Review: Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 intensive eye contour cream

I like this eye cream! It's more than an eye cream. I not only use it on my undereye area, but also on my lips and whole face.

The cream has very thick consistency, yet not greasy. It absorbs quickly. Since it's a little bit sticky, I use it as the last step of my skin care routine.

It says this is best for women around 40, but it works wonders for my mid-late 20s dry skin.

The sticky and thick consistency of the cream reminds me of cle de peau's intensive wrinkle cream (not sure about it's whole name, but it was a cream with airless pump.) It works better than cle de peau's cream. This eye cream can be the best dupe for cle de peau--inface, the whole line can be the dupe for cle de peau's older generation skin care lines.

The cream is not cheap, 15 ml retails at $65 CAD plus tax!

Review: CHANEL LE BLANC BRIGHTENING MOISTURIZING CREAM

50

The brightening moisturizing night cream is probably one of the cheapest Chanel's skin care products. It has 50 ml in it.

Personally I do not care too much about the brightening effects a product can bring to me. I simply like to try new products looks interesting to me.

The Chanel's night cream has a very classic and elegant look. The jar is quite heavy. The cream has some floral scent which I enjoy very much. I usually prefer unscented products. But the smell is so nice that I wish Chanel could make a perfume with the scent!

The cream is in gel-cream formula. Though it's not heavy, it's quite hydrating. When my skin is under normal condition, I can put a thick layer of it without topping anything else before sleep. When I wake up I do not feel dry, and skin is in well-balanced condition.

I am not sure how well it can lighten spots. But it makes my skin look healthy. Skin looks bright when it's healthy.

Overall, it's a good night cream that keep my skin moisturized and healthy. I like the texture and scent of it. I wish Chanel can make a perfume with that scent someday.
