What They Say:
Eye Care & Mask Duo Brightening Correction: This
triple-action formula works both as a daily eye cream and an eye-contour mask
for visible results. First, the eye area is smoothed: skin looks firmer and the
appearance of wrinkles is greatly reduced. Second, an even and luminous eye
area emerges: the eye contour seems brightened with Bellis Perennis extract.
Third, a fresh and rested look is achieved: puffiness and dark circles due to
age, stress and fatigue appear minimized through the action of
caffeine. As part of our Brightening Collection, this correction eye
treatment contains extract from the Immortelle flower, which never fades, even
after it has been picked. Organic Immortelle is rich in active molecules with
unique anti-ageing results.
RRP: $60 (15ml) – Available from L’OccitaneBrightening Essence contains a concentrate of the flowers of light, Immortelle and Bellis Perennis to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, even out skin tone and illuminate the complexion. The reformulated serum helps to diminish the appearance of wrinkles while making the complexion more even-toned and brighter thanks to its ultra-concentrated formula. After seven days, a more luminous complexion emerges: skin better reflects light thanks to Wintergreen leaf and Garden Nasturtium extracts that help natural exfoliation and smooth skin micro-relief. Over time, skin becomes smoother and the appearance of wrinkles is visibly reduced. A combination of Bellis Perennis extract and a derivative of Vitamin C helps to unify and brighten the complexion.
What I Say:
The Immortelle Brightening Eye Care & Mask Duo
Brightening Correction has as the name suggests, two functions – it can be used
either as an eye cream, or alternatively as an eye mask. It has the consistency
of a gel cream that can be used both morning and evening, and it has a soothing
and cooling applicator to help you gently spread the gel across they eye area,
and give it a gentle massage.
Because of the light gel consistency, the cream absorbs
instantly into the skin, which means that if use during the day, you can apply
you makeup immediately afterwards. 
After application the skin around the eye area instantly
looks smoother, and after using if for a month or so, I generally feel that
fine lines and wrinkles are less noticeable, and bags under the eyes have
reduced in appearance too, and hence the eye area simply looks fresher,
brighter and more awake.
I have to admit to mostly having used it as an eye cream,
but you can use it as a mask as well, simply by applying a thicker layer and
leaving it on for 10 minutes or so, before wiping off any excess, without
rinsing it off. When I have used it as a mask, I have done so at night, so that
I can clearly see the benefits in the morning when I wake up too! And I do
really love the effect of the cream when used as a mask, and the only reason I
simply forget to use it as a mask, whereas it is such a habit applying an eye
cream!
The Immortelle Brightening Essence is a very light serum
that can be used both morning and evening to clean and dry skin, before your
moisturiser. The serum has a dropper applicator that makes it easy to dispense
just the few drops a required, and in fact you just need 2-3 drops to cover
your full face, so the bottle will last you a long time. The essence has a
beautiful gentle and fresh floral scent that does fade little after little.
The Essence is incredibly light, and it absorbs extremely
fast into the skin, and leaves no greasiness or tackiness behind, so you
wouldn’t even know you wearing it, if it wasn’t for the velvety soft skin you
left with. 
And already after using the Essence for a few days I started
to notice a difference in my skin. My skin simply started to feel softer and
smoother, thanks to ingredients that helps natural exfoliation. But my skin also
looked brighter and more glowing, and more plumb too, which consequently means
that fine lines and wrinkles seemed to have reduced in size too. And in
addition, my combination skin, actually also started to feel less oily,
especially in the t-zone area. As for minimising pigmentation, while I do feel
that the Essence has left my skin with a nice glow, I am not sure that it has
made any major difference to my pigmentation – however, here it is also
important to mention that I am pregnant, and have noticed increased
pigmentation during my pregnancy, so the Essence has also been fighting an
up-hill impossible battle!
Overall, L’Occitane has managed to impress me yet again.
Both the Brightening Essence and the Eye Care & Mask Duo are both beautiful
products and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using them, and the fact that already
after just a few days of use, I could see the improvement in my skin, means
that I definitely wouldn’t hesitate purchasing these products again, as well as
try the rest of the products available in the range!

The eye cream sounds great! I really love L'Occitane products. They always smell so good and seem to sink into my skin well.
