After I had run out of Clinique’s All About the Eyes eye cream, I thought it was well about time to try something new. After all, I had already gone through two containers of All About the Eyes; it was high time for me to give something else a go.
And with my current infatuation with Innisfree (not unlike my infatuation with Yamazaki Kento), my next choice was obvious. So without further ado, I fired up my browser and looked into Innisfree’s selection of eye creams. After much deliberation, I decided to give its Orchid Eye Cream 30ml (RM111) a try.
What is it like?
When compared to Clinique’s All About the Eyes, I have to say that in terms of texture, I far prefer Clinique’s. It is just much more convenient than Innisfree’s Orchid Eye Cream. Precisely how, I will highlight in the following:
Innisfree’s Orchid Eye Cream is an anti-aging formula that comes with a slightly hard, thick and slippery texture. It is also infused with a floral scent, but this fades quickly enough to be a non-issue. That said, getting enough product on your ring finger can be a bit annoying because it’s not soft enough to instantly grip your skin, but that’s just a minor, nitpicky inconvenience. The real issue is that it can take a while for the cream to be absorbed into your skin; annoying for those who wish to quickly get on to applying their makeup.
But on the bright side, you’d be surprised by just how little of this cream can really go a long way. Honestly, I’ve been using mine for months now, and I haven’t even used 1/4 of it! Not even 1/5. It’s just that incredible.
Packaging
When it comes to beauty products being packaged in containers such as this, there’ll always be concerns for hygiene. Sticking your fingers in there all the time can’t be clean now, can it?
Which is precisely why this eye cream gets points docked off in terms of packaging. That problem aside, this container is recyclable, and that, my friend, is a huge plus.
End result
I was pleasantly surprised to find that despite being much cheaper than Clinique’s All About the Eyes, it was much more effective than the latter. As a result of using this eye cream, the area under my eyes are more moisturised and suffer from less fine lines.
Thank the Lord.
The best part is that, again, a little really goes a long way, so you’re getting a bang for your buck with this. 🙂
Where can I find it?
Innisfree.
