I've been thinking for some time of trying a new eyecream that has more preventative properties and it just so happens that I've also been running low on my Shiseido's Moisture Recharge eyecream. I took this as a cue to do some research online and in store to see what's available out there. In addition to having preventative properties (like anti-aging, anti-wrinkle) it was also really important that the product does not have parabens and as little known harmful chemicals as possible. Because Shiseido's Moisture Recharge has done it's job pretty well for me, I naturally searched for other eye creams by them. To my disappointment, Moisture Recharge was one of the lower price point eye creams they have and anything else that I was interested costed an upwards of $70 so I moved on to other brands. I finally came across a promising eye cream by Tarte. It's their Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment in which they claim brights the area around the eye, firms and hydrates. It's also forumlated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Tarte also do not test on animals. What a nice bonus. I haven't gotten a chance to try the cream out, but I'm probably going to write up a review on it.
I actually came across the eye cream on Sephora's site via their promotional emails. What caught my attention with this particular email is they had new 100 point perks available. On any given day I scuff at Sephora's point system because they do not offer any cash value towards their products and it's injury upon insult when they don't have anything you want to use your points for. I'm going to save that rant for another time. Anyhow, today is one of those rare occassions where I was interested in not 1, but 3 out of the 6 new 100 point perks! That has never happened before. I literally drove to the store during my lunch hour to grab the goodies. And then at check out, I was so very pleasantly surprised that they had another promo going on. This is something every VIB should know! If you are a VIB and spend $38 (CAN), you should get a full sized Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Eye Cream. Retail value is $54. I think this is an exclusive in store offer. Unfortunately, I am unable to confirm if it applies to all stores in Canada, all stores across North America or even how long the promotions lasts. My recommendation is for you to call your closest Sephora store and check with them. Time is of essense so if this is something you want be sure to call as soon as you can.
Well finally, being a VIB can actually be exciting.
