[ETUDE HOUSE] Like 20 (twenty) *EYE CONCENTRATE*

Since I'm already 30 I start using some anti-aging products to prevent my skin of getting wrinkles. For my face I still use products for oily and trouble skin only but for my eye area I get creams that help to firm the skin and reduce fine lines. From [ETUDE HOUSE] I got the COLLAGEN moistfull firming eye cream a while ago which I actually liked and now I have their Like 20 (twenty) EYE CONCENTRATE.
The Like 20 (twenty) line consits of the following products:
- ESSENTIAL EMULSION

- EYE CONCENTRATE
- BOOSTER ESSENCE
- FINISHING CREAM
- ALL-DAY CREAM PACT
- SKIN CARE KIT

Description: This is an eye cream that provides moisture to the dry eye area with its smooth application for a firm eye area free of wrinkles.
All products of the Like 20 (twenty) line are kept in white and violet/lilac colors what I find really nice. The EYE CONCENTRATE is inside a white container with a pump on top and a clear lid. It contains 30 ml!
Beside Ceramide and Murumuru Oil this eye cream also contains Water, Glycerin, Castor Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Cocoa Extract, Fragrance, Alcohol and more.
The yellowish-white eye concentrate has a light creamy consistency and a soft scent.
I use one pump for each eye and apply it twice a day. It's a very smooth cream and gets absorbed quite fast. My eye area feels moisturized but I can't tell if it really helps in firming the skin. I don't think that a product works that fast - maybe when I constantly use it over a long time. Still, I hope that it will at least prevent my skin of getting wrinkles or fine lines caused by dry skin.
How to use: Dispense certain amount onto eye area before applying cream, gently dabbing and absorbing with fingertips. Can be applied onto other areas that need care (mouth area etc.).

Price: About 11,- €/US$15

[ETUDE HOUSE] COLLAGEN moistfull *firming eye cream*

I'm 28 already but people still keep saying I look much younger - like 18~22. I don't have many wrinkles yet, just my eye area got some fine lines. Because of that I started to use eye creams! I finished the EYE'S CREAM stick and use now the COLLAGEN moistfull firming eye cream. This product line is from [ETUDE HOUSE] as well. I wanted the Secret Time Total Eye Balm first but I got told by the seller that it's sold out in Korea.

Anyway, the 'COLLAGEN moistfull' line consists of the following products:
- BB Cream
- Balm
- essence-in pact (Face Powder Pact)
- essence-in primer
- essence-in base
- first essence
- facial freshener
- emulsion
- cream
- enriched cream
- firming eye cream
- facial mist
As you can see, there is quite a lot of stuff available! I got a trial size of the freshener and emulsion, too.

Description: Adhesive, jelly texture gives firmness to the eye area, containing Baobab seed oil with abundant nutrients and moisture to nurture the dry skin area surrounding eyes.
This eye cream is smaller than face creams and comes in a paper box which is colored in light beige and pinkish-orange. It's a nice color, not too strong!
The product itself is inside a small round (glass) jar and contains 25ml. The jar and the lid has the same beige/ pinkish-orange color as the packaging, just that the bottom part is shimmering as well.
As many other creams this one also got a second cover underneath the lid. This cover is thinner than from other products, though.
The white gel-cream is very easy to spread over my eye area and I just need a tiny weeny bit.
The fragrance of the cream is okay! It reminds me of the 'Oil-free Control Cream' [THE FACE SHOP]. Might be a floral scent but I'm not really sure about that.
I will use this firming eye cream mostly before I go to sleep and just sometimes during daytime. Since a little bit of this cream is enough I think it will last me for a while. 
Of course, I hope that it will improve my eye area, too. The EYE'S CREAM stick I used before didn't change anything!

Price: around 15,50,- €/ US$20 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)    

What I love:   
The small amount of cream I need + it moisturize my eye area.

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I dislike atm.

Will I buy this again? Will decide that after I finished this cream.

[ETUDE HOUSE] EYE'S CREAM *Vanilla Moist*

I'm always buying a lot of stuff for my face, hair or body but never something for my eye area. Unfortunately, I'm not that young anymore and I have to start to take care of my eye area as well. Therefore I finally bought a eye cream stick: the EYE'S CREAM from [ETUDE HOUSE].

This eye cream is available as Vanilla Moist and Mint Cooling. I took Vanilla Moist coz I didn't want a cooling stick.

Description: Eye cream stick with a moisturizing, brightening and anti-wrinkle formula to promote youthful skin around the eyes.
The EYE'S CREAM comes in a small paper box which is kept in different colors like (light) beige, orange and brown. When you open the box in the front it looks like a ice-cream cone.
The stick itself is also a small size and contains 6.5g. The color is the same as the box.
When you remove the lid there is another clear cover to protect the cream. You have to twist up the cream to apply it to your eyes. The eye cream is colorless and got a weird fragrance. I can't describe it but it doesn't smell a lot like vanilla. I don't like the scent!
I apply the cream in the morning and evening and my eyes feel so moisturized. As if I put water on my skin. Very nice! I don't really care about the brightening effect but I hope the anti-wrinkle formula will work.

How to use: Twist to dispense. Apply to lower eye-lids by using stick to gently massage around the eyes. Use fingers to gently pat cream into skin.

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)  

What I love:    
The packaging and the moisturizing feeling after applying. 

What I don’t like: 
The fragrance! 

Will I buy this again? Not sure yet! Maybe try out another Eye Cream first.
