Hello everyone!

So over the past few weeks I was eagerly searching for an avenue to make my début at imitating the recently favoured trend of bold and dramatic eyebrows. As you will see below, I have unruly eyebrows, predominantly because I'm too scared to wax the top off in case I end up looking perpetually inexpressive afterwards. But what sparked this new-found determination to be "in with the times" was when I began to notice in photographs, particularly when taken with the flash on, that my eyebrows were grey. This was unsettling to say the least and was what motivated my search for a holy grail eyebrow item that could fill in the few gaps while concurrently not making the brows look overly fabricated and stencilled. (Only because they're already full and shapely - I am in no way disparaging anyone who prefers to draw their brows on afresh.)

Helllo world! Happy New Year to all, at last 2015 is here! I'm feeling positive about the year to come as well as apprehensive for the change I'm going to experience by going to Uni! *shudder*

Anyway I'm just here to do a quick review on an eye cream I've been using for over a month as it seems that's a reasonable testing period to formulate an accurate and sincere review. The product is "[A'kin] Purely Revitalising Lifting Eye Creme" (by Purist).

Description of the eye creme

As described on the packaging, the crème naturally combats the signs of ageing by lifting and revitalising the fine skin around the eyes. It claims to smooth wrinkles and brighten the eye area.

Review:
Pros:

• The consistency isn't too thick and is easy to gently tap into the skin and absorbs quickly.
  

  The appearance of the cream

• Smoothing wrinkles: After a month of applying the product every morning and night, I have noticed that the lines under my eyes have decreased slightly. They are not as deep and prominent as they once were, prior to my non-eye-creme using days. 
• When applying concealer under my eyes, all products still crease slightly- which is normal for me since the wrinkles were not completely eradicated, only minimised - but the creasing of concealers has lessened immensely which is an overall positive result since commencing the use of this product.
• Extremely moisturising.

Cons:

• Brightening eye area: The area is by no means brighter than the initial darkness that I began with, so unfortunately that feature of the cream didn't have any effect on me.
• Only diminished the appearance of under-eye wrinkles/lines to a small extent.
