Another (Delicious) Eye Cream: A Review of Poppy Austin's Revitalizing Eye Cream

If there's one thing to say about the skincare line, #PoppyAustin, it's that they have created the greatest name on the entire planet. POPPY AUSTIN! It's so catchy and just kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? So in love with it!

As soon as they agreed to send me their eye cream for review, I was super stoked and had high expectations. Plus, they have so many other cool products on their page! Fig oil! Rhassoul clay! Oh my! Stoked, I was, and satisfied, I am.

First, let's talk a bit about the company that created the best name on the planet. I'm loving their website, as its not only aesthetically pleasing and professional, but they have oodles of info about their company and what they stand for- something I truly appreciate. I love to see what these companies stand for!

Poppy's story and values are pretty long- you can view the whole thing here. However, to sum it all up, we'll just list the Poppy Austin philosophy: "To prevent the signs of aging by using only the finest, most ethically sourced cosmetics, produced in exact accordance with Poppy’s Code." What Poppy's Code is exactly, I'm not entirely sure.

Onto the eye cream!!

Here's what they say about it on their web page:  

An elegantly enriched blend of naturally derived and organic (72%) ingredients, working harmoniously to gently de-puff the delicate skin under your eyes, as well as target dark circles, crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles. This product is packed full of natural antioxidants and can be used to smooth, tone and condition your entire face.

(I love that they list the exact percentage of organic and naturally derived ingredients).

And, here's their amazon product description:

ARE YOU TIRED OF DARK CIRCLES, PUFFINESS AND EYE BAGS RUINING YOUR APPEARANCE?

Here's an all natural way to refresh, invigorate and revitalize your eyes.....WITHOUT surgery!

Dermatologists have been warning us for years about looking after the delicate skin around our eyes. It's more fragile, more prone to dryness, and quicker to show age and fatigue than any other part of the body.

Just think for a minute about the number of times you must squint, smile or widen your eyes in surprise. If you combine this with prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays, allergies and lack of sleep, it's almost inevitable that dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles and crow's feet will form around your eyes unless you do something about it.

Ingredients:

Poppy Austin® revitalizing under eye cream contains a cleverly combined blend of 72% organic and natural ingredients. These include our luxurious organic Aloe, Grapeseed Oil, organic Jojoba Oil, Green Tea, Lemon Citrus, organic Rosehip Oil, Vitamins E and C and many other sumptuous moisturizers and natural antioxidants. A full list of ingredients is located on the product packaging (see images above). This is a uniquely stunning and sustainably produced product, made at our women owned and operated facility in the USA, and stored in luxury 100% recycled airless pump container. We use silk screen technologies to print directly onto the face of the container, removing the need to add a separate paper based label

Finally, a company that (sort of) lists the full ingredients! Here's a snapshot of the ingredients label:


Awkward to see, I know.. really awkward. But, at least they pointed out the key ingredients, which include a variety of oils, green tea, aloe, and citruses.

So, does the eye cream live up to the expectations of this badass company name?

I think so! The product doesn't have much of a scent and its very lightweight. It absorbs rather quickly, which is really nice for any skincare stuff, but especially for eye creams- means I don't have to wait as long to apply my makeup! Also, it comes in a white, airless pump container, which, as I've drilled into your brains again and again, prevents product contamination and oxygenation.

After applying this eye cream to my skin, the area around my eyes looked bright and well moisturized. In addition, my skin tone appeared to be more even. Yay!

I'm really into this eye cream and I'm really into this Poppy Austin company. I soooo hope that they need more product opinions in the future, because.. fig oil, what!?!? I've never seen such a thing! Plus, I've been wanting to try rhassoul clay for quite a while.

In the meantime, I'll just stick with my eye cream from this badass cream. You can purchase it here, on amazon, for $22.55. Go for it!
