skinfood salmon brightening eye cream

i have to admit, i have several posts postponed due to my laziness (procrastination.. ohhh..).. and now it's new year and i'm commited to finish all my postponed posts.

okay.. this is about eye cream. i have to admit, i haven't found any eye cream that i love just yet. not even this one. actually, i've tried several eye cream samples, and some non korean brand eye cream too, but none is satisfying. you might ask why i jumped to buy this eye cream in full size, well.. first, because i dislike my bodyshop eye cream and serum that much so i wanted to try another eye cream quickly at that time. second, because i've read so many reviews about this eye cream from several bloggers and they rave about it. some said they kept buying it again and again. so i decided to take plunge and bought it.

the whole salmon line from skinfood is targeted for eye area, including eye skin care and eye makeup such as concealer and powder. this is the description from their global website:

containing arbutin and the extracts of omega 3-rich salmon roe produced in hokkaido japan, this eye cream brightens and relieves dark circles around the eyes.

the packaging: i've bought several eye creams, and to be honest, 30g is a lot for me. i don't know why they packaged it in a tub. usually my eye cream came in pen-shaped tube or like toothpaste tub with pointy edge. i have no idea when it will finish.. i've used it for 4-5 months now, and i don't see it lessen in amount >.< oh, and the tub is quite heavy. i guess it's because the tub is made from glass covered with recycled paper. no spatula included.

the smell: no smell.. or perhaps it's very subtle so my nose can't pick it up.

the product: it cames in dusty pink thick cream. not as thick as the royal honey one, but thicker than body shop's. some said that it absorbs quickly, but for me, it took ages to absorb. i even pat it like crazy every night, so that's why i never use this cream in the morning. some said it has watery consistency since after you applied it on your skin, it spreads easily like water. and it will keep like that for around five minutes for me.

the result: if you're expecting for instant brightening result, you might skip this one. somehow most korean products give no instant result. you have to use them in long terms to see the result. and i have to admit, in terms of fighting dark circles, this cream is quite effective. i'm now on my last trimester and right now i'm having difficulty to sleep. and lack of sleep equals dark circles undereye. but using this eye cream, i keep my dark circle to minimum so i only need a dab of concealer if i want to go to party or attend formal occasion. the problem with this cream is, it has no other effect on me beside fighting the dark circle. it's not moisturizing enough for me. royal honey wins over this eye cream in terms of moisturizing. and as for wrinkle fighting, i've noticed if i only slept for 2-3 hours, there's fine lines at the corner of my eye (oh noooo... i'm 30 this year, and i have to fight aging quick!) so i need something else other than this cream.

soooo.. i won't repurchase this cream for sure. and i hate to be back in search for eye cream. i hate if i have to use 2 eye creams for different purposes. i hope i can find one for all eye cream.. any suggestion?
