Review: A'kin Purely Revitalising Lifting Eye Creme
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 |
Now I by no means need any product to combat any sort of sign of ageing because I'm only 18, but that doesn't mean the genetic mishap of my fathers deep ingrained wrinkles beneath his eyes, which apparently formed in his youth, do not need to be attended to. I often find when applying concealer that no matter how expensive the product, it settles comfortably for the night within the little creases under my eyes. Not to mention the dark circles that gain me daily complements of, "You look so tired, Alex!", "Restless night?", and "You feeling okay? You look sad." - because somehow dark circles equate to sadness, right?

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.
- 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.
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
2/5 stars.
The product has only slighly decreased the appearance wrinkles/lines under my eyes and has moisturised the under-eye area to prevent severe creasing of concealers which are the products' only admirable features. Otherwise, it's an average product probably not worth the $29.99 value from Priceline (which is now on sale for only $20 if you'd like to try) but I wouldn't rush to buy it.
