Skincare Routine: Eye Cream

by Sophie Langlois


I'll keep this one short and sweet. I have used two eye creams in my life. One that I absolutley love, but is pricey and another that I am kinda luke warm about. 

1. Laura Mercier Repair Eye Serum

I LOVE this eye cream. I found it when I was getting my makeup done at the Laura counter for prom a few years ago and I was SOLD. Yes, it is incredibly expensive, which is why it is so hard for me to reinvest in it, especially when eye cream may not seem like as much of a necessity as other products. However, eye cream is incredibly important, especially when you are younger, because it is a way of protecting some of the most sensitive skin on your body. I especially love this eye cream because not only does it protect against wrinkles and other preventative measures, but it also has a cooling feeling to decrease swelling and redness. It leaves my under eyes with a luminescent glow, which is perfect for wearing it on its own or using this as a primer for makeup. 

2. Ole Henriksen Up Lifting Transformative Eye Cream

I bought this eye cream after I ran out of my second bottle of the Laura Mercier product and it has been good to me. I love the cooling aspect of it and, to no surprise, the holistic approach of the Ole Heriksen brand itself. However, this eye cream does not give me the same luminescent glow or priming feeling that the other one did. This is definitely a night time product and not something that I could layer makeup on top of, so if you are looking for something to wear overnight I do recommend this product. For me, it's not the product, but the lack of versatility that I have with it that is making me not as big of a fan.
