Good Finds: Shiseido and Olay Eye Creams




I never use to use eye creams but one day, my Aunt sent me a sample size of the Shiseido eye cream as part of her beauty package in one of her balikbayan boxes. I saw a couple of YouTube beauty videos and the girls were talking about how using eye creams made a huge difference in their skin. They said that eye creams are formulated to protect skin from dehydration and dramatically minimize the appearance of wrinkles and lines to promote a youthfully smooth, radiant look. No body want to look  older than their age so I gave the Shiseido eye a cream a try and I loved it.  For the most part I like its texture. It has a gel like consistency and it glides on smoothly on your skin. It feels refreshing and so luxurious. 

They say that you should use eye cream when you hit the early twenties. I just turned 26 but I have never used creams before. So I figured now is the right time for me to start taking care of my skin. I had used up the whole sample of the Shiseido eye cream and I noticed that it did improve the texture of my skin. Applying eye cream is now an important step in my nighttime  routine. I wanted to buy the full size of the Shiseido eye cream but I was amazed how expensive it was. I decided to go the drugstore route and looked for an affordable alternative. I went to Watson’s and bought the Olay Anti-aging eye cream and started using it.  Compared to the Shiseido one, the Olay was good but it was not the best. It still gave my skin the moisture that it needed but the texture is not as luxurious as the Shiseido one.

Comparison:

Shiseido Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream
Texture: Gel like (thick cream)
Application: smooth and silky
Skin absorption: It takes about 5 to 10 mins before it fully absorbed by the skin because it is thicker.
Full size price: $52-$55 around 2,300 pesos
Product size: 0.52 oz



Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Anti-ageing eye cream
Texture: thin cream and somewhat watery
Application:  smooth application with a slight cooling effect
Skin application: it instantly sinks into the skin.
Full size price: $14-$15 around 650 pesos
Product size: 0.50 oz

 

Well both eye creams are good and they both have anti-ageing properties. My skin doesn’t react negatively to both of them and both yield visible improvement to my skin. It made my skin more plump and smooth and it made makeup application much easier.

If you have the money and you want something luxurious, I definitely recommend the Shiseido Benefiance eye cream. Its a bit of splurge for an eye cream but I think, it is worth it. Maybe you could ask for the Shiseido eye cream in your holiday wish list. For those with limited budget like me, the Olay eye cream is also good. It is a no fuss eye cream, it gets the job done and it doesn’t break the bank.

  42. Three models to look out for are the X4 H107L RTF, H107C HD and the H107D FPV X4 Mini RTF.

    the lift and degree of throttle of the quadcopter. 3 (Gingerbread) introduces many

    of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
