Review: Laline Forever Proactive Eye Zone Care

I reviewed the Laline Hot Mama mask yesterday, but it's actually not the only Laline product I've been trying out lately. I also got some hair care products, as well as the Laline Forever Proactive Eye Zone Care eye cream, and since this is actually a really, really good eye cream, I thought I'd tell you why. Because if you are anything like me, finding a really good eye cream can be rather hard, so you might be really pleasantly surprised if you try this.

Why did I like it so much?
Well, first of all, it has simple, yet genius gimmick. You know how you are supposed to apply eye cream by putting it on your weakest finger and then pat gently until all the eye cream has absorbed? I don't really enjoy that, since it means getting my finger all sticky, but the Laline Forever Proactive Eye Zone Care actually comes with a cool pipe with a hole at the end of it, that will work just as your finger would, making it unnecessary to actually use your own finger. I think the construction on this eye cream is so brilliant, I can't really understand why other brands aren't doing this as well! (I guess they might start to, if they see this product somewhere)

The eye cream itself absorbs quickly and it thick, yet not too heavy, so basically: Just perfect! I must also admit that I have some fine lines around my eyes already that I am trying to battle, and this eye cream does minimize them, although it doesn't completely remove them. But I don't think any eye cream really does that (if you disagree, then please let me hear your recommendations!), so minimizing is good enough for me!

This is definitely an eye cream I will be purchasing again, and I would highly recommend it to almost everyone, since this seems like an eye cream suited for most skin types.

You can get this eye cream in the US as well, follow this link to read more about the Laline Forever Proactive Eye Zone Care, but it doesn't seem like it's available in Europe, Australia and Asia yet.

You should also know that Laline as a brand is completely cruelty free and does not test on animals. Yay!

My latest buys: New organic products from Laline

One of my favorite brands, when it comes to the cheaper price range, is definitely Laline. They make wonderful products, with great scents and in really pretty packages, in France and in Israel, and whenever I pass by one of their stores, I find it really hard not to buy something.
So when I had to go into a Laline store for a wedding present for a beauty freak, it was kind of a given that I would be getting something for myself as well.

And that I did!

Not a lot of stuff, but still.
What I ended up getting was a Lily of the valley-scented soap (Laline's soaps are amazing, if you only buy one thing there, I highly recommend that it is a soap. I tend to go for the lemon and the Lily of the valley scented soaps myself, but there are plenty of others to choose from as well) and two products from Laline's new, organic range.

This is their new organic Facial serum, that I wanted to try because I have previously tried their regular serum, which is just wonderful. It is enriched with both vitamin E and Macadamia Oil, and a whole 99.6 % of all the ingredients are completely natural, which I think is just great.

After having tried the Laline Facial serum at home though, I have to say that I was a bit dissapointed. Their regular facial serum smells like cucumber and leaves your face feeling really fresh, but this new serum is an oil, which mostly leaves you skin feeling... well, oily.
Some people with very dry skin might appreciate that sensation, but personally, I don't strive for oily skin, so I wish I had gotten the regular Facial serum instead.

The new Laline eye cream, also organic, was a much better buy, however. It consists of a lot of goodies, such as vitamin E as well, beeswax, Dead Sea minerals and shea butter, and you are supposed to apply it every morning and evening. I have done just that twice by now, and the eye cream is wonderful. It's easy to apply, it sinks in to your skin really fast and it does work wonders on that tricky area around the eyes.

So I can really recommend the Laline organic eye cream, but if you are looking for facial serums, I would keep looking, or try the cucumber one instead.

If you are not familiar with Laline, their stores can be found in:
San Fransisco
Tokyo
St. Thomas USVI
and Basel, Switzerland, besides in Israel.

A typical Laline store looks something like this:

Have a nice weekend everyone!
