Skin Food: Salmon Brightening Eye Cream & Salmon Dark Circle Concealer

 Hello!
today 2in1 note ;)

Skin Food Salmon Brightening  Eye Cream

Product Description: 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.
How to use: After using the toner, apply an appropriate amount around your eyes, and tap the area lightly to help the skin absorb it.

Before I start the review itself, I have to tell you that I have quite dark shadows around my eyes (not only under, as my eyelids are quite dark as well) and my eyes tends to be puffy. It's genetic (thanks dad! :P) and they always look like that, even if I get decent sleep (but of course gets worse if I don't...). Anyway, I just don't belive in any cosmetic miracles that could solve this problem completly, but still spend fortune on eye care products...
I've decided to give that one a go, because some weird allergy reaction appeard on my eyelids (never had it before) - they were dry, itchy, swollen... Awful :/ Skin Foods uses natural ingredients and salmon is oily, so I hoped for well moisturisation. And my hopes were fullfilled :)
 
The product arrived wrapped in foil, what is typical for Skinfood products. It is a glass jar, covered with some kind of metal (aluminium?) on the outside. First thing what surprised me was the size of the jar - usually I was using eye creams in tubes, I had jar only once and it was tiny. This cream offers us a generous capacity of 30g (I always have problems with imagining size of the product form capacity only, this is why size surprised me). It looks like it is going to last me for a year xD I am using it twice daily from three weeks and so far it looks like barely used.

Cream itself is very rich, but not greasy - it absorbs quickly in skin and leaves it well moisturised. It is suitable to use under make up, as it doesn't leave any layer on skin.
Since it has salmon origin you must wonder how does it smell. Certainly not fishy ;) it has nice, subtle flowery scent. It's a Skin Food thing - you don't really know what kind of smell to expect (extracts from tomatoes, salmon, mushrooms...), but at the end of the day smell is a nice surprise.

Now the most important part: performance. Ladies and Gentleman, I am happy to announce that Salmon Brightening Eye Cream works! :) My skin around eyes feels great - it's brighten and moisturised, and with good moisturisation goes also a delicate neutralisation of wrinkles (I have 'smiling' horizontal lines under my eyes). Unfortunately it doesn't do anything with puffiness, but producent doesn't promise that, so there is nothing to moan about.

Price: from £9 on e-Bay.

Pros:
+ rich consistency and fast absorbent
+ good moisture
+ nice smell
+ does brighten dark circles
+ quite cheap considering capacity

Cons:
- doesn't fight puffiness, but producent doesn't promise that, so it's kinda 'half-con' ;)

Skin Food Salmon Dark Circle Concealer Cream

Product description: This concealer effectively hides dark circle, with salmon extract and oil.
How to use: After applying foundation, dispense an adequate amount and then gently tap onto dark circles around the eyes.

Product comes in glass jar, cap. 10g, the foil thermo-wrapped around jar is guarantee that product is new. Concealer is available in two shades: #1 Salmon Blooming and #2 Salmon Beige, I have #1. When I first opened the jar colour surprised me a little bit...

As you can see colour seems to be a bit weird pinkish- orange. But it turned out that it's just the smoothened, top layer of product which has such a weird looking colour, underneath it looks better:

The consistency is quite dense (so we can't literally put finger into it, but just touch up the top of it) and  velvety in touch. Application is nice and easy - a touch of concealer is enough to get the right amount on the finger and then just pat it into skin. It stays nicely on the skin and covers all the purplish circles around eyes, makes them look more radiant. It doesn't roll up and doesn't get into wrinkles. It also have caring properties - skin around eyes is so nice and smooth I want to touch it all the times xD I've also done a little experiment and tried it out on other parts of my face and it worked a little bit, but it's clearly not meant for covering spots.

Price: from £5 on e-Bay.

Pros:
+ a little goes a long way
+ cheap
+ not only conceals but cares as well
+ doesn't roll up
+ good coverage
+ nice smell

Cons:
NONE! :)

Both products from Salmon series are very good and highly recommended :)
