Earthbound - cruelty free, hand made!


Review of Earthbound eye gel and night cream
Jo over at earthbound skin care was kind enough to send me a sample of night cream and eye gel to review!   Over at http://www.earthbound.co.uk/you can find organic skincare, hand made in Wales.

Is it just me, or does the picture of an avocado look like Totoro?
Let’s start with the eye gel. As you know, I’m a firm believer in natural ingredients, and it’s nice to understand all the ingredients listed on the label! The eye gel has blueberries in it, which give it a nice fruity smell, and also contains carrageen, which is seaweed! It adds a salty, sea-air type of scent to the mixture. It looks orange, and a little gunky.

I’ve been using it for nearly two weeks now, and I have to say, I like it! Some eye gels or creams tend to make the area around my eyes quite dry! This one keeps them feeling soft, and I’ve noticed they don’t look as worn-out by the end of the day.
The night cream is made of avocado, sunflower oil, rosewater, beeswax and geranium.  The smell is quite hard to describe, kind of sweet and a little green! If that makes sense! It’s very creamy, although the oil does tend to rise to the surface a bit so sometimes you have to mix it before use.

My skin is really dry, and sensitive, so I do have to use night cream (it’s usually a moisturiser that lasts a bit longer on your skin than day moisturisers).  This one is really good! It hasn’t made my skin red, or given me any spots, and sometimes if I’m not putting makeup on the next day I can skip moisturising!! I would really recommend trying this if you have dry skin and find moisturising to be an issue for you.
Overall, I would say I am very impressed with these products. The scent isn’t too strong, the ingredients are organic and natural, and they actually work. Head on over to the website and take a look, and check back here soon for a review of their lip balm! 
Have you tried earthbound products?
