Lots of efforts are definitely put in the packaging. How cute is it?
Bright Eyes Firming Oil ($25 for 1 fl oz)
Wake up those soulful peepers of yours with this lightweight, yet nourishing under-eye serum.
Fractionated Coconut Oil is deeply hydrating, yet glides on lightly with a silky finish. Carrot Oil is amazing for smoothing delicate and sensitive areas, while powerhouse Argan, Borage, and Evening Primrose Oils feed the skin with beneficial essential fatty acids. Rose and Neroli essential oils help refresh and rejuvenate sleepy skin.
I'm only 22 so I don't think I need specific undereye cares as of yet, but I do like to use eye creams, and I was thrilled to try this product as it's the first time I tried an eye oil.
The first thing I instantly loved about this product is the glass dropper that allows you to use just a drop of product on each eye. That way, there's no mess or waste of product.
Of course, it's an oil, so don't expect it to not be oily! You really don't need a big quantity of product, but it does take some time to be absorbed in the skin. I personally don't like to use this in the day as it keeps making me blink my eyes, and it can make your makeup messy. However, it's a real treat at night before bed.
Because of eczema, my undereye area tends to be sensitive and dry, but I was pleased to see that this eye oil is really moisturizing and leaves the skin around my eyes feeling super silky.

Good Day Face Oil ($25 for 1 fl oz)
A light and effective blend to soothe and balance sensitive skin. Ideal for daytime use.
Blackcurrant, Cherry and Ricebran oils are rich in antioxidants. Argan oil is an all around powerhouse with anti-aging properties.
This face oil works wonders on my dry patches of skin due to eczema. It's runnier than the eye oil and although the texture is light, it doesn't seem to sink right into the skin so I personally avoid to use it in the day, or if I do, I make sure to use it only on the dry patches of skin.
As for most oil based products, you don't need to use a big quantity to feel your skin being moisturized and super smooth.

High Five Hand & Nail Oil ($20 for 2 fl oz)
A wonderful combination of nourishing oils to protect and soothe dry, chapped and irritated hands - and it's free from nut oils too!
I must admit that at first, I was reluctant to use oil on my hands in the day as I didn't want my hands to be all greasy and slippery, so I first tested this product on my cuticles, but I was happily surprised at how fast this product was absorbed so I used it all over my hands, and I wasn't disappointed! I like to rub my hands together until all the oil is absorbed and then I'm ready to go!
Althought it doesn't seem to have really help the eczema on my hands, it does make them super soft and I hope it will help in the long run.

Lip Service ($5 for 0.15 oz)
A lip balm dream come true...
Sheer and smooth, with good staying power. Moisturizing without being sticky. Scent and flavour-free.
This is my favorite item of the bunch! I have constantly dry and chapped lips due to eczema and I have yet to find the perfect lipbalm, so I'm alway thrilled to try new lip products. This one sure didn't disappointed!
It contains beeswax so it won't melt like a vegan lipbalm, but it's not as "hard" as Burt's Bees Lipbalm, for example. It does glide nicely on the lip and it seems to last quite a long time.
I think everybody would be happy with this lipbalm as it's natural, scent and flavour-free, and it's quite affordable, too!
