Welda Wild Rose Smoothing Eye Cream

Don't you just hate it when you buy something either online or in store then, when you get home, you find out that you already own it? I ordered this product on a whim from Feel Unique and, when it arrived, it looked awfully familiar. That's because I had already owned it, used it up and forgot to repurchase. It's like fate (not really, but in a way) and I'm so glad I did.

Welda Wild Rose Smoothing Eye Cream, 10ml

The Welda Wild Rose Smoothing Eye Cream is a light cream that helps diminish puffiness and fine lines. It is a specially formulated cream that is fragrance-free and can be used during the day or at night to help soothe tired and strained eyes. It contains high quality cold-pressed wild rose seed oil, peach kernel oil and almond oil, which strengthens the skin's natural protective barrier and gives the skin extra nourishment, thanks to their essential fatty acids. Eventually, the skin is left hydrated, soft and supple. In addition, eyebright (euphrasia) plant extract has a soothing effect on the skin, and along with the extra of sedum, eases irritation around the eyes. (Source: http://www.weleda.co.uk/)

As I mentioned before, I have owned this product before and used it all up. The reason why I didn't immediately purchase? Well, the price of it slightly bugged me. It costs £14.95 yet only contains 10ml of product, if that. You can see in the last image above, it's tiny! Considering I use this in the morning and at night everyday, the product soon disappears and seems to expensive to keep repurchasing every month or two. Therefore, when the first tube ran out I didn't repurchase.

Now that I'm re-using it again, I can definitely see the difference it makes to my eye area.

I hardly get any sleep - I go to bed at about 1am and wake up at 6.30am. So this product is my life-saver, especially when I have school and want to look awake! I don't have any fine lines but I read that using eye creams at a young age prevents getting lines/wrinkles when I'm older. The cream doesn't have any fragrance to it which is particularly good for those with sensitive skin, like myself. It makes my eye area really soothed and I can definitely see a reduction in the amount of puffiness. Overall, this product is definitely worth the extra splash yet, unfortunately, I don't think it's that much of a necessity for me so I don't think I am going to repurchase.

Recent Purchases from Feel Unique

In my last post I mentioned about an order I placed with Feel Unique, one of my favourite online shopping websites. Today, the package arrived so I'm going to show with you what I got!

Yes To Tomatoes Clear Skin Facial Mask, Bare Minerals Touch Up Veil, Cosmopolitan Beauty Expert Face Brush, Kérastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique, Redken Power Tame 16, Joico Smooth Cure, Neals Yard Remedies Remedy to Roll, Wedla Wild Rose Eye Cream

The main reason for going on Feel Unique was to get some new haircare bits. Ever since Vivianna's review on the Kérastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique (£18.90), I knew I wanted to try it. She has the same type of hair as mine (long, thick, dry) therefore I hope that it works just as well as it does for her on me. I also picked up the Joico Smooth Cure (£11.95) travel set which includes a shampoo, conditioner and leave-in treatment. With high-end hair products I always get travel sizes or miniatures before investing in the large bottles, just to make sure I like them. The last hair product I bought was the Redken Power Tame 16 (£15.15) which is an intense straightening balm for those who want straight, non-frizzy, glossy hair. I have seen any reviews on this, so I'm excited to do my own.

I picked up two skincare items with the first being Yes To Tomatoes Clear Skin Facial Mask (£11.99). I've been using my Body Shop face mask for a long time so I decided to venture out and try a something from a brand I have never used before. It's organic and is therefore filled with properties that are good for your skin. I also bought the Welda Smoothing Eye Cream (£13.45) that says it softens fine lines, preserves the skin's youthful vitality and reduces puffiness. I'm excited to try this. The size of the tube is absolutely tiny - it only holds 10ml's of product which, for the price, isn't a lot. I'll tell you my thoughts and whether it's worth it when I review it properly.

The last three things I bought were random and last minute. I've heard good things about the Neal's Yard Remedies Remedies to Roll (£5.50) oils and heard that they are particularly good for long-haul flights. They have a range of different types such as relaxation travel, yet I decided to try the energy version. I picked up a boring old face brush by Cosmopolitan (£5.95) to use my Mario Badescu powder with. The last thing I bought was the bareMinerals Ready Touch Up Veil in Translucent (£22.00) which was definitely an impulse buy. I've nearly finished my Urban Decay De-Slick and, considering bareMinerals were having a sale, I decided to purchase it. 

I'm really happy with my purchases and, as always, expect individual reviews on each of them in the upcoming weeks!
