Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Eye Cream Sample.

Who remembers being in primary school and playing with PVA glue, pasting it over your hands, waiting for it to dry before peeling it all off? Why am I asking for such a fond memory? Read on and you’ll find out.

So far with these samples I’ve noticed just how much Fresh has opened my eyes to the world of skincare. Obviously I’d been doing some stuff in the past and yes I’d read countless articles and advice from the best in the biz, but to actually EXPERIENCE products has been a whole other thing, and in part I see it’s because of these samples I’ve been using later. I hadn’t used eye cream before (I honestly never saw the point and kind of still don’t) so I was very intrigued about this Lotus Youth Preserve cream that illuminates and hydrates the eye area – even though at 25 I don’t think I’m the audience in mind for this product, but anyway.

First of all this sample had so much product in it I worried how I was going to use it all in one go. The answer I found was that I wouldn’t. Instead I kept the remaining product to use over a period of time (which I actually forgot about oops, but I did manage to use it more than once which helped this review).

Okay so as I’d never used eye cream before, though I hate to admit it, I was at a total loss for how/where to apply it. I had vague memories of watching Jessica Jung apply her eye cream so I copied what I remembered as well as improvising and applying to my lids which was probably wrong but oh well. The moment the cream touched my face I noticed how cooling it was. I should also add that at the time the corners of my eyes were burning (I’m not sure why) but this cream was really soothing.

oooh so soothing...

i remember jessica saying something like pretending to play the piano on your face helps the eye cream absorb

Now here is where memories of PVA glue come in because I had obviously applied too much product to my face as I noticed the cream peeling in the same satisfying way that I would peel off the PVA from my hands like a second skin.

so peely and flaky... but i'm pretty sure it's because i put too much on
