I was happy to receive another product to test in the comfort of my own home, thanks to the lovely people at Debenhams UK. Thank you once more Alina!
Founded in 2005 by British sisters Clare and Rebecca Hopkins, the Balance Me story begun, as all great stories do, in the kitchen of the family house where the two sisters, using a holistic approach on Chemistry on a base of naturally active botanicals and pure grade essential oils, came out with amazing “clean” skincare products.
They also state that:
Working to enhance your skins’ natural radiance, whilst effectively cleansing, the luxurious skincare brand boasts multi-award winning products that really work to bring your skin back to life. Offering an infusion of sophisticated textures and aromatherapy-inspired active aromas, Balance Me products really are a treat for skin, and are suitable for all skin types.
… and I can confirm that Balance Me products are definitely a treat for your skin.
The Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream is a triple action product: a skin brightening treatment, smoothes away dark shadows and fine lines and hydrates and nourishes your skin.
Made with 99% natural ingredients, the delicate, easily absorbed formula contains calming Roman chamomile, skin-brightening lemon, cucumber oil and witch hazel, hydrating hyaluronic acid, anti-oxidant spruce knot, softening and smoothing virgin coconut, rosehip and carrot oils. A magic blend of Mother Nature’s best assets for the most relaxing and effective skincare experience.
To be used twice a day after moisturizing.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Although I haven’t really noticed ( yet! ) improvements in the whole “smoothing fine lines” area, I have to admit that the Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream is a lightweight, fast absorbing moisturizer that feels comfortable on the skin.
Made with non-irritant natural ingredients, I can messily apply it and it won’t hurt my eyes or the sensitive skin around them.
It hasn’t a strong scent, like some of the skincare products made with natural ingredients tend to have. It does have a fainted herbaly and earthy scent though, non offensive at all!
I can be easily used under makeup without causing any ungraceful slipping or sliding of your foundation or concealer.
Definitely recommend it if you’re on the marked for a simple moisturizer that… simply works!…
See you soon, beautiful!
xx, Annie

Hi, Annie. That was nice of them to send some to you to try and review! I received a generous sample of this in my Birchbox. I too enjoy that it is gentle on the earth and on our faces! It is a rich but lightweight moisturizer. I’m glad you enjoyed it as well! XO

Hi ma belle! Yes I pretty much used it every day ever since they had sent it over! I also clearly enjoyed it because I’m almost out of it! And on a hunt for a new one as well… Any suggestions? Maybe something you’ve tried and love from those magic subscription boxes of yours? Lol
Wishing you a lovely day! And get some rest as well!

My favorite eye cream is Fresh’s Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Concentrate. It’s steep at $85 for 15mL though. I just finished my bottle and haven’t repurchased yet. I remember that you told me that Fresh is hard to get ahold of in Bucharest, though… ??

Exactly! Fresh it’s so hard to find here… In whole Europe actually! But it’s definitely a brand I want to try! Let’s hope it will happen soon!
85 bucks is not the cheapest but I think that eye cream is that one thing you need to invest in to see real results, along with serums and moisturisers!…

I forgot to mention that it is a lovely, lightweight, hydrating moisturiser indeed and didn’t affected my eye makeup at all! I have lots of expression lines due to the shape of my eyes and my annoying photosensitivity and this really helped my makeup not to crease or migrate in any way!
And yeah, the guys at Debenhams are lovely!👌🏼😊

That’s awesome! I have similar concerns with creasing. I really love to use Hourglass’s powder under my eyes to help set my foundation, as well. It seems to be a miracle worker on the creasing front. LOL.

Great review Annie! I received a deluxe sized sample of this in my Birchbox just like Jacqueline said in her comment lol. I really like this eye cream and I think it’s pretty nice. Though I haven’t noticed any effects from using it but I use it just in case! Haha! Though I think I am getting low on what I have left of it. That is so nice of them to send you this eye cream. 🙂 Lots of xx

Thank you beautiful! Yes, this is something that didn’t actually rocked my work but it’s a good under eye moisturiser, I have to give it credits for that! Plus it doesn’t interfere with my makeup which is always great! I have lots of expression lines and wrinkles up there because of the shape of my eyes and my photosensitivity, therefore major issues with creasing!
I find that this eye cream actually prevented that from happening!
Wishing you an amazing day!

It’s a British brand and it’s naturally readily available here in UE!

I’ve never heard of that brand you mentioned and I doubt it can make it here! Lol but I will check it out nonetheless!
