gold glass
jar, which is so beautiful and just screams luxury. The jar is
see-through, which is handy so you can see exactly how much product you have
left. And I love that it comes with a pump, as I find it so much more hygienic
than jars of creams. The pump is so robust that it makes it easy to get just
the amount of product you need, so nothing is wasted.
The instructions recommends applying the eye cream with a
specific energising massaging technique – this did take me a little getting
used to, but I could definitely see the benefits of the increased blood
circulation in my face, and hence improving the absorption of the cream,
although I also have to admit to forgetting to do this massage every time I
applied the cream.
The Divine Eyes has a lovely scent of lemon, but it
is quite gentle, and doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes that easily water,
especially when products are too perfumed. The scent lingers for a little while
after using the cream, as I really like, as I love the refreshing scent of
lemon - my favourite scent!
It has a gel texture, and is very concentrated, so
just a gentle and small pump gives more than sufficient product for both eyes. The
cream absorbs immediately leaving my eye area feeling soft and smooth, and without
any greasy feeling, so during the day also the perfect to use under makeup.
After using the Divine Eyes for approximately 8 weeks, both
morning and night I feel that the look of my fines lines have improved and the
bags have minimised. The skin feels soft, smooth and thoroughly moisturised.
At $89 for 15ml it is not a cheap eye cream, but as only a very
tiny amount is needed so it will last you for quite some time. Having now used it
twice a day for the past two months, I still have approximately half left, so I
can imagine that a bottle will easily see you through four or so months, which
does help justify the high cost.
All in all, it is a fantastic eye cream, of very high quality and
with such great results, and therefore I would not hesitate to recommend it to
anybody over the age of 35 who is starting to be concerned with the signs of
ageing. It may be pricey, but if you can afford it, you really won’t be
disappointed. It truly is a divine cream.
Have you tried any of the products from L’Occitane? What do
you look for in an eye cream? And which eye cream is your favourite?
