A few weeks back, Nuxe kindly sent me their new Nuxellence Total Eye Contour and I have been applying this daily, as my morning eye cream since receiving it. It can be used in both the morning and evening, I've decided just to use it in the mornings, mainly due to the cooling and refreshing feel it has as you apply it - every little helps in the morning!
Firstly, I absolutely love the applicator. It's a zamak (essentially a fancy word for metal) massaging applicator (you learn something new every day!) This type of application is very cooling against the delicate skin around the eye area and it also ensures the right amount of product is deposited too.
I like to smooth the product out with the applicator and then tap the rest in gently with my finger.
Now onto the product... it's very thick in consistency, and a little goes a long way. The cream contains both hyaluronic acid and passionflower and the light-reflecting particles help to brighten any dark areas and conceal unevenness. I noticed a difference instantly, in that my under eye area looked like it had been airbrushed - literally, contoured eyes!
The cream also works over time to reduce dark circles, bags and signs of fatigue, for eyes that appear more youthful and rested day-after-day. While I can't really comment on the longer term benefits of using this product, I have been more than impressed with the effects I have seen straight after applying the product (I'm sat here wishing I'd taken before and after photos now! ~ blogger fail!)
It came as no surprise last week that the product won The Best New Everyday Facial Skincare Product in the CEW awards for it's illuminating and smoothing properties.
The Nuxe Eye Contour is £38.00 and available here
