I was very privileged and thankful to be given the amazing opportunity to review Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl. Thank you very much BR :-)
Lets start with the packaging. The black boxed packaging has the Lancome signature small rose on it and also a silver tear drop/pearl on the front of the box. The packaging makes you feel you are in for a high quality, luxurious experience. On the boxed packaging there is also clear written instructions along with a visual on how to apply Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl.
Once the box is opened there is an elegant, sturdy glass bottle that is silver in colour with a steel like cap. The cap has the Lancome signature small rose on top.
To use, simply twist the silver cap open to reveal the magical 360 degree eye massage applicator. The applicator swivels to the contour of your eye, so is very flexible when using. It is like a magical wand.
I apply Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl after cleansing in the morning and the evening. Be patient when applying as it doesn't absorb instantly.
Before applying, I swirl the light pearl applicator around the neck of the bottle to remove any excess serum before applying. A little truly goes a long way. Then with the light pearl applicator simply sweep back and forth around the eye contour and massaging with small circular movements. You will work out very quickly a routine of application that will suit just you. - wide arcing motions, circular motions both big and small and don't forget to go across your upper lash line as well.
The tear shaped bead that massages the serum on and around your eye area is very cooling and relaxing. My skin feels instantly energised. The serum is fragrance free and has a light- medium weight gel consistency. I have sensitive eyes and the Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl has not caused myself any irritation in the way of dryness or itching.
I can't stress enough how wonderful the cooling sensation is upon applying. At the time of writing my review today, I have been using Lancome Genifique Advanced Genifique Light Pearl twice a day for just over 2 weeks and have already noticed some small differences. My eye area appears firm and brighter - I don't look as tired and my eye area is definitely well hydrated.
I love this product and will continue to use.
I received this of the lovely bexb, as I was after some thing for my wrinkles around my eyes I was contemplating Botox so we are looking at serious wrinkles. A grey bottle with a really nice applicator it's a stick with a teardrop shaped ball attached, I'm in love with this applicator it's so nice to swirl this around my eyes so and cooling and such a lovely way to apply this eye serum.
This is milky white with a thin consistently, the scent reminds me faintly off pva glue just a hint of it. This I swirl around my delicate eye area not only softly massaging my skin but loading it up with this serum, soft and cooling, I sort of twirl the ball in the bottle up the neck to take of any extra serum. Directions are great, for me just pressing on my lines ah does wonders, it's so nice to be able to put a serum nearly in the corner of my eye. After day five my darkness under my eyes has greatly lessened my lines are definitely looking better, I found this from the first application my skin was refreshed and puffiness was greatly reduced. I also seem to have less squinting power or my skin around my eyes has a little less movement I haven't had Botox I'm thinking maybe it's like that as some of my friends have had it done, it sounds similar, not as frozen.
I had to get myself some I brought myself to full sized and have been using it morning and night. Definitely worth trying, I got results:)
Tips: This can even be applied over makeup
